Did 'Long Island Medium' star Victoria Caputo inherit her mother's spiritual gifts? She says...

growing up I swore I hope this like parallel isn't offensive but I swore that my house was haunted and like I saw ghosts and stuff like that and I just knew there was something like Paranormal about it and my parents like didn't believe me and they were like you you need help hi everyone welcome to Growing Up reality the show where we talk about what it's like growing up on TV with famous iconic and even Supernatural apparents I'm Brooks marks son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City icon Legend and literally my mom Meredith marks I have a feeling today is going to be iconic and we have Victoria Caputo daughter of the Long Island Medium can you confirm for us with your psychic abilities or do they like skip a generation um I would say they don't skip a generation but [Music] so let's get started with some of these questions what is life like now that this series is recently over so life hurting definitely still crazy I mean I can imagine you saying like it's normal I'm sure to everyone else is not normal yes when people are like oh so like what is it like like you being on TV and I'm like I don't know it that's what I grew up like it's that's normal for me that that's that's my normal right and when people ask me oh well what about like your mom speaking to dead people and I'm like that's normal but it's hard for people to understand has it always been like that growing up like you've just grown up with her being able to do that so from what I can remember growing up I've always known my mom talking to dead people and that was my life I would come home from school she would be in the kitchen reading whoever and I would go upstairs in my room and then when she was done I was able to come downstairs that's crazy that's like straight out of a movie yeah so what was it like processing all of that information for the first time and coming to the realization that not everyone's mom is like that you know how like everyone like asked you in school like oh what do your parents do I would always just say my mom was a stay-at-home mom because I didn't want to turn around be like um so my dad is an Italian importer my mom talks to dead people like I didn't want to be like that you know so when the TV show started I was like wow okay this is legit like this is this is real this is life now sometimes I still look at her to this day and I'm like how does she know that how can she do that you know and it's just it's just a gift do you have any paranormal abilities of your own this is hard because I feel like I'm navigating usually I could feel someone's emotions or interns or pains like that I can also do a little bit of what my mom does I know we don't share that with anybody I like to keep that kind of quiet but so moving on what was it like seeing yourself on TV as a character and how did it inform how you saw yourself moving forward so I was 16 when we started and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world oh my God this is so cool I'm on TV and like to this day I'm like we had a TV show I I don't even know it was just like I feel like I'm gonna be 28 now so it's like for 10 years this is what I've known right and it was kind of like okay there's gonna be cameras coming to the house and you're just gonna be yourself and you're just gonna film and then I felt like it just became like second nature and then like when I look back and I'm like oh my God why would I say any of that stuff I look stupid no one really knows you know how difficult and challenging it really really is yeah especially when you're being so open and like transparent about something so personal to your life correct and something that a lot of people don't believe in right I try to keep my confidence in everything up as best as I can right and just ignore ignore all the hate because there's people that are going to love you and there's people that are not gonna like you and that's just the reality of it that's so true and also like everyone always forgot so the people behind the TV screen are human beings right I feel like yeah I treat them like they're not from when I was 16 I had major anxiety and it was very very severe where I couldn't leave my house I lost 35 pounds oh my God and it was very debilitating and then I started gaining weight then people started commenting you're fat you're a pig you're this you're that it really took a toll on me but at the end of the day like I have to realize like I'm 28 now I can't look at myself when I was 16. everything changes and I just feel like I want to use my platform to show people that it's okay to gain weight it's okay to feel uncomfortable in your body but also like weight doesn't Define you and I don't want anybody to be ashamed of who they are I agree 100 I think that everyone just needs to shut up when it comes to commenting on women's bodies I agree so over it yeah on a similar note what was it like being on Say Yes to the Dress amazing tell me more so amazing loved everything about being on Say Yes to the Dress I went in there like knowing what I wanted but not knowing what I wanted and they nailed it on the head and like it was just fantastic well which one did you end up wearing I wore both you had you had outfit change of course it's so legendary like you wouldn't want to get married here I feel like yeah probably not you would like I think I would do a destination Italy or some I could also see you velvet so it's a winter wedding I don't know and I'm starting to believe this might be the truth are you using your abilities I don't know what's the difference between Bravo and TLC fans that is a really good question Bravo is I feel like all about like drama does that make sense and then like TLC like has like the quirky weird shows Dr pimple popper sometimes that comes up on my Tick Tock and I'm like next I mean the Bravo Community is so die hard they can be so loving and then the second you do something that they don't like they will eat you alive yeah which I kind of live for my last and final question for you is basically I feel like both of our moms have some pretty iconic looks I mean my mom's always wearing a blazer with a flare pant your mom's got like the legendary hair going on like what is her style been up to now that hair just keeps getting bigger and bigger every day every all right the flares on my mom's pants are getting bigger too it's like the nails are getting longer and pointier the hair is getting bigger but um she's always on point with her hair and her nails she has to have her hair and her nails done they're not done forget about it she's still my daughter yesterday she goes oh grandma was so busy with you all day I didn't even get to brush my teeth and I'm like okay Mom you know does she have the hair and the nails of course she did that comes before brushing the teeth I guess so so now we're gonna play a really fun quick game called this or that I'm gonna give you two things and I want you to pick one of them and tell me why are you ready yeah okay minimalism or maximalism okay so it depends I feel like I'm both so like for my house like very minimalistic like I like a clean classic look like when it comes to like makeup and like skin products like give me it all yeah fear of missing out or fear of better options fomo or phobo oh well because it's all about opportunities in life I agree I really don't have fomo because like I'm happy wherever I am the only time I have fomo is that the VMAs because they didn't see Nicki Minaj perform oh but anyway paranormal activity or lady Ghostbusters Ghostbusters because I don't think I'd be able to handle Paranormal Activity wow I'm opposite I'd rather watch Ghostbusters over Paranormal Activity yeah Paranormal Activity I would crap my pants oh my God the Ghostbusters is from like 1982. ghost by Justin Bieber or Monster by Kanye ghost by Justin Bieber I'm opposite a Monster by Kanye obviously because the Nicki Minaj feature if she's not on the track I don't want it though you love Nicki Minaj I do next up Nutella on Italian bread or peanut butter and jelly you know what I was thinking that you were gonna ask this question about peanut butter and jelly senses it's so tricky I love both but I think I would have to go with the peanut butter and jelly on potato bread potato bread yeah what's potato bread it's potato bread it's like the yeah it's I'll buy you a loaf it's really good lastly I see dead people or I am afraid of no ghosts I see dead people [Music] there's sometimes I see dead people so I'm used to that we're too young for this I don't know what this is that's the problem well thank you so much for coming here today and talking with me it was so nice getting to chat with you and hear all about growing up the unreality TV so thank you for coming thank you for having me I truly appreciate it and I loved meeting you you too [Music]
