Dr. Phil Sexual Assault Allegations; Former Patient Claims Dr. Phil Sexually Assaulted Her

August 5th, 2009 by Castina

A woman who sought treatment for depression from “Tell It Like It Is” Dr. Phil McGraw in 1984 claims the TV shrink sexually assaulted her.

Sara Morrison was a shy college sophomore 25 years ago, but she is still haunted by what she says happened to her.

“Not a single day has gone by when I haven’t been affected by what Phil McGraw did to me. He profoundly affected the course of my life,” Morrison reveals in the August 17 issue of The National Enquirer, on newsstands this week.

“The world should know this man is a predator and a bully. He shouldn’t be telling Americans how to live their lives, how to improve themselves. I suffered from low self-esteem, and I was depressed, lonely and suicidal. Phil was extremely insistent that I call him all the time, and he would call me. He wanted to see me three or four times a week – as a patient.”

She recalls, “I suffered from low self-esteem, and Iwas depressed, lonely and suicidal. Phil was extremely insistent that I call him all the time, and he would call me.”

Sara says the nature of her relationship with the doctor — then-34 — changed the following summer, when he paid her to work as his intern, while still charging her as a patient.

“The first day I showed up for work, Phil had his hands all over me,” she recalled. “Phil would pull me down to sit in his lap while he talked on the phone to patients, other doctors, even his wife! He’d be running his hand up and down the inside of my thigh all the way up to my panties.”

This is rubbish, a simple fantasy designed as a feeble attempt to destroy the mans career, if this was true, surely she would have pressed charges ages ago.

I for one will refuse to believe a word of what the woman says unless profound evidence is shown, I have faith in doctor phil and his work.

The woman clearly said she was not in her right mind, why would you believe her?

furthermore if you believe a simple piece of tabloid junk with absolutlely NO evidence supporting any of its claims you clearly have no life.

Perhaps you all should get off the couch and go get a life?

I think so.

I can’t believe this is true. Dr. phil has a beautiful wife so why would he waste his time on such an unattractive woman with issues. If he did have an affair it would be with someone worth losing his wife and career for.

even if this is true… doesnt it prove to her that she shoudnt have low self esteem since she is liked by him… maybe it was part of her therapy to fix it physically rather than tell her lies she would see through… it is the best treatment.. for example.. i have issues with getting girls.. so actually getting one would be better therapy than just be looked in my eyes and told lies about how im fine and nothing is wrong with me, etc by a person paid to lie to me to make me feel good…
