Billie Dean Howard is a medium who is hired by Constance Langdon, and later, Iris. She is a character in American Horror Story portrayed by Sarah Paulson.
Billie Dean Howard is a medium Constance found on Craigslist. She has been helping Constance for years, trying to get Tate Langdon to move on to the next world. However, she is also weary of Tate, as she becomes to suspect a Hellish conduicy within him.
Billie Dean mentions she is in the process of shooting a reality show for Lifetime, in which she would help the bereaved communicate with their departed loved ones. Years later, she becomes a famous medium among celebrities.[1][2]
Constance and Violet seek her help to get rid of Chad and Patrick. She tells them of one very successful exorcism, in the year 1590, at the Roanoke Colony. Billie Dean says that all settlers died and subsequently haunted the local Native Americans. One of the elders used property that the English settlers left behind and burned it. He then said "Croatoan" to cast a spell to banish them. Billie Dean recognizes that Violet is dead and speaks to her through telepathy. She tells Violet that she is sorry that she died so young. Violet pleads with her not to tell Constance. Billie Dean talks about the great evils and the energy that feeds the house, lamenting all the regret and pain many of the spirits feel. Tate then appears in the background. She is visibly shaken and states that "He cannot be here". When Violet asks what Billie Dean's reaction was all about, Constance replies that it was because it is emotionally difficult for a medium to encounter a dead person. Since Violet herself is dead and Billie Dean has no problem with her, Violet suspects this is untrue. However, she later learns the truth about Tate's background.[5]
Billie Dean Howard is invited at the Hotel Cortez by Iris, in order to communicate with her friend Liz Taylor's deceased boyfriend, Tristan Duffy. Billie Dean wants also to film an episode of her hit Lifetime show in the notoriously supernatural hotel. The medium wades through the sea of ghost voices and senses a strong masculine presence, and explains that Tristan simply doesn't want to speak to Liz.
When Madison Montgomery is tackled by Beauregard Langdon and Behold Chablis attempts a spell in order to confront the ghost, they are interrupted by Billie Dean, who warns them how dangerous is attacking the ghosts in the Murder House, introducing herself as a "medium to the stars" and recognizing Madison as a witch. Thereafter, the trio is approached by Constance Langdon's ghost coming. Later, Billie refuses to give Madison and Behold any information about Michael Langdon.[2]
She is a very gifted medium, with wide-ranging psychic abilities. Constance Langdon described her as "100% authentic". Her gifts manifested for the first time when she was 25 years old, while she was brushing her teeth and her employee's ghost appeared.
Despite only appearing on a single episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 1, Allison DuBois certainly left a lasting impression on longtime viewers. Overall, Allison's many iconic readings (even though she was off the clock) and e-cigarette are still remembered by fans over the years. As such, here is everything Allison has been up to since her infamous RHOBH appearance.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 1 premiered in 2010 following six wealthy women. The main cast consisted of Taylor Armstrong, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, Kim Richards, Kyle Richards, and Lisa Vanderpump. In one of the best RHOBH episodes of all time, called "The Dinner Party From Hell", Camille hosted a dinner party and invited her famous friend Allison DuBois. Allison is the inspiration behind the show Medium and used her psychic powers to let Kyle know that her husband will never emotionally fulfill her. She also added that Kyle is better around men than she is women, which Kyle denied immediately.
Allison has also continued her work communing with the dead, as she has written books, movies and even created her own university about it. She has written three more books since her RHOBH appearance, the latest one in 2020, about how she has connected her clients to their passed loved ones. According to IMDb, Allison also took part in two documentaries about the afterlife in the past couple of years. On Allison's official website, she created Dead University and offers lessons to help people become mediums.
This is the story of how I understood that I was a medium and that I was connecting with spirit as a child. This is the background for my mediumship experiences and what drove me into a life filled with spirit and metaphysics. 041b061a72
