Dr. Phil to talk about Britney Spears Controversy
Last week (Jan. 17) MTV was reporting that Dr. Phil was facing charges for practicing psychology without a license and for breaking doctor-patient confidentiality rules by talking with the media about the former reality TV/pop diva’s situation.
According to his Web site, Dr. Phil is ready to talk to the public about the “rumors” and is ready to set the record straight. The video preview for Monday’s (Jan 21) show has the host “Delivering the Facts” and claims we will “hear the truth.”
In an interview with USA Today, the “Dr.” told the paper and a audience during the taping of Monday’s show, “I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn’t make any statement at all. Period.” Later in the interview the paper is reporting that McGraw went to see the reality TV/pop diva as “a friend and ally of the family.” potentially dispelling the concerns being raised regarding his practicing psychology without a license.
Should Dr. Phil have gone to help Britney? Can anyone help Britney? Does Dr. Phil give good advice?
Thoughts anyone?
