Remember when Britney Spears had her first breakdown and dr. Phil volunteered to help her and then he told the tabloids about it? Yeah. His current actions line up.
Been hating that bastard for decades.
Dr. Phil is a really good example of the wider societal problem in the USA that created Trump. The fact that this man was allowed to have a prime-time TV show on mainstream network, instead of being universally shunned, was clear proof there was something deeply wrong with this country pre-2015.
This man's initial wealth came from running a membership scheme at a Spa; he then surrendered his license because he refuses to follow "Continuing Education" courses and follow ethics guidelines, so he could focus on his show of humiliating and mocking traumatized and mentally disabled kids; then trafficking them to plantations, on which he was involved with a reality TV show. Dr. Phil is a sick monster of a man, and by all means deserves everything horrible that happens to him; if not for being an ICE Nazi, then for abusing more kids than states' loudest pro-Trump pastors.

Oprah?
Oprah is like the Ronald Reagan of talk shows. She gave a platform to multiple destructive people that have continued to haunt us far after they launched on her show. Dr. Oz. Dr. Phil. Jenny McCarthy, John of God, etc.
What pre-2015?
I'm talking 90's.
I was young but already shocked to see his trash show where he spouts backwards conservative morals on European TV channels.
That has nothing to do with Trump, more with what the US is.
AndI blame your fascist-lite D party just the same for the situation you are now in.
Al they did was go back half a step after 5 further to the right by R.
And this intentionally since their leaders work for the same masters.
And I blame the dumb population for letting it happen.
They get what they deserve.
All good since it hastens the already rapid decline of US imperialism and scumbaggery
Totally agree about the USA and Democrats. Dr. Phil is that inhuman "Third Line", hating people in what Democrats and Republicans alike saw as the "right" ways. He's the worst type of monster, because he preys on the most vulnerable under the guise of "morality"; using his technically-valid title and the fame and money he has to exploit more kids for more fame and money.
It didn't start in the "90s". This is the way ~~the USA~~ - hell, Western Catholic civilization - has always been. Dr. Phil embodies the head of a "crisis pregnancy" center that guilt-trips a young woman seeking abortion; the leader of the gay-erasure teen retreat; the priest that tells a young boy to keep quiet; the hospital doctor that holds an unwilling patient under a "protection" law; the Karen who requests a "wellness check" on their neighbors of color; the prison medic who sterilizes an unconscious indigenous woman; the suburban moms shrieking "For The Children"; the dentist signing their patients up for a "Care Credit" card while they're under anesthesia. Cruelty under the guise of kindness; wiping its hands clean on the letter of the law.
That’s wonderful.
This guy doesn’t know that most of the activity online from MAGA are bots? He legit thought there were millions of people trying listen to his shenanigans. He needs to pay homage in order for Putin to boost his numbers.
Just look at his face and you can tell he's been through multiple total collapses
I'm shocked a man who exploited people going through crises decided to align with trump
Fuck that fake ass grifter motherfucker, piece of shit.
Doc Phil was popular and well-liked once. He's gonna chase that feel forever, even if he has to burn the world down to find it again. What a maroon.
This is not a good guy who strayed from the path, he's always been a piece of shit
There seem to be quite a lot of rich idiots out there who think they're going to get a seat at the table because they openly proclaim support for the king. There are only so many keys, and they were handed out long ago. If you're not rich enough to fund them directly, they're not going to give you the time of day.
He can always lean into his doctor status.... Oh Wait!
Good news: Nazi cheerleader goes out of business
Bad news: It's because there's so many Nazi cheerleaders in 2025 that they saturated their market, and (per the article) he failed for not being Nazi enough
This fucking guy is still around?
Looking younger everyday somehow
Truly the best Dr Phil, after Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince. Wait, he was a doctor, right?
I assume he had a JD, yeah
Jelly donut? Jealous.
Paying for that Mar a Lago face.
TIL he is still around. Hadn't heard anything about Dr. Phil in a decade or more
Oprah is responsible for doing so much damage.
yep she spread so much misinformation even before she gave those two quacks airtime. She's basically the female version of Joe Rogan
she gave those two quacks airtime
Don't forget the other quack "psychic surgeon" she did a segment on who turned out to be a serial rapist.
And antivax Jenny McCarthy

There is probably a pasture where Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell, and all the other (literal) losers roam. Dr. Phil can join them there!
Good. Carry on.
He's not a doctor, they took that away.
Also, I think I hear the world's smallest violin playing a mournful tune just for him.
They took that away because he fucked a teenage patient. College kid came to him for depression, he gave her a job and had sex with her.
They were going to supervise his practice and let him keep his license, but he gave it up rather than submit to supervision.
There are a couple of stories of addicts on his show being offered drugs before they went on to make them relapse/seem worse. The show was basically an exploitation of people desperate enough to take public humiliation in exchange for mental health “help.”
I think he’s in part responsible for a lot of terrible attitudes about mental health - a popular understanding that “tough love” is a helpful approach, a refusal to acknowledge the impact of trauma… A general problem with America seems to be viewing TV show personalities as “experts.”

Undeterred, McGraw quickly launched Envoy Media Company with Steve Harvey
The clown show carries on.
I hope this exploiting narcissist ends up homeless & destitute.
