My daughter, Jessica, is a pathological liar.
When Jessica was 10, she told classmates she was pregnant
and she was not.
She's lied about being pregnant four or five times.
Jessica seems to thrive
with the attention that she gets when she lies.
There was time where she said that she took
an entire bottle of over-the-counter pain pills.
We took her to the hospital, had her checked,
and it turns out that she didn't.
I honestly don't know
whether Jessica is pregnant right now
because she's told us this so many times
and it's proven to not be true.
I'll only believe Jessica when I see a full belly
or a positive pregnancy test.
Okay, I'm gonna ask you some questions
and you're gonna answer them or you're not,
but you're not gonna filibuster and...
I don't have any problem being honest.
Okay. I'm not a pathological liar.
Okay, but... As a kid,
did you not lie as a kid?
Okay, wait a minute, stop.
What are you hiding?
I don't have anything to hide.
Well, then why are you yelling so nonstop?
Because I'm angry, Dr. Phil.
I'm angry.
Do you know how it feels when somebody lies about you
Oh yeah. and tries to make you look
crazy in front of everybody? (laughing)
It's funny. Actually, I do.
But the funny thing is you're gonna be proven
to be the liar today, not me.
Not unless you stop talking.
I'm just angry, Dr. Phil.
Well, okay.
You can't tell me you care about my child when you don't.
You're gonna need to talk to me here for a little bit,
or... Well, let's talk.
Yeah, let's do. I have a lot to say.
Yeah, apparently.
(laughing) Yeah, I do.
I do.
Laugh, it's good that you're laughing.
You won't be in a minute. So, how are you doing?
I'm great. Yup.
My daughter's happy.
You know, we're living life.
Yeah. Could be better
if people didn't leave me in a homeless shelter.
So, how's your life workin' for you?
Currently, not too good.
As you know, like you know.
I don't have any secrets.
We were in a homeless shelter in Vegas.
We did ask for my parents to help us.
I asked for my parents to help us.
Like we all know, kids are innocent.
They don't have any say so in anything.
Why are you in a homeless shelter?
I was in a homeless shelter because I got kicked out
in six inches of snow. No.
Don't, don't...
I'm not talking to you.
You wanna be exposed,
so we're gonna be exposed. Talk to me.
They kicked me out in six inches of snow.
Yes, I did tell them I was a sugar baby.
Yes, I am a sugar baby,
and no, I don't see anything wrong with it.
It pays the bills.
Why are you in a homeless shelter in Vegas?
We are in a homeless shelter in Vegas
because I ended up getting trafficked
when I got kicked out of the house
and agreed to go out and finally meet the guy
because I didn't have anywhere to say.
You think because I...
If you already know I don't have friends,
you really think that it's valid to assume I have
somewhere to go because I all of a sudden have a friend?
You didn't know this person.
You didn't know whether I had anywhere to go or not.
So, you put me in that situation.
You made me vulnerable.
Okay, but you went to Vegas, right?
Yes, I did go to Vegas.
And what was your goal in going to Vegas?
I was promised that I would be made famous.
I was gonna be a model, I was gonna be a dancer,
and most importantly, I was gonna be with somebody
who accepted me for who I am.
Okay, well, I know you're young, but you fell for that?
Come to Vegas, I'm gonna make you famous.
Well, I did fall for that,
and part of the reason I fell for that
is because I'm looking...
I was looking for somebody to care and looking for somebody
who wouldn't turn their back on me and wouldn't judge me.
Okay, well, what...
You tell me you're there because they kicked you
out of the house for being a sugar baby.
They did. But what's your ownership
in being in a homeless shelter in Vegas?
That I was a sugar baby
and my parents didn't agree with that lifestyle.
What's your ownership in it?
I went to Vegas.
I chose to leave after they kicked me out.
And I did because I'm not gonna stay on the street,
which now, I'm back on the street because you put me
and made me vulnerable.
And I got the chance and somebody told me
what I wanted to hear and I took it.
Who wouldn't take that in six inches of snow outside?
Well, now you're...
You're actually trained as a nurse's assistant, right?
I am trained as a CNA, licensed.
VO Tech, I went to school.
So, you're a certified nurse's assistant?
Yes, I am.
So, of which there is a considerable shortage.
So, you're... Yes, there is,
but it doesn't pay enough.
You're immediately employable.
Of course, absolutely,
but employable doesn't mean it pays the bills.
As a single parents of one kid already,
I've been there, did that.
What they didn't tell you, I was working a nine to five
and being a sugar baby when they kicked me out of the house.
So, it doesn't pay the bills.
