"The church taught his victims, ‘Rape isn’t rape, you caused this, and above all, you are never allowed to go to law enforcement,’" Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson told the jury during the trial."In Scientology, the defendant is a celebrity, and he is untouchable."Bijou Phillips wept as Danny Masterson was led away from court in handcuffs after the verdict was read.
"The District Attorney unconscionably centered his prosecution on the defendant's religion and fabrications about the Church to introduce prejudice and inflame bigotry," the statement continued."The DA elicited testimony and descriptions of Scientology beliefs and practices which were uniformly FALSE."
Cruise married his second wife, Nicole Kidman, in 1990 just months after meeting on set of"Days of Thunder." She reportedly took Scientology classes while they were together, but has never spoken about her relationship with the church or Cruise. Six years later, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise, and also sought sole custody of their little girl.
Remini, who left the church in 2013, has since hosted a documentary series about Scientology, which earned her two Emmy Awards for outstanding nonfiction series or special.
