A Girl (Supposedly) Pregnant With Baby Jesus
- Photo:
One guest who has been featured multiple times on Dr. Phil is a teen girl named Haley (her last name has not been released). Haley was adamant that she was nine months pregnant, despite pregnancy tests and doctors telling her otherwise.
What's more, Haley confidently stated she was giving birth to baby Jesus.
Dr. Phil arranged for Haley to get an ultrasound, which revealed that she was not with child. Of course, that didn't stop Haley from still believing she was pregnant. Haley also had plenty of other exciting thoughts and beliefs. She claimed rapper Eminem was her father and that she'd been a contestant on American Idol. Her family (and some common sense) refuted both statements.
Haley ended up going to a treatment facility courtesy of Dr. Phil, but the experience didn't seem to help her much. She did finally come clean about the pregnancy on another episode (she said she just had stomach gas), but she grieved as though she'd suffered a miscarriage.
