Dr. Adams Won't Talk, Neither Will Oprah

The doctor who operated on Kanye West's mom the day before she died bailed on Larry King last night, but his reasons for walking off the set don't add up.


TMZ has broken story after story, showing Dr. Adams has had multiple malpractice lawsuit filed against him, sexual battery allegations, three DUIs and a domestic violence restraining order.
The director of the Medical Board of California is currently going after his license.

So when Dr. Adams told Larry King the West family didn't want him talking, in reality he had plenty to talk about that did not involve Dr. Donda West.

And speaking of not talking, TMZ has been hounding Oprah, NBC and Discovery Health for more than a week, asking if they did background checks before putting Dr. Adams on the air. If they did, they would have discovered -- for starters -- that he's not a board certified plastic surgeon.


Oprah's company and NBC, which featured Dr. Adams on "The Other Half," have been completely unresponsive -- not a word. Discovery Health, which put Dr. Adams in a starring role in a plastic surgery series, finally responded yesterday claiming they did a background check but refused to say what it turned up.

46. First Oprah was pushing a writer (turned out badly),.............. then a plastic surgeon (again turned out badly)............now she trying to push Obama as the next President of the USA?
Seems to me, Oprah is not a good judge of people. We sure need to question what she likes us to believe.

48. # 51. Your right with out her African school girls would have to stay home to be abused. But under her outstanding guidance the can be abused by strangers thanks Oprah africa is a better place. If all you Oprah fans would put down your Bon Bons get your ass off your coutch and help out in your communities maybe just maybe you would see a difference right here at home. But if you would rather help Africa THEN HELP right a check, take a Vacation there or sponsor a child but you wont. It is her responsibility to check her guest back ground do you think his career was hurt by being on her SHOW. I think NOT. She made him a TV personality that helped his career and lead to the success he had after her show.

P.S. happy holidays

49. Why do they allow you idiots to make comments on things you do not have all the facts to? The surgery performed by Dr. Jan Adams on Donda West did not cause her death. That was the coroners statement. Of course you ignoramuses know more than the coroner. If Oprah let him operate on her, she will be getting a damn good surgeon. If he was white, we would not have seen half of the smear campaign the did on this man.
