Sylvia Browne Outs Herself (Or, "Summer is Nothing But Reruns")
2006.08.27 (Sun) 22:17
There are two things that we can be certain of in this world. The first thing is that self-proclaimed psychics will make asses of themselves on at least a semi-regular basis. After all, when you make a living by pulling predictions out of your ass, you're bound to pull out big handfuls of utter shit from time to time. The second thing we can be certain of is that, no matter how many times these "psychics" are shown screwing the pooch on national television, hordes of their weak-minded groupies will continue to fawn all over them, making excuses for their fuck-ups and defending their real honest-to-gosh spirit medium powers.
Not only has this clip shown that Sylvia's powers are a figment of her own twisted imagination, but they also show pretty clearly that she's a reprehensible, vile woman who couldn't possibly care less about the suffering of the marks who are her bread and butter. After seeing this kind of clip from her (as well as a similar account about Allison DuBois), we can't help but wonder at the vile, moronic dipshits who worship someone who isn't just full of shit, but is also pretty clearly not a nice person. As a note, if you're one of those dipshits, please don't take that last sentence as an invitation to explain your asinine beliefs to us — we don't really want to hear it.
You know, we've shown how Sylvia's predictions have been flatly wrong in the past, and we've showcased more than our fair share of Allison DuBois' public fuck-ups, and through it all, we're still bombarded by swarms of credulous idiots telling us that these people are beautiful, special flowers and that we "r teh suk" for trying to besmirch their sterling reputations. Hey! To the creduloids who can watch something like this and still lavish Sylvia Browne with sweet, sweet love: all we can say (borrowing from Les Jenkins) is:
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
— • —
[It has come to our attention that the video we originally linked to in this Rant has been removed from YouTube. We have replaced that video with another that shows the same segment, as well as another Sylvia Browne fuck up for your amusement, horror, and/or edification...ideally, all three. Thank you. — Ed.]
[Now it seems that the "new" video we linked to is also gone. As such, we added a new one. Again. And here's a link to yet another version in which the segment in question comes after another Sylvia Browne screw-up on Montel. Thank you. — Ed.]
Browne immediately jumps to the psychic's stock response, "Well, no, you're wrong."
"He died on September 11. He was a fireman."
"Well, no, see I keep seing him in water."
When they're caught in a lie or mistake, their first response is to accuse the other person of being the mistaken one, like this poor woman doesn't know when her boyfriend died. No, Browne sees him in water, so he obviously couldn't have died in the Towers, end of story.
Oh that is priceless, I love the sudden look of uncertainty in that hucksters eyes when the 9/11 bombshell gets dropped and the laughs just kept coming. Yep, first she tries the old "well your wrong and I'm right" angle and then the guttertrash says "well if they were trying to put the fire out,... montel" implying what?, he drowned from an errant firehose or puddle!. You also gotta love the long drawn out pauses as like an animal caught in yer highbeams the mental minnow struggles to cope with a scary situation and fails. Hell even poor montel was flummoxed, gently supplying the 9/11 reference again in case she had'nt heard and quickly moving on.
But what shone through apart from her absolute lack of any otherworldly power is just what a mean, nasty person is contained within, staring daggers at the poor woman in the audience. Is there no depths that these poor excuses for people, these greedy, egotistical twits will not stoop?, I guess not. Despite this live on air complete fuckup by the sham as you say the dipshits will carry on believing, arseholes the lot of em.
Browne hit the mark! As this woman said; "they never found any of him". Notice she didn't say who "they" are. That's because it was all a giant conspiracy. Her boyfriend and all those others where taken out the other side (have you seen any pictures from the other side of the buildings?) and rushed away. My vast research shows those who agreed to cooperate with the government were given new identities while the other were disposed of. My bet is her boyfriend had to be disposed. He was most likely a terrorist type.
Honestly, folks, you know what's really pathetic? If Sylvia was any good at her bullshit carny act at all, she could have easily recovered from this misstep. Instead of sticking with her pig-headed insistence that he drowned, she could have shifted gears and pulled out the save once she learned that he was a fireman on 9/11. Here's the actual beginning of the exchange:
Sylvia: The reason you didn't find him is because he was in water. ...
Suffering Person: Well it was September 11th. He was a fireman.
Sylvia: Well no, I keep seeing him in water. Is there any way he could have drowned in water, someway?
Suffering Person: They never found a piece of him, nothing.
From here, instead of stupidly insisting, as Sylvia chose to do, that he somehow drowned, she could have gone in a different direction, like so:
Sylvia: He keeps saying that he can't breathe. His lungs are filled up and he can't breathe and it feels like water or something else in his lungs. Does that make sense?
Suffering Person: Well, he was fighting the fire.
Sylvia: Exactly. His lungs are full of smoke and dust, and that's the feeling I keep getting — that his lungs are full of something and he can't breathe. I've connected with him — he says "Hi."
See, that wasn't so hard, was it? This "making shit up" deal isn't all that tricky. Too bad Sylvia really sucks at it.
