Dr. Phil McGraw's show has caused controversy again, according to People. Apparently, one of the show's employees posted bail for one of the eight central Florida teens who were jailed for allegedly involved with a videotaped beating which was confirmed by Dr. Phil's rep Terri Corigliano. Corigliano told the Associated Press:

"We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show – assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines."

It's not surprising that the show will go to any lengths to get some controversial and well-publicized stories. The show is getting trashier by the minute.
