Montel Williams is a bad father, according to his children. The talk show host has been entangled in a custody battle for the past ten years. He currently pays $18,700 a month in child support, but hardly sees his children Montel and Wyntergrace, and they are upset about it. Most children would just be happy with a large check ($18,700 a month), but not Montel and Wyntergrace, they actually want to spend some quality time with their father who’s to busy saving other children and ignoring his own.
My dad is now like a stranger,” Wyntergrace, who turns 15 this week, told the Daily News. “Everyone knows him as a great guy, but he’s not making the best choices as a parent.”
I wouldn’t say I really have a relationship with my dad,” the younger Montel said. “He’s not in my life right now. It’s his choice. “I eat every night. I’m comfortable, but I can’t say I have him as a father,” he added. “There’s all this fighting over things that shouldn’t be a fight, like paying for my PSAT.” (I’m sorry is he pays $18,700 a month in child support, why in the world should he have to pasy for the PSATs #imjustsayin)
Wyntergrace has seen him four times in five years and their last meeting – a therapy session in September – was a disaster. “He walked in already mad. He said he thought we were going to dinner, but my e-mail clearly said we were going to see my therapist,” she said. “It was intimidating. I was thinking, ‘Why should I talk if I’m just going to get yelled at?’ {Source}
Sounds like a publicity stunt. The lawyer probably put the kids up to this to get more money so they can close the settlement as fast as possible.

I have to disagree with u mrsgapevine. I don’t think you can put a child up to something like this. I believe they are telling the truth. And coming frm a single parent house hold. I kno 1st hand about stuff like this. I feel sorry for any kid who has to deal with that.

Only reason I say this is because they went to the press. In celebrity that is pretty suspicious. Who called the magazine? The kids?
Montel has been fighting for custody for ten years, and he actually pays his support in the mean time. Doesn’t sound like a father who is not trying. So I’m not going to jump on bandwagon to day he’s bad because it sounds like there is a lot more to this story.
Sounds like a father who has road block…
I was raised by my mom, and so I know first hand how hard it is. But, I know my mother never spoke bad of my father, no matter what she was feeling. She definitely wouldn’t allow me to tell it the press.

montel is the typical old irresponsible negro who cares about no one but himself, but he can run around criticizing young rappers who are taking care of black women and children.