"Browne hit the mark! As this woman said; "they never found any of him". Notice she didn't say who "they" are. That's because it was all a giant conspiracy. Her boyfriend and all those others where taken out the other side (have you seen any pictures from the other side of the buildings?) and rushed away. My vast research shows those who agreed to cooperate with the government were given new identities while the other were disposed of. My bet is her boyfriend had to be disposed. He was most likely a terrorist type."
Are you seriously saying this? You're INSANE. I'm in the military and I was there within 2 hours of the attacks. Maybe if your "vast research" was more than googling "9/11" over and over, you might have found some pictures of the other side of the towers.
Actually, I'm pretty sure oddlittleman wrote his comment as a joke (that's certainly how I read it). So, he's not insane. Well, not for this reason, anyway.
I have often wished that someone would come up with a better word than "psychic" to describe people like me. Between all the con artists out there and the gypsy and witch stereotypes, the word has been forever tainted. Call it what you want; I have what I refer to as the gift.?
-Allison DuBois
How about ?lying-uncaring-unoriginal-scamming-filthy-boring-jizz-bucket-whore-bitch??
I am a real psychic. I think people like that going on talk shows dirty the good name of us real psychics. If you would like a reading just send a paypal cheque for $40/ £20 to alan_macleod11 I look forward to hearing from you
Yeah, we hate those so-called psychics who pretend to have special powers and go on television just for their own benefit. All they're after is money. It's enough to make all so-called psychics look like the only thing they're after is money. How revolting. Not like you, Big Al. Not like you at all.
Wow, there seems to be a lot of anger issues here. I find all this talk very amusing. I just love a good laugh here & there. You guys sound less stable than sylvia browne. Do you have anything better to do with your time? Family, friends, anything? Putting someone down because you don't believe them is pretty harsh considering you don't even know her. Does it make you smarter, better or just make you feel good to speak of someone this way? Remember, God is watching you as well as her. NO ONE CAN JUDGE US BUT GOD! Have a blessed day!
Oh, for fuck's sake. Is there no end to the make-believe nonsense that you'll buy into, lin? Do you also believe in unicorns and magical fairies? You're right that there's a lot of anger here. People like Sylvia Browne — who leverage the pain and suffering of those around them just to make a buck — deserve our justified outrage; what we're wondering is why you aren't angry with her as well. Oh, right — because you didn't bother to read anything we wrote about her, and instead you chose to defend her blindly like a fucking moron. Bang-up job of that, lin — you certainly managed to come off sounding like a fucking moron.
Does exposing Sylvia Browne as a pathetic bullshit artist make us smarter than you? No. Genetics and a willingness to educate ourselves make us smarter than you.
Does using bad words and derogatory insults make us better than you? No. Being absolutely outraged at assholes who take advantage of others' pain and suffering makes us better than you.
We also find it interesting (read: "laughably pathetic") that you lambaste us for not having friends, and then count among your own friends an imaginary sky daddy called "God." We have plenty of friends, including each other (or perhaps you didn't notice this is a group blog?), and — unlike yours — none of our friends are fucking make-believe.
You are a deluded inhuman dipshit; case closed, congratulations. The most useful thing you can do for us is go play in traffic. Have a blast; bring marshmallows.
Have you ever also noticed that people who have decided to "let God into their hearts" (let him get his foot in the door more like) have instantly higher levels of credulity to all the other peripheral bullshit? Particularly strange when the tenets of said faith rigorously applied would have Sylvia Browne/Allison Dubois tied to a big toasty stick.
Oh my gosh Sylvia was so horrible to her. She was just so sure that she was the correct one. I'm glad the girl didn't tell her anything before hand and got this footage. I myself am a very spiritualist person and before I got into everything I used to like to watch her every so often but now days I don't because a few years ago I started feeling horrible vibes from her and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who feels so iffy about her. Her prices are outrageous and she's supposed to be helping people. For someone who was the real deal check out Edgar Cayce. I've never felt bad vibes from him.
She is a lying sack of shit, that woman is such a liar and Montel has her on his show like allll the time. Anybody can tell someone oh he is watching over you. Or he is doing this and that. She got caught and I hope everybody sees her for the liar she is.

What is up with Montel?!!! What the! No credibility. I used to think he was sensitive, but now this is just disgusting, offensive, and frigin pathetic. Are there enough other screwed up people to have on the show than a circus woman who hurts his guests deliberately with her alcoholic rantings? Sylvia, your grandmother is here. She said you have lung cancer, but not to worry. Satan loves your show.
Sylvia Browne is a joke. I remember a past Montel episode where an audience member was inquiring abou a scar. It went something like this:
Audience Member: I wanted to know where my scar came from.
Sylva Browne: In a past like you were shot in the back by an arrow.
AM: But the scar is on my leg.
SB: Oh, that scar? That was from another past life when you were thrown in a well and got bit by a snake.
This exchange is in the best of my recollection, but you get the point.
I have always wanted to get on Montel's show witha phony question for her, but I haven't gotten the chance yet.
She is hilarious.
How about her telling the family of the kidnapped boy that he was dead, and pointing to a location of the body, and it turns out the kid was just found & reunited with his family?
