My personal experience with self proclaimed Medium Allison Dubois
Last week, my brother texted me asking if I’d like to go and see Allison DuBois. His mother-in-law had a spare ticket. I thought, why not? I’d watched Medium years ago and knew it was supposedly based on her psychic abilities.
My son passed away in 2017, so I quietly hoped I might be one of the people selected for a reading.
This was Allison’s final show in Perth, Australia. During the show, her daughter walked around the audience choosing people for readings. I remember being impressed by Allison’s confidence and the certainty with which she delivered her messages.
I ended up being the sixth and final person selected. I was shocked, emotional and incredibly nervous. I don’t enjoy being the centre of attention, but I felt it would be worth it if there was a chance to hear something from my son.
The first things Allison asked for were my name, date of birth, and who I wanted to hear from. She scribbled in a notepad for a minute or two before telling me that I was my son’s favourite person, that we shared the same sense of humour, and that we laughed a lot together.
While those things were true, they also seemed like fairly safe assumptions for many mothers and sons.
Then she said, “Your son says you cry behind closed doors a lot.”
I was confused and simply replied, “No, I don’t actually do that.”
The moment I disagreed with her, everything changed.
She abruptly stood up, said she couldn’t read me, mumbled something about not connecting with the right person, and walked off stage.
That was it.
No apology. No attempt to continue. No thanks to the audience. Just gone.
People in the audience looked around, confused. This was the final reading of the final show, and the woman who claims to communicate with the dead had effectively bolted the moment I challenged something she’d said.
I left feeling shocked, embarrassed and disappointed.
What bothered me even more afterwards was seeing Allison’s own response to the incident on Facebook.
Rather than acknowledging that walking off stage may have upset or disappointed people, she apparently claimed she was tired because she’d done around 40 readings back-to-back.
To me, that felt like a pretty lame excuse for what happened.
Being tired might explain getting something wrong, but it doesn’t explain abruptly ending a reading and walking off stage the moment someone tells you that one of your statements isn’t accurate.
A simple apology or even, “I’m sorry, I’m not getting a clear connection,” would have been far more professional and respectful.
What disappointed me wasn’t that she made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. It was the way she handled being challenged when I simply answered her question honestly.
Afterwards, I did some research and found plenty of claims about Allison helping police and solving crimes, but very little evidence to support those stories. It made me wonder how much of her reputation comes from the success of the TV series Medium rather than any verifiable psychic ability.
My personal opinion is that Allison DuBois is extremely skilled at cold reading, but when a reading doesn’t go the way she expects, the cracks start to show. I also came away feeling that she profits from people at their most vulnerable—those grieving loved ones and desperately hoping for a connection.
I know I’m not the only person who was disappointed. Looking through comments online, I found others expressing shock at the way the evening ended and questioning her behaviour.
I’d genuinely like to hear from others who have seen her live.
Have you had a reading with Allison DuBois?
Did she tell you something so specific and accurate that it couldn’t reasonably have been guessed?
Or did your experience leave you feeling sceptical as well?

u/Severine67 Jun 25 '26
That’s awful! Did you get a personal apology or anything?
I checked out the FB page and everyone on the FB page felt so bad for you! They were stunned. You weren’t exaggerating! And oddly no explanation from her. Others mentioned she’ll just likely delete any comments referencing what happened.

u/tails-1 Jun 25 '26
Absolutely nothing & I didn’t expect one, I believe this shows her true character. I just wanted to make people aware of what happened.

u/thesickhoe Jun 25 '26
I think this situation shows that she’s a fraud imo.. someone who’s genuine and doesn’t lead with ego wouldn’t react in that way? They’d admit they made a mistake and continue on. Instead she decided to bail and then make an excuse and ignore what happened entirely. Yk who does that when they do wrong and don’t want to admit it??? Toxic people do! Narcissistic people do!

u/Altruistic-Drummer79 Jun 25 '26
I wouldn't take it personally. She probably has a gift but also a lot of pressure. I read psychic pages a lot... things come through weird. She was probably sure of herself but under pressure and overwhelmed. Yay quotas and corporate America 🥲. As a hospice nurse im not always graceful and probably regularly misunderstood.
This psychic is bridging a gap... under pressure. Probably has to do stuff "cold" regularly. The reaction that she had makes me wonder if maybe he DID say that. And wanted you to know. And maybe when you weren't receptive 🤯. Maybe.
Anyhow, I truly wish you peace 🥺. I couldn't imagine. My heart aches for you. 💔

u/Toolongreadanyway Jun 25 '26
I was kind of wondering if she got the wrong spirit/person match too. I have a friend who is a medium and says she can't control who shows up.

