Leah Remini: Can you imagine Tom Cruise without Scientology doing his dirty work?

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date June 6, 2025

Leah Remini has had a lot going on in her personal life the last few years. Her daughter went off to college, Leah herself enrolled at NYU for a liberal arts associate’s program, she sued the Church of Scientology for harassment and defamation, and she and her husband divorced after 21 years of marriage. That’s a lot! So it’s no surprise that she’s been pretty quiet lately. But she’s speaking up now, and the timing couldn’t be better. Just as Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is breaking box office records, Leah is here to remind us that the stunt queen is A) still a Scientologist, and B) hugely benefiting from the “church” doing extensive dirty work on his behalf, to keep his reputation (and ego) squeaky clean. Well played, Leah. I’d call that mission accomplished. Furthermore, Leah tells Us Weekly that she doubts Tom Cruise could function “in the real world” without COS covering his ass.

But even after more than a decade of speaking out, the actress says the Church still holds a powerful grip on some of Hollywood’s biggest names, many of whom continue to stay silent or benefit from the institution’s vast resources. At the top of that list, she says, is Tom Cruise, who remains the Church’s most prominent ambassador — and, according to Remini, its most protected. “Can you imagine Tom being in a normal world? Like, without Scientology doing his dirty work for him? No,” she tells Us Weekly of the Mission: Impossible star, who maintains a close friendship with Church leader David Miscavige.

Remini claims Cruise has long relied on Scientology to protect his public image, with the organization going as far as to orchestrate his breakup with former girlfriend Nazanin Boniadi in the mid-2000s and suppress damaging media coverage. “He’s given enormous power,” she tells Us. “This man who has a multi-million-dollar organization using all its resources to stop a book being written about him.”

According to Remini, when her Aftermath cohost Mike Rinder, a former senior member of the Church, left in 2007, he took thousands of documents with him. Among those, she alleges, there were “hundreds” demonstrating how Cruise’s team worked to shut down news stories — even people planning to fly skywriting over a movie premiere. “They used all kinds of resources because they couldn’t risk Tom’s precious eyes seeing that,” she adds.

…In recent years, both Cruise and [John] Travolta have been noticeably quieter about their beliefs, but Remini doesn’t think that signals a change of heart. “They’re being exposed for what they truly believe in,” she says. “And they realized, ‘We better shut up, or we’re not going to have careers.’ But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still in full agreement with what the Church does.”

Asked if she believes any of these celebrity members will ever walk away, Remini doesn’t sound hopeful. “I used to hope a lot of these people would leave,” she admits. “But I kind of feel like they need Scientology. I don’t know if they’d make it in the real world.”

[From Us Weekly]

Again, thank you Leah for these timely comments. I’m a bitch who holds a grudge, so whenever I see Tom Cruise pop up I can’t get past his Scientology association, let alone his status at the top of that cult. But he is savvy, and Cruise conducts himself in a way that makes it easy for people to turn a blind eye to COS. LaineyGossip had a nuanced take a couple weeks ago, noting how Cruise will show up to press junkets early and make time to speak with everyone in the line. “That’s what makes talking about Tom Cruise complicated for some members of the media. He’s a weirdo, no doubt. But if a weirdo has shown you a kindness, it’s hard to forget.” Bingo. And there’s plenty more acts of generosity Cruise does, like mentoring up-and-comers, or his infamous Christmas coconut cake list. And hey, these thoughtful traits may genuinely be part of his personality. But it’s also a pretty slick tactic for shielding himself from Scientology heat. And like Leah said, I don’t think Cruise is ever leaving COS at this point.

