Dr Phil 'touched woman's breast during therapy'
MSN ^ | 10/8/09 | staff

Posted on 10/08/2009 8:23:02 AM PDT by pissant

US TV therapist Dr Phil is being sued by a woman who claims he tried to "brainwash" her by grabbing her left breast and forcing her to stare at a naked man.

Shirley Dieu has filed a suit in a Los Angeles court alleging that she was subjected to physical and emotional abuse when she went to see Dr Phil for therapy in 2007.

According to the suit, which was obtained by TMZ.com, Ms Dieu claims Dr Phil forced her to "be in the same room with a completely naked live man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all."

She also alleges he "touched her left breast during her therapy session", and refused to let her leave the building. Ms Dieu has not yet specified what damages she will be seeking from the popular TV host.

Was the naked man his buddy David Letterman?

Why the left breast as opposed to the right breast? Is there some science to this?

Really?

Are all you FReepers actually swallowing this allegation in one gulp?

A woman files a lawsuit, the LM prints a story, and you're all going to just rubber-stamp it as truth?

Wow.

I'm going to sit over here on the "innocent until proven guilty" side of the aisle.

"And why are most marriage counsellors divorced?"

For the same reason most TV and radio financial advisors are not living and lolling on the French Riviera.

A live man? As opposed to a dead corpse?

Well that is pretty kinky. (would have been kinkier with a completely naked dead man).

But I am a little confused. So there was a naked man in the room with this woman and Dr. Phil. So then Dr. Phil disrobes and exposes himself while grabbing the woman’s left breast.

Is that what that sentence means?

LOL! Good one!

The Doc was a mad TV Quack
Who touched more than his patient’s back
She’s gone to the press
To make him confess
To diddling things on her rack.

I guess Dr. Phil is a Freudian; everything is about sex.

I have to wonder what this woman was being treated for.

Dr. Phil's a boob so its fun to react to a story about him touching a boob.

We are not a jury. We have no power to convict and imprison. We have no power to award judgements to the accuser. We are under no obligation to observe a presumption of innocence.

We are anonymous knuckleheads on the internet having a laugh at a goofy moron on television.

That's what Al Gore invented the internet for.

This isn’t the first time. He lost his license to practice in TX I believe for having an inappropriate relationship with a female client in 1988.

I don’t think we are swallowing it. Just having fun with it, the way we would if it were a zot thread.

Sure, this is his life and livelihood. But you know, when you throw in with The Oprah, you gotta take into account the type of people in her audience who might believe in what you do and come to you for, er...”treatment”.

That’s all.