For entertainment value, she is a gem. However, all her "predictions" should come with a disclaimer...
i understand not believing in psychics, but what i don't understand is all the angry four letter words.
what's that about? take the show as entertainment, a laugh. perhaps she provides some sort of consolation for the grieving people. your anger makes me think that you once believed??
What a shame so few have command of the English language. Every vulgar word they can come up with expresses who they are and what a lack of education they have. Pitiful.
I read for people. However I don't talk to the dead. I really don't see that as a positive thing. I also refund people's money when I don't seem to be able to read for them. If I don't know the answer to something I say "I don't know." TV psychics and the movies have really put out a warped picture of what intuitive abilities are. Self doubt can make it harder to read but it also makes it a whole lot easier to not get full of yourself and think you know everything. All I know is that when I don't trust my feelings I land in a heap of trouble.
Sylvia Browne and that guy (can't remember his name) who has his own show now are modern day carneys. I believe there are people in this world who truly have this gift. I have met 2 of them in my lifetime. However, we will never see them on Montel because they believe that to profit from this gift is a sin. They shun the public light. Carneys on the other hand....... To use grieving trusting people like this is an abomination and when they die, they will get their "rewards".
to bea---"take the show as entertainment, a laugh. Perhaps she provides some sort of consolation for grieving people." Do you actually believe that ?? If you find entertainment, a laugh, in this huckster Sylvia Browne preying on the terrible suffering of the lady who lost her husband, a firefighter, in the 9/11 towers collapsing, you're sick. How did Sylvia Browne provide some sort of consolation to this lady?? Again, you have a twisted view of this situation. Montel also does not have a shred of decency about him--he also preys on people showing them in their deepest time of need. He pretends to care, all the while having them go over and over their stories for the world to see. He's hovers over them like a vulture, while his guests recount their heartbreaking, shattered lives.. Shame on him and guests like this Sylvia Browne... not guests like this poor woman who lost her husband in the 9/11 tragedy.....
Who cares what you believe. Don't worry what other people in this world believe. What's the big deal if people in this world believe in Psychic Sylvia Browne. I think you have some serious issues that you should keep to yourself and leave the rest of us who believe in God and Sylvia browne who was blessed by God with her special gifts to help people in this world alone. She is an amazing woman and I love her. Sincerely, Amber
Are any of us really surprised?
I mean come on, Sylivia rolls her eyes at the audiance and acts as if she's been put out by the fact that she has to "preform" for all these desperate folks.
This lady is the most vile, evil creature ever placed on this planet! My wife has been sucked into her bullshit world via her book. All I hear is Sylvia says this and Sylvia says that, well if she knows so much why couldn't she tell me what happened to my father?? I had gone to a taping of Montel 7 years ago(my wife got tickets) I had seen some of her shows before but always laughed them off. I hadn't seen my father in 16 years and wanted to see just how "all knowing" she really was. I had found out just a few months prior to the show that my father had been killed while on assignment in Russia. I got all the details of my fathers death via the U.S. government investigation, so I was aware of what happened. When we got to the taping the producers looked for "targets". I added a few details to my fathers story, to make them choose me as a "target". They asked me questions basically outlining what had happened, but I played dumb and gave only bits and pieces of my story. Right before the show began taping I was brought back to the "green" room where Ms. Brown awaited. She also asked me "bait" questions to get as much info out of me as she could. I answered as much as I wanted to, so that it would really test her. When the show began and they got to my segment, they stood me up and Montel introduced me, Sylvia asked why I was there and what I was looking for, I explained to her again, and she began her "show". I was told my father was not on the other side, that he dissapered to start a new life in a foreign place, without fear. My father was a cia op, so he had a few enemies, she also said he is still living but couldn't get a presise location. I went on to tell her that the government had provided us with death certificates and autopsy results from the mourge in the Czech Republic(not to mention my mother had to ID the body!!!) She said that what the government told us was false and that he was still alive and kicking under a different name now. Montel tried to cover for her a little and the segment was done. I signed a release form before exiting the studio, but the best part is that the day the show was to air(they give you that info when you leave) My segment just happened to not be in the airing. I called the studio and asked questions about it, and was given the run around until I finally talked with a producer. His response " Due to the length of some of the other segments, unfortunately we couldn't use your footage" BULLSHIT!!!!! It'sbecause I caught her redhanded and they couldn't afford to be found out, that thier #1 moneymaker guest is a total and complete fraud. This lady is lucky to predict her next diaper change, or how many cigarettes she has in a week. I have shown my wife all this information, but she is still a believer. This doughnut needs to be ousted for the scammer she is!!! DOWN WITH SYLVIA BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As an emergency services provider I find this psycho with over done nails absolutely insulting and reprehensible. As far as entertainment, she's about as entertaining as Maury's unending line of trash who can't figure out who of the hundreds of men they've been with is the father of their child. The only difference is, this scam artist is pawned off as legitimate and capable simply because she can read people and knows that general statements can make people who want to believe in it find credibility in it. It worked for the oracle of Delphi. One can only hope this scam artist won't be as widely remembered.
