Broke the rules of the show? Yes, I'm sure Dr. Phil and management was completely in the dark about this. These girls deserve to be in lockup.

Is Dr. Phil related to this gal? Other than a publicity stunt for his bottom line why would he get involved? Yes I have heard of Dr. Phil but I have not paid much attention to him.... I hear about him from a person I know that watches Oprah.

Typical of this guy to side with the criminals. I wonder if he bothered to send his condolences to the victim here?

Dr. Phil fits in really well with this bunch of little sluts. He is a manwhore for Oprah since she made him. What a joke. It looks like he may have actually changed his mind on this though.

If he’s changed his mind, he can always revoke the bond guarantee. No piano tied to his leg. IF it’s really a mistake.

This was mentioned on the news this morning. Showed a clip of one of the grandmothers saying that if this is true, the girls belong in jail. The father of one of the darlings said the charges were trumped up. Morons.

Dr. Phil should be in the lockup too. How many times has he violated the ethics of his profession for his TV show?

“...ethics of his profession for his TV show.” Wow! A triple oxymoron.

Corigliano explained that the show has previously helped other “guests and potential guests” of the show with different needs, but in this case “certain staff members” who were in the process of booking guests for the Dr. Phil McGraw show went a bit too far and broke the rules of the show.

So...
Dr. Phil generates grist for his talk show
by interfering with the judicial process

The gratitude from the “future guest” is
bought and paid for.

He’s not siding with them. He wants profit & ratings off them. He’s a media pimp.

There was one episode I watched years ago where this one womans daughter had lost some weight. The daughter was making fun of her mother who needed to lose some weight. And Dr. Phil was ok with that. That was the last episode I ever watched of that charlatan’s show.

Two justice systems?

High school girls beat up another girl - their bonds are $30,000 to $37,000.

An NFL player knocks an innocent man unconscious with one punch, flees the scene, then lies to the police - his bond is $1,000.

From the Sun-Sentinel.com:

“[Miami] Dolphins fullback Reagan Mauia was arrested in Weston [FL] early Friday on simple battery charges.....The police report states Mauia approached a man and his girlfriend in the parking lot just before midnight.....Mauia asked the man, Michael Gianatassio, 27, “what the [expletive] he was looking at,” the report states.....All of a sudden, Mauia punched Gianatassio in the face with a closed fist.....The victim was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, while Mauia drove away in a black Cadillac Escalade.....A witness used a cell phone to take a picture of the license plate and deputies tracked down Mauia at the address.....Once confronted, Mauia denied being at the sports bar, officials said.....Mauia, 23, was bonded out for $1,000 at 10:31 a.m. and faces a first-degree misdemeanor.”

Ask Brittany "stunt for his bottom line" Spears.
