Bhad Barbie revealed that she only found out the truth about her infamous Dr Phil appearance at 19.

The now-21-year-old - whose real name is Danielle Bregoli - shot to stardom in 2016 after her appearance on the talk show Dr. Phil.

In her episode - titled 'I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime' - then-13-year-old Bregoli told members of the audience to "cash me outside".

Watch the moment below:

The episode propelled the rapper, who is now a mom-of-one, to viral status.

She signed a deal with Atlantic Records after breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 with her song, 'These Heaux', and ended up securing deals with beauty brands and getting her own reality TV show on TMZ.

She also launched an OnlyFans account on her 18th birthday and managed to make an enormous $18 million in her first month on the site - April 2021 - from the wave of subscribers flocking to join.

Last April, the social media star appeared on model Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, HighLow With Em Rata, to discuss her swift rise to fame.

Bregoli revealed to the model that her notorious appearance on the talk show has made her dislike confrontation. "Growing up in a house where it was only me and my mother [Barbara Bregoli] in it, I was a very confrontational person at the time," she said.

"And I [went online and] was like, 'Who the f*** you think you talking to?!' Like, I'm going in on everybody. Like, 'You don't f***ing know me,'" she told Ratajkowski. "That's why, like now, I'm such an unconfrontational person, like, I really hate to be in the mix. I hate to be in bull***t."

"Even my boyfriend, he love being confrontational, so I be like 'No just calm down it's okay. Please leave him alone," she added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Bregoli candidly opened up about her relationship with her mom, describing her as a "narcissist" who had been emailing Dr. Phil for about 10 years before they were finally accepted onto the show, something she only discovered the truth on her 19th birthday.

"I actually found out on my 19th birthday that my mom had been emailing Dr. Phil since I was two years old," she revealed. "My mom is a very narcissistic person and, you know narcissists, they like a crowd - figuratively and literally, they like a crowd. Because they feel like, 'Well I can't convince the people who really know me, so I can convince others of whatever narrative I want to play.'"

Bregoli then quipped that she would one day put her mom in a nursing home, saying: "I'mma tell 'em her a** got dementia. She can't have no phone, she can't have nothing. Lock her in a room."

"At the end of the day, I get the last laugh every time, so it's cool," she added.
