Only one ex-employee of the show went on record to convey their criticism. While the other sources where completely anonymous because they have the fear of retribution and retaliation.
A spokesperson on Dr. Phil denied all claims and released a statement saying that the series comprises of more than 200 hardworking and proud staff members who have been working for two decades.
Dr. Phil McGraw issued a statement in support of Pennington and called all stories fictional. Pennington’s lawyers claim that Buzzfeed wanted to create a viral story and spent months creating a baseless narrative and anonymous sources to support the story.
