My Newsmaking Nightmare

Have you ever wondered what happens to the people involved in tragic newsmaking stories after the spotlight is gone? Dr. Phil hears three stories of people struggling with the aftermath of having a dark moment in their lives reported on in the news. Sisters Ashley, Ebony, and Fallon say their lives were turned upside down when their younger brother, Jerome, was, according to them, falsely convicted of murder. Now, they say they can't figure out how to move forward. Then, Ian and Colleen say they are stuck after Ian was dubbed a hero for intervening in a shooting that tragically ended with one man losing his life. Ian says he has been struggling with feelings of guilt, grief, and frustration ever since, and that they have haunted even his happiest moments. And, Nancy says she thought she had dealt with her past sexual abuse and trauma but that it all came flooding back when she read a news article and saw that the person who she claims abused her was arrested for abusing other children – something she says she feels immense guilt over and even questions if she should be held responsible. Can Dr. Phil help these guests navigate their complex emotions and unusual circumstances?
