What was the moment you realized mr phil was a quack? For me it was when he had a man on the show who hit back after his wife assaulted him, and phil threatened to have the man arrested on stage if he got up and left while he was being humiliated and berated with things like: "there's no reason to ever hit a woman, not even if she has a knife" and "you're a coward" and "you're scum".
That man was a victim of long term domestic violence and snapped, but instead of helping him phil exploited him in his moment of weakness.
-
That's some dumbass sexist bullshit which was/is wrong on so many levels. First, it degrades women by equating them all with "delicate flowers" who are supposedly incapable of doing any damage. Second, it implies that domestic violence is acceptable, or at least not as serious, if a woman is the abuser and that a man, supposing the victim is a man, should not be allowed to defend himself. For normal people, not to mention someone who sells himself as a sort of therapist, that's some fucked up logic.
As a general rule, nobody should be hitting anyone else. Gender is irrelevant. If someone is assaulting you, and you are unable to get away, then you should absolutely fight back until your attacker stops attacking you. Once again, gender is irrelevant. The fact that "Dr." Phil's tiny little brain can't comprehend that is simply mind boggling.
-
As a general rule, nobody should be hitting anyone else.
Yes
Gender is irrelevant.
Well yes and no. Gender is a social construct. You probably mean “(biological) sex,” which is very relevant.

For me, it was when he had a woman on his show who had gained a significant amount of weight, after being sexually assaulted multiple times, in order to appear more unattractive to men. Dr. Phil told her to lose weight, and to stop "letting men use your body as a playground."

While I agree with you he is scum of the earth, he does hold a doctorate, meaning he can call himself doctor.
Exposing people for what they are is most effective if there is nothing in your story that people can use as “See? You’re wrong about this one thing so you must be wrong about everything”.
He is scum and exploits people, and I wish he would just go away.
-
And you know Frauter Phil has hit a woman or two in your day.
Someone that so far up their own ass and full of arrogance? Theres no way he hasnt hit a woman, and under far less justifiable causes than self defense during domestic abuse.

I always find it weird when people repost this acting as if Dr. Phil wouldn't have been in on the whole situation. It's not like the show was aired live, or that the guy wouldn't have had to been approved to go out on stage dressed like that by likely at least a dozen people, and Phil would definitely have been told in advance. So the guy was allowed to do it by Phil and the staff, and then the episode was edited and allowed to air, all for ratings.
-
could also be angry staffers like what happened to james cordon when he couldnt even name a camera man after being asked (or maybe that was live idk but his staffers wrote the question). maybe too many witnesses saw it and not airing it would look shit or the network demanded an episode
-
His producer either 1. didnt care, 2. thought dr. Phil looked like the winner, or 3. hated dr. Phil.
-
Or 4. Loved ratings
-
-
Television is a big show. News too.
-
Need to get the fairness doctrine back in place and start forcibly putting some integrity back in TV journalism.

I've gotta admit, that guy coming on the show with a Dr. Phil haircut is pretty hilarious. Take that, Thick Drawl McGraw!
I'm glad both Dr. Fool and that other guy who pushes super fruits and looks like Sinestro both lost their shows. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple of tools.
-
Sinestro lol, if you're talking about Dr. Oz he's unfortunately jumped into politics. Take a wild guess which party
-
I'unno, last I heard he's failed everything hes tried. Threw away fame and fortune as a doctor, to be a piece of shit bigot supporting asshole that sells pseudoscience cancer exploitation products.
-
-
-
They're both cunts who exploit people during their worst times.
-
Driving a truck is dangerous ? It's dangerous yes but to the people they may hit not them...
-
-
But if you do that, even if you see few or no patients, you have to get malpractice insurance
It has something called a tail clause, so once you retire from medicine you're covered from any former patients - if you keep your license, you have to keep paying
-
When we come in ya gonna hear diss.

The likelihood that he didn't know he was going to do this, even if perhaps it was a surprise on the day, seems pretty low. He allowed him to do it. I really don't believe the guy showed up dressed ina Dr Phil costume, presumably hours before taping, and was able to sit around in the green room and go past all the producers and make it on set if this was going to be a real problem for them. Doubtless if they didn't contrive the entire thing themselves then they likely saw it as a gift.
If I recall Dr Phil refused to interview him, and made a big show of kicking him off the set. On the face of it this makes him look bad and seems to prove the guy's point. I guess he either thought he'd still appear high and mighty by refusing to indulge him, (yet suspiciously waiting until he's literally on stage to do it) despite the apparent statement it made. Or maybe they figured it would just make such good ratings that it really didn't matter if you allowed him to make a negative commentary about Dr Phil that probably goes over most of the audience's head because the visuals alone would draw people in and could be milked for the program trailers.

What the actual fuck is/was that a real thing!? That's indeed despicable

-
He can call himself "doctor" but he can't practice because the regulatory authorities took away his licence to practice specifically because his show breaks so many of their rules. Even Dr. Oz never got his licence pulled.
-
It was pulled or he didn't have it renewed?
-
Doctor whatever hes still officially a giant cnut
Only cnut scumbags call themselves Dr if they aren't real doctors
-
-
Only scumbags who aren't medical vet or other real doctors use the title Dr for themselves
Its a cnut move for a cnut guy
-
-
Dr Phil is unfortunately a real doctor.
But a badly cropped screenshot of a tweet isn't a meme.
-
Any element of culture that passes from one person to another is a meme.
-
Internet memes have always been a specific format. Quit with dictionary definition bullshit. You don't get comic strips and Tumblr screenshots when you search for "meme" on Google.
Quit excusing lazy, no effort crap dumped into one community when communities for comics, unedited screenshots and photos, and all of the other junk posts that are dumped here for mindless upvotes instead of spreading content to several communities that need more engagement.
-
-
And isn't this old and irrelevant anyway?
-
-
It's not exactly "the same thing" though. One encourages direct violence. Dr. Phil presumably does not. One component of exploitation being comparable is not the same as totally equal.
-
He often sent kids to "trouble teen" camps, so he definitely encouraged direct violence.
