News about David Miscavige

After closing down a complete block to open its new 'ideal branch' in Chicago, the Church of Scientology has suffered the wrath of locals and university students. On Sunday, the Church of Scientology of Chicago held its grand opening service in South Loop, blocking access to a whole block of South Clark Street. 'While the Windy City ribbon comes cascading down, this is also the time to find what you don't know,' controversial mayor David Miscavige told the crowd outside the brick building of 650 South Clark Street today.'

David Miscavige, the Church of Scientology's founder, has a penchant for designer clothes, a desire for jewelry, fast cars, and superbikes, as well as a love for thumping music. And, according to one of his closest lieutenants, he'exiled' his wife Shelly for no reason because he was 'done with her.' This is a snapshot of the man created by Mitch Brisker, 74, former Senior Director and Creative Executive of Scientology's Golden Era Studios. Brisker was both the Chief Architect of Scientology's Propaganda and a respected right-hand man to its leader, Miscavige, 63, for thirty years, despite clashing with Miscavige and losing hope in what the church stood for. Now, he's speaking out for the first time in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, providing his unique insight into Miscavige, his'missing' wife, his celebrity, his close friendship with Tom Cruise, and the luxurious lifestyle of the man, who, he says, behaves himself like a'superstar.'

Remini, 53, is asking the court to prohibit the alternative church group from'stalking, threatening, or otherwise unlawfully intervening' in her professional and personal life. Scientologists have ramped up their hate against her, according to the actress, who filed a lawsuit against their CEO David Miscavige on August 2. 'Ms. Remini and others have been subjected to continued, vehement bullying' since Ms. Remini's Complaint was lodged,' says Ms. Remini's injunction request.'

ALISON BOSHOFF: Tom Cruise is Scientology's most famous member, but could he be losing his fervour? David Miscavige, the actor's close friend who was best man at his wedding to Katie Holmes in 2006, hasn't flown his helicopter to Scientology's UK headquarters in East Grinstead for about three years, according to reports. Cruise, 61, has been based in the United Kingdom since launching Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, and has taken the chopper around the country, including to Birmingham and the Cotswolds. In Los Angeles, the Scientology Building on the right is visible.

Leah Remini, an actress, may call Tom Cruise as a witness in a new lawsuit brought against the Church of Scientology. Remini, 53, argued in a lawsuit brought by the Church this month that she was psychologically deprived after enquiring about the church's missing wife at Tom Cruise's wedding to Katie Holmes in 2006. Michele 'Shelly' Miscavige, the wife of rebel David Miscavige, has been missing for 16 years. Remini has been vocal about her abduction and reported it to the LAPD when she left the church in 2013.

Leah Remini has had a long and tumultuous relationship with Scientology, both as a member and after leaving the church. Shelly, the missing wife of manager David Miscaviage (circled in the picture above) during Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in 2006, she's accused scientology managers of making her life miserable.

Remini, 53, argues that she was assaulted after speaking out against Tom Cruise's marriage to Katie Holmes. The actress inquired about Miscavige's missing wife, who hasn't been seen for 17 years after she failed to attend the nuptials in 2006. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Miscavige, a former Scientologist, but no one has been able to obtain any information. Remini's case argues that the 'campaign to destroy' her ramped up since she left the church in 2013. According to legal documents, she is accusing the Church of Scientology of "civil abuse, stalking, defamation, deliberate infliction of emotional distress, and deliberate interference with potential economic advantage.' She has filed eight counts against them in her case, and she is suing for punitive and compensatory damages at trial. The complaint also claims for "damages for employee collaboration and missed market opportunities" as a result of an undisclosed figure.

According to a newly unsealed lawsuit, a woman who was born into the Church of Scientology and drafted into its inner circle at 14 was assaulted by a notorious recruiter at 16 and coerced to marry him when she spoke out. The anonymous woman claims she was groomed and sexually assaulted by high-ranking recruiter Gavin Potter during a string of auto rides when enrolled in a 'billion-year contract' with the Sea Organization, a 'clergy' that oversees the church's operations. The allegations have surfaced in a lawsuit brought against Potter and the cathedral in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in December, but not before this week.

Nicole Kidman is no stranger to winning big, with two Primetime Emmy Awards, and six Golden Globe Awards, but it's safe to say that her children are her most coveted possessions. In 2018, when Kidman received the Golden Globe Award for best actress in a limited series or TV film for her role in "Big Little Lies," she gave a moving speech about women in the aftermath of the Time's Up movement to ban sexual harassment and gender discrimination. On Sunday and Faith, she gave her two daughters a sweet shout-out as they watch her since she won the night's first award. "It means my daughters are still awake," she said at the time, so Sunny and Faith, I love you." "I'm bringing this home to you, babies!" Kidman didn't pay tribute to her two older children, Connor, 28, and Isabella, 30, whom she adopted with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise (whom she was married to from 1990 to 2001). Over the years, Kidman has said little about Connor and Isabella, and although she hasn't given a specific reason, it may have something to do with Scientology.

