More Controversy
Dr. Phil brings all kinds of people who need help on to his show. He has a very sharp mind and seems to be good at reading people, but not all the time. Back in April 2008, a producer on the Dr. Phil show secured bail for the ringleader of eight teenage girls, who violently beat another girl and recorded it all on videotape.

The show actually planned to cover the incident and dedicate a special one hour show to these poor girls. However, shortly after, news broke that Dr. Phil’s producer, of all people, was the one who posted bail for the teen. This didn’t look good for the show, and they immediately had to cancel their plans for the episode.
