Tara Savelo was born into Scientology and remained active in it into her 20s. She grew up in Clearwater, Fla., one of the church’s main outposts, and later moved to Los Angeles, where she became Lady Gaga’s makeup artist.
She drifted away from the church as she built her own life. But over the last few weeks, as she has read about the Danny Masterson rape trial, many of the church’s teachings and practices have come back to the surface. ...
The defense, paid for by the "church" or at least using the church's lawyer was a part of the trial because they attempted to silence the victims and enforce their billion year contracts that include their own arbitration. I hope the next step after legal trial that the victims go after the church in civil suits.
