Celebrity Justice
Dr. Phil & Mrs. Phil Creamed in Skin Care Lawsuit

Dr PhilDr. Phil has been roped into a $4 million lawsuit -- and it's all over a promise his wife allegedly made to feature some skin care products on her hubby's TV show.

According to a lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Phil's wife Robin promised the Miracle Hydrate skin company that she had enough juice to get Phil to feature their creams and lotions on "The Dr. Phil Show."

The skin company claims they were so fired up about the "promise," they spent $650,000 gearing up for the wave of sales they expected to follow.

Of course, the products were never featured on the show, and the skin care company is pissed -- demanding millions of dollars in lost profits.

Calls to The Doc and his wife have not yet been returned.

17. Phil is a PIG.

He is now "helping" the octo-mom by premoting fundraisers and free merchandise and services for her. No doubt we will be seeing more of Octo on Phil's show. I'd love to hear how much PHil is paying her for her future visits to his show.

What does he think is going to happen to those 14 children 5 years from now?? Or how about when they are a group of 14 teenagers?? Is he prepared to support Octo and her 14 kids for the next 18 years? If his concern was honestly for the children he wouldn't be delaying the inevitable - that the children are all removed from their sick mother. The older the children are, the harder it will be for them to adjust.

18. Unless Robin was paid?
The Miracle Hydrate skin company will need a miracle to win.
Robin is not a TV celebrity. Now if Dr. Phil said, he would let them advertise on
his show for free. Then we would have a lawsuit.
Maybe his son can promote the skincare products on the doctors show.
Its one big TV commercial sellout anyways.

21. If I said it one time I said it lots of times....Dr. Phil is the one who paid for Octomom's new home & is also having a baby shower for her & her litter. And I'll bet that was the "last straw" for Robin! She probably said if you can buy this crazy-whore & her entire orphanage a house then you BETTER PAY UP FOR WHAT YOU PROMISED TO DO FOR ME!! How much do you wanna bet that in the very near future, Dr. Phil will be asking his fancy dr plastic surgon, friends to "DONATE" plastic /cosmetic surgery. My daughter is having a baby in 8 weeks, she has a husband who works very hard & still they are on a very tight budget......DR. PHIL THROW A BABY SHOWER FOR MY DAUGHTER & HER NEW BABY.....GIVE HER A NEW NURSERY FOR HER NEW SON!!! Keep putting your &&& where your mouth is & ACTUALLY HELP A FAMILY WHO WILL REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!! We won't be waiting for any calls from you or your producers.....since there is NO Publicity for you or your crappy show....I have lost complete RESPECT FOR YOU!!!

23. All of these money hungry, self-promoting faux-doctors and experts need to be banished from the media

24. What is this woman doing trying to promote creams? It's obvious her old saggy face had plastic surgery! No-one looks that stretched naturally. And to think she was trying to get people to embrace aging gracefully & without plastic surgery. She's a fraud.

25. DR PHIL AND WIFE ARE ARROGANT PIGS. PROOF THIS IS SO. THEY RENEGED ON LEGIT PROMISES CAUSE THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN WASN'T PRICEY $$$ ENOUGH.

26. Gawd. I suppose next week Octo will be on his show, rubbing Miracle Hydrate on her flabby gut. I think I'll throw my TV out so I don't click on Dr. Phil by accident.

27. Sounds like a job for OctoMom...perhaps she could feature their creams and lotions on her new reality show and in doing so pull Dr. Phils nuts out of the fire, I mean what the hell, one good deed deserves another...LMAO!!!!!

28. Dr.Phil should just stop interviewing the octo-mom,obviously he is not doing a good job since he's not getting through to her.,she seems mentally unstable. And, about the skin care company sueing Robin they need to go find a real lawyer because the one they currently have is not doing a jod since they think they have a chance on winning the case without anything in writting.

29. who says miracle hydrate doesnt have anything in writing? no one knows anything yet i say go for it with all power because theyve got a good shot at it if they have anything AT ALL that says they were supposed to be on the show
i think this is a bunch of bs on robin and dr phils part, maybe they should start to do what they preach and stop screwing around i hope they squeez him for anything hes worth

30. Did you see how Dr. Phil got real close to Octomom and touched her, he was extremely close, maybe he has the hots for her,
I agree that he is doing too much for her, she got herself in the mess and he is expecting everyone to bail her out!

What up with the IRS? For example you always hear about the game show contestant who wins a car and furniture then later sells it because they have to pay the taxes on it, what kind of bullcrap is going on? Why does Octomom get a pass on taxes, why does the Octomom have a house while we are left with the medical bills? Why does she not pay nack the taxpayers before she gets everything?

And the bullcrap remark that she "Earned it" what job, the coochie patrol?
