(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.

tasha vs corey

she has the freedom of speech which allows her to say anything  on her website  but it cant be discriminating people i think that tthe creator of the website  and the lawyer go over to that person who wrote those things about him and press charges against them stop suing people over the problems you have maybe the author could put security setting which will regulate what people can say on the website and what they cant

Reasonable

Ok, I don't agree with what was done to Todd at all - but I do understand how one can become angry enough to 'want' to do something like that.  I was recently put in a position where the now ex boyfriend really did me wrong.  And it was even worse because it affected my kids.  And for as hurt and mad as I was, and for all of the awful thoughts that I had, I don't think that I could have put not only him out there like that, but I don't want to use up that energy and waste it on him.  In the end, it really won't make you feel better, because the hurt won't be gone after the slashing.  I can't say how I would have handled it if I were a teen or in my earlier twenties, but I am 30something year old woman with a family and I believe in prayer.  But again, I do understand how someone can feel driven enough to do something like that, but it doesn't mean that I condone those actions.  And on the lawsuit against Tasha, I think that Todd should seek suits against the woman or women who actually put him on the website and not necessarily Tasha. Kinda the old saying of: "don't shoot the messenger".  If the postman brings you bad news in the mail, you can't shoot him for delivering the message - he just delivered it - he didn't write it.

He** has no fury

I personally enjoy the website.  I believe it could be an outstanding research tool for single females.  When dating, people should come with a warning from the surgeon general.  Meaning the ex should inform the new person of certain aspects that could be encountered.  I have dated a guy that I thought was an outstanding catch.  One day while at work, I got a call from his wife.  When confronted with this information, he told me that he didn't think I need to know about her because they were separated.  Needless to say, the trust was completely gone and so was the relationship.  If you could call it that.  Now I enter all encounters with eyes wider open, expecting what is not be expected.  Like calls from wives.

A question Dr. Phil might have asked

When the lady in the audience admitted that she posted explicit derogatory information about her boyfriend,   she also put his picture and last name for all to see and said that she accepted responsibility as well. for her actions.  I wish she had been asked this question:  Would you have done it if you had to identify yourself by signing your name and posting your own picture?

Things like this should be stopped

I think that the lady who created this would not appreciate it if her name was all over the web site with what she did or did not do or her medical issues and they were lies.  I don't think it is up to each person to take vengence on anyone.  It will come back to bite them for sure.  As the Bible states "vengence is mine", the Lord said.  It should be left up to God to take care of the situation and the ladies need to move on and grow up.

re the dont date him law suit

 well I think todd being a lawyer should have used the rebuttal form of the site. Seems to me he saw this a a money making opportunity. And is actually getting his revenge in a more public forum.

Sure there were things said about him on the net, but i read somewhere the the person who wrote the posting actually removed it after. so whats his beef. so what he isnt gay so what he doesnt  have herpes good for him. He said on the show he shouldnt have to have this conversation with every girl he plans to or wishes to date. UMMM well in this day and age he should be having this conversation with everyone he plans to get intimate with. if he doesnt how does he know they dont have this disease or worse. 

He is a good looking guy and seems to be successful, like every bit of news in the world something comes along to take peoples minds off it almost immediately.

Sure he was damaged but then again what did he do to these woman to make them this angry to post these allegations about him. must have been something really bad. well like they say you cant escape murphy's law. EVERYTHING YOU DO COMES BACK TO YOU.

I personnally would have ignored it - and if ever asked about it would them put the matter straight or I would have used the rebuttal option before wasting the courts time with another lawsuit.

I never heard of dont datehimgirl.com before this.

well i hope it goes well for him and tasha.

If you are proud of what you write - sign it with your name

Quote From: mooniekate

If he can go after her for postings that other women made, then any woman can sue a restaurant for having a man write something about them in a bathroom stall.

Grow up, guy! Seriously, those women have the right of free speech, and all women have the right to be informed. Some of the posts might not be true, but who cares? It's a place for women to vent to each other, about losers that take advantage of them. In this world we live in, it's not safe to feel safe.

The problem is the women don't have to sign their name..the woman in the audience had an affair with a married man, admitted she trashed him but didn't admit she was sleeping with a married man and if you google her name she doesn't track back to any of it.  If you really think what you are doing is right sign your real name, and let what you are writing track back to you forever and if your new employer googles your name let them see who you really are too.  Fair is only fair.  Men make mistakes just like women do.

01/01 Revenge of the Exes

Are you serious??? What  is this chick thinking???  The website is completely self destructive and cowardly!!!!!  I have been burned many times in my life and im only 27.  I have been abused mentally, emotionally and physically.  This question is for the women that have posted on the website-Do you think that when you post a guys profile on the website; the guys that you are speaking of aren't saying the same thing about you??????They just don't have a website to post it on!!!!  I have to say this-If it is o.k for women to post on the website and damage a guys reputation-Shouldn't it be o.k for a guy to do the same?  There are lots of guys out there and I realize that people have their own opinions-but the saying goes TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT!!

be for real...

When you are dating,seeing,or sleeping with someone,as in anything outside marriage,you take your chances.If we all were so 'moral',we would all be married and never having sex outside of it,in a utopian world.Whatever happens between you and that person is as personal as that relationship.It would be equally wrong to publish and broadcast your spouses' pics or personal information about them,even IF the relationship was totally monogamous.Even IF people are totally honest and upfront,that does NOT mean the other person agrees with any choices,conditions,or decisions.I have been on both ends of negative situations,and personally,I would NEVER slander anyone puclibly,because it is possible and likely,that they will have a totally positive and healthy experience with another person.The strength of our character is NOT measured by how many battles we win,how much we THINK we are perfect,or our ability to try and judge others.We ALL have something dark about us,so let's be real,live and let live.Revenge brings it's own evil,right on the head of the person doing it....Like Dr.Phil said,the best revenge is success and moving ahead with your life.

Revenge of the Exes - well i can see why

When it doesn't work out between two people etc. -- seems like these women are just throw tantrums, these are the women that post their pain publicly for what, who give a rats petuti, everyone has an experience they felt some form of unrighteousness but the last thing that entered my mind, was revenge or a stick in the eye as you had said once on your show...... . I feel for Todd, I hope he wins...., she is out of line and doesn't care about people and see that everyone has their imperfections. Which Natasha is not exempt of either. She should apologize. She is point blank out of line, in my opinion and society should not tollerate actions that allow the tarnishing of anyones character, no matter what form it comes in. They should be held liable no matter how small a part they play in it. So, I hope that they force her to provide faces on the women that are making these allegations. The fact that they don't builds a cloud of doubt and rains lightly of dishonesty. I can see why the men ran for their lives, i would too from anyone that has such a black spot in their heart. I suggest therapy. Thanks Dr. Phil.
