I think Dr. Phil may be credited with dragging Katherine Lester back from the West Bank. She ran there to be with a wannabe terrorist dirt farmer she met on MySpace called “Abdullah Psycho.”

And from what I’ve read from the Dr. Phil transcripts here and here, their so-called relationship isn’t all its cracked up to be.


Stupid girl.


Looking for meal-ticket to USA citizenship.

It seems Abdullah is abusive and disrespectful to Katherine, calling her a whore and a slut, and calling her family members a bitch. And if Katherine refuses to marry him and bring him to the USA, he will find some other gullible girl from the US, marry her, then track Katherine down to kick her ass.

From the show transcripts:

“Your concern is that his agenda is to marry an American,” Dr. Phil says.

“I believe that’s the only reason he’s got her there. He wants to be in America,” Katherine’s great aunt says.

“He told you if he didn’t marry her, he’d find another American girl?”

Tamara says Abdullah told her daughter that if Katherine would not marry him, he’d find another American girl, come to the States and track Katherine down to “whip her ass.”

Dr. Phil asks about the code words that Katherine and her family agreed on, in case she was in trouble but couldn’t communicate it. Mary believes Katherine used part of them over and over in a phone conversation, but Katherine denies this.

“Do you ever talk about the code word in front of him?” Shawn asks.

“No, he doesn’t even know about them,” Katherine says.

“I want to be sure you understand that if and when you feel that you need to get out of there, that I will cause you to have an envoy, an escort, the money to get out of there, and a ticket to get back to the United States,” Dr. Phil tells Katherine. “If you need to get out of there, I will have you picked up, transported and flown back to the United States, and we’re going to provide you a number that you can call to trigger that sequence of events.”

“OK. Thank you. Thank you very much,” Katherine says.

Dr. Phil questions Abdullah about getting his visa papers to join Katherine when she comes home. He’s had two years to do it but hasn’t yet. Abdullah explains that he’s been asking questions at the American Embassy about how to get the right papers, but he hasn’t filled out any forms yet.

“Katherine has always had the demeanor that she is better than everybody else, but with Abdullah, she is very submissive,” Mary says. “I have heard him several times call her a slut, a whore, a no-good, rotten bitch, and she would just listen. She never said a word back.”

“I would like to come home, but does it have to be today or tomorrow? Can it be, like, in a few days?” she asks.

According to this story here, she is back on US soil. I do not know yet what will become of the relationship. We will have to tune in to see.

The series will have a third part that will air in a couple of weeks centering around Lester’s decision to come back to Michigan, said Wade Simpson, a segment producer with the program.

Lester returned to Michigan about a week and a half ago, Simpson said.

Thanks again to Trench for bird dogging this story.
