Hannah Archuleta was 17 in 2019 when she appeared on Dr. Phil McGraw's show with her parents. According to the lawsuit, McGraw and staff members of his show allegedly pressured the family to immediately send Archuleta to Turn-About Ranch in Escalante, Utah, for treatment, after she expressed suicidal thoughts. Archuleta alleges she was groped twice by an unnamed male staff member at the ranch, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit also hints at a financial arrangement between McGraw and the ranch. But a spokesperson for McGraw says: "None of the defendants in this case had anything to do with her program at that facility, as documents signed by the Archuletas reflect."
