this is reaching out into reality and ripping the literal hearts out of terrified traumatized human beings just imagine for a minute that you have children even if you don't and the worst imaginable thing happens they go missing you have no idea where they are you have no conclusion you toss you turn you bang your head against every wall but then you flip on montel williams

See Sylvia Brown with her stringy blonde hair and Jabba the Hutt posture, and she's telling other parents of missing children with confidence where their missing child is, what happened to their missing child, and whether or not their missing child would be found alive or dead.

But here's the problem.

While Montel Williams played tiddlywinks with Sylvia Brown, riding those ratings all the way to being a millionaire, the damage was being done because she was usually 100% incorrect.

By the way, we've asked Montel Williams to respond to the controversy about the reading Sylvia Brown did on his TV show.

He had no comment.

He also took a pass on appearing on this program.

Famously, she told the mother of Amanda Berry, a kidnapped teenager, that her daughter was dead.

And surprise, surprise, and the great kind of surprise, 10 years later, Amanda Berry was found alive.

She's gone, honey.

Do you know where she's at?

In the house or under the house.

She also famously got involved in the Natalie Holloway case and was wrong about that also.

But Montel kept booking her, the rating stayed solid, and some people clung to her predictions like they were gospel.

In every story, there is the antihero.

Vocabulary.com describes an antihero as someone who's often a little villainous.

Traditionally, the protagonist, a main character, and a focus of a story where that antihero is someone good, noble, and brave.

I'd love to tell you I have an antihero for this particular narrative, but I don't.

However, I do have an anti-antihero, and she is one of my favorite muses, Teresa Caputo.

You know the one, this lady.
