Montell Williams wasn’t interested in any hidden agendas that were planned by Fox News producers at the Republican National Convention and he made his sentiments quite clear when he walked off the show. Apparently, Montell and Bill O’Reilly clashed before the show was even underway, but of course there are two sides to the story.
During the live broadcast, the angry Fox host offered an evasive explanation for the ordeal by only opting to criticize Montell for his abrupt exit. Bill insisted Williams became angry over “some gay thing.” “He will never be never be on this program again. He’s not a man of his word, he’s unprofessional,” Bill said. However, Williams claims that definitely wasn’t the case. Initially, he was invited on the show to further expound upon a speech he’d given earlier that day in regards to LGBT rights and offer his opinion of a poll suggesting President Barack Obama is racist.
But, right before the show, Montell was told the LGBT part of the discussion would be cut and the segment would be based on the allegations against President Obama. So, basically Montell wasn’t interesting in an Obama-bashing session. So, he decided not to partake in the discussion. Of course, the abrupt change of plans angered Fox producers, but Montell didn’t care and he did not return although he was asked repeatedly. In fact, he even had his team stop the producers in their tracks.
“Suddenly [Fox News host] Eric Bolling is involved and it’s all about Obama being a racist,” Williams said. “I walked before air, they chased me half way around the building. My detail had to stop them. I’m solely focused on my [LGBT] speech,” he said. “When that was eliminated, why stay?” he added.
Shortly after being criticized by Bill O’Reilly and Eric Bolling, Montell took to Periscope and Twitter with a response to the who ordeal where he gave a detailed explanation from his perspective.
