Phillip Phillips loves his family - Current Connection Feb 11

     In this article, the author states that Phillip Phillips has cut off his family. I completely disagree. In the article it says, "We're told Phillip Phillips' family has reached out multiple times to the singer for financial help since he hit it big, but Phil has blown them off" (http://www.tmz.com/2013/01/04/justin-bieber-marijuana-pot-blunt-smoking-picture-photo/). I am a huge Phillip Phillips fan, I follow him on all the major social networking websites and he still keeps in contact with his family. Phillip has such a big heart and he would never cut off his family, especially from the people that are such a big part of his life. The article also says, "the family's especially hurt by the singers radio silence -- since they spent a ton of money on travel expenses so they could see Phillip compete on 'Idol'". On Twitter, Phillip always tweets family members about how much he loves them and misses them when he's away. I have come in personal contact with Phillip myself more than once and he is a nice person.  I could never imagine him disconnecting from his family. Phillip's actions do not match the author's statements. I find this information hard to believe.

     The author of this article clearly has no idea what he is talking about.  In the article, it says "Phil has blown them off". On almost all of his big shows, Phillip brings his family and girlfriend to watch him and support him.  In most of his interviews he talks about his family support and how much he appreciates them.  Another statement in the article says, "We made multiple calls to Phillip Phillips over several days -- but our calls were not returned".  On 'American Idol' the producers took several of the finalists to TMZ to show them how their words could be twisted and changed.  That could be why Phillip didn't return TMZ's calls.  There are two sides to every story and Phillip's story could be completely different.  His family's side of the story could also be very different, considering TMZ is known for switching people's words around.  I am a huge fan of Phillip Phillips and I know for a fact he did not cut his family off from himself or financial support.  I completely disagree with the author.