The Church of Scientology obtained a swath of criminal discovery evidence relating to Danny Masterson's rape conviction (left), including emails between police and 'victims,' according to the church. Between 2001 and 2003, Masterson, the former star of That '70s Show and a scientologist himself, has been charged with raping three women. Despite being a defendant in the lawsuit, the District Attorney's office informed the court that an 'highly troubling' tranche of criminal investigation evidence has ended up in the custody of The Church of Scientology, whose leader, David Miscavige (right) despite the fact that it is not a party.

A federal trafficking lawsuit brought by former churchgoers has found that the Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige has officially been served in a federal trafficking lawsuit brought by a U.S. judge. Judge Julie S. Sneed found that Miscavige was "actually concealing his position or evading service" and that attorneys had attempted to locate him. Sneed said that opposing lawyers had gone to the appropriate extent to protect Miscavige, including appearing at Scientology clinics and asking for the man's address 27 times. Miscavige has been described as "nowhere to be found" by guards and Scientology experts. Valeska Paris and her partner and wife, Gawain and Laura Baxter, who claim they were kidnapped into Scientology as children and coerced to serve as adults for little to no compensation, is facing a trafficking lawsuit in 2022.

David Miscavige, 62, has decided against being served by a complaint brought by former Sea Org members Valeska Paris, Gawain Baxter, and Laura Baxter. According to them, they were coerced to sign a billion-year deal in exchange for little or no money to work at Sea Org, and at least one was assaulted. Lawyers have been trying to sue him for at least four months, but there has been no one to help him. Ten copies of the summons were sent to various Scientology facilities in Florida and California, but they were all returned unlived. He is said to live in a gated community, Hacienda Garden, which is owned by Scientology. Shelly, his wife, has been missing since 2007, and is believed to be living at Scientology's Church of the Spiritual Technology (CST) in Twin Peaks, California.

During the decade between the 2011 and the 2021 censuses, alternative faiths such as Satanism, Paganism, and Shamanism have seen an increase in followers. Millions have abandoned Christianity, most for no reason, but the number of Satanists in England and Wales has increased from 1,893 in 2011 to 5,054 followers in 2021. According to the most recent count, the South East's largest number of Satanists has increased by 25% to 795.

After referring to a controversy close to her heart, Jerrod Carmichael, the Golden Globes host, gave a big thumbs up on Tuesday. During the award, the 35-year-old comedian made a parody of Top Gun: Maverick, who had previously returned to the Globes to protest the Globes' lack of Black voters, as well as Scientology leader David Miscavige and his wife Shelly Miscavige. Shelly has been reported missing and has not been seen in public since August 2007, but police have been assured that she is not missing.

In alienating Tom Cruise from the awards ceremony on Tuesday, Golden Globes host Jerrod Carmichael struck no punches in alienating him from the proceedings. Carmichael, 35, appeared clutching three Golden Globe awards prior to presenting two of Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick co-stars. Cruise won his three prizes in 2021 in protest against the absence of black Golden Globe voters. 'I discovered these three Golden Globe awards from Tom Cruise's return,' he said.' 'I'm just the host, but I have a pitch,' the comedian, who started the show by ridiculing the Hollywood Foreign Press's racial stereotypes, added: "I'm just the host... but I have a pitch.' I think we should take these three items and trade them for Shelly Miscavige's safe return to her homeland.' The cruise did not attend the service. Shelly, the wife of Scientology's Chief David Miscavige, hasn't been seen outside of August 2007. It's not clear if Carmichael was insinuating that Cruise might have some information about Shell's whereabouts. For 30 years, the actor has been a Scientologist.

The elusive head of Scientology, according to investigators who are attempting to represent David Miscavige in a federal child trafficking lawsuit, is "nowhere to be found." According to the Tampa Bay Times, authorities have attempted to deliver papers to Miscavige, 62, on 27 occasions over the course of four months in the Clearwater-area in Florida and Los Angeles. The guards were clueless when lawyers appeared at Scientology companies and asked security guards about Miscavige's whereabouts, according to the guards. In an attempt to track him down, the attorneys in the lawsuit have even employed a private investigator. Lawyers also went direct and sent an Instagram message to the church's official page to inquire about Miscavige at one point. Former church members, husband and wife, Gawain, Laura Baxter, and Valeska Paris have filed a lawsuit. After signing a one-year deal in exchange for little or no money, the three children were coerced into labor on Scientology boats as teenagers. In 2009, Paris was decommissioned, and Gawain and Laura Baxter were deposed in 2012.

According to the book 'A Billion Years: My Experience from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology, the church of Scientology leaders desperately tried to keep the couple apart as they feared Nicole Kidman would pull Tom Cruise away from the tense religious movement.' They did so because Cruise, a long-serving church officer, began to ignore Scientology head David Miscavige's calls when the actor and Kidman were filming the film 'Eyes Wide Shut' in London in 1997, according to former high-ranking church officer Mike Rinder. Miscavige was suspicious of the actor's second wife because she had not expressed a deep desire for Scientology and that he was possibly afraid of losing control of Cruise, to the point that he allegedly ordered Kidman's phone to be intercepted.
