Celebrity psychic Thomas John was scammer and drag queen - NY Daily News

A psychic to the stars with a shady past as a scammer — and as a drag queen — swears he’s a changed mystic.

Thomas John, the self-proclaimed Manhattan Medium, was once a well-known Chicago drag queen busted in 2009 for posting bogus apartment ads on Craigslist and stealing security deposits from unsuspecting renters.

The 31-year-old now works as a traveling spiritualist who has written two books and claims to receive messages from the dead. His celebrity clientele includes Jennifer Lopez and Courteney Cox and he has appeared on “Entertainment Tonight,” according to his website.

But John’s metaphysical talents weren’t always so strong.
