Aftermath: Leah Remini v. scientology

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Aftermath: Leah Remini v. scientology

Post by Malcolm »

Premiered on A&E tonight. If nothing else, L. Ron Hubbard's peeps hate it. DVR it just because. Please. Make the ratings soar. Set live TV timers to display it live. Light dat shyte up.

Addendum: Really. I hate them factorially more than Drumpf. L Ron Hubbard has fucked more people than Bill Cosby and Jerry Sandusky could ever dream of.

Church rattles sabre.
A&E has applied its policies and practices in an invidious and discriminatory manner. We can think of no justification for A&E's hypocrisy. It is hypocritical for A&E to proclaim its intent to 'expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms' in cancelling the KKK show and at the same time promote Leah Remini's program which promotes the hatred that A&E claims that it wants to stop.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ben watching this. No new revelations, but you get to see more of the emotional impact on people that have had family still in the cult disconnect. A couple of scenes were really emotionally brutal. The guy doing the series with her has a daughter that has disconnected from him and there was one scene in particular that was pretty gut wrenching.

I seems like David Miscavige's father was feeling like something wasn't right. As soon as he got access to the unfiltered Internet he pretty quickly decided they were full of shit (I think it just confirmed what his gut had been telling him for a while) and bolted.

Good series.

She's dared them to sue her so they can discuss everything in court. Something tells me they'll decline.
