Remember Ted Williams and his golden voice? Last week he was panhandling on the side of a highway in Ohio, only to be pulled from the street by way of a viral video. Since then he's been whisked away by various press outlets and possible employers, and most recently he was in Los Angeles meeting Kobe Bryant and filming a Dr. Phil episode (with his ex-wife and estranged children). And then the levee broke!
According to the Daily News, Williams was briefly detained by the LAPD at his Hollywood hotel last night, where they were responding to a disturbance call. Williams was allegedly in an altercation with his daughter, and the two were brought to the station. Williams has been released, and no one has been charged with a crime, but the investigation is still ongoing.
We're gonna go ahead and blame Dr. Phil for this one. Some feelings were just meant to be repressed and buried!
