Is Dr Phil getting a divorce?
Talk about illusion shattered. Now, don’t get me wrong, lots of people have divorces. However, most of us don’t have a talk show and give this picture perfect scenario of married life. I applaud the fact that he promotes a healthy family life and a healthy marriage but perhaps it isn’t easy as all that?
When I’m not away from work, I will catch the Dr. Phil show on the odd occasion. The marriage counseling shows have never been that informative for me. And I’m sorry, but if the Dr. Phil divorce rumor is true then he’s a big fraud. Dr. Phil always teases you about how he’s going to come back with some solutions after the commercial but the the recommendations is just fluff. And then he offers to do follow-up marriage counselings. I wonder how much of a string is attached to come back on the show and rehash for ratings. I also wonder how many update shows they’ve had to cancel due to the fact that there’s no way to salvage the marriage and the couple is now heading to divorce court and instead of calling Dr. Phil production, they now need to call a divorce laywer.
And speaking of ratings, what about that Britney Spears fiasco when he offered family counseling for her too and promoted that he was going to do a special with Britney on his show. Talk about jumping on the gravy train. That took a tremendous hit on his credibility when I found it waning in the first place. If the Dr. Phil divorce is true and skeletons come out of the closet as most of these celebrity marries often disclose, Dr. Phil will have a lot of explaining to do. Maybe he should have a marriage counseling special on himself - either that how to find a good divorce lawyer.
