DR. PHIL ADMITS SPEARS STATEMENT WASN’T ‘HELPFUL’
Dr. Phil McGraw spends his days telling people how to fix their lives. This time, he admits, he’s the one who got it wrong.
Earlier this month, the tough-loving talk show host sped to Britney Spears’s bedside at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after her family requested his help. After their brief visit — prompted by Spears’s Jan. 4 meltdown — McGraw gave a statement to Entertainment Tonight, saying that the 26-year-old singer was in "dire need of both medical and psychological intervention."
