Dr. Phil 'betrayed' Britney's parents
![]()
Britney Spears’ parents Lynne and Jamie Spears are furious with Dr. Phil. Apparently Dr. Phil first contacted them about doing a show with Britney. When they said “no,” he initiated contact with her anyway then rode the press wave causing the Spears to feel “betrayed.” TMZ reports:
Spears family rep Lou Taylor told Meredith Vieira on the "Today" show that Dr. Phil actually broached the subject of doing a show about Britney, but that they nixed the idea, only to have Phil try to set up the show anyway. Taylor scorched Phil, saying it was even "inappropriate" for Phil to bring up doing a show, and that the family thought it would be detrimental to Britney.
The real reason Britney’s parents are pissed is because they thought Oprah was coming. Instead they got Dr. Phil. That’s incredibly weak. Nobody wants to be on Dr. Phil instead of Oprah – including Dr. Phil. He shows up for work in the morning and goes, “Dammit! I’m on my show again. I bet Oprah’s handing out pirate ships today too. Man…”

It seems Britney needs love more than anything else! Her profile was found on lesbian dating site http://FemMate.com last month! I think those single moms can help her a lot!

He is bachelor again. Girls who like him should be aware of this. A young lady said she saw
his photo on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named "SearchingM illionaire. com"last night.

Dr Phil is a self-aggrandizing, publicity seeking, windbag. Pity she didn't have her Beretta when he showed up. Jackass.
12. null - January 9, 2008 11:02 AM
this guy is the epitome of sleaze. lying his way through this britney mess for a second or two of air-time! in other words, scraping the bottom of the barrel for fool's gold. of all the sleazebags reported on at the superficial, "dr." phil beats them all as the sleaziest.

Since when has Lynne Spears ever done anything that was in the best interest of either of her daughters?
14. blahhhhhhhhhhh - January 9, 2008 11:07 AM
look at those teeth! I wonder how much he paid for them?
Now he should invest in fixing that schnowzer of his

17. Auntie Kryst - January 9, 2008 11:09 AM
@13 I got to agree. I'm certain if they did say no it was because of a breakdown in contract negotiations. Dr. Phil didn't come up with the right dollar amount to get the family on the show. Fucking whores the lot of them.
18. Giggles - January 9, 2008 11:10 AM
How many publicity whores can there possibly be in this SOON-TO-END-WITH-SOMEONE'S-DEATH saga?
19. mrs.t - January 9, 2008 11:12 AM
Big deal. Dr. Phil was 'betrayed' by Rogaine. He tries to front like he's O.K. with the chrome dome, but he's dying inside. Try this: hold your hand over the top of his head (or whatever fuzz/hair/dust ball you have handy). VOILA! Meet Mr. Tom Selleck. That's what's killing him-he's got the moustache ready at all times, but the damn hair just won't grow back.
20. Doomhammer - January 9, 2008 11:12 AM
Im telling you people right now, all of these Hollywood headcases should be mustard gased and buried in mass graves. Jeez what a bunch of head cases.
21. poohead - January 9, 2008 11:14 AM
I heard he has a profile on self-aggrandizingpublicityseekingwindbag.com. Does anyone know if it is true?
I believe he also has a profile on femmate.com!!
22. mrs.t - January 9, 2008 11:16 AM
Ummm..how does one "report" the promotional/advert posts? Where the fuck is Edna when you need her? Perhaps we could invoke her with some of the usual taunts: 'cunt' always seemed to piss her off. How about cunt-licking motherfucker?
Once she arrives she can put us in direct contact with the authorities.
23. Dentist - January 9, 2008 11:17 AM
Looks like he's got some gum irritation. Gingivitis or something. Should have that looked at, Phil.
24. Chezir - January 9, 2008 11:21 AM
OH PUH-LEEZE!! Just another shameless attempt by Lynne Spears to point the blame on someone else and I'm sure their "exclusive" comments are probably paid for again by that money grubbing, publicity-seeking so-called mother of Britney. They freakin CALLED Dr. Phil and asked for his help! He's a freakin tv head doctor and they asked him to go to the hospital - what the F did they expect?!! They act like they've never met the man and supposedly Lynne and Dr. Phil's wives are like good friends. The Spears family has no accountability for their actions at all and we wonder where Batshit Brit Crazy and Batshit Stupid Jamie Lynn Junior got it? I'm shaking my head at these losers. Why won't they just go away? WHY?

Oh, that's funny. I JUST watched that episode. And, fish is not entirely right. They DID ask Dr. Phil to help, but they did NOT want to make it a show..
29. MindRiot - January 9, 2008 11:33 AM
I dont buy it. I bet the family was trying to make ANOTHER BUCK off their eldest skank and once the public backlash happened they retreated in an attempt to save face. Fuck the whole jacked up hillbilly spears clan.

The legions of Sexually-frustrated, dimwitted-unattractive-hypocontriatic housewives have empowered Phil McGraw to become the arrogant doushe he is today. I'm not saying that Phil hasn't always been a trashbag -- wait, Phillip's more of a toilet, rather trashbag, full of shit -- he's a toilet with Oprah's audience now which is terrifying. Hoard weapons, they're out there.
McGraw's audience are the same people that vote republican, yet work the most soul murdering menial jobs, for the lowest wages, while simultaneously being shit on by the same people that they were manipulated in to voting for because, after hearing the word 'god' a few hundred times, how could they not vote republican (?!); and you know that living a meaningless life will find you great bliss in the afterlife. God just loves a sucker.
'Dr.' Phillip? Please die.
P.S. Great dentures, man!

