Montel to Teen: I Wasn't Really Going to Blow You Up

Montel WilliamsMontel Williams has issued an apology to Courtney Scott, the high school intern who he threatened to "blow up" Friday.

Williams sent the student an email via one of his producers, saying, "Regrettably I reacted childishly to the situation and for that I truly apologize to all concerned. I would like to invite Courtney and her family to appear on my show for a public apology." What a heart of fool's gold!

Montel confronted Scott and two other reporters after he mistakenly thought they had followed him to talk about a previous interview. The group was actually covering an assignment completely unrelated to him. Oops! A police report was filed by the student subsequent to the confrontation.

46. I would have loved to hear Montel say that in front of the general manager of WTOC in Savannah where that girl was working. Mr. Cathcart would have put him on his ass.

47. Let me get this right... Montel threatened to BLOW SOMEONE UP? And he's still on the air? All Don Imus had to do was call somebody "Nappy Headed" and he was drummed out of his job by Al Sharpton and that crowd.

I didn't notice good ole Al sticking his butt into this one. Did anybody else?

I just find that... interesting...

49. WHY DID HE NEED HIS BODYGUARD to CONFRONT THE 17 year old?? I thought he did exercise books, and navy? and practical parenting books....perhaps it went up in smoke!

50. Wow, it looks like something blew up in his face. Either that or someone punched him in both eyes. This guy used to look so good on his talk show . . .what happened to his face?

51. I only know very little about this story only what TMZ has provided. It's like this if he did threaten a girl underage to blow her up!.....Then I hope he get's the proper punishment. I don't think this even compares to what Don Imus said!! Oh yes, you can bet he will play the race card when that has nothing to do with this. YOU DON'T THREATEN TO BLOW SOMEONE UP!

54. oh,my god another threat from another "famous" person. just what the hell was he thinking!? did he have to have the attention that bad? a threat is a threat especially this day and time. i am sure he did not mean it,but then again who knows. the girl did not just laugh it off and then he relized just what he had said and started the "I'am Sorry" BS well it may be BS to him but you bet your sweet A@@ it is not BS to her. Do you think he has been chating with "Dog", maybe he will call and as for some advice!! LMAO, never really cared for him in the first place,he thinks he is so full of himself,always doing the "Who's your baby daddy" well,montel you best be figuring out a way to settle out of court because you are going to get sued "Big Time" and she will get Monies!!

55. Please photoshop that picture of him and remove those dark circles under his eyes. How much makeup does he wear when he appears in public. He looks like HELL....pun intended.
The horns are a nice touch.

59. To Lori, #55 who said "i just don't get the big deal about this. so, he overreacted. haven't we all probably been there, done that? it's no reason to get all lawyer happy.."

I don't know what mental institution you just left, but we have not all been there, or done that. Those involved in the incident told the police:

"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,'"

Um, no. This is not something we have all done to a child.

60. For your information this craftweasel was N E V E R a Marine! Don't ever sully their good name. He was in the Navy ... briefly, but he was NEVER a Marine.
