Spears' Family Accuses Dr. Phil of Crossing the Line

The Spears' family asserts that Dr. Phil betrayed them by making public statements about Britney Spears' mental health, after he visited her over the weekend in the hospital.

Apparently, as this report claims, the family asked Dr. Phil to come to the hospital, but they made him aware that they did not want the public to know about his visit or her condition.

However, earlier this week, I saw a preview for a Dr. Phil show on his visit to the hospital with Britney Spears. This article claims that he had, in fact, planned to do this show, but that he dropped it as he thought it may cause the Speares' family too much stress.

Dr. Phil has been quoted as saying Britney Spears needs a lot of help, and he does not regret trying to get her into a quality treatment program.
