Allegedly Scientology (Part 2)

Season 2, Ep. 35

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the glossy façade of Scientology? Want to know why Clearwater, Florida became its Mecca? Buckle up, because this journey takes you deep into the labyrinthine world of Scientology, from its hierarchical structure to the riveting stories of the people who've lived it. We'll uncover the shocking realities and the controversies surrounding this faith that has often been mired in scandal. We decode the religion's different levels - from OT zero to OT eight, and the role of Scientology's leaders - from L. Ron Hubbard to his successors, Pat and Annie Broker.

Prepare for some hair-raising revelations as we unmask the controversies surrounding Scientology, from its covert deal with the IRS and the alleged abuse within the infamously known 'Hole', to the FBI's high-profile investigation into its leader, David Miscavige. We share the story of former Scientologist Mike Rinder, who made serious allegations of abuse, and the lawsuit filed by actor Danny Masterson against Miscavige. We also delve into the disturbing allegations of human trafficking and slavery.

Ever wondered about Tom Cruise's role in Scientology? We probe into the superstar's association with the organization, the entourage that surrounds him, and unpack the infamous Matt Lauer interview. But it's not all about Cruise. Former Scientologist Leah Remini shares her journey within the religion, touching upon its cult-like aspects and her grueling interrogations. We discuss the intriguing contents of the briefcase she received when she reached OT3 and ponder on the believability and impact of Scientology. This is an episode that dares to ask the tough questions and unflinchingly reveals the answers. Don't miss it!
