I heard about that. Thats absolutely disgusting that she told those poor desperate people that their son was dead. I know a lot of people may think that if people are stupid enough to go to her that they get what they deserve, but when you are that desperate sometimes you will just do anything to get answers because you run out of people to turn to. I don't blame those parents at all. I just hope they sue her!

Sounds like JE alright!

So Silvia Brown is a fraud and that shocks you.....how....exactly? If there were real psychics, there would be none because they would be rich and quiet.

Speaking for myself, I'm disgusted not shocked. She's been up to her fakery for years so it's really nothing new except that lately people are starting to sit up and take notice. It's about time.

She is just a circus act. I too am glad not that she has been exposed for what she is but that that boy is alive. But, yeah if I were psychic I would be playing the lotto and living in Vegas.

I give her credit for one thing...she figured out how to get rich on other people being gullible.
That said...I think she is no more than a parasite on humanity.

I agree Gator, and she takes advantage of people in mourning... they are desperate, if they weren't in sooo much pain they wouldn't be so gullible to accept her pile of Ch*t. She charges out the rear to hear her useless crud.. they hinge on every word from her mouth, and she KNOWS IT---- These people would give anything to hear from their sons, or daughters, mother, fathers, etc,. I see what she does and its nauseating.

I feel uncomfortable calling anyone a fraud unless that person has been busted consciously deceiving others for personal gain. Sylvia Browne strikes me as really cheesy, and so I've avoided her work and can't give an informed opinion on it. It's certainly the case that she's been profoundly wrong about some very sensitive matters, and her willingness to make public conjectures about such cases seems in very poor taste. But for all I know, it's an honest mistake.

In any case, it's safe to say that anyone appearing regularly on Montel is not exactly a role model to me.

Well she's made more than enough "honest" mistakes in her career. If she was an honest person I think she would know that it was time to change careers!

I have to agree with you Rouge Rat...I think if she were honest the handwriting would be on the wall for her. Her greed knows no bounds.

i throw up in my mouth whenever i see her.
check out this piece on her.....http://youtube.com/watch?v=dw_7sMKR8jo

Thanks for the link, 1stname. What a disgusting old witch she is to prey on people in pain. It may take a while but karma will eventually catch up with her.

Sylvia Browne is a disgusting hack who preys upon people like a vulture. Her writing is pure nothing more then airy, rambling, "Let me tell you about me me me!" bull she spoonfeeds the public.

I personally would laugh my ass off when an actual spirit from the otherside begins to haunt and torment her...or some pissed off person came up and shot her in the face. Frauds like her deserve the bad things they get when they toy with peoples emotions.

I think it should be obvious to anyone of decent intelligence, that a chain-smoker who has like 30 very well-selling books out, appears regularly on the Montel Show, and charges $700 for a 30-minute phone conversation, is a complete and utter
SCAMMER.

It breaks my youthful little heart everytime I hear or read someone praise her.

Several years ago my company had a small but expensive christmas party where they hired a cold reader to come in and entertain us before dinner. I wish I could remember his name now, but he used to have a Vegas show at Bali's or something.

He was VERY good... but he was also very clear about the fact that he was NOT a psychic. He pulled off the most bewildering stunt on me personally, I don't know how he did it, but he did. He asked my husband if he knew what my first pet's name was... my husband replied yes. He told both my husband and I to think of that name while he told me a story. They then guy stared me right in the face and started telling me a story about Babe Ruth and baseball.

By the end of the story, he stood up and said "I know what you're first pet's name was." I kinda grinned because my first dogs name was Brandywine Winchester the Third... .AKC mutt and I was thinking of her AKC name which I KNEW my husband wouldn't know.

I'll be dammed if the guy first said "It's wine.... " my husband started to shake his head no.... and if that guy didn't come right out and say "Brandywine" My husband stood up and said "You're part wrong!" and I had to look at him and say... no, actually he's dead right. So it was clear he was reading only me.

