Montel Williams Responds to Unwanted Attention Amidst Kamala Harris Campaign
Former television host Montel Williams has found himself back in the spotlight, but not for the reasons he would have hoped. The resurgence of interest in Williams comes as a result of Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to run for president in the upcoming 2024 election, with some digging up his past relationship with Harris in an attempt to discredit her.
Williams, who briefly dated Harris back in 2001, has been vocal about the unfair treatment and line of questioning towards the Vice President. In a series of since-deleted tweets, Williams warned against using their past relationship as a means to attack Harris, calling out the media for their “creepy” and “misogynistic” questions.
Despite the attempts to drag him into the political mess, Williams has remained defiant and unapologetic. When a Trump supporter and former White House exec posted a picture of Williams on Twitter in an attempt to provoke a reaction, Williams responded with grace and class, shutting down the attempt to smear his reputation.
In a time where political mudslinging and personal attacks are all too common, Montel Williams’ refusal to engage in the drama and his commitment to standing up for what is right is a refreshing change of pace. As the 2024 election cycle heats up, it’s clear that Williams won’t be backing down in the face of adversity.
