Dr. Phil's Peeps to Bondsman: We Work for Him!

Dr. Phil's peeps who posted bail for the Florida girl charged in the videotaped beating were not hiding their affiliation with the show when they posted bail.
Dr Phil
Our sources say the production assistant (Mikey) who flaunted his "exclusive" with Mercades Nichols outside court, along with a female producer, went to the bail bondsman and made it clear they were representing the show. They posted $3,300 bail -- 10% of the total amount.

The show claims the producers exceeded their authority. We're guessing Mikey -- who makes around $800 a week -- didn't personally pay that kind of jack.

We've also learned the show did not post collateral for the entire $33,000 -- someone not connected with the show did that.

16. I cannot believe Dr. Phil would bail this thug out. She should still be in jail for what she and the others did to that girl. Next thing you hear about this girl is that she murdered someone all because she got off easy!

DR.PHIL......YOU ARE INSANE!!!

17. When you reward criminals, and make a mockery of our justice system, you OPEN THE DOOR FOR COPYCATS!

20. I think everyone should boycott the Dr Phil show until he pulls his head out of his a$$ and stops doing stupid stuff like this! As for the girls who wanna play rough, bring them to Iowa, we will show them what real tough girls are like!!

21. You only need to post 10% to get out usually so no one else paid - just Dr. Phil

23. In the Parade section of the Sunday paper yesterday it states Dr. Phil makes $90 million dollars and year. Some may think he is worth that kind of salary, I don't.

24. I have watched this on the news and Phil is passing the buck. He has the gall to tell others to stand up and take responsibility but does he? Hell no. Now he is blaming his staff...thank you again Oprah Winfrey for putting another blowhard out there for the American public. I used to admire winfrey but that was long ago...before she too became a blowhard expert on nothing. I love how she and Phil preach and tell the world what it is all about. Yet neither one of them have a clue. Surprised that Baldy Blowhard makes $90 million a year? Not me. Look who he works for...the Queen of the Blowhards. She is an absolute disgrace. A bald blowhard tells her what she wants to hear in Texas and suddenly he is the greatest thing she ever met. Hey if that is what she thinks, swell, but no she foists him on the public. I hope there is some way he can be sued. a young girl is beaten brutally....and because the ring leader can't make bail, he sends one of his staff to come to the rescue. Sorry but I agree that she needed to sit her sorry butt in jail. Find out how it feels to have her ass beat for no reason other than publicity. Phil, you and your adoring wife, your idiot son and his porno triplet wife and your mentor Oprah all need to get of the tube and mind your own damn business. You are all not worth one damn red cent, much less the $90 million Oprah pays your sorry ass.

25. Is Phil McGraw an oxymoron or just a moron to hire young irresponsible staffers (Mikey, etc.) Hey jerk, start hiring some experienced older workers. Workers who know better than to promote violence.

26. When is someone going to take this guy off tv?
When are people going to stop listening to every word and recommendation from Oprah? Don't forget that she gave us all Dr. Phil.
Stop watching him, stop listening to him, just walk away.
I have not watched his show nor do I intend to watch it.

27. If you watch the end credits, You'll see that the show is run by two production companys, one is Phil's, the other is Opra's so both hold equal power, she can't fire him.. But he dose have egg on his face, again..

29. If anyone on this planet has NOT seen the "Dr. Phil Show", he is always saying what a crackerjack ethical staff he has. Who in their right mind thinks this Production Assistant has $33K, let alone $3,300 to put up bail? It had to come from someone at the top. Either Dr. Phil or one of his Crackerjack or Ethical Staffers. What a piece of work. My thoughts and prayers to this young woman and her family. If they could get a piece of Dr. Phil that would be even better!!!! Come on folks--what a sad day. If I were Oprah, I would strongly encourage him to Step down, but then again, isn't she making $$ off him too? Domino effect. SAD--SAD. I say boycot that show!!! But then again, haven't watched in sometime anyway!!!!! Pull together and get him off the air. Let him and his family move into that stupid Dr. Phil house--disfunctional starts at home. How's that workin' for ya????
