Dr. Phil's Public Apology
Dr. Phil McGraw's caught a lot of heat over his handling of Britney Spears' hospitalization saga - and now, Page Six says he's issuing a public apology.
"Was it helpful to the situation?" the television therapist asks his audience during today's show. "Regrettably, no, it was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do."
"I definitely think that if I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't have said a word. I don't think I've helped the situation so far."
That's not to say that McGraw is apologizing for everything, however. "My intention has always been good," he told Page Six. "I do not apologize for trying to be a friend and do something."
Luckily for the good Doctor, it doesn't appear that his wife's friend Lynne Spears will be holding his indiscretion against him - Page Six quotes a show insider as saying that "there's no bad blood between Lynne, Phil, and his wife Robin."
Britney's father Jamie, however still holds a grudge: "[Jamie] thought Dr. Phil would be able to talk Britney out of checking out of Cedars against medical advice, and when she still insisted on leaving, Jamie turned on Dr. Phil."
Hopefully Jamie takes Dr. Phil's apology seriously - it sure strikes us as sincere!
