Dr. Adams Cuts and Runs from Larry King

Posted Nov 20th 2007 9:04PM by TMZ Staff

He was supposed to finally discuss the death of his most famous patient, Dr. Donda West, but Dr. Jan Adams bailed on "Larry King Live" instead -- walking off the set live on the air.


Adams did not come out for the first segment of the show -- as he was scheduled. He appeared after the first commercial break, and told Larry King that he would not speak.

Adams then took off his earpiece and walked off the set. Larry quickly threw to commercial.

Later in the show, Alan Tenenbaum, an attorney for Dr. Adams, explained that Adams received a letter from attorneys representing the West family. The letter asked him not to appear on the show.

King left open the possibility that Adams could appear on the show again Wednesday.

5. This fool is on my last nerve. Out of respect for this family he should not do this show!!!!! He can make a statement or something, why does he have to do the show, somebody tell me that seriously, maybe I'm missing something. Isn't he a skip away from getting his license revoked anyway WITHOUT the situation with Kanye's mother. I'd sue his ass too. Looking at Larry King right now, Larry just said he would be coming on the show.

8. Okay watching the show right now and....why did he bring his self out, just to say he wasn't going to do the show out of respect for the West family. Why didn't he just not come out at all for respect for the West family. Did he really need them to tell him not to come out for him to realize he shouldn't have, I mean really.

11. He should rot in jail, lock this man up and throw away the keys. Make him loose everything his has gained from these poor ladies. He stole their money and their dream.

12. I personally won't say he's guilty of anything until the test results say he's at fault. Maybe he is a slimeball but it doesn't make him guilty of this death. What is Kanye's family afraid of?

13. This guy is a complete idiot and is trying to do a publicity campaign before that lady is even in the ground.
It shows how clueless he really is. A normal person would be laying low and realize the extreme seriousnes of the situation but this guys ego is so huge that he doesn't get it.

14. OMG that was funny. Larry's face was priceless

15. Larry made a face right before he shook his hand good bye. Larry was clearly rattled.

Adams is a shmuck...the West family will sue him anyway.

Goofs the both of them
