Bhad Bhabie has demanded an apology from TV therapist Dr. Phil, after allegedly being abused at the teenage bahavioral camp she was sent to after appearing on his show.

The 17-year-old rapper, real name Danielle Bregoli, was sent to Utah's Turn-About Ranch aged 13, after Dr. Phil recommended to her parents that she needed a stay there following an appearance on his U.S. TV program.

Bregoli went public with the allegations in a video on YouTube, titled 'Breaking Code Silence', in which she claimed that she'd waited before making the accusations because she has no proof.

"That's the thing with these places, you have no evidence," she began. "You don't have a phone there, there's no cameras there, you don't have evidence of any of this."

However, she was inspired to speak out after another woman, Hannah Archuleta, filed a lawsuit in Utah's 6th District Court recently, alleging that she had been sexually assaulted multiple times in 2019 by a male staff member at Turn-About Ranch.

Bregoli then addressed Dr. Phil directly, saying: "Dr. Phil, I am going to give you from now until 5 April to issue an apology, not only to me, but to Hannah or any other child you sent to Turn-About or any other program like this, and if you don't I'm going to handle things my way."

Dr. Phil has yet to respond to Bregoli's accusations.

Going on to recount her own experience at the ranch, Bregoli said she was taken there "against my will" in the middle of the night, with "transporters" allegedly handcuffing her to make sure she was restrained for the journey there.

Once she arrived, she was apparently put into an open tipi, and claims she wasn't allowed to shower or lie down for the first three days.

"This place is all about taking away privileges. Like OK yeah, the phone is a privilege, the TV all that, yeah," she explained. "They take away necessity privileges like sleeping on a bed, good food, not being cold."

And even complaining to staff about other people at the camp, or concerns for their safety, often led to punishments, which often included manual labor.

"I'm not really sure why Dr. Phil still sends kids here, it really doesn't make sense," Bregoli concluded. "Are you trying to help them or are you trying to hurt them even more? I mean we all know he's a phony as it is, but like, don't be sending kids somewhere just to make it look like you're trying to do something."
