Seriously. So much money and no sense.

Not to mention the lawyers in their midst attacked the IRS with lawsuits over the tax exempt fight, and the IRS actually backed off.

Excellent point.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend’s mind. Rip.

Interesting. It always perplexed me that Scientology would allow them to be so quiet about it if they were really members. They pretty much trot out every celeb member they can and the Smiths would be a huge get for them.

Yeah someone else just mentioned that too, I had completely forgotten! Explains a lot about their kids, though.

Yeah I think so. Like the second they moved to LA. They were really working hard trying to recruit a power couple there for a while.

Ohhhhh that's right I remember reading about that. So weird that the church would allow them to be so quiet about their association, but maybe they’re stealthy recruiters.

I feel that way about Juliett Lewis. I've never heard her speak about Scientology though so I remain hopeful she's not too involved with them. Although I'm doubtful Scientology allows casual members.

Weren't they trying to recruit Will and Jada around that time as well?

Nicole and Tom’s kids were years older at the time of that split than Siri was and they had already been in the church for several years. Pretty sure they were in the work camp brainwashing sea org around that time too? In any case, it was allegedly their choice to stop seeing or speaking to Nicole which might be why…

I remember all the stories that came from Tom’s people right after Katie left about how “hurt” he was. Bullshit. He was furious. She used Scientology’s own rules against him by getting out before Siri was officially indoctrinated so that they’d both be labeled suppressive and he’d have no choice but to stay away. She…

I remember back when all this happened there was some speculation that Katie may have timed her escape, in part, because Siri was about to be old enough to be officially indoctrined into the church and possibly audited.

I love your username.

To me it just comes across like the thought process of a teenager and she’s nearly thirty. And yeah, no one cared! It’s such a GIRL, NO moment and nobody stopped her which also makes me sad :(

I’m sorry but what planet are you living on that women sexually harass men or other women on the street? I think you’re making overall decent points here but I’m getting the sense that you might not be a woman because of that part of your comment. This happens to women allllllll the time. This is not something that…

That book is RIVETING.

I know I’m snarking on her but I legit get the sads for la Lohan sometimes. She wasn’t like, an unstoppable force of talent or anything but she’s really fallen HARD.

Oh, Lindsay.

It’s possible it’s a blood vessel, or a pimple. Both of which can happen naturally but also happens a lot when someone favors one side with their coke straw or filthy filthy rolled up bill.
