MONTEL WILLIAMS' behavior Friday was the stuff of daytime talk show guests. Williams allegedly threatened to blow up a high school intern at the Savannah Morning News in Savannah, Georgia after he ended an interview when she angered him by asking a question about the pharmaceutical industry.
The 51-year-old Williams, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and champions free prescriptions for the underprivileged, was in Savannah to promote the cause. He ended an interview, though, when COURTNEY SCOTTT asked him, quote, "Do you think pharmaceutical companies would be discouraged from research and development if their profits were restricted?"
Williams later confronted Scott while she covered a different assignment because he believed she had been following him. According to another employee at the newspaper, the talk show host told Scott, quote, "Do you know who I am? I'm a big star and I can look you up, find where you live and blow you up." Scott filed a police report in the aftermath of Williams' actions.
Williams, meanwhile, has tried to make amends by inviting Scott to New York City to attend a taping of his talk show where he would make a public apology. Williams also wrote an e-mail apology sent from an address belonging to the president of the company that produces his show. Scott doesn't seem impressed by Williams' offer, though. She said she would go, but she thinks Williams' people are the ones who extended the invitation, and not Williams himself.
***Wow...Montell is losing his mind...making a little newspaper intern cry...then file a police report against him...
