Dr Phil Did What?

I didn't quite believe it till I read it. What is Dr Phil thinking? I always liked Dr. Phil and had respect for him. But I heard someone talking about his show bailing out one of the girls that was involved in the U Tube beating and I heard some others make the comment that Dr. Phil is turning into Jerry Springer.

What do you think?

Dr. Phil was divorced once. He beat his ex-wife. True story- look it up!

Yeah, I have never really cared for Dr. Phil. Just felt that he had a hand out from Oprah and he was "ok" for a while but I can not stand him. I believe he isn't perfect nor right...he is human!! Look at our world....people do a lot worse...so hey...it's terrible but wouldn't put anything past anyone these days!!

DR. Phil is not even a doctor. Check it out it's true. One of his staff bailed her out to be on his show. Then other people found out about it and they would not put her on.

He invited this scumbag on his show knowing what the guy was about then kicks him off just to make himself look good.

I don't think much gets past Dc Phil as to what his staffers are doing. He just knows how to point fingers. After all why werent the staffers fired for spending 33,000 dollars of the shows money? As far as this video, he knew what the tape was going to show! America needs to see he is ratings hungry.

One of the staffers was a veteran producer and the other was a young personal assistant. I know that p.a. couldn't have $3000 to throw away on some girl he doesn't know. The dude is still getting through college. A family member of mine use to work for Dr. Phil. They said he was arrogant and miserable to work for. He is an ego maniac. I think he did send them or his producer had the idea. He wants ratings and he is now willing to stoop to the lowest levels to get there. Once they were exposed for bailing them out, they called it off. Had it not come out, those girls would be on the show this week. We saw this with Britney and now this. He's a fraud.

GUYS, they're ALL about ratings. LOOK even the local news shows. For instance, channel 5 is always saying, 'we were the only one @ the scene.' Or 'you onlysee it here on 5.' Or like that reporter that says, you won't believe the next story. Doc Phil and many other hosts of thier own shows will go to great lengths to get the story of the century. I saw his show once and I can't abide him. the only news and information shows that you really know your going to get the truth is Fox News (national) and I believe Fox4 as well. Dr. Phil has lost respect of many. He definately is a fraud.

He is the next Jerry Springer. He knew exactly what his staff was doing. He either didn't think they would get caught or that people would be so interested in hearing him interview this person that it wouldn't matter.

Do you think Oprah is all sweet and nice like she appears on tv? Hell no. She gets all the attention for "Oprahs favorite things" like she buys the crap from her own pocket, they are corporate give aways.

Dr. Phil IS a Doctor. He holds a Ph.D. However he is not licensed to practice psychology in any state in America. That is why he does not council patients directly he sends them elsewhere. His license in both Texas and Illinois has been suspended.

I doubt this was about him. On a show like his it is controled by the producer. This was an bright idea of a producer who authorized the bail out. When Phil got nailed in the press he probably was told and thus ended it. Dont think the talking head has all the control on a show

Dr Phil is NOT a doctor. But, this is the same man who "met" with Brittany Spears after she was hospitalized for mental problems, and then talked about it to the press.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that what he did is a breach of confidence. Her family was understandable upset with him .. he abused his position for publicity's sake. I am not a fan of hers, but I think what he did was horrible.

Why is anyone surprised? I am not.That incident alone should tell people what he is.
Jerry Springer, at least, doesn't exploit TRUE situations ... (come on, you really think that stuff is real day after day?) It's mostly made up.

I don't know why Mr McGraw hasn't been sued for misleading people ... Wake up and stop watching him!

Dr. Phil is one of the worst self-promoters who preys on people's emotions. He wouldn't even have a place in society if it hadn't been for Oprah and I can't stand that heifer either. Any one with a little common sense could figure out for themselves what he tells them to do. Thats half the problem with the people in this country, they have lost their common sense and rely upon therapists to tell them what to do. Just remember, therapist = the rapist.
