Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.
