Miss Cleo dead at 53

MISS CLEO CALL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

TMZ reports that Miss Cleo is dead at 53. The TV psychic, also known as Youree Harris, was famous for the character’s faux-Jamaican accent and the bizarre Tarot-themed advertising campaigns exhorting Americans to call in for a reading.

You couldn’t fool Miss Cleo, went the catchy 90s’ tagline, but the entertainer could not fool the FTC, either: her Psychic Readers Network collapsed after the government charged it with deceptive advertising, billing and collection practices. Harris went on to perform as an actress and a spokesperson.

“It’s the one who is really unpleasant. That’s the daddy.”
