(Original Air Date: 03/02/07) Do you live on the edge without thinking about the consequences? Dr. Phil's first guest made headlines across America. Crowned Miss Nevada in October 2006, Katie Rees was dethroned two months later when pictures of her in compromising positions surfaced. Why does she say her punishment was unfair? Then, David admits that he used to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to have sex with another woman while his wife, Sara, slept. He got away with it for a while, until Sara woke up and went knocking on the other woman's door, catching David with his pants down. Should Sara give David another chance, or is David not ready to make a change? Dr. Phil has some tough questions for him. And, Kendra, 26, has been shoplifting since she was 9 years old. She's been to jail once and is currently on probation, but says she just can't stop stealing. You won't believe who taught her how to do this! Dr. Phil has a strong warning for this mother of three. Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

I think I understand!

Quote From: marshella1

 While I don't personally know of anyone who's survived an affair and never had it reoccur, I believe it is possible.  I have a diference of opinion between my husband and I about the way Dr. Phil talks to the men who've cheated on their wives.  He thinks that Dr. Phil is all about the "making the story good for TV" and that when men tell him they've been trying this or that, are sorry, etc, that Dr. Phil doesn't listen to them.  I agree with Dr. Phil, though. I tell my husband he just doesn't get it - that he stresses that "unless and until you really understand how much the other person has been hurt"  that Dr. Phil knows that the person hasn't really gotten to that point of realization.  Anyone else debate this with their husbands or know what I'm talking about?   I find it hard  to describe the situation.  But it does seem that Dr. Phil stresses that point over and over about the "unless and until" part.  I think maybe my husband just doesn't get it.  In either case,we both agree we'd never be on national TV airing our dirty laundry!
Yes, I debated that very issue with my ex. after his 3rd affair, and no he didn't get it in the least. We have been divored for 5 years now, and about 6 months ago I got a very long email from him telling me how sorry he was for all the hurt, he caused me. I think he does understand alittle better, But not enough to have a face to face with me! I also would find it hard to go on Dr.Phil and air my laundry, but I sure wish that he had been on tv 20 years ago, I probably would have ended it alot sooner.

03/02 Caught in the Act

 hi. first post. I just registered. Thought I'd join in on the fun.  I  love Dr. Phil and his beautiful wife. They're awesome

 

 

 

 

 

 

^^^and this girl. ms nevada or whoever she was. She needs a makeover!!! That yellow dress she was wearing. I dont know if she picked it out or someone back stage did, butt eww that dress gross.. and she needed to do something with her hair, anyway phew feels good to get that out of my system ;)

 

That woman who caught her husband with another woman and she took him back home, if i had a husband that cheated on me. wow. I dont think id even talk to him, I'd just leave. that hurts. He might as well just whipped her 50 times until there was no more skin.

Marriage is a sacred thing. God created to be beautiful. one man unites with one woman. you create one body and when that person fails,it's like having a leg amputated.

 

I heard the man cheated on his exwife too, and and hired escorts, well he talked around. not wanting to admit to it (hehe). Now, I understand someone may have cheated once, and maybe they were sincere about the spouse they hurt and wanted to start over, and keep going in their relationship..

but some people are just not gonna change, and do what they want. So, you have to get out,  you have to remember to love yourself before you can love someone else. Also, if you want to try to work it out. Go to couple's retreats. Talk things over, discuss it with couselors, have romantic getaways and light that spark that once drew you together.

 

hope someone got some thing out of my message; anyway have a nice day! :P

I like to tivo the Dr. Phil show and jog, I always jog better when I can't identify with the show.     So tell me if I misunderstood.  A Very Tall Banana put  great effort  to be a role model for bananas everywhere.  But then Donald Trump said she was fired for pealing.  Then a lawyer who seemed to have  difficulty speaking English was giggling at  a wife that was so fed up with the language barrier that she beat up an Internet prostitute.  Then there was the Clepto Family coming on TV in hopes of being more easily spotted next time, and then Baby Clepto asked to borrow the banana suit. It was all a bit 'girls gone wild' meets the the wannabe Play-boy, but I loved the Banana's shoes!

nobody is better then the next person next to u

   I do belive that every one has something that they regret either something they said,did, didn't do or say. Not one person is perfect or better then any one eals. And people do disrve a 2nd chance but only if whoever or whatever chooces to give them one. Life isn't always fair.

     About the cheating mate. Its wrong, its wrong. If u are in a marriage then stay faithful. If u are in a comited relashonship why would u want to couse pain to someone you love. I have been cheated on It is very painful and takes time to get over it. I would have understood more if he came to me and said he was unshure and confused or whatever and left then cheated and betray me.

03/02 Caught in the Act

Quote From: penny_lady

Yeah but you broke the rules. I really don't see what is so difficult to understand about this. That's the rule. Now, I am not saying the rules are right...(sorry but I think pageants are sick wastes of time and money and hurt society more than help it)...but if you participate in something and break the rules I am not going to feel bad for you when you receive the consequences.
I think we have all made mistakes. I know I have I am just glad there was nobody there with a camera.  Personal lives should be that personal.  Shame on who ever sold these photos!

