Miss Cleo, TV's 'proud voodoo woman,' joins Lake Worth's gay community
Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 09:19 PM by davidinalameda
I loved her! anyone who didn't know the whole was a joke deserved to get fleeced

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/content/local_news/epaper/2009/03/24/0324cleo.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=76

At a tiny, earth-toned coffeehouse, the fliers advertise mediums and meditations. Wind chimes ring and dream catchers spin.

Miss Cleo, also known as Youree Dell Cleomili Harris moved from Davie to Lake Worth, came out as a lesbian, released a spoken-word CD, and started a radio show.

It's early afternoon. The plush couches sit empty. And seated at a table, a silver snake earring dangling from one ear, Miss Cleo says she couldn't be happier.

"I'm a proud voodoo woman,'' she says in the thick Caribbean accent that many late-night television viewers can well recall. "And I make no apologies to anyone.''

5. Didn't she get busted?
...the Psychic Readers Network, run by Access Resource Services of Fort Lauderdale, succumbed to a storm of lawsuits from consumers who said they were grossly overcharged. Cleo, a spokeswoman but never the boss, was sued, too. But she was not found liable...

Well, if didn't see the lawsuits coming, she should have sued herself for malpractice!
