Dr. Phil Accused Of Giving Drugs To Addicts

Multiple guests of the “Dr. Phil” show claim that the good doctor fed their addictions in the name of good TV.

According to Page Six, several addicts have come forward with accusations that Dr. Phil and his production staff put them at risk by leaving them without medical attention or by supplying drugs and alcohol to them throughout their recovery.

A joint investigation from STAT and the Boston Globe revealed that one guest, “Survivor: China” winner Todd Herzog arrived to Phil’s show sober, yet seeking assistance for his addiction. He says that when he arrived in his dressing room, he found a liter of vodka, which he ultimately was unable to resist drinking. When he alerted a member of production what had happened, they offered him prescription Xanax to help settle his nerves.

He famously appeared on the show drunk off his azz, actually blowing a 0.263, nearly three times the legal driving limit. He claims he ultimately was helped by the program, but an addict shouldn’t have to fight that battle with easy drugs being pushed their way.

SMH! Can you believe they’re doing the addicts coming to them for help like this?
