Talk show host Montel Williams has apologized for an angry confrontation with reporters who said he threatened them.

Williams -- in Savannah to promote a program giving free prescriptions to low-income people -- became upset with a reporter's question Friday and terminated an interview.

When the Savannah Morning-News reporters later returned to the hotel for an unrelated assignment, he approached one of them -- high school student Courtney Scott, an intern at the newspaper.

I wish that these guys would meet a real tough guy and try to get away with that kind of talk.
Montel wouldn't talk like that anymore.

We can be somewhat tolerant of the LOW-IQ types, but this uppity behavior crosses the line. This clown should be BANNED from TV and radio. The world doesn't need his arrogance.

Obviously those three dots in the quote indicate Montel was misquoted and taken out of context.

Is Williams the one the Bush Administration was paying to give positive reports on No Child Left Behind? Who was that guy?

there goes his nice, cozy job. His great hotelrooms he stayed in every night. Because those pharma companies spare no dime fo advertisement. But you have to be squeaky clean. Good bye Monty. A hypocrit at the end always will be exposed, It just takes time.

Ex wrestler, big ego. He should run against Al Franken for Governor of Minnesota.

By the way, who is he and what does he do? I've never heard of him. Is he another third-rate sports star trying to beat a drug addiction?

If he in fact said these things, then there should be no room for egomaniacs like Montel in the media. And I used to like him. He should be take off the air or people should just stop watching him.

Correction/edit for my previous post: I meant CNBC, not MSNBC.
