(CNN)"The Shining" star Shelley Duvall has made some disturbing comments during an appearance on "Dr. Phil."

A clip released from the show features Duvall telling the talk-show host, "I'm very sick, I need help."

Duvall, 67, acted opposite big names such as Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" and Robin Williams in "Popeye" in the 1970s and 1980s.

he was last seen in the 2002 comedy "Manna From Heaven."

Duvall now says she does not believe her former co-star Williams is really dead but is "shape shifting." (Williams committed suicide in 2014.)

"Do you see him?" Dr. Phil asked her in a clip.

"Have, yes" Duvall replied.

She also talks during the interview of being threatened and having a disc implanted in her leg.

"The man who's threatening me is the Sheriff of Nottingham," Duvall said.

The "Dr. Phil" episode featuring Duvall will air Friday.

I bet the Dr. Phil folks were really upset that this news got out.   :pickle:

 
Seems like Dr. Phil is a bit of a scumbag for exploiting someone else's mental illness.
If he would have filmed this and not shown it until after she got some treatment. A before and after. That would have been a great show.

But no, Dr. Phil is a real sleazeball

 
Kubrick probably told her he faked the moon landing and would secretly reveal it in The Shining but that she couldn't tell a soul.  Tough burden carrying that type of secret.

If Shelley didn't sign a release of info, we have a HIPAA violation. I'm thinking she signed a release. As to whether she knows what she signed is the question as she obviously isn't with it. At least he's paying for all her physical and mental needs, and she's accepted. I wish her well. MI is horrible and add to it someone in bad health on top, :(

She doesn't seem competent enough to have given permission for it to air. Or maybe she didn't realise the cameras were there. Who knows. I'm thinking yes she reached out for help, but maybe she didn't realise this was going to air for the world to see.

Her family obviously asked for help.  Also, I doubt there is any HiPAA violation.  Dr. McGraw is not her health care provider.  He talked to her and offered her the assistance of doctors.  He always states that he is not the doctor of those he interviews and cannot provide a definitive diagnosis.

 
I question the hysterics of a celeb long lost to the spotlight as much as the oh-say-can-you-see-me polemics of an athlete from whom the light had pointed away.
