Donda West’s Surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams, Walks Off CNN’s Larry King Live
Dr. Jan Adams, who performed plastic surgery on Donda West one day before she died, walked out of CNN’s Larry King Live in the middle of a live interview Tuesday night.
“Basically, I had come here to talk about things in the press that are not accurate about me,” Adams told King. “But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family, and they’ve asked me not to go on.”
“Will you ever answer questions?” King asks.
“When they are comfortable, then I will be comfortable,” the surgeon said. “If they are never comfortable, then I will never be comfortable.
“That’s what’s important to me, I said that from the start, and that’s what I will continue to honor,” Adams said before removing his microphone, shaking King’s hand and walking off stage.
Adams anti-publicity stance is in stark contrast from a lengthy interview he gave yesterday to the L.A. Times.
The surgeon attributed West’s November 10 death to a heart attack, pulmonary embolism or accidental overdose of the painkiller, Vicodin — and said “nothing went wrong” when he performed a breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction on the 58-year-old.
“When she left this office, there was no problem whatsoever,” Adams told the Times.
