Weeks after talk show legend, Montel Williams was rushed to the hospital following a May 2018 injury during his workout, he’s given his first update about his recovery. He sacred the hell out of all of his fans, when it was announced he wasn’t doing too well. However, at that time, his rep’ then gave news that Williams’ life had been spared and he was stable.
Initially Montel’s team thought he would be out of the hospital in a matter of days, but now, Montel has confirmed he’s still in the intensive live-in recovery facility in New York. The good news is that in his video update, he looked happy and on his feet, even though he seems to have shed a few pounds.
Williams’ Video Update
Montel shared a video of himself walking and being guided by his nurse inside the recovery facility during one of his physical therapy sessions. In fact, he felt so upbeat, that he was able to get his dance on for a few seconds. Check out his post below…

His caption pretty much summed up the love he feels from the millions of well wishers who have been worried about the 61 year old star.
Montel Williams: “I’m back. I have more rehab to do so I can get back in the gym, but I’m back. Thank you all for the messages, the calls, the prayers. My family and I will never forget the outpouring of support. I am where I am because of each of you 🙏🏾. #ThankYouFDNY”
Williams thanked the Fire Department of New York in his video update, because they were the first to quickly respond to the 911 phone call that was made on his behalf during his gym accident.
What Happened To Williams During Accident
In case you missed our previous report, Montel, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, was doing barbell squats at an undisclosed New York gym, when he suddenly fell very ill. It’s unclear exactly what happened to him, but at that time his rep released a statement saying that Montel had “overdid it” during his workout.
“Anyone who knows Montel knows that he is an exercise enthusiast,” explained Montel Williams’ rep. “Yesterday, he overdid it, and has been admitted to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. He is doing well and anticipates being discharged soon. … “In the coming days, as he always has, Montel will tell his story himself. Until then, we respectfully ask that his family’s privacy be respected. …The Williams family will be forever grateful for the quick response from [New York City Fire Department] and the excellent care he has received.”
Prior to his current health status, Montel Williams was one of the most fit 61 year olds we’d ever seen. That fact was evident not just in his muscular form, but in his abilities to still be able to do physically challenging activities, while inflicted with multiple sclerosis. A few months ago, he shared two videos- one of himself skiing and another where he became emotional while discussing his gratitude over this topic:

As you can see, he takes his health very seriously, especially after being diagnosed with the incurable multiple sclerosis. He follows a clean eating regimen and a vigorous workout schedule.
Sometimes, we all fall down, but just like Donnie McClurkin once said, “but we get it up.” We have faith that Montel will be right back to his normal self in no time. Sending healing energy and loveto him at this time.
