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.

16. Apparently, he just walked off the set. But he was talking for about 1 or 2 minutes.

17. Uh TMZ, Kanye West cannot revoke Dr. Adams' medical license. Does anyone at TMZ proof read your copy?

18. What a jackass. He can kiss his career goodbye. This was nothing more than a stunt and a disrespectful one at that. My goodness, the woman was just buried today!

22. Grandstanding, P.R. stunt !! Why didn't he just pull out of the show? Why come out just to make a dramatic exit by pulling off microphones and earphones like he was doing something honorable?

26. "Grandstanding, P.R. stunt !!" You got that right! While I was looking forward to hearing his story and his answering questions, I was not shocked when pulled his whole stunt.

27. "When they're comfortable, I'll be comfortable"?
I don't think Kanye West will be comfortable for a long time
if every time he talks or sings about his mother, he's
going to break down and cry.

30. I am going to bet that there will be a statement issued by Kanye West that says that they NEVER asked this guy "not to speak." It's a coward's way out..."Oh gee, I'd like to talk about it but I care about them too much." Translation: I can't handle even the easiest of questions, and I'm already involved in too many lawsuits...so I have to find a way to get myself out of this. HEY, I KNOW...'the family asked me not to speak.'

Bet me.
