Shocking article about Dr Phil and Todd Herzog (Survivor)

BEEUUUUWWW!!
Awesome site donor
Story tells how Todd Herzog was left with a bottle of vodka as he waited to appear on that show. No wonder he was so shitfaced.

He had won “Survivor,” the reality TV test of grit and strength. But Todd Herzog was so drunk when he appeared on the “Dr. Phil” show in 2013 that he had to be carried onto the set and lifted into a chair.

“I’ve never talked to a guest who was closer to death,” show host Phillip McGraw declared on camera.


TV viewers, however, didn’t see the setup for this shocking scene. Herzog, who was battling alcoholism, told STAT and the Boston Globe that he was not intoxicated when he arrived at the Los Angeles studio. In his dressing room, he said, he found a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. He drank all of it. Then someone handed him a Xanax, he said, telling him it would “calm his nerves.”

I was reading this earlier today. Equally as shocking is the way the representatives from the Dr Phil show dismiss everything that was said because "addicts lie".

I hope Todd Herzog really is doing ok, the original story saddened me/
 
With all of you on this. Disgraceful. I admit to always being suspicious of the motives of some of these so called celebrity types. Isn't Dr Oz under some cloud with false advertising?
 
Dr Oz flogs fake fat cures, he is full of bullshit but is a doctor, is Phil even a doc? Craig Ferguson always mocked him as a fake, going to check:)
I have always thought of old Phil's show as new gen Jerry Springer, isn't it just whingers and wankers? I have not viewed.

Phil gives me the annoyances. He's a spinoff from Oprah isn't he? Another one who annoys me.
 
OK, checked and Craig is right, he ain't no doctor and he never has been.
He has a PSYCHOLOGY degree, you just do a 3 year course, and you cannot call yourself a doctor in Aus.
(Update: appears he has an academic doctorate, nothing to do with medical doctors, ie he did a PHd in psychology.....maybe he got it off a cornflake box, seems common practice in USA)

Medical doctors that specialise in mental health can become a PSYCHIATRIST, after they have passed their medical degree they do further training.

Old Phil is a quack, he isn't even up to date as a psychologist....
