Danielle Bregoli on ‘Dr. Phil’

Dr. Phil’s fans and friends probably remember Danielle Bregoli’s appearance on the talk show. When Bregoli’s mother brought her on Dr. Phil she was a thirteen-year-old girl who enjoyed stealing cars and was known for her very violent tendencies. Her attitude and sass was extremely evident. On the 2016 episode that featured Bregoli Dr. Phil was seen on screen trying to break through to the troubled teen.

He explained to Bregoli that he believed her actions, behavior, and attitude were all wayward forms of self-defense mechanisms. Though it seems like the professional’s words and message were getting through to Bregoli, it wasn’t without her having some trademark moments and one that would end up leading Bregoli to be a viral sensation. 

‘Cash Me Outside’ girl became a viral sensation 

Bregoli’s mother sought outside help because she claimed her daughter had become “ungovernable” and “out of control.” Dr. Phil did his best to get to the heart of the matter, but Bregoli’s time on the show is often best remembered from one of her trademark reactions. Bregoli’s attitude and demeanor began to escalate when the conversation began to go in a direction she didn’t approve of, and, like she so often was used to, began threatening violence, fighting, and other extremities. After the audience began laughing and snickering at her responses she popped off with, “cash me outside.” Bregoli’s iconic remark went viral, and the teenager became a trending sensation overnight. 

Is Bhad Bhabie the ‘Cash Me Outside’ girl from ‘Dr. Phil’? 

It has been five years since Bregoli’s appearance on Dr. Phil, and a lot has happened since then. Interestingly enough, many people have been wondering if Bregoli is the face behind the relatively new artist Bhad Bhabie, and, simply put, she sure is. Entrepreneur shared Bregoli’s journey after her time on Dr. Phil and how it led her exploring a career as a female rapper. In 2017 she released her first single, “These Heaux.” Due to her “cash me outside” clout, the song got a good amount of praise and attention.

Shortly after, Bregoli found herself getting signed to Atlantic Records. She has produced and released one album and several other singles and remixes. Hits like “That’s What I Said” embody the celebrity’s signature personality. The star has kept her fans and followers updated on her YouTube channel, and it definitely only seems like the beginning for Bhad Bhabie. Many people may have been quick to judge Bregoli based on her time on Dr. Phil, but her Bhad Bhabie persona is here to set the record straight.
