[@boldmesa]

@@ladyweasellou3367 There’s a show with updates (within this past year) about a number of past guests and the father Daniel was one of them. He still had full custody of his daughter and reported that the mother has pretty much removed herself entirely from their lives. In my opinion, that’s definitely in the best interest of the little girl but it’s still sad that her own mother doesn’t want to be a part of her life anymore.

[@April.Showers.]

Actually, she thinks she "won" against Dr. Phil. She told him he was a joke and dramatic on HIS program. A narcissistic trait there for sure. The subtle smirk of hers said, 'I got you pal." You can see that same smirk with Amber Heard in one of her court depositions. "I'm getting away with this." They lack the insight (and/or care) to know just just really going on. They are just focused on whatever agenda that they are promoting. In this case, destroying Daniel. Just like Amber Heard has used her smears of Johnny Depp to advance her social standing.
