Dr. Dorfman the Last to Know -- What a Bitch!

Posted Jul 11th 2007 12:17PM by TMZ Staff

Exclusive When TMZ reported the split between celebrity dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman and his former "Apprentice" wife Jennifer Murphy, we just assumed the Dr. was aware that the divorce was going down. Uh- think again. Apparently Mrs. Dorfman forgot to clue him in. TMZ ended up telling him. Ouch!

When TMZ contacted Dr. Dorfman's office yesterday for comment, the person on the other end of the phone said she didn't know anything about it. Dr. Dorfman immediately called TMZ back, saying "Your source is wrong! My wife did not file for divorce." But TMZ knew differently, because we had the papers. Dorfman couldn't believe it. "She filed?" he asked, and, obviously upset, got off the phone quickly.

A source tells TMZ that Murphy didn't realize the papers would be made public immediately. Hello? According to our source, the Dorfmans were supposed to meet Tuesday night to talk about things. We're told Murphy feels terrible that he had to find out from TMZ that his marriage was over, but he knew it was coming.

Too bad for Dorfman, TMZ got to him first. Can you say blessing in disguise?

4. Are you Kidding me. This guy must be a real Loser. I guess with a name like "Dorfman" what else would you expect. I'm sorry, the only thing dumber would be the person that calls themselves his patient.

5. I know you're trying to toot your own horn about how much of an impact that you think you have but I don't fnd this story really needed to be in the "public" eye. A marriage is a compicated thing of beauty and when it is coming apart, the humiliation of a spouse not knowing (or being perceived to not know) of the demise should not be a public spectacle. For shame TMZ, you should have taken the high road and kept mum. P.S., who the heck are these folks anway?

11. What a bitch. Dr Dorfman, you are well rid of this woman. You're so handsome and you seem like a nice guy, albeit a little bit left in the dark, you will have no problem replacing her. Hope you didn't cheat on her or anything like that, tho...
As far as Dumptruck Trump's taste in women? He has none. This ex Apprentice Jennifer Murphy has a fat chipmunk face, and not very memorable since I don't even remember her on "The Apprentice."

Sorry Dr Dorfman, no one scoops TMZ!

12. First Candi Spelling uses TMZ to "communicate" to people, and now TMZ has become the 'place' to break-up without actually having to say a word to your spouse!

14. What a HAG! She may be pretty on the outside, but we all can see that she's ROTTEN on the inside. Single men BEWARE!!

15. Dr Dorfman is NO loser, he's a high profile dentist often seen on Extreme Makeovers. On the other hand is wife was on the Apprentice and was a snooty biyatch who thought she was the "It Girl". I feel bad for Dr. D and the way he had to find out, they were only wed last year in a lavish wedding. Dr. D she did you a giant favor, someone like her will do anything to scratch their way to the top.
