❝…Everyone knows they cannot file lawsuits — not just because what is said is true, but because Miscavige cannot afford to go into deposition and be exposed for what he really is…❞ — @MikeRinder via his blog | mikerindersblog.org/panic-stations…
The message (e-mail) in question was written & sent by #DebbieCook to essentially every Scientologists. Cook ended up being sued by Scientology based on agreements she had signed —under duress—when she left her position in the Sea Org.
In the lawsuit & her testimony #DebbieCook stated—
❝…I would have signed that I stabbed babies over and over again and loved it. I would have done anything basically at that point…❞— argued with the fact that all agreements were in fact signed under duress.
#DebbieCook explains why she couldn’t just leave voluntarily…
In her testimony— back in 2012–#DebbieCook sounded as if she was just getting started after giving hours of unfavorable testimony against the Scientology‘s leader— #DavidMiscavige
She stated that she had a lot more to say. Out loud, she expressed the hope that exposing church wrongdoing may lead to "a reformation from within."
Cook and Scientology however reached a settlement — after her very quick & explosive testimony— in San Antonio, Texas, on February 9th 2012. | Article by Tampa Bay Times | tampabay.com/news/scientolo…
This is as relevant as it was 11 years ago. #Scientology is still involved in open lawsuits. Among the following..
With the #DannyMastersonRetrial — #Scientology made a BIG mistake by including a cloud share link in an e-mail sent to the court. The link included files of discovery that the CoS shouldn’t have had access to— not being co-defendants in the case.
Well explained by @LeahRemini thread the other day |
Judge Olmedo stated that after the verdict — an evidentiary hearing will be held to find out how #Scientology — who should have been a co-defendant but wasn’t— obtained the redacted exhibits.
Another case that is still yet to be held — unfortunately only via Scientology arbitration— is #ValerieHaney‘s
#DavidMiscavige is facing a particular lawsuit— among; six counts of forced labor— the court tried to serve DM 27 times— unsuccessfully. The judge finally had to rule him as served.
❝ I was stalking #MikeRinder, #AmyScobee & many others ❞
—3rd PI to come forward, who was hired by infamous PI Dwayne Powell. Most PI’s who value their reputation avoid cooperating with #Scientology's snooping, stalking & harassment—

❝…Powell is a real piece of work—
you may recall he was one of the father & son team arrested stalking Ron Miscavige (#DavidMiscavige’s own father) with illegal weapons in the trunk their car…❞ | Blog-post by @MikeRinder | mikerindersblog.org/more-scientolo…
Lead attorney for #Scientology— #MoniqueYingling
Who focuses her practices on assisting non-profit organizations in keeping their tax exemption. Perfect for the CoS right? She’s also willing to partake in their PR/IRS cover story of

Prosecution & defense have rested. I guess #TonyOrtega hasn’t been called to testify after all. Would have been interesting considering that his pre-trial « interview » with one of the Jane Does; was apparently published WITHOUT her approval & consent. #DannyMastersonRetrial
As @GrowingupinSCN said; this is NOT about drama it’s about his position to talk about what he knows & experienced with #TonyOrtega
I think this is very important to know. It wasn’t an interview apparently it was a phone call in CONFIDENCE that #TonyOrtega had with one of the Jane Does (alleged incident #Dracula2000) and was then published as an interview without her consent.
🪡 🍿#CryBaby the brilliant intentional « kitsch » movie— the pathway #JohnnyDepp chose to truly escape his unwanted « teen idol » persona.
What inspired the director #JohnWaters (Hairspray) to write the screenplay for Cry Baby— was the dark memory of the unsolved murder of one « Carolyn Wells/Wasilewski » in Baltimore—his hometown.
To find a young actor for the role of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker—Waters bought a bunch of teen magazines, all of which showed #JohnnyDepp in 21 Jump Street (1987) on the cover.
🪡 🎥 #EdwardScissorhands played by #JohnnyDepp— Inspired by #TimBurton’s own childhood & drawing — his most personal work—
A masterpiece; blending humor, beauty, innocence & tragedy.
#GaryOldman was offered the role of #EdwardScissorhands — but just couldn’t understand the story & therefore declined. It took him to actually see the movie— a particular scene— that finally made him realize what #TimBurton imagined all along.
FOX offered the role to many other known artists/actors at the time— Including #MichaelJackson, #TomHanks & #TomCruise. But FOX really focused on #TomCruise. However, Cruise, apparently asked questions & made suggestions that even #TimBurton categorized as « weird ».
#JohnnyDepp had always been Patrick Hasburgh's first choice to play Tom Hanson—but Depp initially declined the part. Hanson was then cast with Jeff Yagher. However, FOX disapproved of his performance & halted the show for weeks.
#JoshBrolin was sought after by FOX, but Hasburgh preferred to offer Depp the part once more. Depp agreed to play the part this time, and Yagher's portions were reshot.