Hey Femme Dating Ally:
Hi there, I'm a loser with no life. I'm paid $3.50 per hour to post idiotic drivel, directing you to some lame dating website that takes your money and gives you nothing in return. I have no job, so I sit around all day and post this garbage on as many websites as I can under many different aliases. I don't have any friends, so I must rely on these moronic posts to make myself feel better about myself. My mother hates me and dropped me on my head as a child. You can find me at I'mAnIdiotTrollWithNoLifeAndShouldBeKilled.com
I heard Jamie Lynn Spears met her older man, I mean match, at this site.

D. Richards, your comments are annyoing. Are you employed? How do you have time to leave comments on this website all day? And what's the deal with the bizarre parenthetical references? "Hands"? "Saint"? Wtf? May I direct you to another site? It's called Monster.com.

This sound like how he got on Oprah's Beef case. Apparently he made a cold call/visit to her offices. When the receptionist wouldn't let him see her he said something to the effect of It's not me facing jail time. Then they let him in to see her. I believe I saw that on either her program or an interview.
36. Gadeval - January 9, 2008 11:43 AM
The only one that can help britney is herself. She needs to stop being so selfish and think of others. She reminds me of a little child who has it in her head that its about what she wants when she wants it. Then again if there was actually a decent understanding person out there to teach her this, that be good too, but all these people around her such as her mother, dr. phil, paparazzi lover etc are there to leech off her.

#34? How is it that you have time to respond to me? Do you have a job? How is it that you know about me? Are you reading the comments every couple of minutes? And who are you to question me? Who am I to explain? Who am I? - Heavy.
I'm joking you, of-course I'm not employed: two reasons; One, court ordered house arrest; Two, Dick works for no man.
Agh, yes. And maybe I could direct you to a few sites as well, 'UpMyAss.com', 'MyGirlfriendsMomma.com', and, my favorite, 'GoFuckYourself.net'..
'Hands', well, lets just say they're big tools.

#46? Okay, you say you're a member of 'mensa', but, you can't distingish between sincerity, and sarcasm; huhm, interesting. You believe everything you read. That's rad, man!
And, agh, if that was your first entry in to this website, why aren't you calling other people out? There must be something about ol' Dick that makes you angry.
Ladies, Gentlemen, I believe we have ourselves a liar.
49. gotmilk? - January 9, 2008 1:07 PM

Also, you mention my 'parenthetical references' as more than one, which leads a person to believe that you've been to this site more than you're pretending.
You also pluralized the word 'comments'. What gives, handsome?
It's okay if you enjoy reading, and posting comments on this site. It's fun.
51. maximus - January 9, 2008 1:10 PM
Calling Dr. Phuckup was the real betrayal of trust. What kind of backwards hick would put any faith in that idiotic quack? Oh wait. The Spears.
52. RichPort - January 9, 2008 1:21 PM
#46 - Seriously, I thought the monster.com comment was witty until you brought out that idiotic mantra of liars everywhere "I am a Ph.D. student in Finance, and I am a Mensa member." Seriously dude, the Mensa folks may wanna reconsider the membership of anyone who picks fights on celebriot forums. Yea, and I have a huge cock and forced a chokingly spitty blowjob on your mom... actually, that second part is true. You've obviously taken the time to analyze (very Mensa of you, by the way) comments and writing styles here. Shouldn't you be out joining a liberal focus group somewhere?
53. p0nk - January 9, 2008 1:22 PM
would somebody please do some investigative reporting and find out what kind of deal Lynn Spears brokered with Dr. Phil in whoring out Britney for him to use in his show. Personally, i'm holding out until she's on Springer.
54. superamn - January 9, 2008 1:33 PM
Britney is still hot in my mind! I am expecting her new music video. She looks so hot in that pictures. BTW, have u guys seen her on a millionaire site 'Meet Rich,com'? I heard of this around some famous gossip sites.
55. xhot - January 9, 2008 1:44 PM
I think both the Spears family and Dr. Phil should share the blame. Obviously both are in the public eye. They should have been upfront about it and said this is confidential and everything is off the record. Everyone needs mental help now!

Another reason to hate Oprah. It is shocking when that big head appears on your computer screen with its empty, soulless grin and lustreless eyes.
D. Richards, are you saying that people who vote liberal AREN'T suckers? That's funny. Anyone who votes at all might as well just be staying home and pulling the pud. They're all liberals, but the conservatives are the liberals who say "Jesus" and associate Him with war. Good cop bad cop.
It will only work for so long but by the time people wake up the magicians will be onto their next trick.
57. Ript1&0 - January 9, 2008 2:10 PM
I'D definitely want Oprah over Dr. Phil. Anyday. It's all about the quality.
The difference? Oprah is queen and totally unattainable. Dr. Phil is waiting in your breakfast nook for you. Good morning! It's 8am and he's already "done shit in your cheerios". What else can you do but laugh?

Dr. Phil is so perfect amongst the self serving hollywood attention whores.....Does Hollywood do that to people or is it those kind of people that end up in Hollywood? I'll never fuckin know....what I do knwo is:
weak people + too much adoration = cancer like growth of ego and eventual presentation of self as a complete and utter asshole fuck whit.
eg. Lindsay
Britanny
Tom
Will
Phil
Amy
Tara
John
Rush

I think Britney Spears needs help and if Dr Phil can help her by making her story public -not that it is not already ,then I see no harm in it. I think that she is on a downward spiral and if she does not get help then she will probably end up like Anna Nicole Smith. Shame on the parents for letting the daughters get so out of hand and letting it continue to get out of hand.
