Dr. Phil Criticized for the hospital visit to Britney Spears

Many of those who have read about Dr. Phil's visit to Brtiney Spears when she was briefly hospitalized after losing the sole custody to her kids felt disgusted.

He reasoned out that he was requested by the family to see Britney Spears.

But now the family announced their feeling of being betrayed by the TV talk show host.

Here is the news:

Television talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw violated the trust of Britney Spears’ parents by making public statements about his hospital visit with the troubled pop star after a standoff with police last week, a family spokesperson said in an exclusive interview Wednesday.

“This is another example of a trust being betrayed,” Lou Taylor, the spokesperson, told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira. Rather than helping the family’s situation, the celebrity psychologist caused additional damage, she said.

“I think it’s been compromised, because it’s a measure of trust,” she said of the relationship between Britney Spears and her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears.
