Paula says her 19-year-old daughter, Kylie, is on a path of self-destruction. She says Kylie developed an eating disorder at 12 years old and for the last seven years, the teen has been spinning dangerously out of control. Paula says Kylie abuses drugs and alcohol -- and recently started appearing in adult movies. Kylie admits her modeling dreams took a dark turn when she started performing in adult films, but she blames her mom for her bad choices. Kylie claims that Paula is an alcoholic, has stolen her prescription pills, and is responsible for introducing her to binging and purging. Kylie also accuses Paula of encouraging her to appear in adult films, driving her to two shoots and getting her tested for STDs. Paula denies all of Kylie’s claims. Who is telling the truth? Then, Kylie’s father, Cory, joins the show. Is he making Kylie’s problems better -- or worse? If you’re the parent of a troubled teen, tune in!

While I understand Kylie, an adult needs to make wiser life choices, I think it’s important to factor in her childhood experiences.
Kylie grew up with a mother who abuses alcohol, suffers from an eating disorder and, at best, sent confusing messages to Kylie about body image, relationship with food, alcohol use, love and self-worth. During the show, it was impossible for anyone on stage to finish what they had to say because the mother would cut in and talk over others. There was also mental health concerns about the father (OCD?) and he was not a positive influence in Kylie’s life
Kylie is a by-product of unhealthy parenting. Whatever intervention or treatment Kylie will receive, I hope she can finally learn to be free from her parents’ toxic behaviours.

I so love Dr. Phil for helping these women. He is truly a saint! I love him so much!

You say, "Her development has stopped at 12". I say Boo Hoo!. What if her mother's development stopped at 12? What if her father's development stopped at 12? Again boo hoo. You wouldn't give a crap about her parents having stunted development because they're adults...well so is she now and the World is stuck with her. She needs to be made accountable for her own actions because she won't develop beyond 12 if people keep making excuses for her and don't let her own her choices. She's like Casey Anthony, a spoilt brat who when expected to look after her "responsibilities" takes the easy out and then blames someone else.

I agree with you, that 19yr old was making up 90% of what she said. As a person who had a horrible childhood, I know if I sat across from the people who "raised" me, I would not be laughing like a moron and looking around to see everyone's reaction while they get grilled. I would be uncomfortable in the same room as them. I have no doubt she was also on some type of substance there and she needs to grow up, because her parents won't be accountable for her crap choices in the real world (i.e. outside her and Dr Phil's minds). Seems Dr Phil never was very good at solving the "issues" of teenagers on his show- starting with Alex who still tries to blame her parents because Dr Phil made that an OK thing to do (except she won't take the blame for what she does to her kids now). A vicious cycle.

As I said above, she is not a baby. She is a 19yr old adult who chooses to do things and blame her parents. That will only work for so long...do you think you would have sympathy for her mother blaming her parents for the way she is? Doubt it. That 19yr old lady sat there grinningand laughing like a clown while blaming her mother and Dr Phil didn't even notice. Clearly only there for sympathy and free advertising. As far as her lying, she kept saying things and then looking around and not looking at Dr Phil or her mother. When she blamed her father for her losing weight in his house, that was another obvious lie. Her blaming her mother for her choice to do pornography (because her mother expected her to get a JOB) was a cop out which Dr Phil joined in on too.

I believe the daugher did not have good role models, but can start making smart decisions. I hope all 3 get the help they need to be a far better family.

I rarely disagree with Dr. Phil but while watching this show I was ready to climb through my tv and scream at him! This girl is 19 and in my opinion, 19 is old enough to know better! Regardless of what your parents done while you were growing up, once you reach a certain age you know the difference between right and wrong. If her mother taught her the habits of having an eating disorder, is an alcoholic, and her dad does drugs with her, not good role models by any means but she is old enough to know better at her age!
And I was waiting for Dr. Phil to tell her.... "If you don't want to be doing porn, why are you?! You are the only one who can make the decision to be in that line of work. Your mother kicking you out of her house is no excuse either. There are others ways to earn a paycheck than the porn industry!" But he never told her that either.

At first I was thinking the mom was bad and up to no good but as the show went on I realized the daughter is a little schemer. I don't think mom and dad are great but that daughter has a mind of her own. She will be the little scheming witch she wants to be because Dr. Phil will be in her corner. I can't believe he let her off so easy. She's 19. She's an adult. She needs to act like one. If she doesn't want to do porn then no one is making her. She's a liar and will keep on lying until someone (not Dr. Phil) puts her in her place.