Switching topics, can someone please explain to me the “haircut” Cruise has sported the last several years? It isn’t his worst offense, but still…

Cults david miscavige Lawsuits Leah Remini Scientology Tom Cruise

Leah Remini sues Scientology, she was stalked, held in Florida for four months

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date August 4, 2023

An undeniable fact about 2022 is that Top Gun: Maverick “saved theatrical distribution,” to quote Steven Spielberg. Not only did it do well for a post-pandemic release, it became one of the most successful films ever, and all in-theaters. I have hated this fact since Maverick’s release, because it puts an entire industry in debt to a man who is virtually at the head of a cult. I know Tom Cruise is an excellent producer. I know he is very polished, some say even thoughtful in how he conducts himself for Hollywood business. But I cannot forget that he and David Miscavige are the kings of the Church of Scientology. They are responsible for the organization’s reprehensible behavior and heinous crimes. On Wednesday, former COS member and current NYU student Leah Remini filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and described the harassment, defamation, and psychological torture they inflicted on her:

It started falling apart at TomKat’s 2006 wedding: The event was billed as “the wedding of the century,” so Remini says she was surprised when [David] Miscavige’s wife, Michele (“Shelly”) Miscavige, “was nowhere to be found… When Ms. Remini asked a group of Scientology executives and Tom Cruise’s personal handlers… ‘Where is Shelly?’ she was immediately admonished by the group, despite the fact that she and Ms. Miscavige were good friends,” the lawsuit claims.

She was forced to do an ‘ethics cycle’ post-wedding: “Upon arrival, Ms. Remini was presented with dozens of internal reports from Scientologists complaining about her behavior at the wedding. It was clear to Ms. Remini that she was being punished for asking where Shelly Miscavige was and for filing reports on David Miscavige and others. Ms. Remini was held at FLAG [Flag Land Base headquarters in Florida] for four months while she was put through a process that cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars and nearly led her to have a psychotic breakdown,” the lawsuit alleges.

They made her buy a theater seat for Suri: Remini alleges she had to make peace with David [Miscavige] and Cruise. “For example, she was forced to donate money to name a seat in a theater after Suri Cruise and was to raise money for donation to Scientology causes led by Tom Cruise,” the lawsuit reads. The actress estimates that during her more than 35 years as a Scientologist, she spent around $5 million.

In 2020 COS sent a man to stalk her home: “Defendants armed this man with a vehicle and money to stalk and surveil Ms. Remini. Over the course of several weeks, at Defendants’ behest, this man rammed his car into the security gates of Ms. Remini’s community and asked residents for Ms. Remini’s address, saying he was waiting to get into her house, falsely claiming he had been there several times before, and that he needed to get a bigger ladder in order to reach her bedroom window,” the lawsuit reads. “He was eventually arrested and then released, at which point he called the police to allege that Ms. Remini was holding hostages at her home. After police responded to Ms. Remini’s house, he was again arrested.”

[From Yahoo! Entertainment]

Well, I hope at least the Suri Cruise theater seat doesn’t sting so much anymore. There’s so much listed in the lawsuit, including Anderson Cooper filming but then never airing a segment with Remini because of a “storm of harassment” from COS, and COS sending Conan O’Brien a character assassination letter on Remini when he had her on as a guest. In continuing with their hateful, aggressive tactics, COS eventually released a statement in reaction to the lawsuit. It is positively unhinged! Just a couple excerpts from the full page rebuttal:

“Remini’s complaints are like an anti-Semite complaining about the Jewish Anti-Defamation League for exposing the anti-Semite’s bigotry and propaganda.”

Did you follow that? Oh good, me neither. And this is the closer:

“The Church is not intimidated by Remini’s latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech. If Remini does not believe in free speech, then she should consider emigrating to Russia.”

Like I said, unhinged. I think (hope!) that behind the scenes Xenu is sh*tting their pants. Thank you Leah Remini for speaking out, for filing the suit, and for continuing to raise the question: Where’s Shelly?

Allison Mack Cults Keith Raniere NXIVM Prison

NXIVM co-conspirator Allison Mack is already out of prison after only serving two years

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date July 6, 2023

In July, 2021 Allison Mack was sentenced to three years in federal prison for her leadership position in the NXIVM cult, which included acting as lead recruiter for the cult’s exclusive master-slave sorority, D.O.S. Thanks to brave ex-members speaking on the record, documentaries like HBO’s The Vow and Starz’s Seduced exposed D.O.S. as a group of women who were groomed to be sexually abused by NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. These women were coerced into filming future-blackmail material on themselves which was handed over as collateral, and they were branded. Mack pleaded guilty and cooperated with prosecutors by handing over evidence against Raniere and displaying “remorse” in court, which was why she got off with the shamefully low sentence of three years. On Monday she was released after only serving two of the three years:

The television actor Allison Mack, who pleaded guilty for her role in a sex-trafficking case tied to the cult-like group NXIVM, has been released from a California prison, according to a government website.

