Dr. Phil has slammed reports he's been bankrolling accused murderer Jodi Arias' family, calling the accusations "absolutely untrue."

The talk show host has been accused of paying for Arias' relatives to stay in Arizona during the trial in exchange for notes taken in court.

However in a statement on his Twitter page the celebrity psychologist says the claims made by Chris Stark, a former Casey Anthony and Big Brother blogger, are completely fabricated.

"I've never met the Arias family, and neither I, nor my…production company - has paid or promised them anything," he wrote on his social networking page. "Robin and I are praying for the Alexander family."

Stark made the accusations on Saturday when she too took to Twitter to point the finger at Dr. Phil.

"Dr Phil Production Company is paying for #JodiArias Family living expenses," Stark wrote. "Hotel and food TRAVEL for the last 94 days in Arizona.
