I like that she took on the responsibility to tell Cleo’s story, but still hiding in the shadows and not being honest when hit with questions, says to me you wasted everybody’s time. If you’re not ready to be honest, you should’ve left it alone.
I agree. Some basic questions ("was she Jamaican") were not even answered. This clip does, clearly and without hesitation: ruclips.net/video/eWJI5jVX9uA/видео.html
@@NashvilleBraids Well they needed to have her blessing and permission to do this documentary...Miss Harris trusted her and allowed her to tell her story...because she was humiliated and was being ridiculed for years in the media and SNL and talk shows...she was being targeted and called every name in the book back in the day...she was the fall guy in this whole debacle. She wanted her real story out there and decided to make this documentary so she can have some real peace...she became the laughing stock on television. That poor women was disrespected. Plus half the money from this documentary goes to her family and the charity of her command. You should really do your research before you take your anger out on this lady for helping her and getting her real story out there before she died. At least people now know what she really went through and what she had to endure...the real Cleo. This women befriended her and genuinely cared for her and Miss Harris aka Cleo trusted her only. Now people know who she is and the real true story.
Miss Cleo was my Customer when I had a Bakery in Lake Worth, Florida. She always came and hung out with me.She was so FUNNY. She and I were both suffering from Anemia. She encouraged me to go get my Hysterectomy and it saved my life. I loved Her. I was so saddened to hear she passed.
Lord knows I dialed the number one night while I was pregnant and having relationship issues and didn't know where to turn and everything I was told was EXACT! She told me the sex of my fetus and alert me of health concerns my baby would have and she let me know my fiance was struggling with drug addiction and that his blood was toxic from stds contrated while we were on a break and he cried and admit everything so I am so thankful that I called because she led me on the right path I dodged what would have been a huge crisis in my life

Those people do have a gift, but it's tainted. Even the bible says gifts come without repentance. Still God wants us to refrain from people and things such as this. If it's a true prophet of God, u will know. ❤
It was 20yrs ago and I am thankful for the knowledge. It was not the norm for me I was young and did it for entertainment purposes. She wanted to tell me more but I abruptly ended the call.
If Becky's going to profit off of Miss Cleo after death, why is she not answering Tamron questions properly? Guess she thinks it won't be noticed. Now because of this interview I may not watch. I don't want Her to get not one thin cent of my coins. 😠
Ultimately, what I find to be truly sad is the fact that they used/abused this woman (for money) during her career, and they’re still collecting coins from her even after her demise; and to pick her apart to create a ‘persona’, meanwhile we can’t even learn about THE REAL HER because so much had been suppressed…for the financial gain/greed of others. Heartbreaking. May this Queen rest in peace.
She was featured in Jet Magazine in their "Where Are They Now" series! She said during the controversy that she was never sued because she didn't own the company. She was an employee! She continued to raise her children, got a divorce, and was in a relationship with a woman! She said she occasionally gave psychic readings and that people were very friendly to her when they'd recognize her when she be out and about!
@@cindychristian1700 you can still be liable even as an employee. For starters, fraud is an exception to corporate protections. Also, I think her lack of money, and maybe a desire to make her a plaintiff/prosecution witness, was a greater reason for not naming her as a defendant.
Ms Cleo definitely could see the future period because my sister called back in the day and miss Cleo straight up told her that she was going to start a new life with a man who's name started with a "M" and she would bare a bunch of girls who'd be sickly & told her how to navigate it and stay strong because it would be alright in the end. Well what do you know! 8 months later she met her husband Mike who's real name was Myles & my sister over the years had 3 girls and literally all 3 were born very premature and small like 3 lbs and they all stayed in the NICU their first 3-6 months and went through trials with developing but now the youngest is in high school and the two older ones are 20 & 25 and their all healthy. Unfortunately my sister passed away in 2011 at 35 y/o when they were much younger so she didn't get to see them grow up past elementary & middle school🙏🏾🕊️ but miss Cleo definitely had the gift! Sadly it was exploited
@@TheRealBatCaveI believe everyone has that gift, some more than others. My whole family has it, but we don't go around using cards. Mine come in dreams and vision.
Yeah we gotta do better at taking back control over our own narratives when it comes to our black celebs. She shouldn't have been made out to be exploited like that and used and abused. Like Whitney, Michael Jackson it's ridiculous how many unwanted movies we have on them. Then they die broke and usually alone. I really be feeling bad for people man I just be wishing I could change the world sometime.
