You couldn't pay me to listen to this arrogant a**wipe. He went off on one of the local reporters back in 2007, and basically threatened to "find where she lived, and blow her up"
Here is the excerpt:
Montel Williams told off some Savannah Morning-News reporters in Georgia this past Friday. Depending on how you interpret his words, could have also threatened to murder the lot of them.
One of the reporters recounts the incident, where, Williams, clearly let his celebrity ego take hold:
"As we were preparing to film, Montel walked up with his bodyguard and got in Courtney Scott's face pointing his finger telling her 'Don't look at me like that. 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,'" said Joseph Cosey, a Wweb content producer for the newspaper. "At this time he was randomly pointing at all of us."
I was never really fond of him...but this incident made me think less of him as a person.

hello sexy, your the a**hole!!! like you have never had a break down. he is human just like anyone else. and if people were all up in my business and my face i would snap back like that to. and i hope that his show is successsful because montel has done more for people than you ever could have wished to do for others. He is sick and human, but i guess tight asses like you don't pay attention to that. i would have said something a lot worse. GOod luck montel and i miss your show with a passion!!! i hope that you come back soon and i hope that you get a cure. if it wasn't for your show i probably wouldn't be here. My father went to your show and met sylvia brown who told him what my mother looked like. he met her and had me and my sister. he died when i was five but thanks to you and your caring for others i was born. god bless you and find a cure soon. k
