I think Kayla just wanted attention and by not dropping this she wants big bucks. By not accepting the apology and the free tickets, it proved it. She snookered Dr. Phil into believing she would drop things but then twisted it around and said she wouldn't be on another talk show. I bet if one asked her to appear she would again. She used Dr. Phil's kindness and connections to help her win her lawsuit.
I ended up burnt to a crisp and my insides make sounds of rusty pipes yet I didn't sue for millions. My husband almost died from a bone infection that went undetected for months and ended up in a body cast, yet he didn't sue. My cancer was misdiagnosed for 5 years and I was told it was all in my head. I didn't sue; I tried to make sure I stayed alive.... I lost my looks and health from others not doing their job right and that isn't right.
I was told I was too tall, thin, and beautiful when I stood up for my rights to work. I was told it couldn't go to court because the jury would take one look at me and feel that I deserved the abuse since I was so beautiful. How insane is that? I wore my husband's huge uniforms where the crouch went down to my knees...yet because I was pretty, that meant I deserved it? Plus I never even wore shorts during my lifetime... Yet I was told "anyone could 'imagine' what I looked like under the baggy clothes".
Plus many years later (while fighting to stay alive from cancer) when we were trying to defend against my in-law's crimes against us, again I was told I was too beautiful and the jury would conclude I was "a bitch" (me - someone that always treated everyone with kindness and I was fighting so hard just to stay alive from cancer) plus was told constantly, "She was too old to prosecute". Come on now! I was never rude to anyone in my whole life, yet because they didn't want to acknowledge that this woman deceived so many people (and I means so many) and it took little me to uncover her crimes, they use the excuse she is too old to prosecute. Dr. Phil should have considered having me on the show for relatives that rob heirs of their inheritance, etc., yet because she is old now, I was passed by and someone like Kayla gets on when she just had plans to pursue her lawsuit all along. Yet time limits passed on what we endured from my in-law and I sincerely just wanted to warn people how to protect their assets from the criminal relatives out there! So should I bitch that I was passed over?
I think Dr. Phil made a mistake having her on his show. Yes, she was cute, but no big deal. She isn't suing to make sure nothing like this happens to anyone else. Something like that doesn't happen that often, yet as for what we went through with being cheated by a relative (which I proved her pattern of cheating other relatives for decades), now that happens to TOO MANY trusting people out there. I feel helping to protect others on making sure they aren't left vulnerable to unconscionable relatives who feel they deserve everything for themselves and will do whatever it takes to get it for themselves, is a more deserving show that will help enlightened EVERYONE, not just one in a million, if that.
(Original Air Date: 09/18/07) Does it annoy you to no end when someone uses a cell phone at the dinner table or chews with his or her mouth open? Along with author Peggy Post, Dr. Phil tackles the dos and don’ts of etiquette. One issue making recent headlines is appropriate in-flight attire. Kyla was flying to Phoenix on Southwest Airlines when an employee informed her that her outfit was too skimpy. Kyla saw nothing wrong with the way she was dressed and was appalled when she was asked to cover up. Did the airline go overboard, or was Kyla too tantalizing for take-off? Then, Kate took her 19-month-old son on his first flight, but she was removed from the plane when he became too talkative. Was the airline out of line for telling Kate to shut her baby up? Peggy Post weighs in on this polarizing problem. And, Joan says she doesn’t have any peace at home because of all the noise her family makes – from loud chewing to clinking dinnerware. Her husband, Bob, says he and their three children have to walk on eggshells around Joan just to eat dinner. Is Joan overly sensitive, or does her family need to be reined in? Plus, meet a woman who says her husband’s bad manners didn’t disturb her until she had a baby, and a guest who nominated herself as having the worst etiquette in the country!
