And venomous, spiteful, vitriolic gaslighting and manipulation in private. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that an ex exec like Claire would stoop to such levels of cowardice. But what Leah is doing is absolutely heart-shattering. What a disgusting display of brainwashed behavior. I've been defending her silence. Hoping she should would be starting to see Mike for what he is. Encouraging him to be open about his lifetime of atrocities against the innocent. Or at the very least, trying to deescalate the situation. But I couldn't even IMAGINE she would be USING WOMEN to participate in a two-faced smear campaign to destroy Mike Rinder's targets. I am done defending her. No more. It's the Mike Rinder cult of personality. Which still uses the same cowardly tactics that he built his reputation with, from decades at the very top of OSA.

Plot twist - Leah's and Mike's TV show "The Aftermath" was an OSA operation from the beginning to embed their double agents into the center of the anti-scientology community.

But I'm not holding my breath. Aaron is being quite charitable about all this. Especially about the Aftermath Foundation being more than a front group to recruit more Mike Rinder siccophants for his no-accountability cult of personality. Only approving certain people and not others. Dangling charity over their heads like Liz Gale. Shaming people for criticizing Mike Rinder's fraud and cowardice to expose his decades of abuse. They all deserve each other. These grifters who have PLAGUED this community for 15 years. It's real simple... If you worked for the cult. You say exactly what you did for them. Every person you abused. Every law you broke. Every person you burt to rise in the ranks. Every atrocity you witnessed. Every travesty you overlooked You either do that, or you have no business here. No business calling yourself an "activist", or a "whistleblower". THAT'S where Mike's leadership took us with a few headlines about "the hole". That abusers can call themselves victims, and that's enough. That it's enough to say "David Miscavige is a bad man." And you're all magically off the hook for everything you did. We will gladly support ANYONE with enough balls to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Either that or go get therapy until you can. Leah is doing the cult-think logic of "the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics" to not only defend the abusers she likes. But now she's attacking the people who aren't afraid to be open about the frauds in this space. No, Leah... Nothing that Mike has done or will ever do will justify the horror he's inflicted on this world. And your for-profit show doesn't justify what you're doing now to harm honest people. Seriously! 💔🤮 That fake Anonymous account is a new low. Taking a dump on Aaron, D.O.A. and StreetsLA??? That's the FURTHEST thing from Anonymous. Who DESPISED Mike Rinder for his cowardice.

​@@LuigiMordelAlaumethe Aftermath show wasn't an OSA op. It was a Mike Rinder op to rebrand himself as the "heroic whistleblower". It helped to make Scientology less popular than it already was in the mainstream. They made money from it. They silenced Mike Rinder's critics with it. It allowed Mike to cross names off his list of people holding him personally responsible for being fair gamed. Everyone was essentially giving him a pass by thanking him for the platform. And he pressured people like Miriam to say things she wasn't comfortable saying on camera. And was the gatekeeper to only allow people on the show who didn't demand Mike publicly confess his atrocities for OSA. It's the SAME exact way he's using the Aftermath Foundation.

The more I'm thinking about it, Scientology should take a page out of Mike Rinder's book. Instead of spending money on huge empty buildings, they should give money to Rinder's AF Slush Fund - and instead of people having to sign a paper that they'll never talk trash about Rinder and Co., plus any of their lawyer buddies etc., they have to sign a paper that they'll never talk trash about SCIENTOLOGY, period. Rinder could take on his Holy Mantle on High once again, and he can be the gatekeeper of the funds. For a small stipend, you have to sign away your rights, your free speech, your dignity, and you can never tell tales about what happened to you in Scientology. Also, if you do, they are allowed to release all the recordings they made of you when you were forced to confess and make up stories of all the evils you were up to. Mike and Leah can be the King and Queen of doling out the funds. Maybe they can start up their Scientology Jerry Springer Carnival sideshow again, and the recipients can come on the show and denigrate themselves before the world, with no rights to or approval of the content. All of this tax-free.

She deserves so much better by everyone mentioned, including Aaron. I also think I understand why Aaron made this video to make sure we all know who those players really are. Although Aaron didn't offer us important 'receipts' but only those from the strange ex-girlfriend with clown lips. I'd feel better if he showed everyone alllllll of his receipts. There were some serious accusations being thrown around. But, I'm sure if anyone Aaron talked about would say he's lying, he could produce them at that point. I really just hope this all goes away soon and Aaron gets back to 'business as usual'. That's what's most important, sans all the names he mentioned. I feel disgusted by the Leah revelations. I was quite invested in her being on the "Good Side" of all drama, not the B.S. dark side.. Poor Jenna, she's not involved in any of this mess, outside of having feelings towards Aaron, that we know of. I would say she is also collateral damage, sadly. 🥺

scientology habits are *HARD* to break. I'm still wrestling with stopping remembering "study tech", as sad as I am that it seems Hubbard HAD to do all that stuff to understand anything. It ruined my ability to read for enjoyment. And even though I try not to, I find myself right-clicking on "look [word] up" in dictionaries or the 'net. I'll even wake up from deep sleep "having" to find just the right word I should have used in that dream's dialog.'Course, part of THAT was my mom playing a game with me called:"How could we say that better?" She even taught me how to find words in the dictionary I didn't know how to spell, which was at first odd-seeming.

Stay strong warrior, these people are disgustingly dishonest.

As someone who has heard things for years about Scientology and seen former members, you are one of the best examples of a former member. At the same time, a celebrity who leaves gets press; you're someone who really put the work in. I don't understand why your private life is relevant. Rinder is infamous; he did heinous things for the church and David Miscavige. Why are these people acting like David Miscavige's lap dogs if they left the church? These tactics are just ones they did for the church. How can anyone wanting to leave the church to trust the community with these tactics happening? As an outsider looking in, wouldn't someone leaving be thinking that the Aftermath Foundation is secretly with the church? As an outsider looking in, that's what it looks like. Perception is bad optics, not looking good.

I’ve often wondered where Leah stood. Optimistically i thought she’d try to stay in the middle and calm things down this is EXTREMELY disheartening. I stand with the truth and Aaron happens to be on that side along with many others
