The Dr. Phil And OctoMom Show

Posted by Brett Singer

Nadya Suleman in...The Neverending Story

Who needs a publicist? Dr. Phil seems to have decided that he's going to ride the OctoMom Express as far as it will take him.

First, he convinced Nadya to accept help from Angels in Waiting. They may be sketchy, but if Dr. Phil says it's the right thing to do, then that's what



Then he visited the octuplets. Here's a clip:



I like the part where he says, "Oh, of course you see them all the time." Because we need to be reminded of that.

And now he's going to reveal what the arrangement is going to be -- but not until his next show! Because he cares about... ratings.

I understand that Dr. Phil is a TV host and he wants to make money. That's fine. But he pretends that he's being somehow helpful. That's not fine. I mean, he has exactly the same license to practice therapy that I do – none. Nadya Suleman needs actual help, and I don't just mean changing all those diapers. I mean, Angelina Jolie can't adopt all eight of her kids, right?

I like the visual you have uyp with the mom, the pretender dad and the real dad.  

Dr. Phil is a jerk.  He breaks every ethical rule of psychotherapy on this show.  His wife's eyebrows should be illegal, too.

Dr. Phil & Oprah,Will someone tell Gloria Allred, she's just angry because she lost the Octomom and quit giving the woman airtime, my God, its absolutely insane! Thats ALL she appear's to be in it for, more sensationalizing at the expense of the baby's and the the Mother. I sure hope no media outlet hire's Gloria because of it! I swear I'll delete the channel! She's got nothing more to add than someone with an axe too grind, c'mon you all gave Gloria her 15 minutes of fame, now can we move on PLEASE! I never ever respond to this type of media but in this case, I felt it my civic duty, AMERICA is SICK OF YOU! Good bye Gloria!
