Last night, Dr. Phil (yes, him—of Oprah fame) dropped by The Late Late Show, where James Corden asked the TV personality regarding his professional opinion on Kanye West, based on his recent tweets. (A very quick recap: in the past few months, Kanye has tweeting a lot, with streams of tweets about Wiz Khalifa, his many album changes, his debt, and an assortment of other topics.)
“You can’t be wrong that many times in a row unless you’re working at it,” responded Dr. Phil. But, without delving much deeper into Kanye’s psyche, Dr. Phil blames our society’s tendency to overshare. “Now, you say something stupid,” he continued, “It just goes wall-to-wall. They’re reading it in China in five seconds, so it just goes all over the place. You used to be stupid and get away with it.”
It was probably a very good move by Dr. Phil for his career by not confirming a diagnosis based on a person’s tweets, and instead, just blame society. Watch what he has to say about Kanye above.