Notice how the girl never answered the question "Is she Jamaican?".... And who is this child doing a documentary on Ms Cleo was she even around when the commercials were on 😑
Miss Cleo was my neighbor down here in South Florida and I waited on her a couple of times also at a local restaurant. She was always very sweet and friendly. Was very sad when I heard through mutual friend that she had died.
@@LalaLarrieux I only knew her as my neighbor and she was always very nice. If people are dumb enough to call into some TV show thinking that they're going to win the lottery or marry a prince because some lady with an accent turning over cards told them so then they deserve getting scammed LOL.
I remember her. I believe she had real intuition. And she was used as a result of it. The shame came on her because she was the face of the enterprise, while the real deceivers remained anonymous. We still don’t know who they are, yet those men are probably still rich!
Y’know they can’t because it would give away 1.) the whole or part of the documentary 2.) in the interview, it shows that the interviewee wasn’t prepared with the clip and wasn’t “prepared” to answer the question so she had to “answer” in the way that allowed her to best. She has good intentions to covering Miss Cleo’s story, I don’t speak for all, but I don’t think we should blame her for wanting to spread a truth. “Multi-dimensionally.” Where people were stealing from her and tarnishing her name- she, the co-director and FRIENDS and PARTNER are clearing Miss Cleo’s character for the truth over the wrong that was done to her. Should she/they have done something good with the money? Maybe. Maybe they will. But it’s something.
This happens ALL the time! My father’s “dash adapter” invention was stolen and is in EVERY single car today but he has NEVER been compensated. Every time you plug your phone in, use a car lighter, put drinks in the armrest etc. Thank my father!
Tamaron should have not gave this lady a platform to make even more money off of her this is disgraceful and very sad to me. She died penniless and people are still trying to get a dime 🤦🏽♀️
If you knew her story a bit more personally you would know that her friends are very involved in helping revitalize her legacy. People have to be paid for their time and work.
I am sure Ms. Cleo wasn't Jamaican based on the evasion of the question! But what's more important to me is the manner in which this woman's "gift" was "pimped out" for service while depriving of the benefits received for that service! To hear she died "penniless and broke" while tagged as "a liar and a fraud" is a terrible miscarriage of justice. Because "justice" should not only have "cleared her name" but demanded restitution be paid along with compensation for "pain and suffering". If the Broadcast depicting her life as "Ms. Cleo" serves only to "ask questions" without vindicating her against the slander and accusations that resulted in her becoming reclusive, then it too is seeking to PROFIT off of this woman, offering nothing but an opportunity to ask questions for which they'll be no answers given! Because the one who knows is now dead and those who speak on her behalf, do so AFTER THE FACT when it mattered most when she was yet living. Ms. Cleo will not benefit in what is said, for she is no longer with us! The benefit is for those who speak attempting to "clear a conscience" for what "had not been said" in the time needed. What is the lesson here - if not "hide your gifts from the corruption of men" who will pervert it's intended purpose for the sake of "greed"? THAT will be the Legacy! Not words spoken to assuage ones conscience.
Yes this is well said. Although I don’t think we need to hide our gifts, we just need to OWN our gifts and know I’m our worth so we don’t sell ourselves to those who do not have our best interest at heart.
I remember my sister called Miss Cleo about her love life... ran the phone bill sky high! My dad got the bill, and beat da shit outta her😂😂 we joke till this day.. and she still haven't found love😩😂
I called Miss Cleo. she told me to write ✍️ down 3 things I want a career husband and baby. And it came true 17 years, married, but now divorced, a son and,a Biologist 🧫🧬, But the point is I ran the phone bill the F**** up, my family asked did she tell you a ass whooping was in yo future when the phone bill came, and she didn't no she was talking to a 16 year, lol my family had mad jokes But my 3 Wishes was Blessing from GOD, my SON, AND ME MEETING MY HUSBAND,I WAS JUST 21 AND THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING BETTER OUT HERE, AND MY EDUCATION AND PARENTS PAYING FOR COLLEGE LANDED ME A GREET CAREER, BUT IT was cook TALKING TO THE ONE AND ONLY MISS Cleo.may she R.I.P 🕊️
Since the lady wouldn’t answer the question. She isn’t Jamaican. Any Jamaican person could pick up on the nuances in her accent and tell you that the second they heard her speak. Americans have a history of doing terrible Jamaican accents on film - look at cool runnings for instance. She could have been cast for that for sure. RIP though. This story is sad!
