  • Katherine Lester breaks it off

    MySpace romance ends on Dr. Phil:

    Everyone’s favorite globetrotting Myspace runaway teen Katherine Lester was on the Dr. Phill show once again. This time it was to break off the relationship she had with the Arab man known as Abdullah Psycho. To make matters more humiliating for Abdullah is that the break up was done via satellite.

    “I’m not going to be with you any more,” the 18-year-old told her Palestinian boyfriend, Abdullah Jinzawi, who watched her on a monitor from Jericho, Jordan.
    Jinzawi sat silent for a moment, pulled off his microphone and stepped away from the camera.

    “Well, that’s mature,” McGraw said.

    Earlier on the show, Lester told McGraw — after some prodding — that Jinzawi was emotionally and physically abusive.

    So is getting dumped via satellite better or worse than being dumped by text message?

    Anyway, it seems that Ms. Lester has finally realized what everybody was saying about her internet boyfriend. Hopefully, this saga has finally come to an end.

  • Katherine Lester on Dr. Phil

    MySpace teen on Dr. Phil show:

    It seems that our favorite word traveling runaway MySpace teen is back in the news.

    Katherine Lester will be on Dr. Phil today and tomorrow to discuss her trials and tribulations. I thought this might set a bad example to teens willing to run away for some MySpace guy but Dr. Phil seems to have his act together this time…

    The second segment also will include an interview with Betty Mahmoody, an American citizen who moved to Iran with her husband and fled the country after he and his family became violently controlling. Mahmoody’s story became the 1991 Sally Field film “Not Without My Daughter.”

    I, of course, will not be watching because personally, Dr. Phil disgusts me.

    However, the article seems to reveal that Lester is back in The States.

    The series will have a third part that will air in a couple of weeks centering around Lester’s decision to come back to Michigan, said Wade Simpson, a segment producer with the program.

    “We fully anticipated her getting back on the plane at the end of the second episode,” he said. “And then she said no, so we kept tracking it to see what would happen.”

    Lester returned to Michigan about a week and a half ago, Simpson said.

    The soap opera continues.
