This is a very interesting point and a good reason for this could be that COS don’t want people to come to the conclusion that they are behind it. Like you say they would normally jump on something like this. Strange that they didn’t.]]></description>

I’m a big proponent of victims advocacy and rights but that also applies to those accused falsely. 
The hardest thing to do in life is proving your innocence when you are innocent. Counter intuitive but it’s an absolute truth. Especially in situations where it was “you” and the “alleged victim”.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sorry this is an older story and I’m just now watching the series on Hulu. I applaud Ms Remini and yourself for trying to right a whole lot of wrongs you feel strongly about. 
Now to Paul Haggis.
The ability to accuse someone of a crime is well within our rights as Americans. Its not always easy and takes a lot of moxy to do so. Nobody chooses to be a victim.
It’s also a right that we should be allowed to face our accusers. The first to accuse Haggis, Ms. Breest, has had her story refuted by a number of people but she at least put her name out there. Now I’ve been searching high and low to see what has come of this to no avail. Was this resolved?
Knowledge is power and thank you for being strong enough to show your own misgivings during your time with the Church of Scientology. That’s especially important so others can identify and heal.
Thank you]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just HAVE to comment on this letter Leah and Mike! The second season is airing in the Netherlands right now and I just finished the episode with Paul Haggis. I was very impressed the way he decided to leave Scientology (I can’t call it a church because it isn’t!!) and the way he spoke about it. All credit to him the way he decided he couldn’t live with the lies and misbehaviors any more. So I decided to Google Paul Haggis and I was amazed the first thing I saw (Dutch Google) where these sexual accusations. I expected to find some dirt now he has left this organization but this is really sick to use the ‘me too’ discussion to abuse PH. Let’s make sure I don’t know Paul at all (that’s why I Googled him) but this can’t be taken seriously! And even so you still start to doubt because this is a really serious accusation and ‘what if’. But let’s be honest, Mr. Haggis expected allegations from Scientology of course so don’t you think he would be extra careful in his behavior?? Which makes this very unlikely to have happened in the first place. If Scientology is behind this whole witch hunt how serious can they take themselves? And how ‘convenient’ Mr. Haggis ‘abused’ these anonymous women in 2013 FOUR YEARS after he has left and not during his 35 years of being a Scientologist! Well all credit to you people who stand out to this organization. Don’t forget Scientology is by far not so great (as in number of members) as they claim they are. We are just ‘down-to-earth’ Dutch people and Scientology has hardly any members in Europe at all! Keep up the good work and I will continue to follow it closely. Slowly the truth will come to all people I’m sure, thank you for that!]]></description>

Honestly, The movement of #metoo and #timesup really was/is a good intension, but actually there are all going crazy and using the social media attention, the bad thing is, it can become unimportant, which is really sad. Nothernless, men are being accused and judged without having the chance of being heard, they are doomed the moment someone posts something about them on twitter, Fb whatever account. This is really sad. And the women get angry if they don’t get the right attention and the media just jumps on everything to boost their reaches. I just think we should not judged, just because someone just jumps on the media hype of the #metoo movement...for me this makes it harder for victims like the ones shown and telling their story, like the ones of the show. Sure it’s media attention as well, but a real one, a truth one, a believable one - not like this full of hatred statements, spreading day after day how bad men are and accusing and ridiculing people, when they don’t feel supported. It’s sad as somehow it’s an abuse of the good movement and for me respectless for the ones fighting inner battles and trying to achieve changes. We should be carefull who to believe.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m always curious to know why it is only years after the alleged rape that it is leaked. Why not say so straight after it occurred? Having spoken to adult rape victims myself, none of them would come out years later simply because to relive the rape would cause it to reopen the wound and the return of nightmares.
In scientology if Mr Haggis had raped someone it may not have gone reported, it would depend on how much money he was making for the &quot;church&quot;. 
It seems convenient that the thetans are looking for more ways to discredit a former member when there are allegations of other high profile people in the news and that Mr Haggis has left scientology.
My feeling is that Paul Haggis did not commit these offences, but I don&#039;t know him personally. (Wish I did, I LOVED Due South and Million Dollar Baby!)]]></description>
