Marty Ingels Takes on TMZ

So, Harvey Levin went to the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Hollywood last night where Howard Bragman, a publicist, was having a book signing ("Where's My Fifteen Minutes?"). Levin goes down the elevator to leave, the door opens in the lobby and there is comedian/actor Marty Ingels ... who was really pissed.

Marty Ingels: Click to view!

Last month we showed the surveillance tape shot at a Burbank hat store. Cops had sent the case to the Burbank City Attorney but last week the City Attorney announced no charges would be filed.

Last night, Ingels said we did him wrong and that the hat he took out of the store was his own and he didn't steal anything.

We got Marty (who's married to Shirley Jones) on tape this AM to tell his story.

More about the confrontation on TMZ TV tonight!

Marty Ingels once said of his wife (of 26 years), “She lives in a world of flowers and frenzy and sees only flowers.” He also said that when they got married in 1977, she received gifts from all over the world - and he received 16 letters of disbelief and two death threats.

Well Marty---the above says it all doesnt it---your own words too.

my 3 cents:  1124 days ago

I watched the whole tape.
I don't think it was his intention to steal any hats.
Case closed.
Now, whats the deal with the black hat on his head, does he work as the Monopoly Guy on the weekends or does he ride the horse carriages on the weekend in NYC?
Please bring back HIEDI AND SPENCER i need to make fun of them.

Apparently, someone has stolen Santa's hat and replaced it with an ugly hat.
