Psychic/Fraud

The Resume

    (June 10, 1966- )
    Born in Hicksville, New York
    AKA the ‘Long Island Medium’ (TLC, 2011– )
    Born Theresa Brigandi
    ‘Author’ of ‘There’s More to Life Than This (Healing Messages, Remarkable Stories, and Insight from the Other Side)’ and ‘You Can’t Make This Stuff Up (Life Changing Lessons from Heaven)’
    Winner of the 2011 Pigasus Award (James Randi Educational Foundation)

Why she might be annoying:

    First off, that helmet hairdo. Second that gigantic Italian honker. Third those fingernails!
    She got a very early start in mediumship… like, at age four!
    ‘Negative people need drama like it was oxygen.’ (Well, in mediumship, being branded as a fake is a given.)
    She appeared in a Priceline commercial in which the deceased Negotiator character was played by William Shatner.
    She refers to the family Yorkie as Louie (shorthand for Louis Vuitton).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Try not to take her too seriously.
    Rather than outright accuse her of fraud, as others did, a former medium expounded on common techniques (such as cold reading) used in the trade.
    She has at least one stalwart ‘believer’ her own father!
    Prior to the taping of the first ‘Long Island Medium’ episode, she was booked solid for some two years. And that’s on top of the extended waiting list.
    She managed to stay married to the same man for at least 25 years and raise two children.
