(Original Air Date: 09/13/07) The saga continues, as Dr. Phil brings you more of the affair that shattered the lives of a husband and wife and her best friend and parents. One year into his marriage, Brandon was caught cheating on his wife, Amy, with their teenage nanny. After fearing for her life, Amy filed a restraining order against Brandon, and he filed for divorce. But, their separation didn't last long. Amy decided to let Brandon back into her life, much to the dismay of her best friend, Heidi, and her parents, Cyndie and Mont. Why does Cyndie say she's scared of Brandon, and why does Mont say he doesn't believe a word Brandon says? Then, how are the kids faring during all of this chaos in the home? Heidi and Cyndie say they worry Brandon's discipline is over the top, but he says he's a loving father. What does Amy have to say? And, why does Dr. Phil question Brandon's sincerity to change? Is there hope this couple can save their marriage or should they call it quits once and for all? Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

cheating is not acceptable

i know everyone has times when they are tempted to cheat but you should not cheat with a nanny. they are around all the time and you will get caught just like you did. you need to think before you act. a teenage nanny does not help the situation because then there is more of a temptation when your husband is not trustworthy. thank you for your time and i will speak next week on dr.phil.com

12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

Quote From: shan34

COME ON PEOPLE!!!! He slept with MORE than ONE nanny!!! Once, maybe even twice but hes sleeping with children!!!! God the first was a teen why is nothing being said about that??? Age of consent...WHO CARES...SHES WAS A TEENAGER!!!! HE has no self control he NEVER WILL!!! He thinks hes "all that!"

 

He's  NOT!!!!!

Everyone makes mistakes, I think Heidi is to involved and obessed with her friend and should get a life herself.

12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

It just amazes me that they are even on th show for a second time. This guy is never going to change and his sarcastic, rude attitude is just proof it. As if cheating is not bad enough, but to cheat with your NANNY who is 18 years old. This guy needs to be locked up. I can guarantee one thing: he is NOT going to change.

Second part

about the marriage minus heidi-  I don't think at the very end that brandon was playing that up.. he was crying b/c Dr. Phil hit some "key" things in his life that hurt and Brandon could relate to... if Brandon didn't want the marriage, would he really be there?  I am not fully standing up for this guy.. I mean, he did cheat and he needs to take responsibility.. the wife however, she seems that she wants "someone" to make her decisions for her... she needs to follow her heart and not what anyone says.. far as I'm concerned, rid of heidi and there is a very good chance for those two.  no parent is perfect and they admitted their faults so others really need to understand that putting the kids in their own parents hands is not the only solution... they need support to help their marriage, not rid of the kids and end it all together... but do want to add.. heidi, go get your own husband b/c its starting to seem that your either jealous of the wife... or possibly the husband?  friends support one another, not tell them what to do!!

I agree with you

Quote From: tamitha

I completely agree with you.  Heidi is a control freak BIG TIME.  And its BURNING her that Amy is choosing her husband over her.  (at least thats what she believes).

Someone should not have to choose a friend or husband.  We live in a world where we can have both.  Heidi seems jealous to me.  And its funny how she says that Amy is a "pig magnet" attracting pigs all the time.  What about HER ????   When the husband says that she sleeps around with 50 year old men just to get money and stuff, what kind of woman does that make HER???  Maybe she thinks Amy is a pig magnet but it also appears that Heidi is one of those PIGS!!!

She didnt even deny it, just reflected the comment by saying "we are here to talk about you, not me"

I would cut Heidi out of my life - it seems SHE is the one who is no good for Amy.  She causes drama, arguments and will do anything she can to keep them having problems by getting in the way.

 My husband and I agree that Heidi has no place telling Amy what to do with her husband.  Having Heidi on the show, I thought was out of place big time.  They were there to get Dr. Phil's advice and see if he could help them and was seeking his advice.  Heidi needed to keep her big nose out of it, she was not a good freind.  A good friend is there for you, help with the children, dry your tears, but not to tell you if you should stay married or not.  Unless there is abuse to her or the children, then just be a shoulder to cry on.  She was totly out of place on the show and holding back her freindship if Amy didn't do what she wanted her to do.

12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

Quote From: manofgoods

What I think about all of this is, while people are so busy slamming Heidi, I think that she makes some very good points. I honestly think that she is showing her friend how to make good choices, etc, becuase Amy is too weak to stand up to Brandon, etc. And it's not just her against him, it's her parents, the nannies, etc. That makes what, 5 or 6 people against him? Plus there are possibly others that are against him, too. Think about it. Stop making excuses for this man for what he is doing to his wife & his family, & stop telling Heidi to butt out. There needs more stand up friends like her & the rest of them. As far as Heidi being in love with Brandon or Amy, I don't think that's the case, considering that she has known them for so long.
Yes, she does make good points, but points that should be made when asked for.  What kind of a friend is she if she "WILL NOT" have anymore to do with Amy if she is with Brandon?  Perhaps these people are against him for the wrong reasons??? Listening to Heidi to much maybe???  I see her as very controlling and manipulative.
