Dr. Phil Begs TikTok Followers To Stop Calling Him 'Daddy'

Dr. Phil Begs TikTok Followers To Stop Calling Him ‘Daddy’

“I hate to break it to you,” Phil McGraw said, “but I ain’t your daddy, and your real daddy is probably getting his feelings hurt.”

Dr. Phil McGraw popped up on TikTok on Thursday to pop off to his followers who keep calling him “Daddy.”

It seems that a lot of people who follow his posts refer to him as “Daddy” in the comments and he’s apparently annoyed.

So as part of the app’s popular “you have to stop” posts, McGraw asked his TikTok fans to cease the patriarchal nicknames when commenting on his posts.

“I hate to break it to you, but I ain’t your daddy, and your real daddy is probably getting his feelings hurt,” McGraw said. “I appreciate the support — it’s a little weird, but I appreciate the support.”

#YouHaveTo stop calling me “daddy.” I ain’t ya daddy.

And because this is the internet, everyone immediately respected his wishes ― not!

If he knew anything about human psychology ... he might have predicted this

Of course, perhaps he did and it's just another publicity stunt!