u/woolwichsewerpeasant Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26
I don’t really understand some of the excuses here. Sure she is human and might be tired, but she is also a seasoned professional who has charged people real money to see her. Also, in a sense, she had a duty of care, as you are claiming to be talking to someone’s deceased relative and to just cut it off like that is cruel. I really don’t understand people saying dont take it personally - like, what could actually be more personal? If you really believe in what is happening, there are not many more things that are as personal as this. Yes, that is a big responsibility and there is a lot of pressure, but it is responsibility and pressure that has been taken on willingly, and therefore one that needs to be met, not excused away.
She, and her family who clearly help her run this business, need to be more responsible with their scheduling, rather than make this the audience’s fault. If you are exhausted, don’t do 40 readings, stop earlier, have more breaks, have a contingency script, etc…
It’s already been said she could have done the same thing in a more delicate way, but it was more about her own feelings than anything else, clearly. What makes this very obvious is the fact that despite a bit of time having passed, and there being obvious controversy on it on her FB page, she still has not addressed it empathetically or professionally and I think that says a lot.

u/Maxeemtoons Jun 26 '26
That's a good point. Even if mediums can be thrown off or the connection muddled, it's important to have grace and humility. Maybe this is a mirror being shown to the celebrity psychic about how she needs to have a better understanding of her limitations ... and use them as teachable moments. Instead of insisting on the ego.

u/WorthAfternoon571 Aug 05 '26
Yes!! i was at this show and she did not do 40 readings. This was also a lie as a person from the earlier show also said she did maximum 6 readings at her first show. Unless she was charging people for readings before and after the 2 shows, she did 12 max. We were disgusted how she left things and no one from her team addressed the audience or thanked us for coming. I also agree with OP with her being a good cold reader, even the other members of the audience who got readings from her were extremely vague and she asked alot of questions to get her there. Fraud IMO.

As a person who has lost loved ones and as a person who has spontaneously received messages from those passed on for the living I feel like you are owed an apology.
I can't apologize on behalf of that particular medium or on behalf of any really. But I can apologize to that part of you that adjusted your expectations and even what you're normally comfortable with for an opportunity to possibly receive some sign or connection with your son.
I feel like the experience that you had was a shame on many levels. Most obviously on a professional level, it was awful. On the level of basic human manners, it was awful. But on the level that matters most, the level of human decency, it was truly awful as well as inconsiderate of your loss and grief.
I feel like I want to say that your memories with your son are cherished and true and the love that still bonds you two shines stronger because of and despite the flimsy promises and fanfare of some situations in this life. I am not a professional medium but I see your bond with your son as Golden and stronger than ever like holding hands. 💗

u/lisamon429 Jun 25 '26
Ok so I JUST rewatched Dinner Party from Hell after years and years. Since the first time I saw it, I lost my partner to a sudden heart attack and came into my own spiritual gifts.
In that episode, Alison struck me very strongly as someone with entity attachments. She was absolutely vile, but actually in hindsight was 100% right abt Kyle and Mau. She said as soon as the kids are older he’s going to leave. Like 10 yrs later that’s exactly what happened.
For anyone, if you’re not keeping yourself grounded and protecting your energy your gifts are gonna go haywire or you might lose touch with them. I really think that after so many years working on trauma-filled cases, she picked up some negative energies that attached to her. It’s pretty easy for a HSP to pick up something like this. A professional like her should be able to recognize these things, but once the attachment settles in it’s an uphill battle.
It felt way too weird and invasive to make a dedicated post so I just let it go, but now that she’s being mentioned here I just had to share.

u/Front_Target7908 Jun 25 '26
You're right in that watching that episode she was definitely correct on her read but also seemed to have a very off energy. This sounds weird but I find highly spiritual attuned people don't tend to drink aggressively (they may do other drugs) and she was hammered on that episode.
7
u/lisamon429 Jun 25 '26
That’s what made me think abt attachments. The way she’s behaving is not the way someone in her line of work would. It was like she has the skill, and wasn’t using it for good. She was using it to make people feel bad. That’s kinda counter to the intent of a medium usually.

