From the numerous “Be@rbrick” collectibles and figure of a cigarette-smoking rabbit to its Tim Burton-esque staircase, the home quickly became the butt of countless Dr. Phil jokes.
That's one tacky house. Dr Phil needs an intervention.

Sure, I have questions about Dr. Phil's house. We all do. But specifically, I want to know what's happening here. Is that cocaine that's been spilled on the floor or is it part of the tile or what? pic.twitter.com/rQxtvPOmZU

He went on to clarify that "the property is held in the McGraw Family Trust, irrevocably," and does not belong solely to the TV host himself.
