The bombshell text in Dr. Phil Case seems to reveal Brazen and the “problematic “bankruptcy plan” plan that launches new media companies

According to recent court documents, text messages found in the controversial legal battle involving Merit Street media revealed executives at the company led by Dr. Phil McGraw, trying to hide the bankruptcy “plan” to transfer assets and employees to new media businesses.

Trinity Broadcasting sued Performance Street and Dr. Phil for a “year-old fraud plan” a week later in an effort to “Wool TBN” in a $500 million deal, Christian broadcasters filed an emergency motion seeking sanctions on Dr. Phil’s production company Peteski Poprations to prevent Peteski Poptiens from producing discovery materials in a disruptive case of performance.

The sports league professional bull rider owned by TKO joins TBN, which claims he owes $181 million after breaching a four-year contract. PBR included text messages from Merit Street COO Joel Cheatwood in its separate joining documents, which claimed to prove Performance Street, Dr. Phil orchestrated the bankruptcy as part of the plot to form a new media company.

“The documents produced so far show that this bankruptcy is a plan to transfer the debtor’s employees and intellectual property to Enkoy, a day before the case was established by Dr. Phil, who puts the debtor’s business as a shell, putting the duplicate attorney’s lawyers in the application.”

The latest outbreak in the dramatic legal drama is less than two months old, after the launch of the “Breaking Back” cable channel, and following the “Bankruptcy” filing for bankruptcy, its issuing partner TBN is allegedly “trying to “destroy and seal the new, but has gained a nationally renowned network.”

Despite performance insistence that it was a debt of Trinity, the Christian media giant fired Phil and accused him of accusing him of “reproachable behavior” by creating a “false sense of urgency” so that the strong weapon TBN paid the magazine to pay the magazine’s television experts and its company’s companies, which barely invested in their investments, and none of them could be invested.

PBR has opposed the bankruptcy proceedings, so an emergency motion was filed earlier this month to demand that the court force further document production, while also accusing Dr. Phil of “malice” of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

In the filing, PBR argues that Peteski and Morit Street avoided discovery, so the Career League also claimed that Dr. Phil “beautifully planned” bankruptcy to avoid “sincere lawsuits” against his financial obligations and “jumped” a new media company. Less than two weeks after the performance filing bankruptcy, Dr. Phil publicly announced that he was launching Envoy Media, the motion notes formed the day before Chapter 11 submission.

TBN said in an emergency filing this week that it sought a hearing Wednesday afternoon to seek financial sanctions, and he said Petski’s failure to hand over the discovery materials and documents, which made it seriously prepared for Dr. Phil’s statement, scheduled for Thursday. While the court has not decided on a motion as of Thursday morning, McGraw did show his scheduled testimony.

“Through its own recognition, in a meeting between lawyers on August 26, 2025, Peteski still did not generate all emails and text messages from Phillip C. McGraw (although his deposition plan started in less than 48 hours since the beginning of this meeting), nor did he produce the content of corporation of corporation offering Broadcaster that produced all of these documents.” “Peteski’s delay strategy remains. This pattern is so surprising that it is merely déjàvu; it is a deliberate reread written by the scripts of the parties who believe that the court’s orders are optional guidance, not restraining instructions.”

TBN also accused Dr. Phil of “exerting control of Peteski and strategically limiting his production, hoping that Trinity and PBR will be able to cancel or postpone his deposition, adding that he “delayed and limited the production of critical documents directly related to his testimony, making it impossible for him to question him altogether unless the deposition was moved. ”

According to Dr. Phil’s discovery game skills, TBN and PBR are also seeking a “short recess” for the upcoming bankruptcy hearing on September 2 and may reschedule McGraw’s deposition as well as attorney fees.

While TBN and PBR accused Dr. Phil and his lawyer of intentionally blocking and postponing discovery, the Bulls Alliance stressed in joining Foarfore on Tuesday that the text messages they received involving street executives on merit were very revealing.

Just before Performance Street filed for bankruptcy, Memorandum Wood texted other good employees, namely, “Current Mind, just obtained approval from our attorneys and bankruptcy consultants”, to reduce the network’s business to “no live news, no new news. Only any new production listings, only eight hours of playlists – repeating 8 hours, including the current show.”

Phil added that Dr. Phil hopes “if someone can push the game and finish it…it will be perfect,” the memo goes on to explain that a small percentage of meritorious employees will be “stayed” to run the network. Meanwhile, he pointed out that they “will be on the way to stand Newco [i.e.,Envoy] After submission, “Choose” will resign immediately and join Newco at that time. ”

Preparation Wood also noted that as long as it is “operated”, a small group of employees technically maintain their merits, but they also signed a “consultation agreement”[s]”With the Envoy.” Once MSM is in trouble, this may work, with asset auctions going on, and Newco will bid for the MSM program library. ” he said in a text message.

“The debtor and its executives knew that the envoy plan was problematic and tried to cover it up by using only personal emails and texts,” PBR stated in the filing. “On June 30 (two days before bankruptcy), the memorandum Mr. Wood directed a colleague, ‘any communication involving event time, strategy, etc. We do not need to use the Merit Street Email System. Use text instead.’

Additionally, the day after the Merits filed for bankruptcy, Cheat Wood reiterated the instructions, telling another colleague that any “email that includes discussing Newco or related strategies can be used for everyone’s personal email.”

In the coming weeks, the memo said he and Ken Solomon, CEO of Worth Street, had to be “very cautious because we are still full and active staff and our public activities are very cautious”, adding that any “any”[a]It may be problematic to show that our focus on the envoy is likely to be questioned. ”

He also said in an article that he faced a “difficulty” that he was “advised not to do anything to show attachment to the envoy” because he was the only remaining official of the merits.

“It’s nothing more than a strategy to continue transparent and highly coordinated, which is to try to exploit media interest in this situation to damage the value of excellent street media through mean false claims,” ​​a spokesperson for Peteski told Peteski. independent. “Peteski provides a lot of and complete information through the pretrial discovery process related to TBN and PBR claims, but every time we do so, they demand increasingly marginalized material. The strategy aims to increase the cost of this bankruptcy and starve administratively and has led to lawyers in the street media in anticipation of evidence from September 2-3.