Mack, best known for her role as a young Superman’s close friend on “Smallville,” was sentenced to three years behind bars in 2021 after pleading guilty two years earlier to charges that she manipulated women into becoming sex slaves for NXIVM leader Keith Raniere.

Online records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Mack, 40, was released Monday from a federal prison in Dublin, California, near San Francisco. Her release was first reported by the Albany Times-Union.

Mack avoided a longer prison term by cooperating with federal authorities in their case against Raniere, who was ultimately sentenced to 120 years in prison after being convicted on sex-trafficking charges.

Mack helped prosecutors mount evidence showing how Raniere created a secret society that included brainwashed women who were branded with his initials and forced to have sex with him.

In addition to Mack, members of the group included an heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune, Clare Bronfman; and a daughter of TV star Catherine Oxenberg of “Dynasty” fame.

Mack would later repudiate Raniere and express “remorse and guilt” before her sentencing in federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

[From HuffPost]

This is despicable. Yes, Keith Raniere got a hefty sentence to serve 120 years in federal prison (the rest of his life) and to pay $3.46 million in restitution (arguably a low figure). But the NXIVM women who held prominent positions have walked away with paltry sentences–just under seven years for Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman who funded the cult, and 3.5 years for co-founder Nancy Salzman–and now Allison Mack has been released a whole year early. Mack was running D.O.S. right up there with Raniere. Their initials are branded onto women’s bodies–including one who was 15 at the time. All Mack served was two years. I’m angry, are you?

One last note: I find it beyond distasteful that media like HuffPost above, and even The New York Times, are still referring to NXIVM as a “cult-like” group. NXIVM is a cult, full-stop. Labeling it as anything less is a slap in the face to the victims.

Christine Brown Cults Janelle Brown Meri Brown

The Sister Wives are heavily involved in MLMs like LuLaRoe and Younique

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date November 17, 2021

We don’t report much on The Sister Wives news, but it came out recently that Christine Brown, Kody Brown’s third wife, was leaving him. Apparently Kody spent most of his time in lockdown with his newest wife, Robin, and was neglecting his other wives and all their children. I watched the first couple of seasons of that show and gave up when they moved to Las Vegas. I’m surprised it’s still airing, although I guess these people have a lot of drama to go around. Meri, Kody’s first wife, left him earlier this year. That leaves just Janelle and Robin still with Kody. It makes me wonder how bad it is with that guy if these women are giving up reality show money, presumably, by leaving him. He sounds awful judging by some of the things he said to Christine about her body.

In Christine’s announcement that she was leaving Kody, her screen name was “Christine sells LuLaRoe” or something like that, although she’s since changed that. She also seems to be selling other MLM products, judging by Instagram posts she’s made about her weight loss and skincare. Meri is also really into LuLaRoe, even after the documentary came out exposing them. She went to their conference and posted about how great the company and founders are. Here’s some of what she wrote, thanks to US Weekly and it’s the caption to the post above where she’s posing with the scammy founders if you click through to that.

Standing her ground. Meri Brown‘s partnership with LuLaRoe has been called into question by her fans after the company was accused of being a pyramid scheme.

A Breakdown of Where Kody Brown Stands With His Sister Wives

The reality star, 50, showed her support for LuLaRoe on Thursday, November 4, writing via Instagram, “Two weeks ago, I was in Florida for LuLaRoe Leadership training. I had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with these two amazing humans, feeling their spirit and seeing first hand the love and compassion they have for their family of retailers.”

Brown expressed her appreciation for LuLaRoe founders DeAnne Brady and Mark Stidham, who were recently the subjects of Amazon’s documentary LuLaRich.