Never figured out how he did that, but he did. He did this over and over at the party too. Never did anyone write anything down, he just had someone else who knew the answer as well verify that he was right.

HE was a LOT better than Sylvia fraud Brown.

That sounds like loads of fun I bet that guy doesn't go telling people their missing children are dead either
Sounds like everything was in good fun.

Yes it is )

Isn't 'Sylvia Brown' cockney rythming slang for clown? "Ere, stop Sylvia Browning about and get to work!"

from what i know of those who do have true psychic abilities, they consider it a gift from GOD to be used to help others, and would never charge for their services, (for traveling expenses maybe if they had to go a long distance) and would not take up those making the offers of money to prove it, as they would see it as prostituting the gift.

i have seen a sylvia a couple times. she uses basic psychological profiles to guess about relationships, flipping through her books in a store, i found nothing in them that had not been said by someone else. everything about her screams fraud to me. having studied the subject, i am of the opinion that she has educated herself well enough to be able to seem that she is genuine. another thing that makes think fraud is that she seems to have too many psychic abilities, most real ones have only one or maybe 2. (for instance somone that can pick up emotions, etc from objects may also be able to "see" -holding a doll found at an abduction scene, may pick up feelings of fear, and may also "see" a vehicle, or a person wearing a mask. or may only be able to do one or the other.)

sylvia seems to be able to do everything, if she is real, then she is a super psychic and would go mad from all the info she would be picking up.

i'm glad you brought that up... Sylvia said she believes in angels but not the devil... lol... the devil is an angel... that's like saying, i believe in people, but i don't believe in boys....

Yeah. Pretty much. True psychics really don't do anything but help people.

She's just a sickening person sometimes. From what I can hear from you guys.

i've always thought she was a fake... i'm glad somebody out there is trying to stop her....

that video just shows how fake she is....

Exactly! She says she's a Christian but she has all kinds of wierd ideas about religion. It's obvious that she's made all this stuff up. Have you ever watched people's faces when she tells them things? Sometimes you can tell they are totally confused but they don't want to disagree with her in front of Montel and his audience.

This has probably been posted but in case it hasn't this is a great site for the case against SB:

The reason she bites her nails or has her hands roaming around her face while giving a reading is because she lies. It has been psychologically established that this is one of the signs that someone isn't telling the truth. There are other clues, but this one definitely comes to mind when watching Silvia Browne.

Oh. Thanks for the link, Badpenny. <3 I'm reading something on it now.

not sure if anyone brought it up but about the second one about hell, I thought she said hell didn't exist?!

that site is great, I have read her books, and with what I just read, I'm back to where I started, and I said, "I'll believe her if the aliens come in 2011 (it was 10, 11, or 12) like she said" lol

She does say everyone goes to heaven. She needs to make up her mind.

I agree, MoonPrincess, and what I also don't like about her is her attitude. I think if you're a true Christian(as she says she is), you will exude love and peace. She is totally the opposite, and frankly I'm surprised that Montel hasn't had a talk with her about her snapping at people in the audience. I know we all have our ups and downs and we all have suffered in one way or another, but people like Sylvia Browne who work daily with people, shouldn't put this negative attitude on them like she has.

Montel has MS, but he is positive and upbeat and doesn't let his condition affect his interaction with the audience.

Anyone heard any updates on when Sylvia gets her photo spread in Maxum magazine?....I can not wait.

I heard it was Penthouse.

She doesn't believe in hell but she believes in God? Sounds like she is just picking out the parts of regligion that benefit her.

My sis is talking about calling Sylvia Brown. I am doing my best to talk some sense into her. Told her if she wants to give her money away I would gladly take it,lol

Give her my phone #. If she wants to throw away money, then I would be happy to take it.

You'll have to stand in line,lol I can't figure out for the life of me why she watns to do this. It is such a waste of time and money.

