Tracy Morgan Allegedly Bullied 7-Year-Old Co-Star For Being Funny: 'That Messed Me Up'
Bobb'e J. Thompson alleged in a recent podcast interview that his former co-actor, Tracy Morgan, secretly bullied him as a young actor.
On Monday, Thompson, who co-starred with Morgan on "The Tracy Morgan Show" in the early 2000s, appeared as a guest on Comedy Hype's podcast. During the interview, the now-28-year-old looked back on his early years in Hollywood and an incident he allegedly experienced with an older co-star, who he did not name at first.
"I remember being a kid on a certain set and the star of this project that I was working on, this n*** got mad at me. I'm just a 7-year-old kid just doing my job. N*** got mad at me, grabbed me by my collar and was like, 'Who the f*** is on that sign my n***?'" he said.
Before finally naming Morgan as the co-star he was talking about, he shared that this actor intimidated him on set with a bunch of F-words.
"'Who the f***ing name is that right there? Stop getting in these scenes and hamming it up,'" his older co-star allegedly said to him.

He added that the "Scare Tactics" star also got mad at him if he "missed a line" because he's "making a facial expression or doing something.
"You took me as a 7-year-old child and made me feel bad for doing my job well. [The] only thing I was doing what I was learning from you my n***a," he addressed his alleged bully during the interview.
"That hurt me. That messed me up."
Around six minutes into the interview, Bobb'e said Morgan, whom he looked up to as his idol, also yelled at him for "being too funny."
"I never understood it. It took me the longest to even tell my mama because I was like, 'What do I even say?' Like the n**** yelled at me for being too funny? How do I even tell my mama?" he shared.
Thompson portrayed the role of Jimmy Mitchell on David M. Israel and Jim O'Doherty's TV sitcom starring Morgan from 2003 to 2004.
He was one of Tracy Mitchell (Morgan)'s sons on the show alongside actor Marc John Jefferies, who played the role of Tracy's teenage son Derrick.
