He's Sorry (Sorta)

Filed under: Britney Spears > Dr. Phil

wenn1373268__opt11.jpg

Dr. Phil has been receiving a lot of flack for his visit to Unfitney Spears at the hospital, and he's not sorry, bitches.

The only thing he's sorry about? Talking about the visit after the fact.

"Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no. It was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do," he told his audience at a taping of his show on Thursday, which will air on Monday. "I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't make any statement at all. Period."

McGraw tells USA Today he visited the trainwreck as "a friend and ally of the family," not as a psychologist. He stopped practicing years ago and is not licensed in California.

Asked if he would make the same visit again, at the request of concerned parents, Dr. Phil says, "How do you not?"

We kinda agree with him on this one.

    *** THE DIFFERENCE IS that a "friend of the family" would not publish a press release after such a visit.

    let's see…sorry about talking to the media about it after the fact. So that's not in reference to pissing off Britney's family, it's in reference to the fact that he got caught and now he's being investigated.

    Notice Oprah isn't sticking up for his annoying loud ass anymore?

    Do you all think she would have done worse by Dr. Phil than she has done by not seeing anyone? How about those X17 rag photos for example? Pffffft.
    For all intents and purposes, Dr. Phil looks like the better deal from here.
    He's a bigger man for sounding his backup beeper here. Nice, Dr. Phil.

    Well, when she commits suicide people will be like why didn't some one reach out to her…at least he tried. She's crazy yes, but everyone needs some one to talk to without being exploited!

    Yeah, right. The only reason the egomaniac blowhard visited her was to get everyone on his show, not to "help." He's not a licensed psychologist, so how could he "help" more than the licensed psychiatrists at Cedars? Too full of himself!

    Perez — even the Spanish Inquisition had the best intentions when they burned people at the stake!!!!!!
    "Dr" Phil is NOT licensed to practice medicine in California!!!!
    "Dr" Phil is NOT allowed to accost hospital patients without their consent!!!
    There is a REASON why physicians need to be licensed to practice
    You got the horns right.
    Now take his dick out of your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yea and the fact that he is not a license to practic in Calif. And has been reported to the Medical Board in Calif. Phil went to Britney room uninvited BY Britney who was the patient, then couldn't RUN out the hospital fast enough to make statements about it. He also was going to have a segment in his show about it. What a MORONNNNNNNNN..!! Money hungry NON LICENSE HAVING PHONEY

    Re: Chelsea – Dr Phil has a PhD in clinical psychology, so yes he is a doctor. He got into some trouble a while back with the Ethics Board in Texas and lost his license to pratice.

    All this crap needs to stop…your damned if do or if you don't. I sincerely commend what Dr. Phil has done but unfortunately there is always others trying to dig up what they can to get a few dollars or publicity. My heart aches for the boys. This is what I say now…Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother Spears step up and be what family is really suppose to be and take care of her and do what needs to be done know before it is too late. You will be sorry. Parents never stop caring but are you so involved with your lives and what you may not be entitled to? I guess we all will see if you really love her. I am no professional and you can only cry wolf so many times but enough is enough. Go in and take over if you love her or is it the money. Dr Phil again all you can do is look back one day and say you tried. Sincerely, A Mother of 1 - Topeka, KS

    God to big fake teeth make him look like a horse, or even worse like Duffs daddy. robin probably drags him along to her plastic surgeon (you can tell by looking at her shes had alot) and makes him get something done too. So phil's like "well ever pancake has a dog bone in its cherrios" or some shit he's allways saying.

    He would make the same decision? What an asshole. Why is this douche bag on television. He is what is wrong with America today. How about if the family comes to you, you recommend someone else that is a practicing psychiatrist? Can't you say "No" you cunthead? You have shit for brains.
    Dr. Shill, go fuck yourself, then shoot yourself in the head with a colt 45.
