I know this title sounds shocking and downright crazy but….the ever so sweet Dr. Phil McGraw is being sued by the memorabilia dealer Thomas Riccio, who recently got his 15 minutes of fame via the O.J. Simpson trial.
The “dealer” was the one who took O.J. by the hand and led him straight to the hotel room where the fateful crime took place. Poor O.J.! The reason that Riccio is suing the miracle doctor is because during an interview on the Dr. Phil Show, Thomas claims that his words were spliced to change their meaning. What? Not Dr. Phil.
Riccio said he would not have appeared on the talk show if he would have known that his character would be questioned. The show called him a “a shady deal-maker” and “a puppet master who would sell his soul for coin”. People sell their souls for coins all the time. How many coins are we talking? O.J. Simpson was found guilty of all 12 counts and is going away for a long time.
Dr. Phil seems to be having his character questioned on a regular basis. Who can forget how he rushed to Britney Spears side when she was being held on a 5150 in early 2008? His big plans were dashed as the Spears family saw right through his ploy. Does that sound like a man who would do harm to others for the good of his wallet? We think so!
