In the latest trailer for the upcoming episode of “Dr. Phil” this week, he interviews actress Shelley Duvall and tackles on the sickness she is suffering from today. Fan who have seen the video were not at all happy seeing how Dr. Phil exploited the actress and her mental illness.
Shelley Duvall is best known for her role in the horror movie “The Shining” as Jack Nicholson’s wife and in “Popeye” as Olive Oyl. After more than 10 years, the actress has seen again on the screen to share how her life has been and how is she doing today. The show mentioned that the actress has been living a life of almost isolation. No further details were provided but it is assumed she is suffering from a mental illness.
People on Twitter were quick to share their feelings and sentiments for the actress. They were not pleased with the way “Dr. Phil” exploited her situation by making her answer questions that will ridicule her. In the 30 second teaser, the actress was asked about Robin Williams and she said that he loves him and believes he still exists in a different form.
Clearly, the actress is not in a good state of mind and should not have been exposed in such manner. Daughter of Stanly Kubrick, Vivian, called out the therapist through a letter saying how disappointed she is how the actress is exposed in his episode so she invites everyone to join him in boycotting the episode. As many may know, Stanley Kubrick is the original director of the movie “The Shining” so it's only right that Vivian speaks on behalf of his father.
Shelley Duvall is 67 years old and admits she is suffering from a sickness. She also admitted in the video she has some type of disc on her leg and said “I’m very sick. I need help.”
