Dr. Phil Show Season 15 Episode 80 My Ex-Husband Thinks I Hired a Hitman to Kill Him and Wonders Why I Won't Let Him See Our Kids

  • January 17, 2017

In this episode of the Dr. Phil Show, a woman named Nicole is accused by her ex-husband, Steve, of attempting to hire a hitman to kill him. Steve claims that Nicole had approached a mutual friend and asked him to help her find someone who could carry out the job. According to Steve, he found out about Nicole's plan when the friend came to him and told him what she had said. Steve also states that he has proof of her intentions, including text messages and recordings.

Nicole vehemently denies the allegations, insisting that they are completely untrue and that Steve is making them up out of spite. She says that she has never had any intention of harming Steve in any way and that she loves their children too much to do anything that would hurt them like this. Nicole accuses Steve of trying to turn their kids against her by spreading lies about her and making false accusations.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that Steve claims that Nicole has been keeping their children from him, refusing to let him see them or have any contact with them. He says that he has gone to court in an attempt to get custody or visitation rights, but that Nicole has been fighting him every step of the way. He claims that he has been a good father and that he deserves to have a relationship with his kids.

Nicole, on the other hand, insists that Steve has been abusive and neglectful towards their children in the past and that she is simply trying to protect them from him. She says that she has tried to work things out with him in the past, but that he has always been stubborn and unwilling to compromise. Nicole believes that Steve is only interested in seeing the kids to cause her pain and to manipulate them into believing his lies.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Phil attempts to get to the truth of the situation and to help the couple come to a resolution. He speaks to both Nicole and Steve separately, trying to understand their perspectives and motivations. Dr. Phil also brings in legal and psychological experts to weigh in on the situation and to offer their advice.

As tensions rise and emotions boil over, it becomes clear that there is a lot of hurt and resentment between Nicole and Steve. However, Dr. Phil remains determined to help them find a way to move forward and to create a healthy and safe environment for their children. By the end of the episode, some progress is made, but whether or not Nicole will ever be able to fully clear her name or if Steve will be able to see his children remains to be seen.
