Dr. Phil‘s Merit Street Media hit with countersuit for fraud and breach of contract

"In a lawsuit filed in Texas federal court on Tuesday, Trinity Broadcasting accuses Dr. Phil, whose surname is McGraw, of swindling the Christian TV network under a $500 million, ten-year deal in which he failed to deliver a single episode of his flagship talk show," reports The Hollywood Reporter's Winston Cho. "McGraw’s Merit Street Media is in bankruptcy court and simultaneously suing Trinity for breach of contract that the company says led to its downfall. The court has called the dispute anything but ‘routine,’ mainly because McGraw conditioned a loan to Merit Street on the company winning its lawsuit against the network."

He tried to finance his wife's cosmetic line. He also tried to finance his idiot son's business.

He is an idiot when it comes to money. I saw this coming.
