Army to Dr. Laura's Son -- Did You Really Write That?!

Posted May 31st 2007 10:40AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that the US Army is investigating whether the son of holier-than-thou talk show host Dr. Laura created an unbelievably graphic and offensive MySpace page including scenes of rape, torture and child molestation.

A MySpace page allegedly created by and containing a trove of photos of what appeared to be Deryk Schlessinger, Dr. Laura's 21-year-old son who is serving as a Specialist with the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan with the US Army, was pulled from the popular file-sharing site last week, as the Salt Lake Tribune first reported. We're told by an Army rep that it contained cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation, not to mention photos of soldiers with guns in their mouths -- among other scenes, and a picture of a blindfolded prisoner with the caption "My Sweet Little Habib." Lt. Col. Robert Tallman of the Army called the MySpace page "disturbing."

What's more, one blog entry on the site read, in part, "I LOVE MY JOB, it takes everything reckless and deviant and heathenistic and just overall bad about me and hyper focuses these traits into my job of running around this horrid place doing nasty things to people that deserve it ... and some that don't."

Lt. Col.Tallman tells TMZ that the Schlessinger investigation is "ongoing" and that Deryk is still on active duty. Deryk didn't respond to a request for comment by the Tribune, and Dr. Laura's rep suggested that the MySpace page could be a fake.

2. Didnt she let her mother die alone and mumify before authorities could find her? She gives advice as a hyocrite and her PhD is in Archeology or something. She isnt even a licensed therapist! What a fraud and a typical....(i cant say it. I cant be a Don Imus)

5. I hope that guy is doing okay. I have worried about him since he was a little kid. His mother scares me.

7. My sweet little Habib means my sweet male lover.

It is in the male gender.

Habiba is in the female gender

8. I am a Dr. Laura fan, but I actually kinda BELIEVE her son did this.. .

I believe the "hyperfocusing" comment he made (the concept of taking your bad impulses, energy, emotions, and channeling them into something "positive") is one of Dr. Laura's major philosophies.

What lends credibility is that Deryk's comment shows an internalization of that concept, not blithe repetition of Dr. Laura's words/mantra. If it is a fake, it's from a very smart faker.

By the way, his real name isn't Deryk.

9. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She is an abhorent barbed tongue sorry excuse of a woman. Her son has probably learned all his hate from her. What kind of name is Deryk anyway? What happened to spelling the name the way that it ought to be spelled. People who have these dumb names based on terrible spelling always seem to be pooly adjusted adults. Dr. Laura of course will probably brush this off but if it had been any of her call in guests she would have torn them to shreds.

10. Odd. 'If' he put up this page he needs serious help. One thing though I've noticed -the young crowd often use extreme speech on the internet, as if it doesn't count, or as if they don't need to censor their thoughts and show common sense. It's as if they splay out the worst in them for all to see because it's not real if it's on the net.

13. Hopefully it's a fake. But just from looking at his picture, I think he looks a little crazy!

14. Sounds like Dr. Laura'a son needs a timeout in the brig to consider his actions! It's not suprising to me that the child of someone who dispenses "advice" is so maladjusted. For heaven's sake, don't let this man become a cop. He'll make the Rodney Kind incident look like a walk in the park. Sick puppy!

15. Dr Laura's mom was found dead a few years ago, decomposing in her LA apartment.

Rumor has it Dr Laura had not spoken to her mom in 20 years.

Disfunctional family??
