Britney Spears’ family is accusing Dr. Phil of violating their trust by his public statements about his hospital visit with the pop star.

Family spokeswoman Lou Taylor, a business manager for mother Lynne and daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, appeared on Wednesday’s Today and said that the family never planned to do a show with Dr. Phil, despite his claims to the contrary.

“He was not invited to make this a public display,” Lou said.

“They were taken advantage of, they are people who love their daughter and need support.”
