FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Just before Thanksgiving, fraud charges against television psychic Miss Cleo were dropped in Florida, and now Youree del Harris, the real woman behind the crystal ball, has broken her silence.
On camera, Harris (pictured) told Channel 10 News that despite what prosecutors say, she is the real thing and does have psychic abilities, which she calls the "gift of sight."
"Everything that I said on the TV that were my words, was real," Harris said. "Call me now was something required by contract to say. When I'd encounter people on the street and they said, 'Cleo we tried to call.' And I said, 'Don't call that number dear.'"
The commercials are off the air, and the company, which produced them, Access Resource Services, has settled with the state.
