The pair oversaw multiple decorating and design projects in Dr. Phil’s Beverly Hills mansion throughout recent years.
Among their claim, they allege the McGraws’ agreed to promote their skin care line on Dr. Phil’s show — but failed to do so — and that Robin often took public credit for the company’s design work.
