Someone on Moving on also perceptively said "How about instead of writing public emails you ask yourself why [Kristi] may have chosen to distance herself? Then give her space. Respect her decisions."
I commented that maybe Jim LaMattery is upset that he wasn't portrayed as he expected to be, as the universally adored knight in shining armor "doing it for" "every fricking kid that has been ruined by those people," but if he really was doing it for us, why would his image matter? The show rocked as far as exposing the cult.
I also think the Dr. Phil show deserves some credit for knowing what they are doing instead of acting like it's all Kristi's fault and the show is run by dummies. I mean it's not like Dr. Phil is not a psychologist. Why not blame the show for doing what they do, finding people that the good Doctor can help on air personally with the subjects he knows best. Or did he not know the format of the show before trying to go on it?
I am sure there is a lot the show had to edit out and simplify. I wish they had asked Jim LaMattery if he's polled the "fricking kids" he is supposedly championing about how he has affected their lives and if he has treated them as though he were on their side.
