Five of the most outrageous ‘Dr. Phil’ guests

‘Dr. Phil’ will come to an end at the end of the 2022/23 television season, but the show has had plenty of wild moments over the course of its 21 seasons.

Some guests have left their marks over the years thanks to their bizarre stories and peculiar beliefs, with Dr. Phil always there to try and help them.

Here’s a look at five of the wildest moments from ‘Dr. Phil’s’ run on daytime television.

1. Haley and her supposed pregnancy

Having made several appearances on ‘Dr. Phil’, Haley believed she was nine months pregnant despite tests and doctors telling her otherwise.

To make things even more bizarre, Haley believed she was giving birth to baby Jesus. Dr. Phil even arranged an ultrasound for her, which revealed she was not pregnant, but that didn’t stop her from believing that to be the case.

She also alleged that Eminem was her father and that she had been on ‘American Idol’, but her family denied both statements.

2. Unusual advice for teen daughter

Guest Marianne was brought on the show by daughter Miranda, who said her mother was doing all that she could to look like an adult dancer. She also encouraged her daughter to do the same.

Marianne went so far as to get breast implants and a large tattoo on her back, and even installed a pole in her house. When her daughter opted to get breast implants, Miranda insisted she get bigger ones.

3. Fake illness

Jessica brought her mother Patricia on the show because she lied to people about having cancer. Although Patricia had undergone brain surgery one time, it wasn’t because of cancer.

Nevertheless she faked the illness to scam people out of money.

4. The man who changed his name and tattooed his forehead

With a name like Sexy Vegan, you know this guest was quite the character. He featured on the show after his sister took issue with his antics, including being arrested 15 times for various offences.

Despite being an adult, his mother took care of his finances, and he also claimed he was the best-looking person and best dancer in existence.

5. The man who claimed he wrote a Taylor Swift song

Riley believed he was a big deal, claiming he had helped countless artists write their songs. He even said he had helped Taylor Swift write her hit, ‘Shake It Off’.

As a result his parents brought him to the ‘Dr. Phil’ show because they felt their son was delusional and a pathological liar.

Dr. Phil went so far as to tell Riley that he was friends with Taylor Swift, and that if Riley had bee involved in her career, he would have known about it. Nevertheless, Riley stuck to his story.
