Actress Allison Janney appeared on Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, who connected with her brother Hal after his death.
Just in case there was any doubt about Allison Janney’s incredible acting talents, the sheer volume of accolades she’s earned speak for themselves. Not only did she win an Oscar for her portrayal of LaVona Golden in the 2017 movie I, Tonya, but other awards include a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and several Emmys. The 64-year-old American star has smashed it in everything from the TV series The West Wing to more recent films like Bombshell. Tragically, she dedicated her Oscar to her brother Hal, who ended his own life in 2011 following struggles with depression and addiction.
Allison Janney sought help from medium Tyler Henry to connect with her brother
Previously making an appearance on the reality series Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry, Allison addressed ahead of her sit down with the TV personality that she already had people in mind she wished to connect with.
“I have a man coming through,” Tyler told her, who didn’t recognize Allison as the acclaimed actress she is. Appearing deep in thought, he relayed that every message coming through to him had a “comedic kind of undertone”. He described the connection as though somebody were cracking a joke at him.
“Oh he would totally make a joke about it, that’s him,” Allison said, believing it to be Hal. Tyler then followed up by saying “It’s, like, shaking a magic eight-ball for me.”
“That was my brother, Hal,” Allison revealed to him. “We had a magic eight-ball growing up that we used to use.”
Diving deeper into the connection he was experiencing, the medium told Allison “It’s tragic. This is someone who had so much potential… and the feeling is being alone even when surrounded by people, of just never being able to shake that feeling.”
Firmly established that her brother passed, she decided to show him some pictures of the pair of them, opening up: “He was enormously fun to be around… a lovely smart guy who never found a place to land.”
Allison Janney says ‘you can’t ever be okay’ after such a tragedy
The American Beauty actress told Tyler that Hal was always the person you’d go to for any issue, always offering valuable expertise and advice.
“He was my best friend in the world,” she mourned.
Tyler claimed that trying to grasp the connection resulted in some “fuzzy” results, but he noted there was an “apology” coming through for not being able to “verbalize” this certain feeling he had before it happened. Tyler wasn’t certain what that could mean, which is when Allison broke the news it was suicide. “That would be it,” Tyler realized.
Plumbing the connection deeper, he said there was a feeling of abusing prescription medication that was coming through.
“It’s not that he suddenly became depressed at the end of his life,” Tyler explained, “I just don’t necessarily know if his natural state of depression would have organically gone that route if there were not this underlying contributor that at least didn’t help the cause. There’s more to this..”
He said there was a feeling “almost a frustration” coming through. “Of, like, I wish I could’ve said something at the time.” On the other hand, he was sure to tell Allison that Hal now felt a sense of closure. That he was free at last.
“When someone you love takes their life, you can’t ever be okay with that,” Allison conveyed. “It’s always there. It doesn’t go away, and you wonder what you could’ve done.”
Fortunately, she admitted that it was nice to have Tyler find a connection to him, to provide some closure for herself. “It is comforting to think they are around us,” she reflected.