I now feel so sorry for her. RIP; she was used and abused. However as an Afro Caribbean woman, I and all my other "West-indian" teenage friends of the 90's knew Cleo was a whole fake. Her accent was fake as well. Her accent was more fake the Denzel Washington's in the Mighty Quinn. Also, on a clip in one of her commercials, a person on the end of the line asked where she was from and she replied, the island of Maryland. There is no island/country in the Caribbean called Maryland. My friends and I nearly hit the floor with laughter. The Caribbean are full of people with the gift of sight, etc, unfortunately, Cleo was not one of them. People should not play games with spiritual things or faking gifts, it never ends well.
Yes, she was truly disrespectful she coulda play around with it all she wanted without using our dialect! When people play around with that side and don’t understand it! Us West Indians are truly gifted!
Miss Cleo may or may not have played with her spiritual abilities idk. I'm not judging her. Especially since she's no longer in this realm. Who can judge her. She believed she had a spiritual ability to help others but she was exploited by two people to play a role and those people made a fortune off her. Sure I didn't believe her commercials but she didn't deserve to be used
The only good I can perceive from this story is that we are living in a time where truth is being exposed for the sake of the mental and physical health of humanity. May God strengthen, keep, and help us all. ✨🙏🏾✨
I’ve watched the documentary several times. She was an extremely gifted woman and I truly believe, she would have done much better if she just stuck with her radio show and built a business that way. Sometimes these huge opportunities are not huge and they are only opportunities for the opportunists who create them. RIH Queen Cleo♥️💙
I LOVED me some Miss Cleo back in the day. In 2011 or so, she had a new website that she owned, and for the hell of it, I emailed the site and gave her my phone number and I STG, the real Miss Cleo called me from HER personal phone to thank me for the kind words. She was a funny, kind person and I will never forget our conversations.
I still remember Ms. Cleo and I didn't know that she was a lesbian and I didn't know that she had a partner. I didn't know that that the company she worked for used her to make money off of her thats sad and it make sense why she was struggling so much at the end before she died. Rest in Peace Ms. Cleo.
There is a more personal interview that Ms Cleo did herself with a friend and if I remember correctly she (Cleo) stated she came from a Jamaican heritage one or both of her parents. She used the accent yes, but its no different than many who have parents from the islands or other countries who are born in the US and know how to turn off and on their native tongue.
I come from a Jamaican heritage. I know many many people who can speak with authentic accent that were not born in Jamaica. Hers wasn't authentic, regardless of where she was born. That's that.
@@eijahholness337 I'm starting to notice from the comments that only the people of direct Jamaican decent can pick up right away that the accent was fake. That goes to prove how successful she was at her portrayal when it comes to the majority.
Yup I saw that interview. She said her parents were Jamaican immigrants and her Jamaican accent was fake. But to me, she’s is of Jamaican heritage if her parents were born there and she has probably several generations of family from there.
Yes like clock work, you hear their native tounge when there speaking to another Jamaican or when they get upset. My ex is from the islands I've seen it.
Was Miss Cleo Jamaican? Based solely on her accent: NOPE. I don't know what her accent was supposed to be, but everytime I heard it, I laughed so hard. Could her birth parents have been Jamaican, possibly. But not many Jamaicans settled in the west coast. We wind up in South Florida and NY mostly. Whatever her true origins, she created who she wanted to be. I had no idea she had passed away, so here's hoping she truly is at peace.
I just can't. . this project upsets me .I choose not to watch a documentary that Miss Cleo family will not profit from& its pieced together from footage they barely have of her . I grew up in the 90's I know enough from that time what she went through. MAY MISS CLEO LEGACY & SOUL REST IN LOVE AND TRUE PEACE 🕊♥️
Wow. I feel really bad hearing that. Cleared my perception of her up. Who's surprised that some men were behind the scam. You had to be 18 to call. Well, when my daughter was a young teenager, I received a few large charges where she'd called. I called and said that I was NOT paying the bill, because Ms. Cleo should've known that she wasn't 18. Never heard from them after that.
People do not understand what the industry already knows. There must always be a fall guy and when they establish these businesses they already know what they are doing is illegal and unethical. They choose their fall person from the beginning when they choose their attorneys to represent them in the scandals.
I have a friend who was born in Jamaica but raised in the US, can switch her language at the drop of a dime. Maybe Miss Cleo grew up around people with an accent.
I’m Jamaican born & raised! Miss Cleo MOST DEFINITELY did NOT have Jamaican accent! I found it offensive when people joked about that & thought that was apart of our culture
Switching accents at the drop of a hat usually comes with authenticity. Meaning it is most likely your Original and authentic accent. Your brain would naturally revert to what is MOST natural to you
This lady directed the film and never found out if she's really Jamaican. The guy in the clip said she was born in Los Angeles and created this Ms. Cleo character who had a Jamaican accent. I guess it's still a mystery.
