clairvoyant medium[3] since 2016.[4]
He has published two books.

Critics state that Henry's readings are performed using deceptive cold reading and hot reading techniques, and not "psychic" powers.

Personal life

Sierra Pacific High School and didn't complete college.[5]
Henry is openly gay.[6]

Career

According to Henry, he noticed that he had clairvoyant abilities when he was ten years old.[7]

In November 2015, Henry appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians where he gave a reading to one of the Kardashian sisters.[8]

In January 2016, Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry premiered on E!. In March 2016, it was announced that E! had ordered a second season of the show.[9] Henry published a memoir titled Between Two Worlds: Lessons from the Other Side the same year.[10][11] In 2022, he published a second book, Here & Hereafter: How Wisdom from the Departed Can Transform Your Life Now.[12][13]

A 2018 People article detailed Henry's claims about his abilities, the development of his "powers", and his reading with La Toya Jackson set to air in the new season of Hollywood Medium, in which he claimed to contact Michael Jackson.[14]

Hollywood Medium ended after four seasons in 2019. His next series, Life After Death with Tyler Henry, premiered on March 11, 2022, on Netflix.[15]

Henry has given readings to many celebrities, such as

Roselyn Sanchez, The Try Guys, and Tom Arnold.[21]

Death of Alan Thicke

On December 13, 2016, actor Alan Thicke died due to

psychic prediction, arguing that "Henry was again playing the odds" given that heart disease is the "number one cause of death for American males".[23]

Critical analysis

con and that Henry is no exception.[27][28][29] Skeptical activists and others concerned with Henry's rise in popularity have actively attempted to counter the public perception that what Henry claims to do reflects reality. In particular, they have argued that Henry relies on a mix of cold reading techniques and prior knowledge of his subjects, or hot reading, to make his claims.[30][31][32][33][34][35] Specific examples where it is alleged that he used these techniques include sessions with Ronda Rousey,[36] Carole Radziwill,[37][38] Matt Lauer,[39][40] and Nancy Grace.[16]

Critics have argued that Henry's actions are exploitative,[8] and he has been dismissed as one of many mediums who lack training in counseling, resulting in a "tremendous" risk of harm.[41] Henry reportedly welcomes skepticism about his work: "I am content with people asking questions", he stated in 2016.[5]
