Copyright case (2017)

Allegations of Hostile Work Environment
In February 2022, around a dozen current and former Dr. Phil employees accused McGraw of mistreating people involved with his show. Speaking anonymously with Buzzfeed News, these people claimed that they experienced "verbal abuse in a workplace that fosters fear, intimidation, and racism." Seven current employees also claimed the show's guests are often brought onto the show when they’re already in a vulnerable state, and are manipulated and treated unethically. Attorneys for McGraw and his co-producer Carla Pennington categorically denied every allegation made. However, a spokesperson for ViacomCBS told Variety, among other things, that "creating safe and inclusive working environments is a top priority" and that “We encourage any employee who believes that they or others within the company have been treated unfairly to report it without a fear of retaliation. We take seriously all such reports.” 2601:447:4000:220:5EB:69E8:5A8B:EAF7 (talk) 23:01, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

The libel about Sexy Vegan under the controversy section is made up by a known Sexy Vegan hater named Petsemetary, please delete it and block Petsematary
For starters the reference listed is not credible and in addition to that if you read the referenced source it does not say the made up libel Petsemetary claimed, this user has repeatedly done this kind of thing, he created an entire article on Sexy Vegan just to bash him with made up stuff. 2601:586:CA80:B260:5401:35C8:6A93:210D (talk) 09:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

No mention of controversies in lead?
Per WP:LEAD, The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies.

I'm not going to, but I recommend someone take a try at writing an appropriate bit about his controversies for the lead. I'd argue the controversies receive such extensive coverage that them not appearing in the lead is strange. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 21:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
