Dr. Phil Slapped with Bizarre Brainwashing Lawsuit

A woman has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Dr. Phil McGraw, two producers and another doctor in what she alleges is a case of false imprisonment, practicing without a license, indecent exposure, battery, fraud and more.

Shirley Rae Dieu, 56, of Irvine, Calif., claims she was seeking therapy from Dr. Phil in his Hollywood office in 2007 when she allegedly was held captive and "forced to be in the same room with a completely live naked man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all," according to her filing.

Dieu further alleges she was deprived of sleep and food, "brainwashed" and "subjected to edited tapings depicting her as a different personality other than her own." On Oct. 9, 2007, she claims Dr. Phil touched her left breast during a therapy session.

He showed her tapes of her other 'personalities'.

It's unclear how much she is seeking in damages but Dieu – who filed a malpractice suit against an Orange County hospital in 2002 and sued a car dealership in 2007 – is acting as her own attorney, and her filing is filled with misspellings and grammatical errors. Records also show she filed for bankruptcy in May 2008.

To be fair, we don't know it was 'Shirley' who did all that stuff.  :-)

Orange County, absolutely batshit crazy, and representing herself in a dubious lawsuit.

I'm confused, who was the "completely live naked man" in question, Dr. Phil?

I'm surprised that this nut didn't try to sue Oprah and go for the big money.
