Dr. Phil set out to scoop Oprah — the woman who discovered him — on a huge show … even warning his staff to keep Oprah in the dark.
TMZ has obtained legal docs filed in a lawsuit against Dr. Phil for allegedly defaming two men in the Natalee Holloway case — the girl who disappeared in Aruba.
We placed a call to Dr. Phil’s rep. So far … no comment.
Oprah had scheduled to do an exclusive interview with Natalee’s mom, Beth on Sept. 20, 2005. But Phil had been working as well to snag the same interview, when he found out Oprah was in the game.
