New York City and Dr. Phil’s son resolve dispute over NYPD reality show
The settlement requires McGraw Media to submit rough cuts and accept edits to protect NYPD confidentiality and public safety, allowing up to 17 episodes annually.
- On Friday, New York City reached a settlement with producer Jordan McGraw, clearing the way for his NYPD reality show "Behind the Badge" under strict city editorial control.
- The city sued McGraw in January, accusing McGraw Media of endangering undercover officers by including unblurred footage and identities of sensitive personnel in rough cut episodes.
- Under the settlement, McGraw Media must submit all episodes for review and remove content that "would otherwise compromise public safety or the public trust," per the agreement.
- According to the settlement agreement, McGraw Media has already edited the first four episodes to city specifications, with feedback on the next two due next week and the final three by April 16.
- The production contract, signed under former Mayor Eric Adams in April 2025, originally allowed McGraw Media to produce up to 17 episodes per year, though the city retained the right to opt out.
