I found this story on KTLA News.
This is going on in Los Angeles, where a woman went to get some therapy in 2007 from Dr. Phil. She claims "the TV host held her captive inside his production offices, forcing her to endure physical and emotional abuse." This was filed Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court. She is suing Dr. Phil, but the story does not say for how much. Dieu said Dr. Phil was trying to brainwash her, and forced her to "be in the same room with a completely naked live man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all." Dieu said she tried to escape but "was blocked by the staff to prevent her from leaving."
My first reaction from this story was when I read the title, "Woman Claims She was Held Captive, Groped by Dr. Phil," I thought it was someone trying to get attention. My same reaction continued as I read how crazy the story was.
First off, there are so many people out there that will sue for anything. People just want attention, just want to be on TV, or just want to be rich. So if they find "anything" to sue for, they do. I can't believe some of the things that people sue for that shouldn't even be sued for. Such as someone suing because they got cancer from cigarettes....hello....if they didn't know they could possible get cancer from cigarettes; then what did they expect? I remember a couple years ago, there was, on a Mac n Cheese box, a picture and directions on how to eat it. Yes, it said, place on fork, insert into mouth, chew, swallow. It's sad that companies have to put stupid stuff like that on the boxes of their products because people are waiting for a reason to sue. Not sure exactly what happened in this story, but I guess we'll never know. This woman may have actually had something happen to her from Dr. Phil. Some celebrity's thing they can get away with anything and everything. Maybe Dr. Phil thought he could get away with this, because he's famous, and/or has money. But I guess not. But I truly believe that probably about 75+ lawsuits that involve famous people are just scams to get non-famous people some extra money.
It's sad, but true. People will do whatever they can get away with just to get what they want. It's sad that famous people think they can get away with everything because of "who they are," or the money they have. And it's also sad that the average Joe tries so hard to be rich. But we're all in the wrong. Nothing will ever be like it was in the olden days. Guess we'll have to except the stupid stuff that goes on around us, and just sit back and laugh.

This is the first time I heard about this incident. I do not know what is going on but something is up. I heard that Dr. Phill is loosing one of the major markets to Dr. Oz. I know that if TV is giving up a cash cow something has to be up.
