Dr. Phil (2002)

Season 11: Episode 146

Twenty-three-year-old Amber made headlines when she posted a photo of her bruised face and neck brace on Facebook and publicly accused her ex-boyfriend, Austin, of attacking her with a baseball bat — an attack Austin denies. The incident landed him in jail for assault and her in intensive care — but despite the assault, Amber admits that she still loves Austin. Amber’s mom, Joyce, fears her daughter will take Austin back when he’s released from jail — and that doing so could have deadly consequences. Why does he have such a hold on Amber? And, can Dr. Phil help her find the courage to move on without him? Then, George says his ex-wife, Dorothy, is “evil” and “diabolical” and even tried to have him killed three years ago. Dorothy pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and is currently serving five years in prison.