“@deannelularoe and her husband Mark are literally a couple of the most giving people I know. They want success for me and my business for ME, not for them. The reason they got into this business was to help others,” the Sister Wives star continued. “That was their point back then, that is their purpose now. To know these people, to really know their hearts, is to love them.”

The California native explained that being part of the clothing company’s supportive network gave her a sense of purpose.

“The community they have created, this family of friends and retailers, this community of people lifting each other and wanting the best for others, that’s where it’s at, y’all. We have each other’s backs. We support each other. We watch each other grow and cheer each other on,” she added on Thursday. “This business isn’t just about selling clothes. It’s about service, gratitude, and joy. It’s about compassion and friendship. It’s about you and it’s about me. I’m loud and proud LuLaRoe!”

[From US Magazine]

Is it surprising at all that these fundamentalist Mormons are shilling for MLM companies? They’re all forms of cults. Both of these women were raised in polygamist families and are susceptible to that. MLMs sell this instant family and togetherness lifestyle that Meri is raving about. Plus the founders, DeAnne Brady and Mark Stidham, are also Mormons.

I was watching a video podcast recently about MLMs. They talked about the fact that a lot of women don’t leave, even when they know it’s a scam, because they will lose their investment as well as women they consider their best friends. What’s more is that victims of MLMs have to become perpetrators if they want to make the money back that they sunk into the business. The woman who was being interviewed on that show, Tiffany Ferguson, said that there need to be more legitimate sales jobs people can do from home. These companies offer a quick solution for stay at home moms that ends up benefitting a few people at the expense of everyone else. It takes a real kind of obliviousness not to google these companies before investing in them and/or to disbelieve all the stories about how scammy they are. As we’ve seen lately, an unfortunate percentage of people have the ability to ignore reality.

Interestingly enough I found plenty of MLM content on Janelle, Meri and Christine’s Instagram accounts but Robin doesn’t seem to be on Instagram.

Cults Gwen Shamblin Lara

Gwen Shamblin’s will left nothing to her Remnant Fellowship church

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date November 1, 2021

Mild spoilers for The Way Down

This story is about Gwen Shamblin Lara, the founder of the Remnant Fellowship Church and its Christian diet program, The Weigh Down. I’m familiar with Gwen and her grifter husband, Joe Lara, from the HBO Max miniseries, The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin. I also vaguely remember seeing her on television in the late 90s, when her diet was at the height of popularity. Shamblin had a background as a dietician and she billed her diet as a way to substitute God and worship for mindless eating. The reality of the diet, especially for her close followers, was much darker. Shamblin established a massive cult compound in Brentwood, Tennessee, where she accepted free services from parishioners (which may explain her hair and makeup), dictated almost all aspects of their lives including abusive child rearing, and accumulated incredible wealth, tax free. Shamblin and her husband died in a plane in crash in May, 2021, while the documentary was being filmed. Her daughter, Elizabeth Shamblin Hanna, runs the cult now. That’s all preface to the story from Nashville’s NewsChannel 5, revealing that Shamblin left nothing in her will to the church which made her rich.

Gwen Shamblin Lara, who created a Christian diet plan that became its own religion, died in a plane crash back in May. That crash also killed her husband and five leaders of her Brentwood church, the Remnant Fellowship.

But an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered that Shamblin’s last will and testament — involving an estate potentially worth millions of dollars — is reviving old questions about her ministry — and her money.

“It suggests to me — perhaps I’m cynical — it suggests to me that the accumulation was not for God, it was for Gwen,” said veteran Nashville lawyer Gary Blackburn, who sued Shamblin over allegations that her company fired people who would not join her church.

NewsChannel 5′s investigation first raised questions about Gwen Shamblin 20 years ago, but the rest of the country is getting to know her through a new HBO Max series, “The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin.”

Shamblin left behind a legacy, stemming from her days as founder of the Weigh Down Workshop, of false claims about her own wealth.

“This money, half of it goes to the government, the other half goes to keep it going so that someone else can be helped,” she told then-CNN host Larry King back in 1998.

