Scientology and its twisted tentacles are threaded through much of Hollywood's upper echelons, and it maintains its control over many well-known celebrities through a mix of totalitarianism and fundamentalism. Tony Ortega is an expert on the subject of Scientology. He was the Editor-in-Chief of Village Voice in New York, and he has written articles about Scientology for large publications like Rolling Stone. Tony breaks down the gritty realities behind the behavior exhibited by big celebrities like Tom Cruise, who seems to have chosen Scientology over his daughter, Suri. Why would someone do that? Tony explains in detail. He also talks about Leah Remini’s escape from Scientology and her struggle to end the church’s harassment via a major lawsuit.
