(Original Air Date: 09/20/06) Have you ever wanted revenge on an ex-lover? How far would you go? First, look inside a legal battle that has been brewing all summer. Tasha, creator of the Web site DontDateHimGirl.com, says her site is a public forum for women to share their dating experiences and tell the "truth" about their exes. Todd says false information about him was posted on Tasha's site, and he thinks she should be liable for the negative posts. He has filed a lawsuit against her and two of the women who posted. When they face off for the first time, who does Dr. Phil think is right? Then, Ashley found out her boyfriend, Corey, had cheated on her three times during their 10-month relationship. Now, she says she wants to get revenge by exposing him to the world. So why did she recently call Corey and beg for sex? And, Corey comes clean with Ashley and tells her how he really feels. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Todd vs Tasha

I feel that Tasha is taking "freedom of speech" to a new level.  She should be responsible for what is posted on her website even though she did not "write" the comments about Todd.  The internet has taken communication to a new level and it is time for people who host websites to be accountable for what is posted.  Tasha seems to me to be a very domineering and confrontational person with a chip on her shoulder by the way she behaved on your show.  She did not "listen" to what you or Todd was saying and was continually was speaking over the both of you.  I can see that Todd has a fight on his hands, but I'm pulling for him in that his voice will make a difference and hopefully set a new standard when it comes to an issue like this.

Tasha thinks she's God to woman

Quote From: abrocksmom

i feel bad for todd to a point, i hate that he feels his reputation has been ruined by the comments made by ex's on the website. Saying that, I don't feel like Tasha is to blame for the comments. Maybe nexttime he dates someone he will be more careful and respectful of their feelings, if not he may see his name again on the website.
 Why does Tasha feel the need for this site and why is it "her duty" to bring men to justice!    Tash is providing a medium for people to dis people.  I think that's rotten, regardless of how any man "supposedly" acts.

He's wrong

I'm sorry I might be the only person that feels this way, but I think it's crazy that he's going after the director of the website.  Why isn't he suing the girls who wrote it- he has identified them in the lawsuit.  I think he 's after money and that's why he's suing her.

09/20 Revenge of the Exes

If Tasha is the one cashing in the checks made by this web site, then she should be the one held accountable.   For her to stand behide the First Amendment is cowardly.   Her web site is nothing more than bitter women crying about unrequented love!!!  Get over it girls!!!   He just wasn't into you!!!!   Oh well...so much for being a strong woman!!!!   Tasha, own up to your responsiblities.   If you believe and care about your web site so much, you should be more aware and in control of what goes in.   Time to pay up!!!!

You've got to be kidding me!!!

 OK, this guy is just pissed because he got cheating and transmitting STDs.  And maybe somethings were exaggerated, however we have all seen guys just like him and a little warning is nice. Tasha is just a website host and I agree that he is trying to intimidate her by the lawsuit.

09/20 Revenge of the Exes

Dr. Phil,

 

I caught your show today and was shocked at the attitude of the women who owns the website you were talking about. There were several tings that she left me scatching my head about. Namely does she really think that you and your viewers are dumb enough to believe that she did not start this web sight to make money. She just invested her time and money getting the site up and running and never thought about making a return, right!

 

More importantly is that she has provides a forum for women to trash men whom they feel has wronged them. Where are the checks and balances for the men? As a woman I know that in my life I have been hurt and would like to have gotten even. However, with that in mind who can really say that everything  these women are saying about these men is true. Has this woman never heard the old adage "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned?"

 

A man's character be severly tainted by a pissed off woman and if this site continues to go unchecked there may be furture problems. Suppose one of these men reads something about himself and decides to take his own revenge (i.e. physical revenge). What about slander laws, do they come into play in this type of situation?

She may not have had baggage before him...

Very little surprises me today, however ... the second man on the show today made a few ridiculous statements.  He is in his mid to upper 30's and focuses on teenagers to date because they don't have "baggage"...

 

Additionally ... stating he is a "victim of the media" is clearly a poor excuse for his behavior. He is clearly smart enough to try to blame the media in attracting men his age to young girls ... I am sorry ... he is responsible for his own actions and desires ... and the media should have nothing to do with it for him.  Does he have no sense of identity and scruples at his age???

 

The young lady was a teenager... clearly she is not thinking the same way an older woman would ... who may be better experienced in dating men who like to "play the field" and not have specific expectations.  He should admit the fact that his attraction is due to the fact that she is young, inexperienced, and less likely to see through his "B.S."

 

She knows now and must move on.  Yes... he helped initiate her into the cold cruel world of dating and the fact that many men do not feel they do not need to be held accountable for their actions.  I see men like him as predators on young women.  The men in this position have no accountability for their actions - and as the saying goes... "All is fair in love and war"... thus ... if men continue to treat women this way ... a website as described in the beginning of the show is just as fair to a man leading a young girl on to get what he wants and leave them with the "baggage" he does not want to deal with from older and more experienced women (women who have suffered the deceptions from men like him).

 

The good for the goose and good for the gander does apply - and I am not bashing all men as I know there are some very good guys out there and some very nasty girls who play men the same way men play them.  A young girl who is thinking someone really likes her is not differentiating physical attraction from true attraction and of course, I believe it is better if women can wait before becoming physically involved - because it does add a sense of commitment for many women (whereas many men do not feel that same commitment - in fact - they many times have their little diaries they keep to show how many women they have successfully fooled).

09/20 Revenge of the Exes

I really hope that guy wins his lawsuit.  People need to take responsibility for their actions.  The woman who set up the website didn't make the comments, but she is responsible for not holding the women who post accountable for what's put on her website.  You shouldn't be able to put another person's whole name or picture online without their consent... for that person's safety if for nothing else.

Thats insane!!!!!!!!!!!

 That is nuts!! I am a woman and have dated a lot of "good" guys  and "losers". I would never ever do a posting on the internet about someone. I hope Todd wins his lawsuit, more power to him. I have an ex-husband that I would'nt walk two steps out of my way for but I would never put him on a website. Tasha you should be ashamed to run a website like this.

High School Games?

She has set up a website just like HIGH SCHOOL children do that pick on other children. The only difference is in her case is she is making money of of it and she is an adult that really should know better at her age. I am curious does she have children and are these the values that she is raising her children with? Dr. Phil & Todd did a great job at talking to her while she made herself look foolish. Good luck Todd.
