    Default Dr. Phil's negative stripper comments

    Did you guys see the Dr. Phil House yesterday afternoon (Monday)? They had 3 couples on there who were in bad relationships. Well one of the wives is a stripper, and had an affair with a regular customer from the club. Her husband didn't have a problem with her stripping, but the other 2 couples did, and so did Dr.Phil.

    Dr. Phil called the clubs "strip joints" and said they were toxic environments. The guy whom she had the affair with was brought on stage with his back turned to the camera, and was told by Dr. Phil to get out of her life.

    Dr. Phil also said that clubs create temptation for men, and that wives rightfully don't like them. He told the stripper wife that she needed to quit stripping if she wanted to save her marriage, and that they would offer her counseling and help her find other work.

    I of course went to www.drphil.com and gave them a piece of my mind. How many strippers have affairs with customers? We are there to sell dances and not to socialize. What he said is just like telling a gay person they are sick and in order to get better they would need to become straight.

    I think they need as many e-mails as possible blasting him for openly putting down our industry. Counselors are supposed to be neutral. I understand that the media is scared to appear to condone controversial things, but to openly bash them is wrong.

    I'm glad that you took the time to email them Tina. I hate that sort of one-sided crap that they try to pull.

    It is totally very rare for a dancer to meet a guy OTC for an affair but their story would have had women everywhere fearful that the next time their man goes to a SC that he will run off with someone.

    I personally think that a SC is a safer place for a taken man to go than a regular bar where there will be women who are interested in hooking up with him.

    Everyone on SW should bombard them with emails.

    I'm shocked! You mean they put strippers down in order to appease their daytime audience?

    that's gotta stop.

    Emily, I am aware of how TV works. My point is that being in the professional capacity that he is in, he should be more neutral. And all of us who make a living in this business should stand up to that type of stereotyping, because if we do, eventually it will stop.

    That annoys me about Dr. Phil that he is not neutral. I majored in psychology and they specificially tell you that when you get into practice you should never be judgmental and you should try to stay neutral so that people can make their own decisions. He used to be a clinical psychologist so I wonder if he was always judgmental or if he only got that way once he was making his multi millions.

    That annoys me that he told her that she needs to get out of dancing.

    Well it's coming from the same guy who is fat on his weight loss book...I try not to take too much of what he says to heart (and when he does say something worthwhile, I realize I already knew that and didn't need to buy his stupid book to realize it either).

    No, he doesn't say that about gay people. He does take the non-religious stance openly on his show that gayness very likely is hereditary.

    It's not exactly hereditary like that, like baldness.
    What it means is that in studies of identical twins separated at birth and raised apart in completely different families, states, sides of the world even, the likelihood that if one is gay the other is too is way too high to be by chance. I'm talking more than fifty percent, whereas in fraternal twins it is much lower, and in adopted siblings it is close to zero.

    This means NOT that if your dad is gay that you will be too, it means that something biological happened to the twins to make them gay, it was not necessarily a choice.
    This something could be genetic, or it could be the environment en utero, or anything like that.

    Who cares what homosexuality is and if stripping's a sin?

    As long as nobody gets hurt it's all fucking good to me... and even then.. if they WANT to get hurt...hey...
    cheating hurt him, not dancing.. even HE made that clear.

    That doesn't seem very helpful to me. The couple of times I've been to a psychologist, it was to solicit opinions, not so he/she could hold up a mirror. I can do introspective soul-searching all on my own.

    There were also two other wives in the room that were critizing the woman's choice to work as a stripper. Dr. Phil pointed out the fact that thier comments were very judgemental and he even diffended the woman's choice. The husband commented that he would prefer that his wife not dance for a living and that is when Dr. Phile came down on her and said that her dancing was distroying her mariage because she did meet her lover while working. I beleive that the husband has every right not to trust his wife every time she leaves to work the club. Up until that point in the conversation she had not called off the affair with her lover.

    Well, me too. At least if I'd ever give him any credence. I dismiss Dr. Phil's psychological advice because I think of him first and foremost as an entertainer. His schtick is creating sexy television; therefore, he has very low credibility in my eyes.

    And besides, I find him pretentious and annoying as f**k.

    I'm not surprised. Dr. Phil is such a retard. His advice is just generic psychobabble bullshit. I can't stand to watch his show!

    I saw the episode. Dr. Phil's target audience in my area is 5pm, when all the wives and husbands are home to watch so it makes for good television. Those women in there that were judging her had no room to judge because they had a ton of problems of their own but to them her being a stripper was the worst thing out of all of them. I really liked what the one woman said "I'd rather ride a bike than be a stripper" saying they should sell one of their cars or work 3 jobs. Unless someone is in that person's situation, you shouldn't judge! Maybe those other women are able to live a life without dancing because maybe their husbands make more money, or mommy & daddy gave them an inheritance whereas the woman who's dancing is out working hard for her money and doing it in an honest and legal fashion and still having time to raise her kids.

    I do agree the affair she had with her regular was very toxic, dangerous and unhealthy but that has nothing to do with dancing. It would be the same situation if she was a secretary and having an affair with her boss or a customer to the office. It's because she's a stripper is why this thing is so magnified. I think she should continue dancing if that's what she wants to do and it helps her family out financially.

    I'd rather strip than ride a bike. I've had three long term relationships with men who weren't so insecure as to feel emasculated by that fact. I guess Dr. Phil is not that kinda guy.

    I lost a lot of respect for him on that show. He had an agenda and egged the other women on to disapprove. He pushed them to gang up on her. Later he told them they were being judgemental but she had simply had to accept that stripping couldn't be apart of their lives.

    What's laughable is another woman was told by her husband "do me" and she'd drop to her knees, in his office and suck away. He likes to tell their friends he only married her because she gives good head. But she was disgusted by stripping. What a load.

    Very good point Optimist!!! I forgot about that, the "do me" part, and that he married her because she gives good head. She was the one that was doing the most judging!!!! I think she needs to take a good look in the mirror and judge that first before judging a dancer who's trying to make a living for her family!

    ^^^^^^Now we're onto something here. He really doth protest too much.

    He says "how do you feel about strange men crawling all over her". But he wouldn't say that about a single guy dating various "strange" women! He also keeps assuming her customers are getting high contact. Every club and every girl just isn't the same! Ultimately, skeeviness is in the eye of the beholder. I guess he's just a little thin skinned.
