Report: Dr. Phil Show Blames Low-Level Staffer for Bailing Out YouTube Teen:
Dr. Phil and his show keep digging themselves into a deeper hole.
They’re putting all the blame on an unnamed low-level staff member for bailing out Mercades Nichols…
“In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines [re: the bail being paid]. These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised,” the statement read.
Among the skeptics, outside of myself, is TMZ, the infamous gossip website.
The show issued a statement saying certain staff members “went beyond their guidelines,” but according to TMZ, the word at Paramount is that it would be impossible for the producer to pay the $3,300 for the bail and put up $33,000 in collateral without the full knowledge and approval of higher-ups on the show.
Does anyone actually believe Dr. Phil in this case? I think what little credibility he had has taken a big hit. She’d be better off if he just came clean.
