Dr. Phil Allegedly Imprisoned 300 of His Employees

Actor Phil McGraw, who plays a doctor on his popular talk show Dr. Phil, is being sued by a former employee for locking nearly 300 staffers in a room armed by security guards.

Leah Rothman has filed the lawsuit of this incident. She worked for Phil from 2003 until April of last year. People Magazine describes the March 11, 2015: “She was called into work on her day off, where she and approximately 300 Dr. Phil employees were gathered into a room staffed with several security guards. McGraw allegedly entered the room, told the guards to lock the doors and ordered the employees to turn over their phones.”

The alleged imprisonment / staff meeting was over someone on the staff leaking information to the media. In the lawsuit, Rothman claims Phil yelled “If you f— with me, I’ll f— with you.” To which I’m sure everyone responded by saying, “WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, WRITE ME A PRESCRIPTION?? OH WAIT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT A REAL DOCTOR.” That would have solved that situation.
