Gossip Cop Confirms: “Golden Voiced” Ted Williams Heading To Rehab

Online
» 6 comments

Gossip Cop has confirmed that Ted Williams, the homeless man who found fame and various job offers after a video of him using his radio-friendly voice made the rounds on the internet, has been on something of an emotional roller coaster the past few weeks, culminating in a trip to rehab to address his dependency on alcohol.

As TV viewers and blog readers monitored his progress closely, Williams admitted that he has had to struggle with alcoholism and drug use – habits that saw Williams losing his job and growing estranged from his family. As Gossip Cop reports, Williams was finally reunited with several members of his family on Dr. Phil’s daytime show. After taping the segment, Williams and his daughter, Janey, entered into an altercation. He was then invited back on the show, where he revealed that he is still drinking.

Dr. Phil then urged Williams – off-camera – to seek help for his addiction.

    Health comes first for all of us. I wish him well in his recovery!

    Called it. It’s funny that the media and the posters here actually believed he was sober because he said he was.
    No nothing about addicts, you do.

    I hope the people here who blamed his sister for gold-digging feel silly now.

    Also, a 28 day rehab won’t cut it. Hr needs 6 months at least. He is not Kelsey Grammer he is a chronically homeless crack addict.

    I wish him well, but I also know how much of a criminal he has been for the past decade, how many people he has robbed and hurt, so I have little sympathy for him until he takes a one year token.

    Tough love, baby. It’s all that works.

    I also thought it was revealing when he said he didn’t hit back at his sister but it was getting to the point where things would get out of control. That meant him. He was about to go out of control and he would have hit her.
    He all but admitted it in his profanity laden booze filled mind. To paraphrase. “I didn’t hit her but I was about to”
    He wanted credit for it because in his mind she deserved it.
    I have no respect for men who hit woman. Ever.
    He also called her a liar on national TV while she had a tear in her eye and he had bloodshot eyes. And you guys bought it.
    He is still a despicable addict.

    If I had to go on Dr. Phil I would drink too

    I’m rooting for him! Hope he gets well soon.

    Maybe now you can stop all the stories about this guy. Please.
