Dr. Phil Producers Embarress Executives!

Ever hear of a producing staff crossing the line? Yeah we haven't either but the Dr.Phil Show is claiming their seasoned producers did however cross the line by paying the bail for 8 teens that allegedly beat a classmate on tape. Even worse their heavy set producer put the smack down on reporters after springing 17 year-old Mercedes Nichols. TMZ reports that the show Executives are pissed at their producer for putting them in that situation. But did they give them permission?

The show issued a statement claiming certain staff members "went beyond their guidelines," but the buzz on the Paramount lot is that it would be impossible for the producer to pay the $3,300 for the bail and put up $33,000 in collateral without the full knowledge and approval of higher-ups on the show.

Isn't Phil's wife leaving him too for inconsolable differences? Looks like its not the good old Doc's week.