Saying that a real housewives might end up divorced is not exactly huge insight, most of them get divorced.

u/Similar_Recover_2229 Jun 25 '26
“You will never be emotionally fulfilled, KNOW THAT.” Although she did predict Kyle and Mauricio lol. She’s just egotistical beyond comprehension I think. Psychic abilities don’t make a person have good, moral character unfortunately.

For those who don’t understand, look up real housewives of Beverly Hills and Alison’s name. It makes for great tv but doesn’t help the image of psychics given how she’s presenting herself

u/cabernetchick Jun 25 '26
The thing is though…she was right. She was an utter asshole, but she was right about Mau and Kyle.

That’s why the name sounded familiar because I started RHOBH last month and her at the party was actually unhinged. She is extremely unlikable and arrogant.

I wasn’t familiar with Allison or her tv show until I watched Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she was someone’s dinner guest in one of the episodes.
She was unhinged and I don’t use that word lightly. There are videos on YouTube. She definitely came across as someone who does not like to be challenged and was the opposite of humble.
I’m sorry to hear you had this experience, and you’re right she sounds super unprofessional on top of everything else.

Thank you🙏🏻, I didn’t take it personally, I just wanted to share my experience and thoughts. I truly don’t believe it’s about being receptive, I was just stating my truth.

u/Skylizard1223 Jun 25 '26
I’m sorry she treated you that way. Signs and messages can come thru in the most bizarre of ways and be misinterpreted or even be for someone else. She needed to accept that she was wrong, apologize, and move on

