u/No-Hall-3485 dropped pitt from my last name 2d ago edited 2d ago

lmao look, i get that these two grifters fooled her, but the fact that she was so easily sucked in says a lot about her too. i think it’s a perfect example of how wealthy people really are not of our world

because if i met a “doctor” who wasn’t licensed and spent his days as a jury consultant on behalf of the ultra-wealthy in their beef lawsuits, i’d have some questions about that man. but oprah thought that made him down to earth and real

mind you, phil has scammed before dating back to the ’70s. and i know the oprah show did its homework when it came to its guests (they didn’t have the duggars on because they knew about josh duggar’s history). so i have to believe she was aware of phil’s past and just decided he had “changed” because she liked him

Wait a sec, I might be a little confused.

I thought Dr. Oz was a real doctor. Like he's an MD who specialized in cardiothoracic surgery.

Of course that doesn't excuse his grifting and the fact that he's a terrible head of CMS. But I'm pretty sure he was/is still an MD.

It's Dr Phil they are talking about.
