“The last thought I had was, ‘Holy s–t, this could be it,'” he recalled, adding that his body was “vibrating” after going into septic shock.
“I was trying to read for roles that were my age, and I couldn’t get out of high school,” he claimed.
Williams said his body “just crashed,” and he underwent an emergency procedure to remove six inches of his lower intestine. He recalled rushing back into surgery when his intestines perforated because they were too damaged to heal back together. Williams won the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series award for “Everybody Hates Chris” at the 2007 NAACP Image Awards.“The last thought I had was, ‘Holy s–t, this could be it,'” he recounted, adding that his body was “vibrating” after going into septic shock.
Williams pulled though, but he said his younger brother, Tyrel, experienced his own Crohn’s flare-up in 2020. Now, the pair, along with their youngest brother, Tylen, who is symptom-free, focus on their health together.
