I’m pretty sure everyone here knows who Miss Cleo is. Her infomericals were REALLY popular during the late 90s and early 00s (see one in the comments). After she was hit with a couple of lawsuits, she fell off and was no where to be found. Well, the fake pyschic is back and has some new info to share with us; she is a lesbian.
In The Advocate, Miss Cleo (born Youree Dell Harris) reveals that she was inspired to come out because of a gay, teenage family member:
- “He and I started talking when he was concerned about coming out. He was 16. When he made the decision I told him I’d be there 100%, and he embraced [coming out] whole-heartedly. It’s a different vibe than when I was his age, being raised Catholic in an all-girls boarding school. But he was afraid of nothing and I thought, ‘I can’t be a hypocrite. This boy is going to force me to put my money where my mouth is.’”
On why she decided to stay in the closet until now, when she’s in her 40s:
- “The reason it’s scary is because in my personal experience, black cultures throughout the world have a more difficult time accepting homosexuality in their family. I have family members who will be shocked; they don’t know. I have some family members who are very close to me, and they know. But I’ve been afraid of the wrath, of the exile. When I came out to a number of friends in the late ’80s, I had a number of friends who turned their backs on me and walked away That was really intense. I really believed they were my friends.”

She's going to be appearing on the next season of the Surreal Life on VH1.
I wish they would talk about why she decided to hoax people into thinking she was a real psychic |

I knew that bitch was a lesbo years ago. Yup, it was revealed to me by my trusty crystal ball. |
