Fateful phone call revealing threat foreshadowed impending legal, financial troubles for Palos Verdes Estates palmist.
Sophia Adams, a clairvoyant to the stars for more than 40 years, didn’t need a crystal ball to see that her Palos Verdes Estates business had been dealt the proverbial Five of Pentacles, a tarot card that foreshadows impending financial doom.
George Adams, who declined to publicly identify the attorney or the business rival because he fears retaliation, was shaken by the demand to immediately shutter Psychic Love Specialist By Sophia, which has operated in Palos Verdes Estates since 2020 and has counted Joan Rivers, Cher, and actress Delta Burke among its high-profile clientele.
And in October 2021, roughly a month later, Restrepo sued Sophia and George Adams along with the psychic’s daughter, Tiffany Winston, and landlords Christ and Polly Koutroumbis for alleged fraud, negligence, emotional distress and civil conspiracy. “This is all jealousy,” Sophia Adams said, describing the rival and his relatives as part of a “gypsy mafia.” “They want to be the only psychics in the South Bay area and they’re jealous of my company because I’ve been in business for many, many years. I have a good clientele, used to have a good clientele, but nobody’s coming now.
Restrepo’s lawsuit states that he, Sophia Adams and the other defendants are members of an ethnic group called the Romani, more commonly known as gypsies, which some consider a racial slur or pejorative.