Vibes? Helping people? I remember the smell. I remember the smoke, dust and fire. And that was at Ground Zero 4 weeks after 9-11. Sylvia's scam was sophmoric. The only water in the Towers came from busted sprinklers. The firemen never reached the floors to hook up their hoses. The help I saw rendered in Manhattan was tanglible and active. Would Sylvia or Emily understand what that means? Probably not.
Forsooth, dear JOhn! We think they be quite wrought
With humor fit to send us into fits
Of laughter, thy divine inspired words.
For only one whose education lacks
Exposure to the raucous tongues of man
Wouldst posit, in so serious a tone,
An axiom, unfounded, with no bite,
That truth abandons, when 'tis come to light.
If only thy prodigious might of mind
In nobler purpose could be so engaged —
To wit, addressing Sylvia's deceit
Instead of Two Percent's profanity.
But simple minds to simple comments be
Like lodestones lit upon our iron swords,
And simple minds like thine shall ever be
Inept to see the meaning for the words.
And so, with all sincerity, thou tool,
We say to thee: Fuck off, O flaccid fool.
it's about time this phony is exposed I've known from the very beginning of her "career"
that she is nothing more than a charliton.
..and you know whats really sad..she has people like Montel Williams bring on her national TV to dupe the public....
people you are searching for answers but looking to the wrong source...if you happen to believe there is a GOD than look to Him. not to some scary looking medicine woman who has made millions of $$$ ....shame on her and God have mercy on her soul.
I won't lie, I'm a fan of Montel. From what I have seen (Sylvia Brown aside) of him he appears to be an intelligent and caring man. However, it disappoints me that he won't take this crook off of his show. I used to love watching Ms. Brown on Montel...when I was younger and more naieve, before I began to catch onto her lies. Have you ever noticed that a large percent of the time when an audience member on the show has a mystery illness she'll say it's fibromyalgia? It's always fibromyalgia with her! Her condescending tone with audience members also disgusts me. She treats them like incompentant bafoons, unwilling of her attention and "impressive" knowlege.
Sylvia got caught. She's a fraud and why Montel would have her on his show is beyond me. And to the person who said that 9/11 is a fraud and that people were rushed out the back by officials is crazy! Absolutely beyond my comprehension that anyone would believe that nonsense!!!
Time for you people to get another hobby!! Picking others apart because of some need to always know everything is ridiculous. I can see why this page was created...a bitching post as it were. Should have kept it a private bitching post though.
When you get some knowledge, and a life..then post for those in public to see. Yes, I posted here to, in hopes someone connected with this bitching post would at least make it so people have to become a member. The rest of us don't want this confused with real news or real informed opinions.
Well, damn, folks. We're not sure which we prefer — the scads of spam that we have to remove from our blog database, or the scads of actual comments that we have to reply to. Thanks to those who have already taken on a portion of that task themselves. As for us, we'll just hit a few highlights. (We're emotionally drained after our riveting performance with JOhn. You know we're Method, right?)
I believe there are people in this world who truly have this gift. I have met 2 of them in my lifetime. However, we will never see them on Montel because they believe that to profit from this gift is a sin. They shun the public light.
Not only won't we see them on Montel, we won't see them anywhere. Maybe — and we're just spitballing here — maybe they just don't exist. Or they could be hiding really, really well. Yeah, there's always that.
If you find entertainment, a laugh, in this huckster Sylvia Browne preying on the terrible suffering of the lady who lost her husband, a firefighter, in the 9/11 towers collapsing, you're sick.
Exactly, Mike. This isn't some "ha ha, so funny" comedy sketch, it's a sick fucking hag making money by capitalizing on the pain and suffering of others. Anyone who can't understand why we're so angry about people like this is severely, severely fucked in the head. We agree completely.
I think you have some serious issues that you should keep to yourself and leave the rest of us who believe in God and Sylvia browne who was blessed by God with her special gifts to help people in this world alone. She is an amazing woman and I love her. Sincerely, Amber
Yes, Amber, we hear from people like you all the time. You have so many fucking rocks — magical ones, we bet — in your head that we're amazed you don't tip over when you stand. Apparently, you'll believe anything, right? Well, go right ahead and screw those blinders on tight; but don't expect us to refrain from pointing and laughing at the stupid, silly person who believes in Sylvia Browne despite the fact that she's fucking wrong all the time. Do us a favor — next time you cross the street, close your eyes, be at peace, and trust in God and Sylvia to get you to the other side safely. The world will be a lot better off, and so, we're betting, will you.
Picking others apart because of some need to always know everything is ridiculous.
Ah, sweet Lady Melanie, but that is, in fact, not our motivation. As you may (or, more likely, may not) have noticed, Sylvia Browne is a spiteful, disgusting woman who manipulates others' emotional and psychological welfare for her own personal — particular financial — gain. We "pick her apart" (an interesting euphemism on your part) because her purely evil deeds anger us — plain and simple. No need to try (and fail) psychoanalyzing us to divine this — we make such facts quite clear throughout our site. And:
The rest of us don't want this confused with real news or real informed opinions.
We wouldn't consider this "news" either, as it isn't new — AOL's strange, sudden link to it notwithstanding. However, having done copious amounts of research on Sylvia Browne specifically, and "paranormal" practitioners in general, we can safely say that our opinions are both real and quite informed. From the depth of your comment, we somehow doubt that you can legitimately claim the same of yours.
