unPHILtered: Why Dr. Phil Says It’s ‘Insane’ To Give People Benefit Of The Doubt
Dr. Phil says that even though he was taught to give people the benefit of the doubt, he thinks that’s “insane.”
“I don’t think you give people benefit of the doubt,” he explains. “I think what you have to do is don’t be pessimistic, don’t be paranoid, but you just go at it and collect data.”
On Thursday’s episode, Dr. Phil speaks with Brian, Liz and Bethany who claim their former friend, Sarah, fabricated multiple stories about herself, including that she had terminal cancer and muscular dystrophy – and they say they feel violated, betrayed and angry with Sarah and want answers. Sarah says she lies because her “real” life is “not very exciting.”
