Insane? How are my words those of insanity? Your expression is worthless in meaning. I guess because you never received a real college degree, Ms. Valley Girl.

So right, Hannah! You got a good dose of practicing some healthy jealousy. What a pitiful experience you put your child through.

You’re taking on the defensive posture as your leader Shana referred herself experiencing. It sounds contrary to what SSM teaches, to be open and vulnerable and feminine. You certainly are not coming from a feminine declaration, poor DoeEyed&Victorious. Doe, doe, doe, keep on fighting your fight.

As a professional editor (and amateur sociologist), what disturbs me most about this whole scenario is how ANYONE could read even two sentences of this man’s rhetoric and marketing materials and not instantly recognize his sophomoric narcissism and megalomania. Have average Americans become so delusionally…

“If women want to leave SSM then they can and they do and it’s supported. Unless a woman leaves all crazy-style and dramatically then it’s kinda like buh-bye good riddance, if you ask me! Some women leave that way and I feel like they’d have to be investing in some crazy crap in order to cut something off that has be…

As a cult specialist that has been qualified and accepted as a court expert witness in 10 states including United States Federal Court concerning controversial groups and movements, IMO Superstar Machine and International Scherick seem to fit well within the parameters of what can be seen as a destructive cult. There…

You sound like a pathetic old woman! Who are you kidding? Happy marriage? You make me cringe!

You poor thing.

Reading the walls of texts submitted by the current Superstar Machine members has given me the distinct impression that paragraphs do not sufficiently “serve the masculine”.

hhahahahah brainwashed. read a book princess dumbstar

I feel like I’ve heard of this before. Cult or not, who the hell pays a self-proclaimed “Jesus” figure $600+ a month to tell them how to live?

Are you both a princess and a superstar, or is that just marketing talk?

This read was as fascinating as it was mystifying. I like that there were a few women who clearly got it and felt uncomfortable, AND left before becoming overly embroiled. Now that is brave.

The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when reading this kind of stuff. Dealt with crazy cult-people in person, so there’s this part of me that’s screaming “RUN!” at multiple points throughout the story.

She would probably just remove herself from the situation and not call back or answer. I could feel the tension even as I was reading, they had to walk on eggshells to make it even that far with this organization.

In our second phone call, Kuhn-Siegel responded: “Are members free to text? That question is not that interesting to me. I feel like it puts me in a defensive posture, and I don’t feel like I have anything to defend really.”

So much funny in four paragraphs. “whose palette contains thousands of years of mystic tradition...” Written like a true mystic. A 13-year-old mystic with a spiral notebook and a sparkle gel pen.
