Dr. Phil Defends Nick Gordon Intervention and Calls Him 'Out Of Control'
"I went in to Atlanta to do an interview with Nick Gordon," Dr. Phil told Access Hollywood, "and wound up doing an intervention with Nick Gordon." McGraw said when he arrived for the interview he found that the 25-year-old was "so high, so out of control, abusing alcohol and apparently Xanax." "His lawyers are concerned for his very life, his very well-being and so much so that the ability to sit down and do an interview with him, his ability to sit down and give an interview, it just not an option," he said. "That was the whole purpose of going in, to talk to him about how he feels and what he thinks is going on and all of the history about this whole situation. I get there, he is not capable of giving an interview. He is out of control." "From the time I started interacting with him, he was so animated that he would be talking for a minute, and then he would jump up and run out of the room and knocking people out of the way and pushing people out of the way." Not willing to talk, Gordon's mother eventually spoke with Dr. Phil about what the events leading up to Whitney Houston's daughter being found unconscious in the bathtub. She said the pair got into an argument after attending a party with a friend the night before. "Nick walked away from the argument," she said. "He went to another bedroom to fall asleep, she went up to her room and drew a bath." "Nicholas was able to do CPR on her for 15 minutes. The police arrived, and they didn't help him. No one helped him until the EMTs got there." Dr. Phil is defending his interview turned intervention with Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon.