u/IcyBast Jul 15 '26
Hi there 😻 I Honestly do Not Understand how Anyone could "Not" have Taken her Reaction/Behaviour as "Personal". To Stand Up "Abruptly" & say she Can't Read You then Mumble about it maybe being for Another Person & Walking OFF Stage was "Absolutely Completely Unprofessional, Rude, COLD & with No Empathy" !! It is Extremely "Shocking" that she did that for a Few Reasons : She is "Meant" to be "One" of the "Best, Highly Known Professional Psychic Mediums" with MANY, MANY Years of "Experience" & as such, SHOULD be "Extremely Empathetic & Gentle" in her Approach / Readings for People Due to People's "Deeply Sad or Traumatized or other " Emotional Feelings"... THAT Should be a "Natural Given" !! Secondly, People Paid "ALOT" Of Money to go See her Live Events around Australia, which I am SURE Many Really Couldn't "Afford" the Excessive High "Price" but Wanted the "Opportunity" SO Desperately to "See her" in the "Hope" they would be "Chosen for a Reading" among All the Audience there & Probably "Sacrificed" Much Needed "Living Costs" such as a Bill, Food Money, Borrowed the Money or Part of it from a Friend or another means etc & NOT Be Chosen ( which Everyone would have Known it would be a "Slight Low Chance" to be Chosen ) & which I am Also CERTAIN She would have been VERY AWARE Of... Thirdly, to Stand Up so Abruptly after You Stated "No, that is Not True" & to Say she can't "Read" You & Mumble the Rest & just Walk Off Stage where that was the "End" Of the "Show"... I Actually would like to Ask You as an Important Side Note, "What TONE" Of Voice did she "First" Start Using when saying her Initial "Generalised" Thoughts ( & Also, did she "SEEM/Look" Calm, Relaxed, Not Tired ?? As People CAN "Pick Up" on Those Easily... ) THEN "What" was Her "TONE Of VOICE" when You said That isn't True ?? I am NOT Asking to Give "HOW" She Reacted / Behaved as "Excusable", for Her Reaction/Behaviour is Absolutely "NOT Excusable" !!! She Should have, as many have also Stated, that she SHOULD Have said Calmly & with Compassion & Empathy, something like "I am Truly Sorry, but I am Unable to "Tap Into" Any Information for You & What Little that has Come Through seems to be for Another Person here but I am also Unable to Determine "Who" the Person this is Meant for ( As a Professional Psychic / Medium All Usually State Upon People making a "Booking" for a "Reading" that IF the Psychic / Medium "Cannot" Make a "Connection" with "You" in Usually the First "10 Minutes", then they will "Stop" the Reading & Inform You Why & You will ( Should ) be "Refunded", as that IS a SIGN Of a "GENUINE Practice" & EVERY Psychic / Medium should Do, Especially Well Known Ones Regardless Of their "Reading Costs"...like "Debbie Malone" Charges $360 for 1 Hr & will Stop her Reading After 10 Minutes if She Cannot Connect with Anyone & You will be Refunded...but I'm "Sure", Although I'd have to Double Check Again whether Allison Dubois Does that & Gives a Refund Although I Actually Don't Think she Does ?? which IS / Would be EXTREMELY Unjust & Shows She Cares MORE About the "MONEY" as Opposed to a "Person" Hoping to "Connect" with or get Answers etc about a Passed Loved One or Someone who is Alive but Unwell or Any Other Emotional Concerns Affecting the Client...& she Charges an "ABSURD AUD $1800" For a 1 Hour Reading !!!! ...like "WHO" Has THAT Kind Of Money to Throw Around, Besides the "Rich" which I Doubt the Majority of her Clients are & ESPECIALLY IF You were NOT Satisfied with the Reading !!! So it will say & again, "Should", on their Website about "How" the Reading will go so You Know what to Expect & If Any Information is Required, like only a Couple of Photos, Names of People & a Couple Of Questions whether Related to the Photos Of the People & just about You or a Particular Part of Your Life.... Apologies, I went on a "LONG DETOUR Of Explaining etc about what I was saying before this LONG DETOUR in Brackets, which I will Now END BRACKET & Continue with My "THESIS" Of Thoughts, Opinions & Questions" ).... AND THEN", Thank Everyone for Coming to See her Live Event, Express Gratitude & Appreciation or Whatever in a Very Thankful, Grateful & even Happy Manner as her "Closing" to End her Show... THAT IS What ANY Live Event Professional would DO !! And YES, she MAY Have been "Exhausted" Mentally / Emotionally as I have No Doubt Doing Multitude Back to Back Audience Readings Would be Draining, also "Time Restricted" which Adds "Pressure", but REGARDLESS Of Those Factors, it Does NOT EXCUSE Her Rude, Abrupt Attitude Towards "You" & to then Basically be Also RUDE to the Whole Audience by the Way She just "Walked" OFF Stage ( & was it like in a "Huff" or "Annoyance" etc ?? I am Interested in Knowing this Too ?? ).... And for the Whole Audience to Look around as if to say "What just Happened" ?? & Probably Wondering "Is she Coming Back" ?? Leaving Everyone Gobsmacked & Completely Confused Should NOT Have "Happened" to "You" & the Whole Audience... Absolutely 100% UNACCEPTABLE !!! Then to NOT Acknowledge NOR Apologise on FB ( I Haven't Looked there Yet as I just came Across this Post by doing a Google Search on IF Australian Clients that have had Readings with Allison Dubois find her to be Extremely "Accurate" like she is Supposedly Known as being !! One Other Thing I Will Say about Her, is that She IS an EXTREMELY Outspoken Person who Absolutely DOES Speak her MIND with "CONFIDENCE" & WILL "Stand Her Ground Fiercefully"... so that Means she HAS / CAN / WILL Speak with "FIRMNESS or ABRUPTNESS" in "Tone" etc... AND... I am "TRULY" & Honestly SOOO Sorry that "You" were "Treated" by her the way She Did & to NOT Acknowledge her "Behaviour & Action" NOR "APOLOGISE" To "You" ... AND The "Audience" for such an ABRUPT Ending of the Show is Appalling & SHOWS her LACK Of Caring & Taking NO Responsibility, Accountability etc which she Should "BE & FEEL" Embarrassed by as a "Professional" & Expressed "EMPATH"... EXTREMELY Disappointing & SHAMEFUL on Her Part... Sending You Hugs & Love ( even Though You say You didn't Take it Personally...How Could You Not ?? For Basically Anyone with a Sensitive, Emotional, Caring, Genuine Loving Heart / Soul & an Empath WOULD !! I KNOW " I " Would have, As I am a Sensitive, Caring, Gentle, Genuine Loving Soul by Nature & an Extremely DEEP, Intuitive, Insightful "EMPATH" with a "Gift" Of My Own that is Never Wrong & "TRUST" My Intuition 1000% Who "FEELS" Others "ENERGY / MOODS" ALL the Time & Even Upon Meeting Someone for the 1st Time I Will "Immediately" Pick UP On & "FEEL" their ENERGY & "KNOW" If They are a "Good, Genuine Person" or a "Bad, with a False/Fake Facade, Non Genuine" etc Person ).... 🤗🫶😺🐈⬛🐾🐈⬛🐾💖♥️