A couple of us were talking about Ms. Cleo and what ever happened to her? We thought that she was jailed for making more money than a black woman was suppose to have made. Who knew she died penniless? Thank you for setting the record straight!
@@trent_king to her credit Raven has also said she was told to invest by her parents so she wouldn't need to work which is why she was able to take a break from the industry So she was able to save what she made back then.
I watched the documentary. You learn absolutely nothing. I knew she was fake without anyone telling me. Did they use her probably did she allow it yes. RIP.
I met Miss Cleo at a lesbian get together and we had a good talk, she was a down to earth person and so easy to talk to. I do believe she was Jamaican, we both reminisce about growing up in Jamaica. And the fact that people didn't believe she was Jamaican.
Interesting, she definitely had some type of accent, but it’s not an authentic Jamaican patois accent, being Jamaican myself born and raised. Sad story
Now as someone who just started to get into tarot after a broken relationship, it actually pushed me to seek THE LORD further. I had strayed from my path with the LORD. I have recently read that tarot or people who see visions are demonic, yet I disagree. I believe GOD will any and everything to get our attention in order to bring us back to him. To seek him. He wants us to question what we don't understand. He wants us to talk with him all day and night. I am still new to being obedient. In hearing and actually taking in what I hear GOD say. I have actually been one who feels like I can read tarot or have special gifts. My advice to everyone is TAKE IT BACK TO THE LORD!! We cannot take people, places, or things at face value. We have to invite the LORD into our lives
A friend of mine said that some1 she had known called that psychic line b4.& Cleo told her if she leave work now she'll catch her man n the act.She left pop up @ the house & caught him n their bed with another woman♀️
Not Everyone want People reading them without consent. The People who do not find this kind of service should be respected. Respect People's private rights. Thanks for sharing
I remember as a little girl late night watching her couldn't go back to 💤 it was like when she came on the TV it was like magic you couldn't turn it off! I remember like it was yesterday Ms. Cleo.. this was a good one Tamara ☺️
This film, like all others, brings awareness to who this lady was. The inference here is that Miss Cleo may not have known or been completely honest about her identity. She says in the clip “they wanted me to act like I was fresh off the boat” but she never said she was pretending to be Jamaican.
She was Ms, Cleo the psychic she was supposed to know if she was being used or not, she was the reader and to help people. Was she really Jamaican?I didn't know she passed away, my condolences goes out to her family.
Damn I remember my great aunt calling her back in the day and when she told her something that my aunt didn’t like my aunt curse her all the way out🤦🏾♀️💀😭🤣😂
She was an artist and actor she always said she went into character. This is why they hired her. She audition for the part. She made miss cleo. Perform her role will but unfortunately was underpaid for the role. The 2 men who invented the show were crooks looking to make money from people. This is why they were sued not her.
Wow, so basically that company used her. They used her image and likeness to make that billion dollars. They then use her as a scapegoat for the corruption that THEY were doing. I actually watch a lot of people like Miss Cleo here on RUclips! Yes you can think whatever you want about tarot but these are people just sharing their talents. You don’t have to believe it. I just find it interesting how people can be ok with getting advice from Christian Pastors who also make money with their gift but when it comes to spiritual people we tend to shame and make fun of them. Loved this conversation! Great interview!
I remember her growing up, I love seeing the commercial of her😂 bc we knew she was just doing her job…she’s not Jamaican, she was born in Los Angeles California…💯
Why was this woman asked to do an interview if you are not going to answer any of the questions. Nothing that was said would cause me to want to watch the documentary.
Amazing how these parasites link to talented people, make money on their talent, then leave those who they leeched on penniless. They didn’t have the integrity to say, Ms Cleo, you are making this program rich… let’s get you paid. I know that’s stupid because thieves never share.
I like that she took on the responsibility to tell Cleo’s story, but still hiding in the shadows and not being honest when hit with questions, says to me you wasted everybody’s time. If you’re not ready to be honest, you should’ve left it alone.
I wish she had done it while she was living 🤯☹️

This happens ALL the time! My father’s “dash adapter” invention was stolen and is in EVERY single car today but he has NEVER been compensated. Every time you plug your phone in, use a car lighter, put drinks in the armrest etc. Thank my father!
Oh my! That is horrible 😢 what’s his name if you don’t mind sharing. I love spreading real history ❤
Yes please share his name!
