Montel Williams has multiple sclerosis. Sylvia Browne has predicted that a cure for multiple sclerosis will be found in Montel's lifetime. Go figure.

Montel Williams has multiple sclerosis.

Sylvia Browne has predicted that a cure for multiple sclerosis will be found in Montel’s lifetime.

Go figure.

At the time, Bess Houdini was described by many of her friends as drinking heavily, a not-unlikely circumstance following the death of a loved spouse; self-medicating loss and depression with alcohol is common. I would not describe her as, "weak" nor would I say that it "ruined her reputation completely". I would describe her as a woman going through a horrible loss and grasping at hope while under the influence of alcohol. Her reputation among her friends did not suffer; she was seen as someone to be pitied, not censored. And the only "scandal" per se was the fact that she was seen in public inebriated on more than one occasion. Women drinking themselves to death in *private* was one thing (and also not at all uncommon). Drinking to a state of being affected by it in *public* was quite another matter at the time.

And that it's been substantiated! It happened to me! Right here in London! I was just passing this house when the door opened and there was this girl who I had never seen before in a state of undress, beckoning me in, saying that she needed a male volunteer for a seance experiment. It couldn't have been more than two minutes of succumbing to her invitation that I entered a trance-like state. When I awoke, I was stark naked and I could hear the young lady, as if from afar, excitedly describing in meticulous detail to someone just what wild sex had happened between us. She had apparently put me into a hypnotic trance, to realise, I suspect, some wild and erotic fantasy. I didn't know that at this time she was on the phone to the police. Honestly officer! That's exactly what happened! Can you loosen these handcuffs a bit? My hands are going numb. I'll come quietly. Promise! (Transcript of Statement for defense/sexual assault - excerpt thereof.