I know this is old but I came across it and felt the need to point out that Sylvia Brown states in all of her books that there is no Hell. I don't think she's real either but this person here is blatantly lying just as she is.


For the record i don't believe in Hell but i do believe in God. Man wrote the bible as a way to control the population, what better way to make people behave than to threaten internal damnation for their ill deeds, especially back before science had any hold on us.

That makes me really mad so mad that if I was that lady i would have punched her out. Nobody knows who is going to heaven or hell.
In the Book of miracles by Zoltan Andraddy, he mentions the case of a french priest.This priest's case for sainthood was up before Rome.
Well according to records and testimony given, there was a man condemed to death. Well in the old days, executions were often public affairs.
So this priest asked the condemed if he had anything to confess or say, and the man kept silent. Again the man was asked if he had anything to confess,and again the criminal remained silent.Then he was finally executed. The priest told the crowd that they were witnessing a soul going to hell.
When this information was reviewed by the comission,this priest's cause for sainthood was shelved.Why,because even though he might have been very holy
and did many good deeds,NO ONE knows who Jesus Christ sends to Hell or Heaven.

I do not care for this woman at all.

You are very correct Odd Christian....

Not only would one not make money at it, also one would NEVER tell anything bad to a person that would hurt them...
Maybe beat around the bush to enlighten and help heal a situation in a round about way, but Never tell them bad.......
The fear of losing the gift is too high......Its a blessing that shouldnt be abused in any manner, way shape or form.

I went to Las Vegas last month and saw Penn and Teller (awesome show by the way). For one of their acts, they passed out some joke books had the audience pass them around as the act was going on.

Before the show started, there was an envelope on stage, and their opening jazz act was telling everyone to sign it.

During the act in question, Penn talked about psychics and how all of them are fake. Penn then gave a cold reading to a random member of the audience who was holding one of the books at the time. He just started firing off questions to the woman and got the joke she was reading in about 15 seconds. He then got the next person with the book to stand up, told them not to move a muscle so it would be harder for him to get a reading, and got the guy's joke with the guy just standing there.

The last part was the best, because the last person to get picked was my girlfriend he had her go up on stage and read a random joke in the book, but withhold the punchline. As she was reading it, Teller gets the envelope and rips it open, pulling out a piece of paper. as my girlfriend finished the joke and stopped at the punchline, Teller and Penn opened up the paper to read the punchline, "that isn't my dog".

Pen then talked about how that instead of jokes, imagine that he was telling you intimate things about your life, and your deceased loved ones. I love Penn and Teller, because their acts are always deeper than they seem. He especially talked about Silvia Brown and how she's a fraud.

The best part of the act? We got to keep the envelope and paper with all the signatures on it

edit: yes, I think she's a fraud

Great story.

I wonder how on earth she justifies it to herself?

I actually own one of her books and couldn't really make up my mind about it until recently. I believe she is a major fraud.

If she quit smoking, she would single handely put Marlboro out of business.

Say it ain't so! Sylvia Brown a fraud??

<gasp!>



As one of my dear friends used to say, "Ray Charles coulda seen that, honey!"



She's not only a fraud IMO but not even an entertaining fraud.
She reminds me of a cross between a carny woman and a Marlboro-smoking, trailer-trash alky.

I can tell she's a fraud just by looking at her.

LOL! You are sooooo right.

A relative of mine actually watches her every time she's on Montel (which has been cancelled, I believe) and buys what she says. I tried talking some sense into her, but now all I can do is shake my head.

Has Montel been cancelled or has Sylvia Browne been cancelled to appear on Montel??

My bad, I should've been more clear... the show was cancelled.

That's ok. I was wishful thinking that she'd been banished from the show.

hahahahhaha...

she said in 2007 that she will be working in montel for another 7 years...FRAUD after FRAUD...

Even other psychics confirm that she is a fraud. The horse is dead and rotting.