We need to know ur real
Thanks dad!
We definitely appreciate it. It’s shame people steal other people invention or ideas.
What's his name?
Of course Ms Cleo was the “fall guy” for a company that made billions of dollars while she made next to nothing 🙄🙄🙄

Facts 💯 💯💯
Girl 🙄 she trying to shed light on things we did not know so stop iT
Her story deserves to be told.
If you knew her story a bit more personally you would know that her friends are very involved in helping revitalize her legacy. People have to be paid for their time and work.
HBO put it out. Tamron is just making light of a messed up situation.
I am sure Ms. Cleo wasn't Jamaican based on the evasion of the question! But what's more important to me is the manner in which this woman's "gift" was "pimped out" for service while depriving of the benefits received for that service! To hear she died "penniless and broke" while tagged as "a liar and a fraud" is a terrible miscarriage of justice. Because "justice" should not only have "cleared her name" but demanded restitution be paid along with compensation for "pain and suffering". If the Broadcast depicting her life as "Ms. Cleo" serves only to "ask questions" without vindicating her against the slander and accusations that resulted in her becoming reclusive, then it too is seeking to PROFIT off of this woman, offering nothing but an opportunity to ask questions for which they'll be no answers given! Because the one who knows is now dead and those who speak on her behalf, do so AFTER THE FACT when it mattered most when she was yet living. Ms. Cleo will not benefit in what is said, for she is no longer with us! The benefit is for those who speak attempting to "clear a conscience" for what "had not been said" in the time needed. What is the lesson here - if not "hide your gifts from the corruption of men" who will pervert it's intended purpose for the sake of "greed"? THAT will be the Legacy! Not words spoken to assuage ones conscience.
You should read some comments online. It is like they took her TV appearances personal.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well said
Yes this is well said. Although I don’t think we need to hide our gifts, we just need to OWN our gifts and know I’m our worth so we don’t sell ourselves to those who do not have our best interest at heart.
I remember my sister called Miss Cleo about her love life... ran the phone bill sky high! My dad got the bill, and beat da shit outta her😂😂 we joke till this day.. and she still haven't found love😩😂
😂😂😂
I called Miss Cleo. she told me to write ✍️ down 3 things I want a career husband and baby. And it came true 17 years, married, but now divorced, a son and,a Biologist
🧫🧬, But the point is I ran the phone bill the F**** up, my family asked did she tell you a ass whooping was in yo future when the phone bill came, and she didn't no she was talking to a 16 year, lol my family had mad jokes But my 3 Wishes was Blessing from GOD, my SON, AND ME MEETING MY HUSBAND,I WAS JUST 21 AND THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING BETTER OUT HERE, AND MY EDUCATION AND PARENTS PAYING FOR COLLEGE LANDED ME A GREET CAREER, BUT IT was cook TALKING TO THE ONE AND ONLY MISS Cleo.may she R.I.P 🕊️

May she rest in peace. The young lady in this interview said a whole lot of nothing. She made money off of Miss Cleo too!
To' shay!!!..
Unless she found God before she died, she's NOT resting in peace.
R.I.P in peace how long are u white people using poor black people so sad.
Since the lady wouldn’t answer the question. She isn’t Jamaican. Any Jamaican person could pick up on the nuances in her accent and tell you that the second they heard her speak. Americans have a history of doing terrible Jamaican accents on film - look at cool runnings for instance. She could have been cast for that for sure. RIP though. This story is sad!
I live in FL so my ear is trained on island accents and she definitely wasn't Jamaican.
As a Jamaican i knew she wasn't, i used to thought the accent was maybe Trini or something, had no idea they thought they were doing Jamaican accent 🤔
Her accent was foreign and she sounded convincing and made us call. She bears some responsibility.
@@WonLotto100M nope
@@WonLotto100M please 😒
The featured guest isn’t directly answering the questions. I’m so confused 🤦🏾♀️.
I learned so much about Cleo by reading the comments. Thank you to everyone sharing their personal stories.
This interviewee was very evasive with her answers, now I’m not even interested in watching the film😒. RIP Ms. Cleo❤
That’s because she wasn’t even born when Ms. Cleo was on tv.
@@charletteharper2094 yes she was. No need to exaggerate
She is very young. But she is using a marketing ploy by being evasive. She is doing that arouse curiosity to get people to watch the documentary.

@@anonymouslee8287 - Ok. You have a wonderful day. Enjoy the MLK holiday.
