Dr. Phil’s Media Company Ordered to Liquidate After Court Ruling

Published

on

Dr. Phil McGraw’s new media venture has hit a major setback. A U.S. bankruptcy court has ordered his network, Merit Street Media, to be liquidated after finding that the company had “no realistic path to recovery.”

The decision, handed down by Judge Scott W. Everett in Texas, ends months of financial uncertainty surrounding Merit Street, which Dr. Phil launched earlier this year in partnership with Trinity Broadcasting Network. The network was created to feature family-friendly talk shows and lifestyle programming and even served as the new home for Dr. Phil Primetime, his post-syndication television project.

But things quickly took a downturn. Court documents reveal that Merit Street owes more than $180 million to creditors, including the Professional Bull Riders league, which had a multi-year broadcast deal with the company. PBR accused Merit Street of moving its assets into another venture, Envoy Media, just before filing for bankruptcy, a move the court viewed as a bad-faith attempt to shield resources. The ruling converts the company’s bankruptcy filing from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7, meaning a court-appointed trustee will now sell off its assets to pay outstanding debts.

Dr. Phil’s representatives have pushed back on the judgment, saying they “strongly disagree” with the findings and plan to appeal. Despite the legal drama, the television personality still remains a dominant figure across television and digital media and recently teased new projects under his personal brand. For now, though, the once-ambitious Merit Street Media dream seems to have reached its final episode.

Doja Cat spoke about her mental health. In a TikTok video posted on March 13, 2026, the 30-year-old said she is struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and has suffered from the illness for years.

“I’ve learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I’m happy, to pretend that I don’t like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay,” Doja Cat said. “I’ll get it done. And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I’m now struggling with BPD.”

Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that causes people to have a distorted self-image and often experience unstable relationships with others. Symptoms can include uncontrollable emotions, fear of abandonment, impulsivity.

The Mayo Clinic describes the mental illness as a pattern of intense emotional swings and acting impulsively that can impact relationships and decision-making. The “Woman” singer went on to say that she’s been in therapy for years. “I’ve been in therapy for years now, and I am so proud of myself, I’ve made it so far,” She said that she goes to therapy to make sure she’s “alright.” She continued “It’s been a process of me learning about myself.”

She ended the post by noting that seeing others confidently express themselves, including singer Chappell Roan has inspired her to do the same, “I had to learn how to be honest with myself because I lied to myself for years,” Doja added. To see someone be like that and not hurt anybody, it lets me know that I can be that way too.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Representative Responds to ‘Deranged’ Claims by British Biographer

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have publicly responded to claims made in a new biography by British author Tom Bower, dismissing the book’s content as unfounded and misleading. Their representative described the work as crossing “the line from criticism into fixation” and called it a “deranged conspiracy,” emphasising that many of the claims are speculative and not based on verifiable facts.

The biography, Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, was published in The Times on 13 March 2026. It examines the Sussexes’ relationships with senior members of the British royal family and their activities since stepping back from senior royal duties in 2020.

Excerpts from the book claim that Queen Camilla referred to Meghan Markle as having “brainwashed” Prince Harry, and suggest that her influence contributed to tensions between the Duke of Sussex and other family members. The biography also asserts that Harry became more distant from friends and altered his communications following his marriage, while expressing concerns over his elder brother’s potential actions against him in the wake of controversies involving other family members.

The book critiques the couple’s involvement with the Invictus Games, implying that media coverage of their public profile sometimes overshadowed the event’s focus on competitors. In response, the Sussexes’ representative rejected these suggestions, and the Invictus Games Foundation reaffirmed that the event remains focused on supporting recovery and rehabilitation for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel.

Buckingham Palace and representatives of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, have not commented on the book or its claims, in keeping with longstanding policies regarding unauthorised biographies.

Harry and Meghan, who now reside in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, continue to pursue independent media, philanthropic, and business projects. Their spokesperson’s statement insist on the couple’s ongoing position of challenging narratives they consider inaccurate or sensationalised, highlighting their intent to protect both their personal and professional reputations.

The interview also discusses her rise to fame. Jenner first became widely known through the reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which introduced her to international audiences at a young age. By her early twenties she had built a large social-media following, which supported the growth of her cosmetics business and other partnerships.

Jenner is the mother of two children, daughter Stormi and son Aire, whom she shares with rapper Travis Scott. Speaking about the future in the Vanity Fair interview, she said she still hopes to expand her family.

“I  want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids, enjoying my kids,” Jenner said, before adding, “and then, I do want to have more kids.”

The spread has sparked online discussion. Some fans praised the styling in the photoshoot, while others questioned the magazine’s portrayal of the reality star as a major cultural figure.

Regardless of the response, the feature reflects the continued public attention surrounding Jenner.
