Montell Jordan Says Pastor Michael Todd Can Get Past Spit Moment

Pastor Michael Todd is the spitting image of a man who knows when he’s done wrong — which is why Montell Jordan‘s ready to forgive and forget his gnarly salivary moment.

We got the singer-turned-church leader at LAX and asked if Pastor Todd’s viral spit sesh from a couple of weeks back will hurt his ministry in the long run … and Montell tells us it won’t, with some solid rationale.

For starters, he says Todd’s made good with his congregation — not to mention the public at large — by owning up to what he did, and acknowledging it wasn’t cool. The fact Pastor Todd did this so quickly with a sincere apology goes a long way for MJ, and he thinks Todd’s parishioners will register it that way too.

Big picture … Montell says Todd’s humility flies in the face of what he says so many other people do these days … namely, doubling down on bad takes/behavior.

The mere act of fessing up to his mistake shows goodwill that Montell says he appreciates. Furthermore, he also (rightly) points out … the vast majority of the outrage from the face-wipe seen ’round the world was mostly spreading via social media … and by extension, a bunch of randos who don’t even know, follow or attend Todd’s services on the regular.