I now feel so sorry for her. RIP; she was used and abused. However as an Afro Caribbean woman, I and all my other "West-indian" teenage friends of the 90's knew Cleo was a whole fake. Her accent was fake as well. Her accent was more fake the Denzel Washington's in the Mighty Quinn. Also, on a clip in one of her commercials, a person on the end of the line asked where she was from and she replied, the island of Maryland. There is no island/country in the Caribbean called Maryland. My friends and I nearly hit the floor with laughter. The Caribbean are full of people with the gift of sight, etc, unfortunately, Cleo was not one of them. People should not play games with spiritual things or faking gifts, it never ends well.
Yes, she was truly disrespectful she coulda play around with it all she wanted without using our dialect! When people play around with that side and don’t understand it! Us West Indians are truly gifted!
Spiritism is not a gift.. its communication with God's enemies, the Devil and his demons.
@@luvnyaalwayz Gtfoh with that nonsense 🤨
Miss Cleo may or may not have played with her spiritual abilities idk. I'm not judging her. Especially since she's no longer in this realm. Who can judge her. She believed she had a spiritual ability to help others but she was exploited by two people to play a role and those people made a fortune off her. Sure I didn't believe her commercials but she didn't deserve to be used
@Ms.Sangie True 💯
Okay so is she Jamaican or not? That’s a yes or no answer
The only good I can perceive from this story is that we are living in a time where truth is being exposed for the sake of the mental and physical health of humanity. May God strengthen, keep, and help us all. ✨🙏🏾✨
a Jamaican could tell that her accent was not authentic, it sounded very contrived
I had an old Jamaican lady tell me she’s Jamaican but that u can tell she has more of an American accent but she’s indeed Jamaican so I don’t know
@@1thegreat841 and that's why the elderly are targeted by many imposter scams
I’ve watched the documentary several times. She was an extremely gifted woman and I truly believe, she would have done much better if she just stuck with her radio show and built a business that way. Sometimes these huge opportunities are not huge and they are only opportunities for the opportunists who create them.
RIH Queen Cleo♥️💙
I doubt she's RIH.
@@scribe712You don’t know that anymore than I do.
This producer isn’t answering questions directly and Ms Cleo was a persona and nothing was real about it
Because I'm Jamaican I'll answer for you Tamron. She's not Jamaican 😂
How do you know?
That's the fakest Jamaican accent I've ever heard 😂
as Jamaicans we can tell when someone is faking our accent, there are little nuances that we pick up easily
Fakest Jamaican accent🤣🤣🤣
She was born in Los Angeles omg 😱
I watched this over holiday break. It was quite informative. I actually cried at the end for her.
Cleo was still talking with an accent 🧐 she kept the fraud going… she should’ve quit as soon as she seen she wasn’t getting paid..
Me too!
Sad to know how she was exploited and died without any money
Sorry to hear how she passed on. I remember her well as being the butt of many jokes. Hope she is resting in peace.
Didn't even know she passed away.
Resting in PEACE?? There is NO PEACE for the WICKED!

@@Ax.DaEdge how do you know she didn't repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior?
@@Ax.DaEdge you are right.

You are right. She might very well have. Not all adults always be set in their ways.
Was she a fraud? No answer. Was she Jamaican? No answer. This woman is NOT answering the questions, and it seems that the documentary doesn’t either
I LOVED me some Miss Cleo back in the day. In 2011 or so, she had a new website that she owned, and for the hell of it, I emailed the site and gave her my phone number and I STG, the real Miss Cleo called me from HER personal phone to thank me for the kind words. She was a funny, kind person and I will never forget our conversations.
Tamron looks so pretty... her outfit was really pretty
I called her twice and they were spot on but my phone was billed 150 . Fr
She's not Jamaican, she's from Florida. I meet her in person in Virginia.
She’s from California
I still remember Ms. Cleo and I didn't know that she was a lesbian and I didn't know that she had a partner. I didn't know that that the company she worked for used her to make money off of her thats sad and it make sense why she was struggling so much at the end before she died. Rest in Peace Ms. Cleo.
They always claim that... 😏
I really wish they would stop following us around exploiting our gifts and telling lies... it's old now.
Wait...so Miss Cleo didn't have a birth certificate???
This film director can’t answer the questions. She’s just promoting her film.
There is a more personal interview that Ms Cleo did herself with a friend and if I remember correctly she (Cleo) stated she came from a Jamaican heritage one or both of her parents. She used the accent yes, but its no different than many who have parents from the islands or other countries who are born in the US and know how to turn off and on their native tongue.