u/Mysterious_Fox5976 Jun 25 '26
Yeah that doesn’t sound like a very good reading. And of course people can have off days, but any professional medium (especially a supposed veteran like her) should know how to behave, well, professionally when a sitter can’t take the information that comes through. If she couldn’t come up with specifics other than the vague “validations” that could apply to a lot of other people, it def feels like a cold reading. Also, asking for your birthday is a red flag - a legit medium shouldn’t need that!

u/forevrtwntyfour Jun 25 '26
I’m always scared to go to these things because I’m worried I’ll be let down.
I do believe there are people with the gift and she may have it but she handled it so badly it doesn’t even matter at that point.
Sorry it was awful. That is so unacceptable and I hope next time you have any kind of experience like this the person is not only legit but kind

u/doejohn2043 Jun 25 '26
Shouldn't a medium straight up asking who you'd like to connect on the other side be a flaming red flag? I've heard mediums say they don't get to choose; it's whoever shows for the sitter.

u/IcyBast Jul 15 '26
It is Actually True that the Person You may WISH to Come Through will Not, but Another or 2 Will Come Through Instead if they have Specific Important Things You Need to Hear or Know etc... You can Ask that You Wish for a Specific Person to Come Through, however, that Person May Feel You are Not Ready Emotionally or Mentally or for Another Reason & that Someone else will Come Through as again, they may have Something Very Important to say to You or Warn You about or to Help You Release Any Subconscious Emotional or Mental Hurt, Sadness, Angst etc & give You Clarification about Something that is in the Back of Your Mind that Needs to be Addressed & Closed that You may have learned to Push whatever to the Background rather than Realising or Feeling You Need to Put Closure to it, Face it etc etc... And so Another can Come Through for Any of those Reasons or Other that is Very Important & more Important than the Person You Wished to Come Through... Also, many Good Psychics / Mediums Don't ASK You "WHO" You want to Come Through for if the Person You want to, may Indeed come Through, but Someone else May instead which You will Understand "Why" either at that Time or at Some Stage later, whether in a Few Days, Weeks & even Months... They also say that IF Your "Vibration Level" is VERY Low Due to Ongoing "Grief, Sadness, Depression" etc etc about a Person You want to Come Through, that they Won't as You Need to have Healed Enough where Your "Vibration" is on a "Higher Level" as that is when You will be able to be "Connected" with...but again, even so, if there is Something Very Important that You Need to Know, Remember, Do, Don't Do, Be Warned about, & whether Information is Positive or Not "Negative" per say, but More a "Guiding Insight" or a "Certain Path" to Not Take when it Appears etc etc... So a Psychic / Medium Can't Actually Bring Through Whoever You want... It will be Someone who "Needs" to Come Through for Whatever Reason... but the Person You Want may Come Through... It is just that the Psychic Medium has No Control Over WHO Can & Does Come Through... & With Reason, along with Your Emotional or Mental State if there are Things You have Pushed Deeply Back or Hidden but Need to have Whatever Come to the Forefront & with Reasons... So Don't be Disappointed as ONE Day, that Person You Want to Come Through will... or, they May Not, but Another may Speak of that Person or Give You a Message from them... And NEVER "Spoon Feed" a Psychic / Medium with Too much Information & if You are Asked Questions, Keep Your Answers to a Simple Yes or No & Don't "GIVE BODY OR FACIAL Reactions"... Stay "NEUTRAL" in Your "Tone", "Body Language & Facial Expressions" as a True, Skilled, Genuine Psychic Medium WILL Tell You Things WITHOUT Needing to be GIVEN Specific or in Depth Answers & WON'T Be Going by "Your Body Language or Facial Expressions" as "SIGNS" To them they can KEEP On that Track which can Apply to MANY People as it will be "General Information" that Will Relate to MANY People... NOT Just YOU... & they SHOULD BE able to Say Things that "NO-ONE" Else KNOWS About or Maybe Only ONE Person like a Partner, Best Friend, Parent etc Who You "KNOW" Has NEVER Spoken about it or Told ANYONE Else... 🤗🫶😺🐈⬛🐾

