A California woman is suing Dr. Phil and CBS because she was allegedly exposed to a naked man during a taping of an episode. She was one of the guests in the Dr. Phil House, and at one point, producers brought a nudist into the building. A judge has decided the suit can proceed. Snip:
Dieu says in her declaration that after she and Matchett retreated to a bedroom "horrified and crying," a show staff member banged on the door yelling, "Come out, come out Shirley and see the naked man."
Again ... not remotely crime-related.
My husband says that to me all the time, except that he doesn't call me Shirley.

And watching Dr. Phil isn't a crime?

LOL, Rhonda!
Maybe Dr. Phil could do a show on penisphobia. I've seen a few, and not yet have I glimpsed one I'd describe as "horrifying".
(Some were "cute", but I've been told it's rude to mention that).

"Come out, come out Shirley and see the naked man."
When I read that I pictured Leslie Neilson from the movie 'Airplane' answering, "I'm not coming out. And don't call me Shirley."

Surely you've seen one before, Shirley.

Maybe they should have blurred him as he entered the building.

Why is there a bedroom in the studio building?
Anyway, sounds like golddigging. Glad it happened to Dr. Phil though.

What WON'T people sue over these days? Good grief! And aren't we born naked? Then why/how could seeing the human body cause so much pain and suffering? Beyond ridiculous.
And this American phobia for the human body is responsible for more rapes and such than people would like to admit. In the little research I've done, European countries that openly accept the human body, and it's beauty and wonder, have rather low rape numbers.

Horrified and Crying? WTF is wrong with that woman?

LOL Jellybean. Ditto. Some have little helmets and others look like anteaters.

Was the naked guy flopping around the table askin' all the women folk as he would strike a pose:
"How's that workin' for ya?"
Surely there's a big 10 gallon cowboy hat somewhere in the Dr. Phil house to cover that thang.

These women just wanted their 15 minutes of fame to be on Dr. Phil. And since they only got 5 minutes of fame, they are suing!!!

Grow up peterpan, unless he was chasing you with that thing, were all grown up and were all made the same. Shake it off.

That woman really needs to see more naked men!

it's ok to refer to my penis as cute as long as you use the word "massively" just before cute...
