Look who Dr. Phil's son got engaged to!!!

[JoeThaNo1Stunna]

I fail to see how anything is Dr. Phil's fault, or anyone's fault for that matter. Playboy is pretty much one of the most tame men's magazines out there. It's comparable to Stuff, FHM, and Maxim more than porno mags.

So what if his son married someone who posed nude. I don't think that goes against family values in any way. And even if it did, his son is a fully grown adult who makes his own decisions regardless of his upbringing or parental guidance.

This is a non issue and I can't believe I wasted my time talking about it.

First of all, she was a playmate...as in the past.

Second of all, who the heck are we to judge? We know absolutely nothing about her in any way that really matters. And even if we did, it's not our decision to make.

I really don't see what Dr. Phil has to do with any of this. Does he have to pick his sons' wives or something?

Okay, I'm not judging HER. Well, maybe I am a little, in the sense that if my daughter made the same choices I would be very disappointed with her. But that has nothing to do particularly with her as a person. I'm sure she's a very nice girl .

My point is, and some of y'all seem to really be missing it, is that if my next door neighbor's kid married somebody who starred in adult videos, I'd be like, ok, whatever, that's cool. Amusing.

But Dr. Phil is someone who is GETTING RICH promoting a lifestyle to us regular folks that includes condemnation of porn, and his son goes out and gets engaged to a porn star, who, by Dr. Phil's definition, is going about as wrong as it's possible to go.

Not JUST a playboy playmate (You forgot Cindy Crawford in the celebrity lineup)-there's a big difference for me between flashing some breasts in a glossy magazine and being paid to have SEX with other people on camera.

So, Dr. Phil, I think, is a big flippin' hypocrite, and if his kid is marrying a porn star, then he needs to sit ol' Jay down in one of his freakishly tall chairs in front of his audience and ask him about his choices, just like he does to all the regular folks he has on his show. You can't have it both ways!

What I am surprised by is the posters who are saying 'it's no big deal.' Sure, for regular people, it isn't, but hello, Dr. Phil, purveyor of family values?

Where are those Dr. Phil books, I"m returning them to him.

It's like Clark Howard putting out the book "Clark Smart Kids' and you find out he's cashed in his kids' college savings accounts to go gambling in Vegas.

Also: I wish someone would write a letter to Dr. Phil, asking why his son picked this particular triplet? I mean, was there something wrong with the other two?

You could just ask him! He's lurking around the DIS somewhere!

 

[Crankyshank]

but it's not Dr Phil who's marrying the former playmate so again I fail to see what the big deal is.

 

[Tiggeroo]

Ok, here's what I see the issue is.

First, she does do porn, she's got videos out there (I found the ads for them by googling her name).

Dr. Phil is VEHEMENTLY against porn, but somehow his kid goes and gets engaged to a porn star.

So, how valuable is his "Family First" teaching? I'm sorry, but if I was a mom to a son and he brought home a girl that's a porn star and said, hey, this person WHO MAKES GROSSLY BAD CHOICES in life is about to become my wife.

Ugh. Sorry.

Either Phil's been selling us all a load of crap or he's not raising his kids right.

Or both. Both Dr. Phil and Jay put themselves out there as being all for women, against porn, for families, and you can't do that and then bring a PORN STAR home for dinner.

Unh unh, it's just totally, completely hypocritical hollywood baloney.

I can't go this far. Only when your kids start becoming young adults do you realize that they will do certain things no matter how they were raised. The 20's for alot of people are still maturing/discovering yourself years. There are plenty of things I did in my 20's that my parents wouldn't have approved of and that I wish I hadn't done and have changed since I had kids.It's no reflection on Dr. Phil or his wife. Also Dr. Phil is doing the right thing by at least puclicly supporting the marriage. His son is an adult and he's family. His feelings come before the audience. But I'd love to be a fly on that wall. I'm sure there were some discussions that weren't so easy going. As a mother I'd still think it's wrong if my son made this choice. I think marriage should be sacred. Your spouse should be somebody who you respect and your children can respect. She apparently also made some soft porn movies. How do you explain that to kids. And believe me they will know. Because when they get into 6th or 7th grade some kid will find out and make their lives miserable. Imagine kids friends/fellow school persons being able to see something like that about your mother. It definitely says something when a guy gets rid of a long term gf and decides to marry somebody so different and somebody who has been making choices very different then the ones he was encouraged to make in his own home.