In a July 2001 interview, NewsChannel 5 Investigates pressed her on that claim.

“Half and half leaves nothing for Gwen Shamblin. That’s not completely true, is it?”

“Yes,” she insisted, “it’s completely true.”

Yet, Blackburn had succeeded in getting Shamblin to admit under oath that the money was going to her and her husband, David.

“I hate to say this to some degree because she’s deceased,” the Nashville lawyer continued, “but she struck me as 100 percent phony, as a grifter, a huckster.”

Yet, it was a story that her daughter, Elizabeth, had continued to perpetuate as recently as four years ago.

“She practically handed mine and Michael’s inheritance away,” Elizabeth Shamblin Hannah told an audience in 2017.

But NewsChannel 5 Investigates obtained Shamblin’s will, a will that leaves everything to her two adult children, Elizabeth and Michael.

[From NewsChannel 5]

NewsChannel 5 has a video excerpt from Shamblin’s video series on greed, which she was working on before her death. She says, in a massive beehive, pearls and garish makeup that money “was never intended to be accumulated, but rather used as one small tool to build up the kingdom of God. If you cling to your money, you’re going to lose it. But if you give it up, you’ll find it again.” She was telling her followers to give her all their money, right? NewsChannel 5 goes into detail about Shamblin’s known assets at the time of her 2018 divorce, which involve 18 different properties including a beach property in Mexico valued at $4.2 million and her Brentwood mansion valued at about $7 million. She also hid her assets by transferring her property into the ownership of trusts. Shamblin had tens of millions and was living the life of luxury while telling people to send her their cash. Isn’t that how these cult leaders always operate? Now her daughter, who inherited half her wealth, is running the same scam.

As for the HBO series, I recommend it and found it fascinating. It gets really sad around the third episode, when they interview young adults who grew up in the cult.

Here’s NewsChannel 5′s report. Damn she was shameless.

LuLaRich is an eye-opening journey into a multi level marketing cult

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date September 17, 2021

For those of you who are not familiar with LuLaRoe, it’s a multi-level marketing company with one size fits all leggings and size-inclusive dresses and shawls in so many colorful patterns. (This is not to be confused with the snooty expensive athletic brand, Lululemon.) I own at least a dozen pieces from them, but I got them from Goodwill and eBay, where they’re cheap because the market is flooded. The leggings and dresses are so comfortable and flattering. However some of the stuff seems poorly made. I’ve had to throw away things that ripped easily, pilled quickly or were made of scratchy material. There’s a definite reason for that. The quality dipped as the company experienced exponential growth. As more consultants signed on, fueled by word of mouth on Facebook, LuLaRoe was unable to keep up with demand. They put out shoddy product and then blamed their independent salespeople for being unable to offload it.

There’s a new four part documentary series on Amazon called LuLaRich, about the company behind the clothing and its insane cult-like culture. Filmmakers were able to score interviews with the company founders, scam artists DeAnne and Mark Stidham. LuLaRoe was only founded in 2012 and yet had $1.3 billion in sales by 2016. The company was poorly run by the Stidham and their family members, with growth favored over quality. The cracks soon started showing, with shoddy products, a lack of accountability and groupthink that punished anyone who questioned the company. Consultants were left in debt and holding thousands in clothing they couldn’t sell. Many sued LulaRoe for not honoring their buyback promise.

LuLaRoe valued loyalty to the company above all else. Salespeople, usually stay at home wives, were encouraged to bring on more consultants underneath them, to go into debt to buy products, and to convince their husbands to quit their jobs to help them. Women who got in early made tens of thousands a month while people under them struggled. When a consultant left they were shunned and other consultants were warned not to talk to them.

The pyramid scheme came crashing down a couple of years ago as the company faced multiple lawsuits. LuLaRoe, like other MLMs, remains in business however. The Stidhams insisted on camera that they were not an MLM company, that consultants who couldn’t move product were to blame for not working hard enough, and that quality control issues were due to social media elevating minor incidents. Their arrogance and lies, contrasted with video footage from their depositions, went a long way toward explaining how they ran the company.

