Loa Angeles ? “Dr. Phil” McGraw stated in e-mails that he had “no expertise” in making the diet pills he endorsed, according to court filings in a lawsuit alleging the TV psychologist made false statements about the products.

McGraw also insisted on “the STRONGEST of disclaimers” in the products’ advertisements before putting his name on the now discontinued Shape Up! diet campaign, the New York Daily News reported Monday, citing e-mail printouts that are included in Los Angeles Superior Court filings.

“This fleshes out our position that Dr. Phil was in charge … he was rewriting the commercials,” said lawyer Henry Rossbacher, who filed the lawsuit against McGraw in 2004 on behalf of three unhappy customers.

McGraw has denied the allegations.

Shape Up! shakes, bars and multivitamins made by Irving, Texas-based CSA Nutraceuticals were sold in supermarkets and discount stores. The plan called for 22 pills daily at $120 a month. CSA Nutraceuticals agreed to stop making the supplements early last year as it faced a Federal Trade Commission investigation into false-advertising concerns.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking class-action status to include thousands of potential plaintiffs.
