Dr. Phil on sex scandal: "Dieu's claims are without merit"

Dr. Phil's camp released a statement denying Shirley Dieu accusations that she was forced by Dr. Phil to stare at a naked man and grabbing her left breast.

Statement via TMZ:

"All of Shirley Rae Dieu's claims are without merit. As with all of the occupants of the DR. PHIL House, Ms. Dieu participated voluntarily, having submitted her personal story with the hope that she could confront, and overcome, her individual issues.

Dr. Phil is never alone in the House with any of these guests and all of his interactions are captured on video and/or audio tape. All guests are, of course, free to come and go as they please and once Ms. Dieu expressed her discomfort, and producers ascertained there was nothing they could do to help her, they called a car service to return her to her home.

Ms. Dieu filed a claim with the Los Angeles Police Department some 9 months after the incident, which was investigated and ultimately not pursued by the Los Angeles City Attorney. All guests of the show are treated with dignity and respect and the show stands by the manner in which she was handled while participating on the show."

Heavy evidence to pursue this kind of case..

Dr. Phil was sued by former patient (sexual assault)

If David Letterman's sexual extortion scandal is brewing in favor of him even though he admits having a relationship with his staff, another old guy is in the hot seat for sexual assault.

Former therapy patient named Shirley Dieu filed sexual assault charges against Dr. Phil, claiming that she was held captive by Dr. Phil inside his production offices, forced her to stare at a naked man and then grabbed her left breast.

According to TMZ, the documents stated that in 2007 "Dr. Phil tried to "brainwash" her and force her to endure all sorts of physical and emotional abuse.

Phil forced her to "be in the same room with a completely naked live man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all."

Shirley alleges she tried to escape the building, but "was blocked by the staff to prevent her from leaving."

Phil "touched her left breast during her therapy session."

Shirley Dieu will need heavy convincing evidence to prosecute Dr. Phil. If the incident happened in 2007, many people will surely question why she waited this long?

If the alleged incident is true, Dr. Phil gave a creepy manipulation to his patient.