I Quite Agree

Quote From: lorri333

 I'm surprised Dr. Phil did not point out that as well as all the other things this cheater needed to work on was EMPATHY.   Dr. Phil mentioned the man was immature and a few other things while ignoring that the guy was practically a sociopath.   The cheater never once truly looked sorry,emotional or sad about having been such a jerk to his wife, except when HE was being slightly roasted by Phil.  Then he got upset.  And the cheat admitted right on camera that he was trying to take back the fact he'd admitted using hookers because it could be bad for him in a divorce.  Why his wife still wanted him I have no idea.....the creep was flat-out saying that he was worried about a divorce case meaning that still he was only thinking of himself and what he'd lose by fully admitting what all he was guilty of.  Pretty nauseating.  I have to just think, his wife deserves him for staying with him.  That cheater has no character,no morals, is self-centered, shallow and lacking empathy.  Why does she want him ?!
David creeped me out.  His total lack of integrity and even humanity kept seeping out despite his valiant efforts to control it.  There is something critical missing in this person.  I am a lawyer too, and if I were his partner, employer, or client, seeing the "real David" on the show, I would ditch this creep in a heartbeat.  I wouldn't trust anyone so lacking in integrity to be in business with me, or to handle my most important legal and financial matters.  Lawyers like him give the rest of us a bad name.

I'm Always Amazed

I'm always blown away when I see a woman who has been so incredibly disrespected, hurt, etc. just sit on the show and listen to the husband talk about affairs as if he's talking about eating a sub sandwich or something!  And these women always seem to hold such venom for the other woman, yet they don't carry that same rage for the husband.  I don't care why he's cheated repeatedly, obviously has a grand character flaw or tremendous ego which needs to be fed, anyone that's hiring escorts (prostitutes) is not worth keeping!  Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that she had no idea what type of man he really was prior to having babies.  So many women are extremely desperate to keep their men that they'll put up with anything and then turn around and have children in an attempt to hang on to the man.  We all put up with some type of crap from our spouses, but to have them crap in your face is another thing.  At the moment she confronted him in that house with the other woman, he should  have been out of house and certainly, my bed!  Much like John on Man Camp, this guy didn't seem sincere about changing either.  I think he was quite proud of his escapades.  And keep in mind, Dr. Phil didn't even tell us everything this guy had done!  Oh, and his claiming that Dr. Phil was just trying to humiliate him, what about his wife?  Can there be any greater humiliation?

Good Point

Quote From: bactphd95

On the basis of the squib preview, this one looks like the only thing he's sorry about is getting caught. Continuing that sort of behavior over that extended a period of time is not a one-time "oops," it is a conscious lifestyle choice. It will be very interesting to see whether David is truly willing to make the behavior and attitude changes necessary to save their marriage.
Furthermore, keep in mind that this guy knows good and well that she's never going to leave because any woman who literally catches a man in the act and isn't  filled with enough rage to throw him out, isn't ever going to be the one initiating a divorce.  Throwing him out at that moment would have let him know that she wasn't going to tolerate his behavior, letting him stay said to some degree that she forgave him.   I find it hard to believe that this was the first inkling (him slipping out that night) she had of him being a philanderer.  These type of men throw out red flags daily and by the dozens.  This guy is so full of himself that it's totally disgusting!

Kudos!

Quote From: deltadagger

Katie Rees is a person that is out of touch with the real world.  Not everyone has skeletons in their closet or has done something that they regret, if they do, its not of the magnitude of what she did.  I question her integrity because she was not of age to be in bars.  I question her selection of friends, considering they took the pictures of her acts and then placing them on the internet.    She also made the statement that she was going to use her reign to help "Toys for Tot" and other charitable organization, I do believe you don't have to me Miss Nevada to volunteer your time to any charitable organization. 

 

Katie Rees is a self serving and center individual, who is looking for the easy way to get by in life.  She needs to mature and figure out the meaning of right and wrong.  You cannot go through life feeling that I made a bad choice or mistake.  Making the right decision and selecting  the choices in the first place will take you a long way.   I do question her integrity because I truly believe she doesn't know what integrity is. 

 

What drives Katie is money.   If you pressed her, she will state money if the ultimate goal.  I believe when the price is right she will make another bad choice. 

Let me tell you, this generation of females (generalized) is growing up today to live and succeed by their crotches!  Males have these fools thinking that sex is the be all end all.  It's as if sexuality is the oxygen for the United States.  You and everyone else knows that this girl will move on to make her success and money from an offer from Playboy, which will in turn, generate fame for her, much like it did for Vanessa Williams.  Vanessa Williams would have been an unknown shortly after her year was over had she not had a sexual scandal.  And you know that times have changed even more dramatically since Vanessa's rein.  Bad is so very good for the image of today!  Much like in my daughters school, the hottest, slutiest girls are now elected class president because the school body votes for them and who do you think the boys are going to elect?  Certainly not the smartest, kindest, mature girl who has a real interest in leading her class.  Every thing is based on looks and most of all, sexuality these days!  Don't believe it, just look at all the TV shows and ads.  Is there not always a crotch shot of some kind in our ads.  And then we wonder why we have all these cheating husbands.  They're titilated everytime they turn on the TV, with infidelity being glamorized.
