Montel Williams Threatens to "Blow Up" Teen

Montel Williams threatens to "blow up" a 17 year old high school newspaper intern and film crew in Savannah, Georgia.

This video precedes the threat. The threatened girl can be heard asking fair and innocent questions.

"I'm trying to figure out exactly why you are here and what the interview is about," Montel snapped at Savannah Morning-News intern Courtney Scott.

"I'm here as a patient advocate talking about the fact that medications available today are saving people's lives, that's what's saving mine and after that, this interview is done," the multiple sclerosis-afflicted Montel said before storming out.

Later, Montel confronted Courtney and crew at his hotel, while they were covering another story (On gingerbread houses).

"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 Web content producer for the newspaper. "At this time he was randomly pointing at all of us."

"I'm not sure if he meant 'blow me up' and ruin my career or really blow us up, but it was threatening," Courtney added.

I didn't hear any threats and they were asking him things that had nothing to do with why he was there..he is a busy person and I would have left as well..Love ya, Montel!

The threats were made afterward. What was said is written in the description.

Nice! I really liked what he said. Sometimes we tend target and ask questions to the wrong people and I think he made it clear he's not the one to be asked INDUSTRY related questions. You want to know about medicine, ask the manufaturer, not the user.

[oxcide101]

No NO he actully handeled it calmly cmon I admit when peeps are dicks he was polite.

[kingphilipofny]

@wanderinglupa montell is right!! when i have major headaches i take Tylenol and they go away. if i wait for them to go away they intensify and what not. some pills take away pain. some medications get rid of bacteria. and all of that. you cant just bash all the companies. you have to be precise.

[IndiaHicks1]

Multiple Sclerosis makes people crazy.

"I'm a big star" What a blowhard.  Montel sounds like a jackass. Newsflash Monty, not everyone is like your incestuous circle of syncophants who massage your ego till money comes out your pocket. Your just a guy with crappy shows exploiting stupid people's superstitions.

"I'm trying to figure out " That is a perfect response to an OBVIOUSLY dumb question, the question she ask's is a waste of time no wonder he responded that way. Then he owned the girl and camera man MORE by turning it on them, classic move when you as an interviewE feel you've been disrespected. this girl is asking questions that are pitiful. "I'm here as a patient" again a PERFECT response to a stupid interviewer question. You are an idiot ispy, let me guess your the interviewer or camera?
