Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo Slammed In Hometown Paper: Reality Star Psychic ‘Not To Be Believed’

According to Franchi, Caputo struck out time and time again with audience members, clearly struggling to make connections with fans looking to communicate with their deceased loved ones.

“She announced that she wanted to speak with the mother of a young child who had drowned in a backyard pool during a party,” Franchi writes. “Yet no one seemed to fit the bill.”

Caputo allegedly later settled on a fans’ uncle whose lungs filled with fluid when he died of pancreatic cancer, declaring it a match.

“The doubt that had started to creep into my mind early on in the show now made a full-court press,” Franchi writes. “I wasn’t buying it, any of it.”

It seems that other audience members felt similarly. For every teary-eyed fan, “still others exited the theater before the performance ended,” she says.

After the show, Franchi met with Caputo backstage. The star then said something “oddly curious” while pointing out a mother/daughter pair who had also attended the exclusive post-performance meet-and-greet.

“You know, the first two people that just came?...She said the kid that drowned in the backyard at the pool party? She said, ‘That was my son, I just couldn’t even speak,’” Franchi claims Caputo told her. “She says, ‘I want to thank you because he died many years ago at a pool party.’”

“Was this an incredible coincidence or merely an attempt at damage control?” the writer ponders.

“For me, this unbelievable experience was simply that: not to be believed,” Franchi concludes. “In my humble opinion, Caputo is a damn good performer, and she’s got undeniably likeable sass and charisma. I just don’t think she speaks with the dead. Or she didn’t the night that I saw her.”
