[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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 ([b]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).[/b] 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." [/quote]

What a bigoted, ignorant comment![/quote]

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.[/quote]

There is no proof any of this is true. His shows are full of a lot of fake acting. His show made it seem he could fix people/dysfunctional families with one show and occassionally some follow up but that's a load of bs. [/quote]

Hmm.  Where's your proof that his shows are "full of a lot of fake acting"?  We'll wait.[/quote]

NP: the end of every show has a disclaimer stating the show is for entertainment purposes, not for professional counseling or therapy - as the credits are rolling. It’s like thinking Judge Judy is really acting like a judge.[/quote]

I think she actually is! We were recruited to be on her show and it would have been a binding decision IIRC. We didn’t do it.[/quote]

You have to consent to her essentially doing binding arbitration while pretending to be a judge. So it’s real… but it’s also not.[/quote]