That was not only bullshit, it was poorly executed bullshit! Before Browne said a word, I thought, "She's going to say he's in or near water". They ALWAYS say the bodies are in or near water!!! As soon as the woman said he was a fireman, I thought, "Oh, now she'll claim the 'water' she sees is from the firehoses", but she didn't think of that until it was too late. I could do her schtick better than she can!! Damn, why am I still working retail? I could be a famous psychic and "help" people!!!
FINALLY!.......my chance, lol
within about 2 minutes of first seeing this MORON! on montel i was ust stunned.
HOW!..........can a man of obvious intelligence like montel have anything to do with this pain exploiting,fake a## dipsh##!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
"there's an m in the name"
"so there must be an m in the last name"
"oh someone must have said his name on monday once, there's an m in monday, that must be it".................she should get bowel cancer and linger for months!
He raised his left arm up in front of his face to shield himself from the blast of dust that was rushing around him. He didn't realize immediately what was happenening and thought it would pass.
After a few moments he realized what was happening, but by then it was too late. His last thought was of the woman he loved. It was over in an instant and he felt no pain.
He was standing in water. The room was hazy with smoke, that was giving a brownish cast against the fire he was fighting.
He was standing off to one side of the room, his right should facing a corner with no windows. The stairs were to his left, in front of him.
He was a hero and gave his life saving others.
theres another clip of her i found on youtube. go watch how ridiculous she is!! the clip at the top of the page is also in here, but the first part is a different story.
notice how she says 'she doesnt care' if it was on the autopsy or not, it happened. shes just oh-so-believeable.
This sort of disheartens me. I read her book and I have to say it gave me a little piece of mind about my dad dying. I doubt any of you have read her book but it says we all choose how our life pans out, so in some way I found (small) comfort in thinking that my dads (and my) plan was for him to die when he did and he was happy somewhere. And now I have nothing to hold on to.

I believe in God and I think psychics are all a bunch of wack-jobs so I don't know which hat you pulled that rabbit from.
Exactly which "faith" are you regurgitating about? A classic example of "hasty generalization" and a lousy collection of God-hating, mumbo jumbo. Get your facts straight and stop generalizing. While you're at it, stay on topic too.
I say so what if lin feels sorry for this lady? We should all feel sorry for an oxygen bandit like Sylvia Browne.
Someone bump this whole diatrab...w/ mine too for all I care.
I think we'd all LIKE to believe in unicorns, but if they spit on you when you ask if that horn is stapled on, it's just not as much fun. Believe in God or don't, but I would suggest that no one make the decision based on Sylvia, Christians who judge (since that is exactly what Jesus said not to do), or unicorns. When this shit starts making too much sense, it usually means you smoked too much!
If you hate her so much why are you giving her so much publicity? Any publicity is good publicity. I'm kind of on the "you guys have issue's" end of this. So much wated time and energy on a stupid subject. Yes it was horrible and yes it was mean but get over it already. You are obviously much smarter than the average person and wont fall for psychic crap, good for you. Now use your smarts on something important, global warming, incurable diseases, etc.
I was once among the believers, John Edwards was my idol. Then I saw an expose of how he finds out his information on these poor, often bereaved souls. When a person asks for tickets to the show, a staff member is sent to their neighborhood, talks to people, even snoops their house posing as a meter reader, then the info is used in the reading! So very sad. There may be real readers out there, be he and Sylvia aren't among the blessed.
To the person who referred to god as "sky Daddy",
He is in fact in the sky, watching over us...u and I both.. One day u, as well as Sylvia Brown, and all the rest of us will have to account for our actions and words. Can't wait to see ya at the "Gates"..!!! btw...I will tell Peter hi for ya if ya can't make it
This woman disgusts me. To be able to sit there, and use the grief of another... it’s the mark of someone who is seriously deranged. To me this goes beyond whether or not she’s a “real” psychic, this is about what a vile monster she is. Personally I believe in psychics, but not ones who use their gift for profit. However, Sylvia Browne is nothing more than a woman who gets perverse pleasure from screwing with people’s emotions.
I swear Montel must have ran out of idea's. It seems like this crazy bitch is on all the time. The show should be changed to the Sylvia Browne Show. She is so full of shit. I won't watch the show when she is on, and I feel so sorry for those people who hang on to every word she says as if it is true.
If you ever actually rerad the Bible, it very clearly states not to associate with spiritualistic people or mediums. The Bible clearly states that the people who engage in this activity do not worship God, and the" gifts " are from Satan. You cannot eat from the table of God with one hand on the Devils plate. If you going to defend someone using religion. you should do your homework first.
she's always been that way, and what's worse is, montel is so star struck by her. i lost so much respect for him with teh way he tries to shove her up our noses.
example one time, she told a lady, yeah i see the color "YELLOW" and the lady said, "yes she had a Yellow Doll in her room 15 yrs ago"
and montel jumps up and down, SEE, now how would sylvai had known that?? man i'm telling ay she's good!!!!!!!
so to me?? i would have said, ok i see 'PINK??:"
and she owend something pink does that make me psychi too montel??
