TikTok psychics come under fire for \u201cchanneling\u201d spirit of Gabby Petito Instagram: gabspetitoTikTok \u201cpsychics\u201d are facing intense backlash across social media for their videos attempting to \u201cchannel\u201d the spirit of influencer Gabby Petito, who was recently confirmed deceased and a victim of homicide. The internet is still reeling from the latest news regarding Gabby Petito, a travel vlogger who was documenting her cross-country road trip with fianc\u00e9 Brian Laundrie when she went missing. Laundrie and Petito were caught on police body cam footage after a domestic dispute nearly two weeks before her last Instagram post on August 25. On September 1, Laundrie returned home in the same van he\u2019d been traveling in with Petito \u2014 but this time, he was alone. Petito has since been confirmed deceased and the victim of a homicide, according to coroners, while Laundrie remains missing. The situation has sparked outrage and concern across the internet, with fans and followers of Petito expressing their heartfelt condolences to her family\u2026 but not everyone is pleased with how some netizens are behaving amid the news. A few TikTok \u201cpsychics\u201d have attempted to \u201cchannel\u201d Petito\u2019s spirit in wake of the latest updates regarding her ongoing case, and commenters are not happy about it. TikToker \u2018Kelly the Magical Medium\u2019 uploaded a video on September 16 \u2014 well before news regarding Petito\u2019s death was confirmed on September 21\u2014 claiming to have had \u2018visions\u2019 regarding Petito\u2019s case, making several statements regarding Laundrie in the process. Another TikTok medium, by the username \u2018Kelsii Daviess,\u2019 similarly \u201cread\u201d into Petito\u2019s most recent photos, claiming that she saw visions of Petito \u201ccrying a lot, like I feel like she was not in a good place before whatever happened.\u201d These TikToks have sparked outrage online, with a slew of commenters decrying the psychics\u2019 videos as \u201cdisrespectful,\u201d \u201cinappropriate,\u201d and \u201cf**ked up\u201d amid the ongoing case. This isn\u2019t the first time that such a trend has taken over Petito\u2019s story, either. Recently, a \u201ctrue crime\u201d trend appeared around the vlogger\u2019s case, similarly sparking backlash for potentially spreading misinformation regarding the investigation and, overall, being shockingly insensitive to the victim\u2019s family. Coroners have not disclosed a cause of death at the time of writing and authorities continue to search for Laundrie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
