New York City has ended its legal fight with producer Jordan McGraw, the son of TV’s “Dr. Phil” McGraw, reaching a settlement Friday that clears the way for the release of a reality show he’s making about the New York Police Department.
Under the agreement, the city will retain editorial control over the show, titled “Behind the Badge,” after accusing Jordan McGraw and his production company, McGraw Media, of trying to wrest it away. McGraw Media will provide “rough cuts” of episodes to the NYPD and will incorporate its edits into the finished version for the show, hosted by “Dr. Phil,” a clinical psychologist turned TV personality.
McGraw Media agreed to remove all content from the documentary-style series that the department designates as inaccurate or confidential, that the NYPD is legally prohibited from releasing, that reveals investigatory techniques or that would otherwise compromise public safety or the public trust.
