November 2, 2015
Bridget says she’s worried that her 38-year-old brother-in-law, Kevin, may be having an inappropriate relationship with her 16-year-old daughter, Grace. She says Kevin visits and spends alone time with Grace as often as four times a week, and that a red flag was raised when Grace told her that Kevin put whipped cream on his neck and asked her to lick it off — which Kevin claims not to remember. Kevin strongly denies having an inappropriate relationship with his niece and claims that he’s just trying to be a father figure since Grace’s dad passed away. Bridget admits she’s not sure what to believe, but her sister, Tami, says that she thinks Kevin acts like more than a friend, claiming that he has even given Grace a secret cell phone so they can communicate with each other. Tami says she thinks Bridget and Kevin’s wife, Carrie, are in denial about their relationship.

She says that living with sight, to her, felt like living in a personal prison. She claims that seven years ago, she traveled 19 hours by train to visit a “sympathetic” psychologist whom she met online, and allowed him to pour liquid drain cleaner into both of her eyes. In a Dr. Phil daytime exclusive, hear why Jewel says she felt she had no choice but to take her vision, and hear the bombshell claim she drops about removing one of her eyes!
