March 10 2015, Published 7:33 p.m. ET
Nick Gordon’s emotional Dr. Phil interview is shaping up to be quite the spectacle after Phil McGraw revealed even more dramatic details from his chat with the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown.
The interview was filmed on Mar. 5 in Atlanta, Georgia, with a recently released clip showing just how turbulent the sit-down was for Gordon. In the snippet, a tearful Gordon shares the pain he feels over Bobbi Kristina’s hospitalization and Whitney Houston’s death. He then eventually storms out of the discussion, letting McGraw know he is done talking with him.
While speaking about the taping on Monday, McGraw admitted that Gordon wasn’t in a positive mental state. "He said he had an enormous amount of guilt and pain" McGraw said, describing Gordon’s feelings about Bobbi Kristina’s dire situation.
McGraw also confirmed reports that Gordon checked into a rehab facility immediately after the interview was completed. Speaking on Gordon’s sobriety, McGraw revealed that he was "clearly in an altered state of consciousness. I asked him if he was sober, and he said 'No.'"

Gordon has been the focus of numerous questions since he discovered Bobbi Kristina unresponsive in a bathtub on Jan. 31 in the Georgia home they shared. But he was asked no questions about what happened to Bobbi Kristina during the interview that airs on Wednesday. McGraw said he felt those questions would not have been appropriate for their chat, which is being called an “intervention” by the show.

Several of Bobbi Kristina’s family members have spoken out against the interview airing, including Bobbi Kristina’s aunt Leolah Brown, who slammed the special on her Facebook page. "Dr. Phil, With all due respect, Nick Gordon is under investigation for the attempted murder of my niece Bobby Kristina Brown," the post said. "We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit.”
But McGraw stands by his decision to speak with Gordon on-camera, saying the chat was beneficial and “got him safely tucked away and into rehab." Do you think it was appropriate for Nick to speak about Bobbi Kristina on Dr. Phil? Tweet us @OKMagazine or let us know in the comments section below.