I like Montel. Always have. He means well, tries to do good with his show. However, I've never understood why he puts this lady on. Especially so often. I immediately turn the channel. Never believed a word she spoke and am perplexed why Montel caters to her so much. Montel can do very well without her. He risks his career, and more importantly, his reputation and integrity, every moment he puts her on his show. I'm borderline ready to never watch his show again due to this. I completely stopped watching Maury when he went the route of Jerry Springer. Montel, you can do better!

I completely stopped watching Maury when he went the route of Jerry Springer. Montel, you can do better!
lauren,
don't let this take away the comfort that you felt about your father's passing. true, this woman seems to be a manipulative liar (she disgusts me, to be honest), but she has nothing to do with your father. i don't know anything about you or your father, but i do know what it's like to lose someone who you love. i would suggest that you read the book "A Grief Observed," by C.S. Lewis. it is a really good book, and it helped me to find some peace amongst all of the questions and heartache. but even if you opt not to read that book, just know that you can hold on to the fact that there are millions of people out there struggling to find peace with the same thing, and it is a battle, but it is possible to find peace.
I find it hilarious that so many of you sit at your computers and bash Sylvia Browne's "fuck ups" when I'm sure that all of you (I include myself in that) have plenty of those in your closets as well. No one is perfect. Focusing on the times when she has made mistakes doesn't change all of the times that she has been absolutely right about things that she has seen. Some of you obviously have no other outlet besides "online ranting". Get out more.
People.....are you fucking serious? How can grown human beings believe any of this babble. Do you all still believe in Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy......etc.?
Religion is nothing more than a mental creation by human beings to cope with loss and death of loved-ones and themselves. If "heaven" is such a great place why dont all of you religious nut-jobs go there now? why wait, i mean its not that hard to get DEAD. And as for all of you "creation" believers, Sylvia Browne and her kind are doing nothing other than taking complete advantage of your ridiculous beliefs.
Theres about as much chance Sylvia "the smoker" Browne can talk to dead people as there is that some guy built a boat and caught 1 male and 1 female of every single species on the planet and put them all on a boat to survive. LOL But that does raise an interesting question.....wouldnt that mean that every species had no choice but to commit incest to survive.....isnt incest a "sin"? lol
Hmmmm, Adam and Eve, 2 people created the entire "family" of 6 Billion we have today......no wonder some of you are so fucked up and believe in fairy tales.
Get over it, dead people are like dead dogs, goats, sheep, cows, cats.........etc......they are DEAD and dont talk to anyone especially a nasty ass like "smoker" browne and the reverse racist Montel Williams.
WAKE UP AMERICA.........you live, you die........Deal with it!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how mean Slyvia was to that lady, just because you are caught in your own ly Slyvia doesn't give you the right to put this lady through more, my husband and I think this is the biggest load of shit and I hope people will finally realize this people care nothing about you they just want your money
Danarizzo, OH PLEAZEEEE don't put US in the line of being like you and sylvia brown.
everyday human mistakes we all make is nothing compared to this.
if you want to compare apples and oranges and you don't "GET IT" on what we are all talking about then you are what they are referring to up above...........
"You are a weak-minded groupy that will continue to fawn all over her, making excuses for her fuck-ups and defending her real honest-to-gosh spirit medium powers" adn then to make matters worse try and tell us that we are all like her!!
hey, if that were the truth, i'd be a million aire too, slap a scarf on my head and i'll tell you how yoru 2nd cousins wifes sisters, best friends sons ex girlfriends dog died from 800 years ago in the past life!!!!"
Well there are a lot of fake psychics. I am related to one in Sacramento. He wants the family to call on people who are sick or in debt. Get their stories and then when people come to his house he start to tell them about their hardship and needs. people believe him because they think he knows everything but dont know family members already feed him with the info. Than he charges them a lot of money telling them that he will cure them. But at the end no cure than he fights with them tell false stories to other people and get away with it. If You come across this name be careful. He Naresh Narayan aka Ojjah. Also he is gay and will try to have you divorce your wife so he can have them.

Lauren - Just because Sylvia's a fraud doesn't mean what she says in her book doesn't have validity. If it made sense to you, it might be true . . .
For those dissing Montel - I don't care for his show, but I hate the way you all are talking crap about his guest selection. Do you think he chooses all of his guests himself? He's not the only producer of his show, and doesn't make all the desicions. He MIGHT see Sylvia's name on his week's docet and say "Ah Shit! Not this Bitch again!" for all we know.
I think shams like Sylvia Browne should not be allowed to spread her crap to the public on t v or any other way and Montel Williams should be ashamed of himself for subjecting people to this crap I no longer have respect for hm and I refuse to watch his show.