Some of my favorite interviews were with the former employees at the corporate office. A graphic designer said she was pressured to create 100 patterns a day. An accountant was hoping to sit and watch while the feds raided his former employer. A corporate employee-turned-consultant, one of the only people of color at an overwhelmingly white company, said she turned down the company cruise because she didn’t want to be on a boat with a bunch of white people. There was a douchebag nephew who was put in charge of company parties. As LulaRoe grew, he threw enormous corporate events with performances by Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson. After he was fired, he asked former consultants for money to fund his fictional weed business.

I can’t do justice to this documentary in a writeup but I recommend it highly. If you’re strapped for time and know the background, skip to episodes three and four because that’s where it gets good. Here’s a link to a CNN article with more background. I was going to quote it but I had enough to say about this on my own! Also I hope this leads to more documentaries about MLM companies. Essential oil companies Young Living and doTerra are overdue for a take down. Roberta Blevins, who was featured in the documentary (she was the woman in a plaid shirt), pointed out on her social media that MLM jewelry company, Paparazzi, had a huge maskless convention recently that resulted in multiple consultants dying of covid.

Cults NXIVM Prison

NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman sentenced to just 42 months in prison

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date September 10, 2021

In July Allison Mack was sentenced to three years in federal prison for her participation in the NXIVM cult. A few weeks later NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere was ordered to pay $3.46 million in restitution to his victims. He is currently serving 120 years in federal prison. Now another major player in the NXIVM scandal has finally been sentenced. NXIVM co-founder, Nancy Salman, received a 42 months sentence for racketeering and a slew of other charges. Nancy received about half the sentence as Clare Bronfman, a Seagram heiress and NXIVM financial backer, who received 81 months in prison. Below are a few more details on Nancy from Variety:

In a sentencing memo, prosecutors had asked that Salzman be sentenced in the upper range of the recommended 33 to 41 months, and they got their wish: “The conduct underlying the defendant’s conviction warrants a substantial sentence,” wrote assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Hajjar in a pre-sentencing court filing.

Salzman was featured, though not interviewed, in the phenomenon that was the HBO docuseries “The Vow” last year. The second season of the show — directed and executive produced by Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer — is currently in production.

Sarah Edmondson — the NXIVM whistleblower who was one of the stars of “The Vow,” if such a characterization can be made about a documentary — was one of the former members of the cult who testified at the sentencing about Salzman’s abusive behavior. According to The Daily Beast, Edmondson submitted a video statement, saying she’s “not sure you will ever understand how your lies and faulty teachings affected me and others.”

Edmondson added: “I still have dreams about you, where I’m being punished by you for something trivial and I can’t speak up for fear of public shaming.”

Salzman is the fifth NXIVM member to be sentenced. In July, her daughter, Lauren, was sentenced to time served and five years of probation; in September 2020, Clare Bronfman (an heir to the Seagram’s fortune, and Raniere’s financial benefactor) was sentenced to 81 months; in October of last year, Raniere himself was sentenced to 120 years in prison; and last month, former “Smallville” actor and top NXIVM recruiter Allison Mack was sentenced to three years.

[From Variety]

I don’t believe that these sentences are adequate. Black and Latinx people are serving three times those sentences just for possession alone. These folks ruined lives, mentally and physically tortured people and assisted in the rape of women. Not to mention racketeering and financial crimes. Keith particularly didn’t seem remorseful in his deposition. The rest of the players don’t seem to grasp the f*ckery they have unleashed on the world either. Their remorse seemed performative for leniency. Organizations like this and their leader should not be given a pass. I am glad to see that some of Keith’s henchmen are being prosecuted but I wish they had stiffer sentences. Those at the top of NXIVM are stupid rich so I shouldn’t expect them to get long sentences. I’ll need to revisit The Vow, because I vaguely remember Nancy Salzman and I want a complete picture of her. I hope the victims of NXIVM are well compensated for their pain and suffering and I hope Keith will never touch grass again. As for the rest of them, may they live long to suffer.
