Pat Roberston Diet Shake Leads to Alleged Death Threat

Pat Robertson’s “age-defying” weight loss shake may be more trouble than it’s worth. Phillip Busch, who is suing Robertson for exploiting his image to sell the product on his “700 Club” talk show, says the televangelist walked into court and told him, “I am going to kill you and your family.”

Though his lawyer denied the incident, this isn’t the first time Pat Robertson has been accused of threatening someone’s life.
