Tyler Bowling might seem cocky as he has filed a lawsuit alleging that CBS' The Doctors," tricked him into appearing on-air for a surgery to remove "pearly penile papules" from his penis.  According to Courthouse News Tyler Bowling claims he contacted California-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. William Groff in 2009 about a laser treatment to remove pimples from his penis. Dr. Groff's office, he says, offered the $4,500 treatment free of charge if Bowling would agree to "discuss his condition" on "The Doctors."

Bowling claims Dr. Groff's office promised the show was seen only by doctors and medical students, and that they neglected to tell him about the studio audience. When informed that the show would air nationally on CBS, Bowling says he expressed reservations but that Dr. Groff's secretary "proceeded to cajole, assuage and persuade [him] that appearing was no 'big deal' and that no one would see the episode and that [his] appearance would be anonymous," the lawsuit says.

Bowling claims that he was then persuaded to sign release forms despite his hesitation and that he was rushed onto the show's set in front of the live audience. 

In the lawsuit — which he filed against Dr. Groff, La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center, CBS Television Distribution, Stave 29 Media Productions, and Lumenis — Bowling claims the appearance resulted in "relentless embarrassment and harassment" and he seeks punitive damages for privacy invasion, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, emotional distress, and misappropriation of his likeness.