I come from a Jamaican heritage. I know many many people who can speak with authentic accent that were not born in Jamaica. Hers wasn't authentic, regardless of where she was born. That's that.
@@eijahholness337 I'm starting to notice from the comments that only the people of direct Jamaican decent can pick up right away that the accent was fake. That goes to prove how successful she was at her portrayal when it comes to the majority.
Yup I saw that interview. She said her parents were Jamaican immigrants and her Jamaican accent was fake. But to me, she’s is of Jamaican heritage if her parents were born there and she has probably several generations of family from there.
Yes like clock work, you hear their native tounge when there speaking to another Jamaican or when they get upset. My ex is from the islands I've seen it.
@@TheJCMlove yup we can spot a Ja-fake-an real quick😂🇯🇲
Shawty definitely did the cha cha slide around that "Jamaican" question. That was hard to watch.
I was like am I misunderstanding this answer. Thank you for clarifying I wasn't tripping.
Was Miss Cleo Jamaican? Based solely on her accent: NOPE. I don't know what her accent was supposed to be, but everytime I heard it, I laughed so hard. Could her birth parents have been Jamaican, possibly. But not many Jamaicans settled in the west coast. We wind up in South Florida and NY mostly. Whatever her true origins, she created who she wanted to be. I had no idea she had passed away, so here's hoping she truly is at peace.
Thank you
Can we take out the time to recognize how Beautiful Mrs.Tamron Hall is🤎💪🏾🙏🏽💯
Love her hair
Yes so sexi
I just can't. . this project upsets me .I choose not to watch a documentary that Miss Cleo family will not profit from& its pieced together from footage they barely have of her . I grew up in the 90's I know enough from that time what she went through. MAY MISS CLEO LEGACY & SOUL REST IN LOVE AND TRUE PEACE 🕊♥️
Wow. I feel really bad hearing that. Cleared my perception of her up. Who's surprised that some men were behind the scam. You had to be 18 to call. Well, when my daughter was a young teenager, I received a few large charges where she'd called. I called and said that I was NOT paying the bill, because Ms. Cleo should've known that she wasn't 18. Never heard from them after that.
People do not understand what the industry already knows. There must always be a fall guy and when they establish these businesses they already know what they are doing is illegal and unethical. They choose their fall person from the beginning when they choose their attorneys to represent them in the scandals.
I can't be the only one bothered by her "Cleo".. no ma'am it's Ms. Cleo, always was.. respect her name..
I have a friend who was born in Jamaica but raised in the US, can switch her language at the drop of a dime. Maybe Miss Cleo grew up around people with an accent.
Not she didn’t even sound Jamaican 🤣🤣 why not use her American accent!
@@caribdoll1800 I said “maybe”
I’m Jamaican born & raised! Miss Cleo MOST DEFINITELY did NOT have Jamaican accent! I found it offensive when people joked about that & thought that was apart of our culture
@@KnowWhat That's all I'm sayin.
Switching accents at the drop of a hat usually comes with authenticity.
Meaning it is most likely your Original and authentic accent. Your brain would naturally revert to what is MOST natural to you
This lady directed the film and never found out if she's really Jamaican. The guy in the clip said she was born in Los Angeles and created this Ms. Cleo character who had a Jamaican accent. I guess it's still a mystery.
A couple of us were talking about Ms. Cleo and what ever happened to her? We thought that she was jailed for making more money than a black woman was suppose to have made. Who knew she died penniless? Thank you for setting the record straight!
This is why actors who do non union get ripped off. Non SAG actors get paid once no matter how much something re-airs.
What's ironic is Raven said she doesn't get residuals for That's So Raven. She was paid 2500 per episode and that's it nothing for the reruns
@@trent_king to her credit Raven has also said she was told to invest by her parents so she wouldn't need to work which is why she was able to take a break from the industry
So she was able to save what she made back then.
I watched the documentary. You learn absolutely nothing. I knew she was fake without anyone telling me. Did they use her probably did she allow it yes.
RIP.
Wow, so you learned nothing about her after watching it?
I met Miss Cleo at a lesbian get together and we had a good talk, she was a down to earth person and so easy to talk to. I do believe she was Jamaican, we both reminisce about growing up in Jamaica. And the fact that people didn't believe she was Jamaican.
Wow very interesting
Her parents were definitely Jamaican, which by Jamaican law makes her Jamaican! She could’ve competed in the Olympics -that’s how Jamaican she is!
I believe that she was Jamaican.
Interesting, she definitely had some type of accent, but it’s not an authentic Jamaican patois accent, being Jamaican myself born and raised. Sad story
😏
Wayment she was 53 on 2016?!?? GEEZ! She was in her 30s when those commercials aired?!?