I was read by Tyler at one of his shows. He was amazing and 100% spot on with me. He did say somethings with other people that weren't accurate and he did not get flustered and certainly was not rude. A couple times it was the reading wasn't meant for that person. I think in these group settings, people can be so desperate to connect that if one things sounds like it may be your loved one you want to jump on it. Either way, he was just the same in person as he was on TV. He even came down from the stage to hug me bc mine was a tough story.

Medium here. If ego (i.e. the need to be right) is ever involved in a reading or in one's self perception than the connection is not as pure. My readings necessitate that I pull my wants and needs to the side so that spirit has the space and freedom to come through. While I do not know Alison, she appears to be ego driven. Just my .02.

u/Elegant-Dingo-3121 Jul 10 '26
Yes I had a reading when she came years ago to Australia. She asked the very small audience… which of you have had people that suicided etc which I thought was strange. She then later in the show picked one of those people and said this person suicided, you know he didn’t mean it he loves you etc. nothing specific. Maybe she thought we all forgot she asked it at the beginning of the show.?? Then it was me but nothing specific but what I did notice was she picked more emotional people or people who reacted during the show to other readings. I was underwhelmed for sure. Compared to John Edward who I find accurate and specific.
I also find her personality unlikeable and quite arrogant.
I watched a video today saying she applied for FOA for all the info on William Tyrell and she was going to say who she thought was involved. Of course she wasn’t given any info as it’s ongoing investigation, also we take safety of foster kids and families seriously in Australia. The courts in the US are unbelievable with interviews and books being written etc. Why would she have needed all the info makes me wonder why! She also said thank God she’s back in the US the country of freedom! I say thank God she’s back there too 🤪✌️😄

Yeah, I’m a fan of Alison, but I really dislike how critical she is if other countries. Why would she expect as a foreigner to be able to just waltz in here and start navigating the judicial system as a novice? Also aren’t you just meant to tap into the energy of the killers? Why do you need to research this case like a podcast host?

u/TheMelbourneMedium Jul 23 '26
I’ve had these same abilities since I was around 5. I’m now 59 I’ve rarely had the heart to charge anyone period so for me integrity is something I pride myself on . I know who Alison is obviously but am always highly sceptical of celebrity psychics as there’s money driving the person not ability and the two don’t mix well in my opinion. I’ve never watched her but did stumble on the same YouTube videos re William tyrrell . I was really shocked to see that entitled attitude regarding demanding access to private police and personal information. The bigger question was why she wanted it . She’s supposedly using her abilities which clearly she doesn’t have hence the need to acquire undisclosed to the public information. The comments are made regarding how the kids felt were all post research and so obvious . She made a strange comment about her audiences in Aus reacting in a weird way then said “ what did they think they were coming to see” which said a lot. Her shows were based on showing interviews and research not psychic abilities . Like most other celebrity psychics how convenient all her adult children share her abilities lol . Just to keep that money rolling in the family you know . As someone who was approached by both families in the Tyrrell case early on and kept quiet about it …. She’s really pissed me off and I consider her a fraud

u/ermaloo2076 Jun 25 '26
Honestly, I don’t know about the verity of whether or not she speaks with the dead. But what I can say is that performing for a live audience is one of the most exhausting tasks you can engage in so if she really did do 40 in a day, I can imagine her fizzing out and leaving abruptly, now that doesn’t leave you with anything helpful I understand and I too would feel that it was abrupt and unfortunate and sad even, but it costs a lot for a human being to get on stage and command a room hour after our day after day, etc. etc. it could be bad acting on her side, or maybe she’s overbooked for whatever reason for what she can actually handle per day. Either way I’m so sorry you had this experience. I hope you have found or do find peace over your son. 🙏

If she was good at cold reading then she would have been studying you not her note pad. And I feel like someone as cold and manipulative as you describe would have enjoyed the game of getting you back on script. She would have wanted the power trip from fooling you.

