Scientology tried to recruit Brad Pitt, he wasnt having it & broke up with Juliette Lewis
Jezebel recently pointed us to this newsletter in Business Insider on former famous person Scientologists. It spoke back a query for me about Brad Pitt’s involvement with the cult. We know he dated Juliette Lewis around the time that they co-starred within the TV movie Too Young to Die in 1990 and the movie Kalifornia in 1993. Lewis has been involved in the cult since a minimum of 1988. So did Lewis attempt to get her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, indoctrinated into Scientology? Former Scientology Amy Scobee claims in a up to date e book that Lewis did, and stated that it brought about Pitt and Lewis to spoil up. Scientology bigwigs were after all drooling over Pitt, however he was smart sufficient to get the hell out of there while he may just.
In former high-ranking church legit Amy Scobee’s book, “Scientology — Abuse at the Top,” she claims Brad Pitt completed two Scientology lessons in July 1991 and May 1993.
“In the end, Brad didn’t suppose it was once for him and he and Juliette broke up,” stated Scobee. “He used to be high on the church president’s checklist of stars they felt may well be ‘recovered.”

The website “Truth about Scientology,” which compiles data from Scientology’s authentic magazines, has Pitt indexed as completing two courses in Scientology in the years Scobee mentioned. Given the time frame, he was once more than likely high as a kite on the time. Good for him for buying out whilst he could.
I found this text I wrote in 2006 and totally forgot about. It’s about Tom Cruise making a weak ass attempt to recruit Angelina Jolie into Scientology by means of asking her to come via their headquarters and select up an “award.” Cult skilled Rick Ross also mentioned that Brad Pitt dumped Juliette Lewis over Scientology, so I suppose this news has been in the market for a while.
I after all watched the BBC Panorama documentary on Scientology from 2007 that so many of you've got been mentioning within the threads. (It’s available in four parts on YouTube.) I take note hearing that Juliette Lewis was interviewed in it, but when I watched it the phase with the well-known Scientologists, including Kirstie Alley, Ann Archer, Leah Remini and Juliette Lewis, had no actual statements from the actresses due to felony threats from Scientology. All we noticed have been the facial reactions from the women. (That’s at about 4:00 into this video.)
Part of Juliette’s interview did make it on-line ultimately. BBC later released deleted scenes from the Panorama collection, during which journalist John Sweeney requested about Scientology being a cult. (Juliette’s segment is at at 4:30 in the video linked here.) She handled it manner higher than the others. Juliette laughed about whether Scientology was once a cult and stated “Some other folks additionally say that girls are in point of fact silly and shouldn’t vote.” Both Leah Remini and Kirstie Alley pulled the bigotry card, with Alley and Anne Archer getting particularly worked up.
As for the Panorama documentary, I’ve heard about it for some time and dispose of gazing it till now. It’s a profitable disclose, but there was such a lot yelling, stalking, intimidation and creepiness that it used to be laborious to watch.
Here are some highlights I found:
Scientology spokesperson Tommy Davis goes off at 6:00.
Sean Lonsdale, a videographer attempting to expose Scientology, is proven at first of this video. He will get confronted by means of Tommy Davis with main points of his legal historical past (which was additionally posted on fliers around the town in an attempt to intimidate him). Lonsdale ended up “committing suicide” under suspicious instances in 2008.
Tommy Davis goes off once more at :30
Scientologist blame psychiatry for the Holocaust at 3:40. After that Sweeney is going off on Tommy Davis.
There’s some chatter that Tommy Davis has not been seen in public in some time. I may not ascertain that, but he’s been changed as cult spokesperson by means of a lady named Karin Pouw.
Here’s Juliette and her new boyfriend, Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, at an match on 5-27-12. Credit: WENN.com