Right!!!!!
Now as someone who just started to get into tarot after a broken relationship, it actually pushed me to seek THE LORD further. I had strayed from my path with the LORD. I have recently read that tarot or people who see visions are demonic, yet I disagree. I believe GOD will any and everything to get our attention in order to bring us back to him. To seek him. He wants us to question what we don't understand. He wants us to talk with him all day and night.
I am still new to being obedient. In hearing and actually taking in what I hear GOD say. I have actually been one who feels like I can read tarot or have special gifts.
My advice to everyone is TAKE IT BACK TO THE LORD!! We cannot take people, places, or things at face value. We have to invite the LORD into our lives
Amen beautifully said
Tamron, I love your hair. It's so slick. I wish I could wear mines like that.
A friend of mine said that some1 she had known called that psychic line b4.& Cleo told her if she leave work now she'll catch her man n the act.She left pop up @ the house & caught him n their bed with another woman♀️
As a Jamaican, i don't know how they thought she had a Jamaican accent
Same lol
😂😂😂 I mean she has an accent but...wouldn’t say it was Jamaican 😔🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was not from Jamaica

I remember as a little girl late night watching her couldn't go back to 💤 it was like when she came on the TV it was like magic you couldn't turn it off! I remember like it was yesterday Ms. Cleo.. this was a good one Tamara ☺️
Exactly. 😆💯💃
Yes my mother and I loved her!
Wow didn't know what happened to her RIP Ms. Cleo. Thanks for the memories of my youth
I called her a lot and I don't regret it
This film, like all others, brings awareness to who this lady was. The inference here is that Miss Cleo may not have known or been completely honest about her identity. She says in the clip “they wanted me to act like I was fresh off the boat” but she never said she was pretending to be Jamaican.
Off subject but Tam I really love this hair style on you
Damn she looked 53 in the 90’s.
A simple question is asked is she Jamaican? This woman danced around. The answer is NO she was not Jamaican. Sad that her life went the way it did.
She was Ms, Cleo the psychic she was supposed to know if she was being used or not, she was the reader and to help people. Was she really Jamaican?I didn't know she passed away, my condolences goes out to her family.
Damn I remember my great aunt calling her back in the day and when she told her something that my aunt didn’t like my aunt curse her all the way out🤦🏾♀️💀😭🤣😂
She was an artist and actor she always said she went into character. This is why they hired her. She audition for the part. She made miss cleo. Perform her role will but unfortunately was underpaid for the role. The 2 men who invented the show were crooks looking to make money from people. This is why they were sued not her.
Wow, so basically that company used her. They used her image and likeness to make that billion dollars. They then use her as a scapegoat for the corruption that THEY were doing. I actually watch a lot of people like Miss Cleo here on RUclips! Yes you can think whatever you want about tarot but these are people just sharing their talents. You don’t have to believe it. I just find it interesting how people can be ok with getting advice from Christian Pastors who also make money with their gift but when it comes to spiritual people we tend to shame and make fun of them. Loved this conversation! Great interview!
I remember her growing up, I love seeing the commercial of her😂 bc we knew she was just doing her job…she’s not Jamaican, she was born in Los Angeles California…💯
The guest didn't answer one question straight!.. deflecting like crazy..
This lady just talked in circles!
She sure did looks incredibly

This is interesting. I remember the commercials. I love PSYCHICS. 🔮
“The US government really brought the hammer down against Ms Cleo for defrauding consumers.” (Because only they are allowed to do that)
White folks made the money, and she took the downfall for it!..
Ms. Cleo defrauded the government? Did she own the 800# company? So she was the only one involved?
Wow Tamron looks amazing!!
Amazing how these parasites link to talented people, make money on their talent, then leave those who they leeched on penniless. They didn’t have the integrity to say, Ms Cleo, you are making this program rich… let’s get you paid. I know that’s stupid because thieves never share.
I remember Miss Cleo commercials.
I hate that she didn't get her props and money.
However, something about this interview seems off to me also.
man.. ngl, I still love her
When they told her to lie about herself that was a sign to not deal with them
So heart breaking may God bless her!
There would be no “Tarot Land” without Miss Cleo. 💖 Bless up. 🌟
OK, PLEASE screen the next guest coming on the show promoting a documentary. A direct question should get a direct answer. 🤦🏾♀️
1. The very first question Tamron asked her was a yes or no that the guest didn’t answer.
2. All these years I thought “Miss Cleo” was a paid actress
