Before Thats So Raven took the world by storm with her talents of seeing into the future; MissCleo had an entire generation in a chokehold with her psychic reads and hilarious catch phrase of “CALL ME NOW”
According to recent reports from Deadline, a documentary surrounding the life and career of the infamous psychic personality of Miss Cleo is currently underway.
“Claiming to be a shaman from Jamaica, Miss Cleo’s charisma and famous imperatives enabled the Psychic Readers Network, a pay-per-call service, to charge callers seeking answers over $1 billion for advice,” said XTR.
“But in 2002 it all came crashing down when the Federal Trade Commission accused the network and its owners of deceptive advertising, billing, and collection practices, bringing Miss Cleo’s reign as queen of clairvoyance to a dramatic end.”
Sources confirm that nonfiction entertainment studio XTR and production company Majority are set to produce the documentary. Filmmaker Senain Khesghi is said to be directing the documentary, he is currently interviewing people from Miss Cleo’s last for the film.
Sadly Youree Dell Harris also known as Miss Cleo passed away in 2016 following a battle with Cancer.
“Youree Harris may have been an accomplice or perhaps a victim in the Psychic Reader’s Network fraud but she also had talent and personality, which for women doesn’t always translate into access or wealth,” said Kheshgi in a forwarded statement.
“Her story is an example of how brown and Black women have historically been marginalized and exotified in society and popular culture. The enduring image of the dark, mystical woman still continues to perpetuate this stereotype. As a woman of color and a director who wants to explore stories from diverse perspectives, I am moved by how Youree found a way to navigate her life on her own terms.”
