Gabby Petito TikTok: Psychics criticizied, claiming to channel spirit - Insider

  • Self-identified psychics and mediums claim they're channeling Gabby Petito's spirit.

"Psychic" TikTok, where self-proclaimed mediums and spirit guides vie for viral attention, is under fire after some psychics began spreading conspiracy theories about the killing of 22-year-old Gabby Petito. A TikTok search for "Medium gabby petito" - an auto-filled search term recommended by the app - delivers dozens of self-professed psychics weighing in on what's now a homicide investigation.

But many psychics aren't spreading awareness about the facts of Petito's case, but rather claiming to have insight into details that are yet to be uncovered.

Videos criticizing the psychics covering Petito have also grown popular online. "Using false claims to gain clout off something so tragic, all the psychics and mediums on this app should be ashamed of themselves."

YouTube news personality Philip DeFranco also devoted a segment of his Wednesday show to the Petito-TikTok psychics, calling them "Trash" and Ferro a "Horrible person."

"You should be ashamed of yourself," DeFranco said.

Before Ferro disabled comments on her Petito post, one viewer wrote, "I'm just imagining Gabbys family coming across these videos from mediums and psychics saying these things and how they'd feel... Not ok IMO."

Ferro responded: "Ive helped find missing pets and even a missing person. I believe this gift is used to help others. I'm sure the family will take with a grain of salt."

TikTok psychics have even faced criticism from other mediums.