I have myself wondered time and time again, If anyone in the world could possibly, actually, believe this woman. My mother -in-law after the death of her youngest son at 19yrs sought out Brown and the other John whatever his name is, to get though her grief. I thought it was sad enough that she could not just take comfort in the words of the bible that we may see each other in the after life, but when she sat week after week watching those shows, listening and hanging over Browns words, like yes he is your guardin angel, he watches over you, Comeon. really, let teh dead be dead and rest in piece please, and I am soooooo Happy to see this two percent group call her out, and let every one see in deed she is a scam artist, those people should seek a counsler to learn to get over the grief instead of money hungry in-moral monsters who make a living off the tradgies of peoples lives. OH and isnt FUCK? in the english language? I say it all the time... WellFUCK...lol

[This comment was utter spam, clearly someone trying to ride the wave of sudden interest this post has generated. Nice try, fucko. You want to advertise, fucking pay for it. — Ed.]
TimmyAnn — sorry about that. Our spam blocker gets a little overzealous at times, and its eyesight isn't so good these days. (Plus, we're pretty sure it has a crush on Tony.) We're getting a frankly ridiculous metric tonne of comments today, and what with, you know, actual work to do, getting everyone approved will just take a little time. But we'll get there.
danirizzo, aside from Kathy's excellent points above, we would also mention that we find it hilarious that you sit at your computer and bash those who find a common interest in bashing Sylvia Browne's avaricious, deceitful behavior (not her "fuck ups," as you put it). You obviously have no other outlet besides "online ranting." Er. What else were we supposed to say? Oh, that's right. "Get out more." That's apparently what you say to someone who, uh, wastes their time spouting off their own opinion online.
Scott — it's a nice sentiment, and one we'd be happy to believe, but there's evidence that Montel is actually a Sylvia Browne fan, or at least publicly claims to be. To us, it matters as little whether he's really a fan or just pandering to fans of woo as it does whether U.S. senators truly believe in the bullshit measures they try to get passed or are simply pandering to their zealous voting base. He's still either vapid or an asshole.
Incidentally, if you're all going to pile on here, you should really be giving Robert Lancaster a read. He's the real expert on this wicked witch.
Sylvia "I'm a complete and utter fraud" Browne just proves what a counterfeit she really is. Montel has lost it by advocating this rubbish and blatant jabberwocky by playing off of his audiences sadness. I'm sorry some individuals continue to believe in her drivel and would subject themselves to ask her about their deceased love ones. It literally makes me sick. She (Sylvia) ought to be hung and beat like a pinata for all her felonious rambles that she has so boldly dared to answer and each time her physic awareness if more OFF then the next and yet some just think she will give them all the answers they seek. If she was so physically aware of such matters I would think her powers above her would tell her to do something with that face and hair now that she looks more like Donald Trump in a bad wig. Oy!
ROFL....OMG....but, wait, Syliva Browne is helping Catherine Chancler on the Young and Restless, find her missing grandson, that she gave swapped as an infant.
I don't know why anyone believes in this crap. Just like the bible, it's a great story....a piece of history. I don't believe a word of it.
i think we all believe in things from time to time that others may consider strange.....as sylvia says.lessons in life????perhaps that may be true. one day each and every one of us will know

Recently, I watched a small excerpt on Montel. Sylvia was predicting that the weather was going to be the warmest it has ever been on the east coast and that it would be that way all winter. I found it funny that she predicted this after the news came out that it was very warm. Well, a couple of weeks later, of course, the weather started to change as I knew it would because I live in the Northwest, and we start to get a lot of the cold storms in this region. I had a feeling it would spread eastward as it does usually, not because of psychic abilities but just because it usually does. I'm surprised Sylvia didn't come back on right after this news to say that the weather was going to now be extremely cold. What a farce. This woman is unbelievable!!!
I used to watch Sylvia Browne when she was on TV...but the more I watched...the more phony I realized she was. A friend of mine paid $250 to have a reading by phone...and Sylvia told her that she would meet a guy named Bill...and it would become permanent in two years. My friend actually did meet a guy named Bill ... the relationship ended after one year tho. I don't know if she has any psychic ability... but if she does ... then she doesn't have it to the degree that she portrays she does. Also... I can't stand that when someone asks her or tells her something ... she answers with an attitude saying, "Well honey... of course"....blah blah blah ...... as if the person asking should know .... and is stupid. And I just love when she asks..... "Who's the short woman ... or the thin man ... or the girl with the round face" ... I mean... come on .....everyone knows someone who fits these descriptions. She's been wrong ..... from what I've read .... on many occasions ... not just this time. On one show this woman asked about her daughter who was ill ..... and Sylvia told her that she did not see her making it. The poor woman was crying ..... and of course we have no way of knowing whether the daughter survived or not. Sylvia is not God ..... and these people need to stop looking for answers thru her. I don't know if Montel really believes all her crap .... or if he did believe previously....and now he's so caught up.... that he can't get rid of her. Well.... that's all for now... and I enjoy reading all the comments.
It is all up to each persons individual take on the information provided. Everyone hears things differently. Remember the childhood game telephone?? I don't know about anyone else but I have trouble hearing people on my cell phone at times, I can't imagine trying to receive messages from the other side. I would never pretend to have heard from the deceased, but I'm sure if they ever did decide to talk with me, I wouldn't always understand what they were saying.
