The full story is here. Eddie is a long time scientologist who went Clear in the 90's and the last recorded service is OT Preps in 2015. You can see some of his history detailed in the most recent article on him by Tony Ortega at The Underground Bunker. This sad story begs some obvious questions: Why did the tech fail so miserably in helping Eddie -- someone who is more of a celebrity than a lot of the "celebrities" who are afforded special care and attention at the "Celebrity Centre." Is CCHR doing everything they can to get him out of the hands of the psychs, just like they did with … [Read more...]

Episode 62: The Aftermath OG Amy Scobee
This week we welcome our dear friend Amy Scobee to talk about scientology and celebrities. Amy was in charge of scientology Celebrity Centres for many years. She has a lot of personal experience about how scientology treats its biggest celebrities. She was also the catalyst for The Aftermath when she reached out with the story of her mother, Bonnie. They were featured in the first episode. There's a lot of ground to cover... Note: Some have asked what OG means -- OG is a slang term for someone who's incredibly exceptional, authentic, or “old-school,” someone or something that … [Read more...]
Celebrity Center: Nothing Can Be Done About It
Anyone who has visited Los Angeles in the last decade knows there is a homeless problem. Apparently since COVID it has gotten even worse. A lot of homeless people have come from colder states where winter can be a literal death sentence for a homeless person. It might get chilly in Southern California, but never deathly cold. A lot of homeless people have moved to the LA area, and you see them everywhere. Below is a fairly typical sight on a freeway overpass. This one happens to be on North Bronson Ave. Here is a shot a few yards further north on Bronson. You can now see on the … [Read more...]
Danny Masterson — DJ Donkey Punch
The news from Los Angeles that the Danny Masterson Preliminary Hearing resulted in the judge ordering him to stand trial for rape was more than welcome. It was a relief to know the victims have finally been heard and taken seriously. It was also long overdue. Tony Ortega did a magnificent job of reporting over 4 days of the hearing. It was amazing the level of detail he was able to take down and relay to all those unable to attend in person. My message to the 3 women who took the stand: Brava. Brava. Brava. And Brave, brave, brave. It takes guts to testify before a court under any … [Read more...]

What you may not know is that he was around for, and played an integral role of the formation of Celebrity Centre. He was a member of the rock band People!. We talk to Geoff about the destruction of his successful band -- scientology "ethics" caused them to throw out the lead singer for … [Read more...]
“Come On” Gibberish
Word is going out to try to get people to come back into orgs to watch the screening of a new "event." Apparently, "It's Time" and the subject is a "Brief Breath in Eternity" (which is a rather unfortunate subject for a briefing that is apparently about the amazing work scientology has done dealing with the "planetary bullbait" of COVID - 19) or how everyone is "stepping 3 feet back" (like 1 step forward and 3 back?) They are getting the hype out right away in typical scientology style -- "as soon as we have a date we will let you know." Hope the brief breath hasn't expired by the time … [Read more...]
