Sylvia Browne crosses over

Sylvia Browne has finally expired at the age of 77. This is particularly bad news for Montel Williams, who must go back to work for Krystal’s now.

Feel free to rip the old charlatan a posthumous new one.

I’ll bet she didn’t see that coming.

Good riddance.

And Montel Williams is still on TV?

Evil bitch.

To paraphrase Moms Mabley, “I was brought up to only speak good of the dead. She’s dead. Good!”

She was truly a vile, disgusting piece of garbage.

Crap. Started another thread. I bow to yours.

Shocking. I thought she was immortal.
Just curious, why the hate towards this gravel throated woman?

No, he isn’t. Unless there is a new show he’s on that I missed.

Because she was a con artist, and a fraud who preyed on people at their weakest. She should have died rotting in prison rather than as a free and “respectable” person. I truly wish there was a Hell for the likes of her.

Well, the way she based her entire career on deliberate fraud is reason enough on its own, but her tendency to run her scam on the families of missing persons makes her especially repugnant.

Adam Carolla has a bit/theory he refers to as “stupid or liar?” which he liberally applies to blowhards of all stripes.

Ms. Browne easily qualified as both.

Fucking con artist cunt. I can’t even muster any sliver of respect for her regarding the con “artistry”; she was just another in a long, long line of people taking advantage of desperate, bereft people and suckers. She just happened to do it in the middling age of mass media. It doesn’t take any degree of skill or even showmanship to scam stupid people, it merely requires a total lack of integrity and dignity.

In this case we have documented proof. She predicted her own death at age 88:
KING: OK. Do you know when you’re going to die?
BROWNE: Yes. When I’m 88.

Close enough.

No, except for occasional infomercials and commercials, some of which were for Sylvia Browne. He also emceed at some of her live shows and cruises. (She actually had an annual Sylvia Fest cruise of the Mediterranean with her wealthier believers.)

Sylvia is one of the people who makes me sad that I have scruples. I could be so freaking rich if it were not for the fact that I just cannot bring myself to feed upon the desperate. I have so much more panache and imagination that she did or John Edward does.

Apparently her granddaughter is telekinetic. Her son is in the same racket she was.

Well said.

From the CNN link:

Wrong again.

The CNN story, like much reporting, has only this to say about her abysmal failures:

They could have said she was incredibly wrong, and not just on one occasion, instead of saying she had a few critics. But apparently that would be bad journalism. :rolleyes:

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Modern journalism is no fit place for scientific objectivity! We should just be grateful they didn’t call her a hero and start a “charitable” foundation in her name.

May she suffer a thousand exquisite agonies for each lie she told in the name of profit, the lying sack of shit.

It’s terrible, I know, but it occurs to me that if she’d limited her “vision” to

she’d actually have been right.

Apparently she’s not really dead; she’s just locked up in Cleveland.
