Unforgivable Acts?

A bitter feud between neighbors crossed the line when it brought a dying little girl into its crossfire. Jennifer and Scott have been called the "cruelest couple in America" for bullying their then 7-year-old neighbor, Kathleen, who recently died from Huntington’s disease. Kathleen’s family says the grudge went too far and accuse Jennifer of creating a Facebook page and posting images of Kathleen with a skull and crossbones and yelling, “Hurry up and die” toward their home. They also claim Scott drove a hearse-like truck with a coffin attached to it down their street. Jennifer and Scott deny the family's claims, but say they are sorry for any wrongdoings — will their apology be enough? Learn how the bad blood began and may have escalated to such hateful acts. With both families face to face, can Dr. Phil foster a peace?

What Were You Thinking?

Spray tans, fake teeth and hair extensions — is it too much for a toddler? Wendy sparked a firestorm when she dressed her then 3-year-old daughter, Paisley, like the prostitute character from the movie Pretty Woman for a beauty pageant that aired on a popular reality television show.

Wendy insists she had the best of intentions, but does she stand by her decision? Plus, see what happens when she faces her harshest critic, fellow pageant mom Susanna, who added fuel to the fire by calling Wendy out in the media.
