everyone just calm down. We do NOT know the real story behind Dr. Phil visiting Brit in the hospital last week. It’s all media hype — orchestrated by her family. Dr. Phil has too much to lose to do something as stupid as is being reported by the media and from the “family spokesperson”.
Dysfunctional families are just that — dysfunctional and screwed up — and we may never know exactly what they said or didn’t say to Dr. Phil, that precipitated his arrival at that hospital. They would do anything for attention, including blaming Dr. Phil for something THEY set in motion.
This girl is screwed up royally, and she is going to end up DEAD in some sad accidental SOMETHING if someone doesn’t intervene quick in her life. Thank God the courts took her children away from her. At least they’re being protected somewhat from her hysteria. Bipolar or not (which I think is definitely possible — i have a sister who is, and who acts exactly like Brit), she needs serious help and compassion, not more negative attention.
It’s just sad...the whole thing.
If Dr. Phil were being at all proper in handling this, we shouldn’t be hearing any story at all. Apparently the only reason we’re hearing about it is because he wanted to have the intervention be a public, ongoing thing for him to exploit on his TV show. He had programs blocked out for the therapy and everything, so now he has to go dig up other sad cases.
