Shortly after her viral 2016 Dr. Phil appearance, Phil McGraw arranged to have Bregoli's family send her to Turn-About Ranch, a "troubled teen" program in rural Utah. In a video posted Friday, Bregoli detailed the abuse she said she suffered at that program. Bregoli said that during her time at the Utah facility she was deprived of sleep, adequate meals, and warmth. “I’m not really sure why Dr. Phil still sends kids here. It really doesn’t make sense," she said. "Are you trying to help them or are you trying hurt them even more? … Don’t be sending kids somewhere just to make it look like you’re doing something.” She also gave Dr. Phil an April 5 deadline to apologize to her.
