Dr. Phil con

[Anonymous]

I just watched a Legal Eagle episode about Dr. Phil's bankruptcy court hijinks. I saw his TV show a handful of times (I'm a sucker for an avuncular man with a soft southern accent, I admit), I sort of knew about controversies about some of the shows he did, I knew he was or had become MAGA (I know he's not licensed, but I have trouble wrapping my brain around how someone can get a PhD in clinical psych and be MAGA). I did NOT know he's scored an invite to join an ICE raid (completely disgusting) but apparently he really irritated the bankruptcy judge plenty. I started wishing he would be enough of a con man to get prosecuted, but then I realized he'd be pardoned anyway. Sounds like the bankruptcy itself was a con--or, as Dr. Phil put it in an email he had deleted but which the other side managed to recover, a "gangster move."

Money, why isn't he licensed, its probably not surprising he is MAGA.

Wikipedia states he holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. Personally, I have not had the need for any psychological help, but find the fields of psychology, therapy, counseling to be very confusing and rarely clear cut.

My husband blames Oprah.... she brought some of these people on her show, made them famous- then they went publicly MAGA-nutso. Dr Phil, Dr Oz etc etc. I would love for her to clear her name or comment on this. No one can be responsible for every nut you come in contact with but damn.

Because she is pretty public with who and what she supports.

She distanced herself from Dr. Oz when he ran for the Senate. She openly said she did not support his politics and that she wished he would just focus on health.

What a bigoted, ignorant comment!

Dr Phil is still in the O network. Why has she not canceled his show by now?

Par for the course here. Whatever Dr. Phil's legal issues, it can't be denied that he has straightened out a lot of very disturbed individuals who came on his show with common sense solutions.

She is no longer the majority owner of the OWN network.

She is no longer the majority owner of the OWN network.

Also, if I remember correctly, CBS Media Ventures holds the main distribution control.

In 2011 he claimed apple juice had arsenic, so he was fear mongering even when he focused on health.
