    I like that she took on the responsibility to tell Cleo’s story, but still hiding in the shadows and not being honest when hit with questions, says to me you wasted everybody’s time. If you’re not ready to be honest, you should’ve left it alone.

    Miss Cleo was my Customer when I had a Bakery in Lake Worth, Florida. She always came and hung out with me.She was so FUNNY. She and I were both suffering from Anemia. She encouraged me to go get my Hysterectomy and it saved my life. I loved Her. I was so saddened to hear she passed.

      Please repent for seeking counsel from the ungodly.
      “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:31. Test the spirit and see if it is from god.
      And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 2 chronicles 33:6
      I’m not trying to scare you but our people perish for a lack of knowledge. Please start reading the Bible and meditate on the word of god.

    Ms Cleo definitely could see the future period because my sister called back in the day and miss Cleo straight up told her that she was going to start a new life with a man who's name started with a "M" and she would bare a bunch of girls who'd be sickly & told her how to navigate it and stay strong because it would be alright in the end. Well what do you know! 8 months later she met her husband Mike who's real name was Myles & my sister over the years had 3 girls and literally all 3 were born very premature and small like 3 lbs and they all stayed in the NICU their first 3-6 months and went through trials with developing but now the youngest is in high school and the two older ones are 20 & 25 and their all healthy. Unfortunately my sister passed away in 2011 at 35 y/o when they were much younger so she didn't get to see them grow up past elementary & middle school🙏🏾🕊️ but miss Cleo definitely had the gift! Sadly it was exploited

    Ultimately, what I find to be truly sad is the fact that they used/abused this woman (for money) during her career, and they’re still collecting coins from her even after her demise; and to pick her apart to create a ‘persona’, meanwhile we can’t even learn about THE REAL HER because so much had been suppressed…for the financial gain/greed of others. Heartbreaking.

    I am sure Ms. Cleo wasn't Jamaican based on the evasion of the question! But what's more important to me is the manner in which this woman's "gift" was "pimped out" for service while depriving of the benefits received for that service! To hear she died "penniless and broke" while tagged as "a liar and a fraud" is a terrible miscarriage of justice. Because "justice" should not only have "cleared her name" but demanded restitution be paid along with compensation for "pain and suffering". If the Broadcast depicting her life as "Ms. Cleo" serves only to "ask questions" without vindicating her against the slander and accusations that resulted in her becoming reclusive, then it too is seeking to PROFIT off of this woman, offering nothing but an opportunity to ask questions for which they'll be no answers given! Because the one who knows is now dead and those who speak on her behalf, do so AFTER THE FACT when it mattered most when she was yet living. Ms. Cleo will not benefit in what is said, for she is no longer with us! The benefit is for those who speak attempting to "clear a conscience" for what "had not been said" in the time needed. What is the lesson here - if not "hide your gifts from the corruption of men" who will pervert it's intended purpose for the sake of "greed"? THAT will be the Legacy! Not words spoken to assuage ones conscience.

She has good intentions to covering Miss Cleo’s story, I don’t speak for all, but I don’t think we should blame her for wanting to spread a truth. “Multi-dimensionally.” Where people were stealing from her and tarnishing her name- she, the co-director and FRIENDS and PARTNER are clearing Miss Cleo’s character for the truth over the wrong that was done to her. Should she/they have done something good with the money? Maybe. Maybe they will. But it’s something.

    I now feel so sorry for her. RIP; she was used and abused. However as an Afro Caribbean woman, I and all my other "West-indian" teenage friends of the 90's knew Cleo was a whole fake. Her accent was fake as well. Her accent was more fake the Denzel Washington's in the Mighty Quinn. Also, on a clip in one of her commercials, a person on the end of the line asked where she was from and she replied, the island of Maryland. There is no island/country in the Caribbean called Maryland. My friends and I nearly hit the floor with laughter. The Caribbean are full of people with the gift of sight, etc, unfortunately, Cleo was not one of them. People should not play games with spiritual things or faking gifts, it never ends well.

Could her birth parents have been Jamaican, possibly. But not many Jamaicans settled in the west coast. We wind up in South Florida and NY mostly. Whatever her true origins, she created who she wanted to be. I had no idea she had passed away, so here's hoping she truly is at peace.

He wants us to question what we don't understand. He wants us to talk with him all day and night.

      Ms. Cleo defrauded the government? Did she own the 800# company? So she was the only one involved?

    When I was 16 I worked for the Miss Cleo’s Psychic Hotline, and that’s how I learned it was an absolute joke early on. That was back in 2000.

    They should be making documentaries on how We as a people been scammed all our lives where is our 3 acres and a mile! For all the free labor our families did on the cotton fields, tobacco fields, sugar cane fields.

      I am seriously not being disrespectful but it is 4 acres and a mule. It was supposed to be given in exchange to work our own “plantation”.
      Being as I grew up in the country that my grandfather had complete with livestock, it’s labor to maintain and if the climate do not work in your favor, you may not get an return on your investments😢.
      It’s a nice thought but the reality of all is quiet different.
