Last night, Susan was watching an episode of ABC's "20/20".

I was in another part of the house (on the computer, of course) but would catch snippets of the dialogue and narration.

Eventually, I realized that the segment was all about the Cleveland kidnapping of Amanda Berry, Gina De Jesus and the third girl, whose name escapes me at the moment.

I went to watch the rest of it with Susan, catching the last several minutes of the segment.

It was a recent interview of Berry and De Jesus, intercut with photos of the rooms in which they were held captive and videos of their rescue.

One part that really turned my stomach was when Amanda talked about her ACTUALLY WATCHING THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST OF THE MONTEL WILLIAMS EPISODE IN WHICH SYLVIA BROWNE TOLD AMANDA'S MOTHER THAT AMANDA WAS DEAD.

She (Amanda) said that back then she watched the show every time that Browne was on, and that she often wished that her mother would go on the show so that Browne could tell her that Amanda was still alive.

Imagine her disappointment and despair when Browne told Amanda's mother that Amanda was dead!

It was mentioned that Amanda and Gina have a book out about their ordeal, and I intend to read it when I can.

ETA: The "MY" in the thread title was supposed to be "MW" (Montel Williams) - sorry.

After Amanda escaped, I believe that Browne made a statement to the effect of "I have never been so glad to have been proven wrong".

So, the answer to your question is: Not to my knowledge, no.

ETA: Here's the quote she gave to the Huffington Post:

For more than 50 years as a spiritual psychic and guide, when called upon to either help authorities with missing person cases or to help families with questions about their loved ones, I have been more right than wrong. If ever there was a time to be grateful and relieved for being mistaken, this is that time. Only God is right all the time. My heart goes out to Amanda Berry, her family, the other victims and their families. I wish you a peaceful recovery.

Right or wrong - I'm willing to bet she cashed the cheques with the same smile on her face.
 
That's just horrific. You can't even have a cynical chuckle over this. The thought of this young girl,watching her mum being told she was dead-and believing it. I can't even comprehend what the young lassie must have been feeling.
Tragically I've heard some people say stuff like"what Sylvia meant was emotional death"or other total drival. Psychics are all frauds who play with often unstable,or at least emotionally hurt,folks heads with no thought of the outcome.
 
Yeah, well, Montel's apology is as hollow as his morals.


It's a start, at least. AFAIK, it is the first time that he has publically acknowledged that Browne's nonsense can hurt people.
He was and remains a leech who felt no compunction about profiting off the pain caused by other leeches.


...and facilitating said pain, at that.
