Dr. Phil isn't apologizing for offer to help Spears
LOS ANGELES (AP) -January 21, 2008 On his syndicated talk show today, McGraw said he had planned to
do a show on Spears' troubles before she was hospitalized January
3rd. Furthermore, he says Spears' mother, Lynne, had planned on
participating.
He says they never intended to have Spears on the show, and they
certainly never discussed staging an intervention with Spears.
McGraw acknowledges he released a statement to the media about
meeting with Spears to quell any rumors. He says he never disclosed
what happened in that meeting, nor will he ever.
He says he does not apologize for reaching out to a friend, and
he's been friends with the Spears family since 2006.
