Dr. Phil And His Crew Accused Of Getting Their Sexy On With Former Patient - Page 3
Dieu also says she was "brainwashed to trust her captures" and "programmed" to believe she was in a safe environment and receiving "real therapy from a licensed doctor."
According to the court documents, she says she suffered public ridicule and humiliation when she was subjected to edited tapings that "mislead the public" and warped her depicted personality.
As for the TV doctor, she claims that during an Oct. 9 therapy session with Dr. Phil, she "was touched on her left breast." She went on to say that she was afraid to say anything about it at the time, but that she was "touched improperly" by some of the other defendants (other than McGraw, she doesn't name names).
She claims the experience resulted in severe trauma and caused her to seek therapy—well, more therapy—and led to her hospitalization.
She is seeking unlimited general damages, punitive damages, exemplary damages, fees and court costs.
Now I am not a fan of Dr. Phil in ANY capacity.
First off, he is NOT a doctor. I find his voice very annoying, and I can not stand his "Dr. Phil-isms".
Like..."You are prettier than a speckled pup in a red wagon". (someone actually said that to me in Tennesee once... I almost married him)
Sorry Shirley...
I just can't picture Dr. Phil, "the chrome dome" sexually or mentally abusing anyone. And it makes me queasy just to think about it. *shudder*
I wonder if his wife Robin calls him "Quick Draw McGraw"?
*double shudder*
I digress...
So I think it is safe to say that Dr. Phil won't be spending any time in the pokey. I can be wrong though.
You never know. I was a bit shocked over the whole David Letterman scandal.
But if I am wrong... I will eat my hat. (note to self... buy a hat)
After Dr. Phil was made aware of Shirley's lovely lawsuit and he stopped laughing, (I can only assume) he had this comment:
"All of Shirley Rae Dieu’s claims are without merit. As with all of the occupants of the DR. PHIL House, Ms. Dieu participated voluntarily, having submitted her personal story with the hope that she could confront, and overcome, her individual issues."
I think that is a nice way of Dr. Phil telling Shirley to stick it wear the sun don't shine.
Perhaps Dr. Phil can offer Shirely some much needed counseling?
Oh snap!