Who is anyone to say what the last thing a person sees, hears, or feels before they die? What if the last thing the fireman was aware of was not being able to breathe due to the smoke and debris, and was being soaked by a broken sprinkler overhead? I used to date a fireman and he had told me stories of how disorienting being in a situation like that could be. He was almost killed once trying find someone in a burning building, he thought he could feel them tapping on his shoulder, but couldn't find them in the thick smoke, turns out it was his helmet that had been hitting his shoulder.
I am not weighing in on this as a believer or a non-believer. I am just trying to make the point that no one knows. One can not prove nor disprove this complety 100%.
For Christ's sake! Poor Montel! I FINALLY got my grandmother to stop believing in that overpaid bitch. Could she have been any more rude to that poor woman?!?
I do believe in ESP and things of that nature, but come on people, she's not even good enough to catch her own mistakes and straighten them out! She is a disaster. I can only imagine how many people she has ripped off and either confused more than they were before, or are totally traumatized now. Un-fucking-believable.
And why on earth didn't that poor woman explode?!? I would have! Well, I wouldn't have talked to her in the first place!
I recall hearing or reading at some point in time that Montel's relationship with her was based on the correct, critical and impacting information he got from Sylvia personally. So basicly, her words worked well for him...and he wants to share that.
I don't think anyone who has posted here is "wrong". We all can have our different and divergent beliefs.
We all have our own relationships with the energies of the universe. Sylvia is sometimes "wrong" as are we all. She is also sometimes "right"....it's all really simply a matter of perspective.
Appreciate all the diverse perspectives around you - they contribute to your own growth. They all help form our own belief systems.
Enjoy the growth!
Since the first time I saw this horrible woman years ago, I have felt she was a complete fake. It's not my nature to call names or make criticize someone because of their physical appearance. That being said, I would like to comment that this broad (she is to despicable to call a woman) Has to be the most repulsive creature to walk on the Earth. Undoubtedly the nastiest, skankiest dishonest douchebag whore that ever lived. What peplexes me most is that with all her money (that she has swindled from so many poor souls) She could only afford that hidous 50 dollar Mexican face-lift . What A BUTCHER JOB!!!!

Alright I just want to point out how in the introduction of this thing the writer of this blog for The Two Percent Company noted how heartless Sylvia is. The quote is that is that "she's a reprehensible, vile woman." After this comment however, almost every single comment made by the Two Percent Comapany writer has been utter bullshit. I most definetly don't agree with Sylvia's way ofmaking a living; it exploits other people's misery. I also don't get how someone can scold one person for being insensitive to others when they are in fact themselves insensitive. The writer decides to not only voice their opinion on Sylvia but also their pessimistic opinion on everyone else. In one of the first comments a person made the remark that the writer must not have any friends. I can actually see where this has some truth if I examine how little respect the writer has for other's. If you feel that we should degrade anyone that is different than us then why don't we just go back to the days of HItler and his grand ol' idea of unification... what was that called? oh yea genocide. If you have an opinion, voice it but don't be a bastard to others.
Well, I agree that Sylvia Brown is a fake. She's known all along, it just took some of us time to figure it out.( Myself included) but man, those nails have got to go! Yuck! I've always liked Montel but I agree with the fact that his shows have become very lame anymore. I want to believe in "People with the Gift" but I guess we might as well believe in Unicorns too ,if thats the case. No Fairy Tales anymore. If you need to grieve, thats fine but find solace in something other than somebody telling you stories to make you feel better as they take your money and smile.
why does Montel keep this woman coming on his show? From the first time I saw her she look like a con artist. Any body believeing what comes out of her mouth is a IDIOT. She is not real.
The Hitler idea sounds good to me! Something has to be done about the all the money-grubbing, lying, cheating, self-centered egomaniacs in the world. And the weak, ill-informed, insecure, naive people that believe in all the nonsense that is shoved into our faces constantly. A little common sense and confidence is all it would take for these "believers" to see the truth and realize that they to have been dupped. Guess no one really wants to see the truth and live in the real world. Apparently, La-La Land, is an easier world to live in. Probably prettier to, with all the unicorns and magical fairies.
my mother is always watching montel, and really believes what sylvia browne has to say. i on the other hand am a skeptic. i started becoming suspicious when she was publishing soooooo many books. i guess she saw how much money could be made by putting her rantings in print. it is sad when someone like her takes advantage of people who just want to believe that she has the answers. i really doubt that anyone who believes and has the extraordinary experiences she has claimed to have, would be so motivated by money. and you know she is by the riduculous amounts she charges just for a short phone reading alone. i wonder how much she actually does in the way of good for others with that money. does she give any to charities,etc. she seems to me to be self absorbed, and somewhat condescending. i often wonder if people who dupe the public for their own selfish reasons worry about their souls and what will become of them. i do believe in god, and i believe that she and every other con artist who hurt people for their own gains will answer to him.
I actually paid to have a private reading with her. Ok, I was young and stupid lol ) She said she preferred to 'read' the future over the past. Well she was totally wrong on both! 4 days later I was attacked and had my throat slit. Ok, so she missed one, but not even one thing she said came to be. The 'past' readings were not even close either. Her son also does/did 'readings' at a reduced price. She claimed that the 'talent' was passed down. I bet it was!!!
