Spears Family: “Dr. Phil violated trust”
Britney Spears family is accusing Dr. Phil McGraw of violating their trust by his public statements about his hospital visit with the troubled pop star and his call for her to receive therapy.
Family spokeswoman Lou Taylor, a business manager for mother Lynne and daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, appeared on Wedneday’s Today show and also said that at no time had the family planned to do a show with McGraw, despite his statements about such a program. (McGraw later said the scheduled episode would not go on as originally planned.)
“He was not invited to make this a public display,” said Taylor.

I agree but the Spears family had entrusted Dr. Phil with the family’s public image and lost their creditability by exploiting the situation.

Britneys’ family violated her trust once again, by consulting with this quack. They don’t want to help her, they want the ensure that she is committed and they be given legal control of her finances-through Kevin, via the children.
Who in their right mind would consult a tv quack psychiatrist to help someone they really loved. Her family is now speaking against Dr.(quack)Phil because of the public outrage, namely the Psychiatrists who initially lambasted him and the hospital for their unethical conduct. Had there not been a public derision of his televised “tell all”, they would be sitting on that soundstage with him. Tearing her to pieces for the whole world to see and ensuring that she would committ suicide.
