Copyright case (2017)[edit]

In September 2017, McGraw won a copyright case against a former employee who acquired a video in bad faith, and planned to sell it to the National Enquirer.^[2]

Allegations of Hostile Work Environment[edit]

In February 2022, around a dozen current and former Dr. Phil employees accused McGraw of mistreating people involved with his show.^[3] Speaking anonymously with Buzzfeed News, these people claimed that they experienced "verbal abuse in a workplace that fosters fear, intimidation, and racism."^[4] Seven current employees also claimed the show's guests are often brought onto the show when they’re already in a vulnerable state, and are manipulated and treated unethically.^[4] Attorneys for McGraw and his co-producer Carla Pennington categorically denied every allegation made.^[4] However, a spokesperson for ViacomCBS told Variety, among other things, that "creating safe and inclusive working environments is a top priority" and that “We encourage any employee who believes that they or others within the company have been treated unfairly to report it without a fear of retaliation. We take seriously all such reports.”^[5] 2601:447:4000:220:5EB:69E8:5A8B:EAF7 (talk) 23:01, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The libel about Sexy Vegan under the controversy section is made up by a known Sexy Vegan hater named Petsemetary, please delete it and block Petsematary[edit]

For starters the reference listed is not credible and in addition to that if you read the referenced source it does not say the made up libel Petsemetary claimed, this user has repeatedly done this kind of thing, he created an entire article on Sexy Vegan just to bash him with made up stuff. 2601:586:CA80:B260:5401:35C8:6A93:210D (talk) 09:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
