What?! Dr. Phil is an exploititive asshole who has been accused of sexual harassment. There are so many other qualified individuals who could carry the torch. I don't trust him at all.

Also:

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists imposed disciplinary sanctions on McGraw on January 27, 1989 for an inappropriate “dual relationship” reported in 1988 by a female therapy client/employee from 1984. McGraw was ordered by the Board to take an ethics class, pass a jurisprudence exam, complete a physical evaluation, undergo a psychological evaluation, and have his practice supervised for one year in order to continue his private practice in Texas. McGraw admits to giving the client a “job” at his office (which is not allowed), but denied carrying on a sexual relationship with the 19-year-old, who says their relationship was "sexually inappropriate".[12][3][13] As of 2008, McGraw has not completed the conditions imposed by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists,[14] and he is not licensed to practice psychology in Texas, California, or anywhere else.[15]

After being sanctioned in Texas in 1989, McGraw did not renew his license and is therefore unable to “practice psychology” or to represent himself as being a psychologist.[16][13] Appearing on the Today Show in January 2008, McGraw said that he has made it “very clear” that his current work does not involve the practice of psychology. He also said that he had “retired from psychology.”[17] According to the Today Show, the California Board of Psychology determined in 2002 that he did not require a license because his show involves “entertainment,” rather than psychology.[18]

Then:

ESCALANTE, Utah — A woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by a staff member at a ranch for troubled teens in Utah is suing Dr. Phil and CBS.

In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles this week, Hannah Archuleta says the alleged assault happened after an appearance with her parents on the “Dr. Phil” show in October 2019, when she was 17 years old.

The lawsuit alleges Dr. Phil, whose real name is Phil McGraw, and staff members on his show pressured her family to send Archuleta to Turn-About Ranch in Escalante, Utah because she had been she had been having suicidal thoughts.

On the day of the shows taping, McGraw's staff allegedly arranged for Archuleta, who is now 19 years old, to be flown to the ranch for troubled teens where she was allegedly groped on more than one occasion by an unnamed male staff member.

The suit alleges "failing to mention the “various complaints and charges of physical and emotional harm that befell minors sent to the facility.”

The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages.

In a statement to The Salt Lake Tribune, Turn-About Ranch officials said they “took immediate action” after Archuleta accused the staff member.
