He can be a pompous jerk, but in this case I think he was right. He was fighting for that girl's life. I believe he had to be tough to wake her up. Her parents were a couple of milquetoasts so someone had to do it. And he's sending both to rehab centers. I didn't see anyone else stepping up.

I heard he has a new diet book out. He has always obsessed about women's weight and he's overweight. How crazy is that?

Yeah, the diet book is one that I'd skip.

True but he didn't have to humiliate the couple in front of everyone. And the guy was actually articulate and respectful. Dr Phil told him verbatim what to say (tell her you're never going to see her again…) then threw him out.

I can't imagine what he could say that would be new or fill a book.

because he told the deadbeat boyfriend to get lost and dump his crack ho?

It was the way he did it. He was so pompous about it.

IMO, It needed to be done. The girl overdosed on heroin 16 times, someone had to step up and be a jerk to her.

He didn't have to make the two stand up and face each other and make each other break down. It's a technique that uses humiliation and in a very public way.

It was a bit dramatic but I think it showed he wasn't playing around. Unfortunately, I have seen heroin's destruction and the addict will do whatever or whoever it takes to remain an addict.

Although, they did place most of the blame on the boyfriend. Which to me, is denial on the parents part. The daughter is responsible for her own addiction.

I don't think he quite threw him out. Phil told him he would get him help. I hope it works. The guy did seem remorseful.
