Before adopting her “Bhad Bhabie” rapper persona, Bregoli appeared on “Dr. Phil” after her mother, Barbara Ann Bregoli, reached out to the show about her daughter’s rebellious behaviors at home.
Barbara said at the time, “My daughter is out of control.” The teen was seen in the segment stealing a car to visit a boy’s house. Her mother also revealed, “When Danielle gets mad, she explodes. She’s actually thrown my iPad twice on the floor. Danielle has run away a good 10 times. Three times in the same day.”
In the viral moment that skyrocketed her to household name status, Bregoli exclaimed, “Catch me outside, how ’bout that!?’ after calling out audience members for “laughing like something’s funny” during the conversation with her mother and Dr. Phil. Afterwards, she jumped out of her seat and challenged her mother, “Flip me now!” after her mom recalled, “I flipped you,” in response to her daughter’s bravado about her ability to fight.