I think what everyone (those who have a problem with this, that is) is saying is that Dr. Phil is a phony because he obviously raised his kid to become someone that would *GASP* marry a Playmate. If his advice worked, obviously Jay would have married a librarian.

No, it's more like, had his advice worked, obviously Jay would have married anybody OTHER than a porn star.

And if my Mother raised me right I would be a thin vivacious lawyer married to an independently wealthy man.
Too bad kids are given the ability to make their own choices and arranged marriages are no longer in style

 

[Maleficent13]

BTW, I googled her, and the only thing in her filmography that would be questionable is she did some Playboy videos. I wouldn't classify those as porn, but then I don't think the magazine is either, but some people do, I guess.

Also, I take umbrage at the persons who are talking about the fact that he has to consider how his kids will feel, how he's marrying the mother of his children, etc. Are you guys saying that these poor triplets (who may or may not have made questionable decisions in their youth) should never think about having kids because, omg, she was in Playboy once?

 

[BostonTigger]

I don't understand what the problem is.

I can't think of one. Except maybe...oh wait...maybe I shouldn't mention that here.

 

[MamaLema]

I would say Dr. Phil is very family values and anti-porn. When he speaks to women trapped in lives that involve this he's usually pretty tough on it. Robin's world revolves around her son. She strikes me as a very conservative mom. I do think that in their family this will bring conflict. I would assume they'll treat their son like the adult he is and accept this woman into their family. But I do think this would be an issue. Sorry, it would be for me as well. I would have a problem with my son marrying a woman who millions of men have seen naked. And who felt the best asset she had was to capitalize on the fact that she and her fellow triplets were gorgeious and looked good naked.

Very well said Tiggeroo

I, as a mom would have a problem with it

 

[Disney Doll]

Well, parents cannot, and should not, choose their children's spouses. I have to admit though that I would not be turning cartwheels if my son got engaged to a former Playboy Playmate.

Hopefully they will be very happy together. Jay's former GF may end up being better off without him, if some of his reasons for marrying the Trip are what I think they are.

 

[Maleficent13]

Ya know, maybe I'm naive (and I'm sure some would say so) but do any of you know this girl? I doubt it. You are assuming because she has a nice *** and big *****, she must be a moron. Come on...why assume dumb because she was a Playmate? Depending on what kind of money they offered, it was probably a good financial opportunity. And why assume Jay's only after T&A? A lot of men (my SO included) wouldn't have a thing to do with a gorgeous blonde if there wasn't something working under the hair.

And imho, alot of high school romances don't work out. Most people grow out of their high school sweethearts once they mature. I know I did. Marrying him would have been a HUGE mistake. Who's to say what happened between Jay and his girlfriend?

 

[Planogirl]

Are those of you who are shocked by this assuming that all children of preachers grow up to be angels? That a "nice" family never produces criminals or porn stars or whatever?

Also, why the porn star bit? Someone earlier said that they could only find Playboy videos listed for her. That isn't porn the last time I checked.

 

[cats7494]

You have go to be kidding, right?

So what you are basically saying is that when our children grow up, if they are raised "right", they will not make mistakes or bad choices... (or choices you as a parent do not agree with?) Oh, please...

I fail to see how Dr. Phil is responsible for the choice of his son to marry this woman.

 

[grlpwrd]

And if my Mother raised me right I would be a thin vivacious lawyer married to an independently wealthy man.
...

OMGoodness, !

Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Tiggeroo]

I think only like two posts on here think Dr. Phil is to blame. The thought is it just me be tough for a conservative family with the values you see on the show to accept this. It's not Dr. Phil's fault. Love your kids no matter what and when they become adults accept their choices and love them anyway. Eventually I really feel most kids discover they have their family's values. But often not til they're in their 30's.

.

When I googled her naqme all I find are a few mainstream B movies and a Playboy playmate video, which is not porn

Lucky SOB...I hope he talks the other two sisters into a 4-way.