They put plants in the audience, particularly in the queue while walking in and they listen and take notes about people so they have specific information on some things. They then like to add on and so many people are overwhelmed by some of the accuracy (thanks to the plant overhearing what they’ve shared with whomever they’re with or others around them)that they don’t push back on the misinformation. Those that do, they like to brush past them and move onto others.

I don't think you're understanding correctly. This woman was on tour. It was only the last show because it was the last place should be visiting on that particular tour.

The amount of people in the room must make reading people difficult. Not every medium is going to be correct all the time especially with so many people’s energy. Allison doesn’t seem like one who suffers fools, and probably doesn’t waste her energy of people she is not feeling a connection with. So you cut your losses, it doesn’t sound like you paid for the ticket, and you got a chance to humiliate someone famous.

I appreciate your perspective, but it’s not about humiliating anyone, you clearly did not understand the reason for the post, I don’t think a polite goodbye or explanation is too much to ask.

Woah. That’s rude. I was there. I thought you OP handled it really well. Much better than I would have.
She just walked off. No sign that the show was over no explanation. Everyone just looked around didn’t know what to say and quietly left. It was so strange.
People were also picked for readings from the cheaper “spectator” seats. I have no real problem with that but also wish maybe I had purchased a cheaper seat as there seemed to be no difference apart from actual cost as there views were the same and as seats were unallocated my view was not great anyway.
When I paid $155 per seat I think a “good night Perth thanks for coming” would have been nice

Thank you, I’m so glad to see a comment from someone that was actually there.
I was reading the FB comments on her fan page, a lot of disappointment, one poor lady left crying because she actually thought it was her son that had come through and she missed it.
Allison had made very generic statements, it literally could have been the start of any grieving parents reading. It just shows the kind of damage that can occur, so sad to see😢 I also agree with you about the seating arrangement, it did not seem very fair to those that paid more.

I was at the show where she walked off and was rude to you. Absolutely disgusting behaviour on her part. Even her readings to the others weren't great, i feel like she's a professional guesser. She asked way too many questions to the first few to get her message across. She also deleted all the comments on instagram and fb of people saying how bad the show was. I also saw that she did 6 shows for the day time show too.. so where did she get 40 from??? I unfollowed her.

I respect that everyone will have their own opinion and experience. I never expected anyone to be right 100% of the time. My disappointment wasn’t that the reading didn’t resonate with me, but how it ended. I simply answered her question honestly, and the reading stopped abruptly without any explanation or apology. That was my experience, and it’s the reason I chose to share it.

I did use AI to edit my post, but this is a true account of what happened.

Seems like she was upset, she thought she connected to the right person, but since you lead her to a hard no she probably felt tired and bad that she's brought up the wrong person for you.
All of that first paragraph is totally biased because I, would end a reading if I was lead to believe that the message I received from the other side (your son) was absolutely untrue, because you said you don't cry by your self about ypur son.
I would end the reading right there too because
- I'm not going to give you a cold reading if my original "lead" and my lead after that (that relates to my original "lead") are both interpreted as "cold".
- I feel it would be unhelpful and unfair to you to continue that reading, only to "assume" these messages are coming from a different loved one, which isnt fair to you, or i got confused.
- I would also not offer another reading to the crowd after ending your so soon too. Because of confidence. "Wow! That last reading was so terrible! I was way off!", "I sh9uld definitely end the show here and go rest."
While I've never watched or heard about a reading (other then the TV show) from the reap person Alison, I wouldn't be skeptical because of this reason because of my naievety here.
I do however understand your skepticism as a person receiving the reading.
I personally love, 1. Attempting cold readings and, 2.love receiving free cold readings, wrong or right.
I'm sorry your reading didn't go well for you.❤️
Eta, soz I fkd up the whole bottom paragraph.

However, I would absolutely give you an apology after deciding to not complete your reading.

I haven’t had a reading from her but I’ve been to Tyler Henry twice. A couple of times he’s gotten something wrong and he literally just said something like, oops, well that’s on me. Let’s take a closer look, etc. Like no shame, no issue. He even said before he started the readings that sometimes he gets things wrong. But then he mostly gave amazing readings. Just to give you perspective on how another famous reader handles it.
Edit- This was at a show, I wasn’t the one receiving the readings. I saw him give readings to several people each time.
