NATIONAL ENQUIRER.....
The 'Dr. Phil' show is a fraud!"

That's the shocking revelation of two former guests, who say the
show's
producers paid a stranger to insult them on-camera and arranged for a
photographer to do the same.

"They saw firsthand what a fraud Dr. Phil's show is, and they want the
whole
world to know about it," a source close to the women told The
ENQUIRER.

Maryanne Bodolay, 400-pound executive adminis- trator of the National
Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), and Sally E. Smith,
374-pound
editor-in-chief of Big Beautiful Woman magazine, went on Dr. Phil
McGraw's show
last November.

The ladies said that after years of worshiping Dr. Phil's work, they
were
thrilled to be invited onto his program to discuss discrimination
against
overweight people. They said they thought they would be treated with
respect.

But before they could appear on the show, producers sent them on an
"undercover" mission to Las Vegas, they said. A hidden camera followed
them
around in the hopes that strangers would make fun of them in public
because of
their weight.

But "the whole thing -- as Dr. Phil would say -- drove off into the
ditch,"
Sally wrote in an article about her experience.

No one insulted the women, they said, until program staffers arranged
it.

"The producers were convinced they would get what they needed," Sally
wrote.
"Well, they eventually did, but they had to actually pay one man to
make a rude
comment and convince the poor, horrified camera operator to expedite
the shoot
and say something mean to us."

The crew then moved the women to Los Angeles and sat them in a
restaurant next
to two diners known to dislike fat people, hoping the strangers would
say
something nasty.

"It didn't happen," Sally said.

When the show aired in November, viewers saw Maryanne and Sally
visiting a
mall, a fitness center and a buffet restaurant. Hidden-camera footage
showed
onlookers snickering -- supposedly at the overweight ladies. At
different times
in the restaurant, one man asked, "Is that fat-free ice cream?" and
another
told the women, "Leave some (food) for somebody else."

But it was all a scam designed to fool Dr. Phil's viewers, the ladies
say.

Sally said she and her friend Maryanne had been loyal fans of Dr. Phil
from his
days on "Oprah."

"When one of us called the other with a problem, our immediate
response would
be, 'What would Dr. Phil say?' " Sally recalled.

The women told a pal they appeared on the show hoping to change the
self-help
guru's philosophy that being fat is a psychological flaw that can be
overcome
through willpower.

But once on the show, "the rose-colored glasses through which we'd
seen Dr.
Phil shattered," Sally claimed.

Maryanne and Sally were never identified by their last names
on-camera, and
viewers were never told of their credentials as advocates for the
obese.
Instead of having a serious discussion with two experts, Dr. Phil
labeled the
women militants and made fun of them at every turn, they said.

To add insult to injury, producers telephoned the furious women weeks
after the
show aired and asked them to make a return appearance because the
first show
had gotten such huge ratings.

"When Maryanne was first approached to be a guest on 'Dr. Phil,'
producers led
her to believe she would be treated as an equal," a friend of the
NAAFA
administrator told The ENQUIRER.

"They assured her it would be a friendly forum where she could express
her
ideas without being dragged over the coals. So Maryanne and Sally went
on 'Dr.
Phil' with an uplifting message for people everywhere, especially fat
people
who are constantly tortured by the way they look."

But instead of treating the women with respect, Dr. Phil portrayed
them as
victims, the friend said.

"The only thing they're victims of is Dr. Phil's cruel ambush," the
source
said.

Dr. Phil did not respond to The ENQUIRER's request for comment.

True, but it really happened. I'm good friends with Lynn McAfee (a
former NAAFA board member) and we talked about it.

Here's a discussion about the show from the NAAFA web site:

I believe someone has already addressed this once that you apparently
didn't notice..it's titled "shrink wrapped my encounter with Dr phil"
published by the lady herself. How do think the Enquirer found her?

Does one really need an article to prove this? people really can't tell
a fat out of shape bone head like that now giving weight loss advice is
a joke?
