31. 28. Excuse me, #25, Mirror, Mirror, as stupid as you can be, I SAID HE WAS INVITED THE MEDIA SAID SO, And you are sticking your stupid opinion out here too, so stop be a dumb hypocrite. You obviously cant read, I SAID he was invited.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem is, Joe, he WASN'T invited by the one person who had a right to invite him and that's Britney. Secondly, Phil knows he is not licensed to practice so what was he going there for? Only one reason. Ratings for his show. I do not believe for one second he had any altruistic "I want to help Britney" reasons. It was for the show and for ratings. Since he has no license, there really can't be any other reason.

How's that working out for you, Dr. Phil?

32. At least Dr. Phil tried! Brit loves publicity, so its logical that she might have wanted to talk to Dr. Phil and get her side of the story out / explain her actions + appear on TV.
Quit slamming Dr. Phil. He did not say anything that everyone else did not already know. I don't see anyone else going out of their way to try to help her.

33. If he was sincere in wishing he hadn't made it public why does he keep making it public?

34. Dr. Phil is still talking.........Does he not realize that to fix a problem "you must first acknowledge your problem"

35. Also from Wikipedia:

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists imposed disciplinary sanctions on McGraw on January 27, 1989 for an inappropriate "dual relationship" reported in 1988 by a therapy client/employee from 1984. McGraw was ordered by the Board to take an ethics class, pass a jurisprudence exam, complete a physical evaluation, undergo a psychological evaluation and have his practice supervised for one year in order to continue his private practice in Texas. McGraw admits to giving the client a "job" at his office (which is not allowed), but denied carrying on a sexual relationship with the 19 year old, who says their relationship was "sexually inappropriate."[26][2][11] As of 2008, McGraw has not completed the conditions imposed by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists, and he is not licensed to practice psychology in Texas, California or anywhere else.

36. All you haters should be attacking Adnan, Brits new pap "friend", instead of Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil did nothing wrong but creepy Adnan is taking advantage of Brit to cash in on a big story. Adnan is a bad influence and Brit's enabler! You should all be directing your attacks on Adnan!

37. Dr. Phil..... I for one am so sick of this windbag. I hope someone sees sense and takes this guy off the air once and for all. His show only serves as a vehicle to sell his vacuous self-help books. This guy thinks way to highly of himself and needs to be taken down a peg or two.

38. lol, thanks wasted days.

39. The more I think about it... At least he TRIED to do something!

40. # 41 - Good info. The DIVORCED and sanctimonious Phil was married to "I have Chiclets for teeth" Robin and had two small children when he was sanctioned for having an affair with a 19-y.o. I knew that ugly, bald blowhard bushwhacked around. And he thinks Brittany needs an intervention?

41. Dr Phil is all about his ratings...........He got involved and ran his BIG mouth because he wanted to do a show with Britney and her family. His visit had nothing to do with compassion. RATINGS PEOPE!!!

42. 21. HEY Big MAN - learn the ropes. You don't go where you are not invited and then just blow the whole thing off. Learn to live BY THE RULES! You are NOT LICENSED to go parading around on TV like a REAL Dr. If you want that - then get your license back! Your judgement lacks living in the real world - with real peole - NOT the nut cases on the TV show.

'You don't go where you are not invited and...'

Enough said. Who can't read again???

43. Mirror Mirror - The GREAT Dr. Phil was NOT invited by BRIT! She is an adult - and Daddy had NO RIGHT to ask the fluff head to see her. SHE makes her OWN decisions. I'll bet there were a LOT of people he could have seen - but KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OVER WHAT HE THINKS! His opiions are NOT PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS ALSO A FREE BOARD - AND MY OPINIONS ARE MINE- SAME AS YOURS ARE YOURS. Get off the high horse.

44. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hey, if I was in a load of trouble, I'd be thrilled to have someone like Dr. Phil on my side helping me through and out of it.
Britney or Adnan or Lufti, not so much.

45. ....I'm laughing my head off....why is he reminding me of when Clinton stuck his arm out and shook it up and down telling us abt his deeds with Monica that he never did??...too funny!!...it's been hashed over a ziliion times...HAD he been sucessfull with Brit he would have used the situation on countless shows!!!!!!!!!!!!...it backfired and we'll never know...but it is clear from the start that he cared more abt servicing HIMSELF more than Britney...he was going to be yet another on a gravey train that keeps having to add coaches...I'm glad this one got derailed!
