Cosmopolitan|May 2019

A-listers rely on facials, green juice, good lighting…and this elite group of mystics to navigate fame. We tried them out for ourselves.

The Secrets Of Celebrity Psychics

When news broke that Tristan Thompson had allegedly cheated on Khloé Kardashian with none other than fam friend Jordyn Woods, there was one person who saw something like this coming: Hollywood Medium’s Tyler Henry.

Kardashian and little sis Kylie Jenner appeared on the show back in 2017, and Henry got worked up and embarrassed while trying to prepare them for a situation involving a guy who was with one sister but trying to get with another.

Sure, Woods isn’t actually a born member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but she had been Jenner’s BFF since the summer before high school, and the two frequently referred to each other as family. So yeah, close enough.

Kardashian and Jenner aren’t the only celebs who’ve sat in a psychic hot seat. In addition to the other stars who have appeared on Hollywood Medium (Sofia Vergara, Rebel Wilson, and Karamo Brown, to name a few), rumors abound about who else has sought offscreen guidance from the beyond. A few A-list stars have allegedly seen psychics to communicate with dead pets. Lili Reinhart tweeted about wanting a refund after a psychic told her it would get better, but in fact, it got worse (she never clarified what “it” was). So, who are the psychics giving celebs these readings? Surely they’re not just pulling off the highway at the first neon sign, right? The whisper network is strong in Hollywood.

At just 23 years old, Henry is already the biggest name in this category. He started doing readings while still in high school and went pro shortly after graduating early at age 16. He snagged his first celebrity client—American Horror Story actress Sarah Paulson—at just 17, and word spread quickly from there. He got his own show after blowing a skeptical producer’s mind with an eerily accurate reading.
