“Dr. Phil” McGraw and his wife is suing supermarket tabloid, The National Enquirer, for $250 million. The McGraw’s has filed a lawsuit against the tabloid with claims that it published false stories about him being an abusive husband and hypocrite. The lawsuit was filed last week in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Enquirer and it owner American Media Inc, Star Magazine, and Radar Online were named the lawsuit. Per Yahoo!… According to the suit, the publications damaged McGraw’s reputation by falsely accusing the TV psychologist of physically and verbally abusing his wife, Robin. The articles also said that Robin McGraw tolerated the abuse and that the couple are getting divorced. The suit also says the Enquirer threatened to run a false story accusing McGraw of busting a man’s head with a beer mug during a drunken melee while in college in the early 1970s. The suit says such allegations unjustly harm the McGraws’ reputation as outspoken opponents of spousal abuse. It adds that Robin McGraw started a foundation aimed at helping battered spouses and that the couple’s marriage is solid. McGraw, 65, hosts the popular “Dr. Phil” talk show, where the booming-voiced Texan is known for passing out folksy advice to guests with various problems. He also produces “The Doctors” and other TV shows and publishes best-selling diet and self-help books.
