Do you know how Scientology is using arbitration clauses to escape accountability? Join us as Claire Headley and special guest Tony Ortega reveal the hidden mechanisms behind Scientology's arbitration practices. From derailing legal challenges to the manipulative use of arbitration clauses, we uncover the church's evolving legal strategies and the powerful attorneys driving these changes. Highlighting crucial cases like the Garcia family, we illustrate how Scientology has crafted an arbitration process that is nearly impossible for former members to navigate successfully.Listen to personal stories that lay bare the systemic biases within Scientology's arbitration system. Meet individuals like Valerie Haney and the Garcia family whose experiences expose the psychological and emotional toll of facing a skewed and oppressive process. Their stories, marked by encounters with their abusers and manipulative tactics, underscore a system rigged against anyone labeled as a "suppressive person." We draw comparisons to other flawed arbitration systems, emphasizing the absurdity and injustice perpetuated by Scientology-controlled panels.Explore the relentless legal tactics employed by Scientology to sidestep justice. From extensive procedural delays in Laura DiCrescenzo's case to David Miscavige's evasive maneuvers, this episode highlights the lengths Scientology will go to avoid accountability. Personal anecdotes and detailed analyses shed light on systemic issues that favor organizations exploiting legal loopholes. Through these discussions, we stress the urgent need for greater scrutiny and potential government intervention to protect individuals from such abuses.

Danny Masterson is an American actor best known for his role in That 70's Show. In 2020, he was charged with raping three women in 2001 and 2003. Masterson and his victims were all members of the Church of Scientology. The church's policies and threats toward the victims caused a 20-year delay in bringing the crimes to justice.

Si on vous dit Tom Cruise, vous pensez forcément à l'une de ces trois choses : Top Gun, Mission Impossible, ou Scientologie. Tom Cruise, c'est l'histoire d'un acteur star dans les années 1980, un visage de jeune premier sur lequel les studios américains parient gros à une époque où Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio ou Ben Affleck sont trop jeunes, encore inconnus. Alors Tom Cruise, il a Hollywood à ses pieds, les filles d'Hollywood à ses pieds, et tout pour réussir. Et il a réussi, comme on le sait tous. Au fil des décennies, il est devenu un acteur à blockbusters, incontournable, et un sex-symbol qui a partagé sa vie avec des stars féminines aussi célèbres que Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz et Katie Holmes. Mais il est aussi tombé, très jeune, dans les filets d'une organisation qui a toujours cherché des gens comme lui pour rayonner : la Scientologie. Comment une star comme lui, sans doute très entourée et donc très protégée, a pu tomber dans ce panneau ? Et comment expliquer que, même scientologue, faisant partie de ce qu'on considère comme une secte en France, il puisse encore être une superstar à laquelle beaucoup s'identifient ? Est-ce qu'il aurait pu en être autrement pour lui, s'il n'avait pas croisé le chemin de sa première petite amie officielle – et scientologue – Mimi Rogers ? Dans cet épisode de Scandales, la journaliste Marion Galy-Ramounot retrace le parcours dense et sinueux de Tom Cruise. À son micro se succèdent :  - Tony Ortega, LE journaliste américain spécialiste de la Scientologie. Il a créé un blog qui s'appelle The Underground Bunker, à travers lequel il enquête sur l'organisation. - Anne Fabisch, psychothérapeute spécialisée dans la prise en charge des victimes de sectes - Sean Redmond, professeur de cinéma et auteur de l'ouvrage Starring Tom Cruise Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia. Claire Bellahsen a participé à l'écriture et à la production de cet épisode, aidée par Adèle Jacquet. Thomas Rozes en a fait la réalisation et le mix sur une musique composée par Jean Thévenin. Océane Ciuni est la responsable éditoriale de Scandales, un podcast produit par Louie Créative, l'agence de contenus audios de Louie Média.

Our gossip this week includes the embarrassing way some actors have responded to Oscar's backlash and why the most disturbing thing about Julia Fox's apartment tour wasn't the size. We discuss the article, "Everyone Is Beautiful But No One Is Horny" about why modern action and superhero movies "fetishize the body, even as they desexualize it" and a newly published interview with Lisa Marie Presley about Scientology and how they brainwashed her to believe she was directly responsible for the death of her father and Michael Jackson due to her ‘suppressive' personality.

in 1952, Hubbard explained how he was going to construct Scientology. As he said, Scientology is a game, but you may have wondered what the rules of the game are. Here Hubbard explains that he is the "game-maker" and that, at best, we are no more than players (more usually simply pieces).

In February 2017, three women filed SA allegations against Masterson. This prompted the Los Angeles County Police Department (LAPD) to investigate. Within a year, Masterson was fired from his role in The Ranch and let go as a client from United Talent Agency. On August 22, 2019, four plaintiffs filed a civil lawsuit against Masterson and Scientology alleging various claims of stalking and harassment in retaliation for making the SA allegations. At the time of this live stream, that case is in front of the Supreme Court of the United States to determine whether the case can go to arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution. On June 17, 2020, Masterson was charged with three counts of r**e by force or fear. At the time of this live stream his case is set to go to trial on October 11, 2022. HARVEY WEINSTEIN: Harvey Weinstein was one of the first to be accused of SA during the MeToo movement. He is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence following a conviction in New York for SA. In a separate trial in Los Angeles, he has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of r*pe and SA involving CA Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel, and four other women. -------------------- To Become a Member of Byte Club, you can pick between YT, Locals, or Patreon: YT Members: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvDEmKLft6F2MxhuNUMwag/join Locals: https://legalbytes.locals.com Patreon: https://patreon.com/legalbytes --------------------

In this live stream, we're talking about the latest information to come out about the Harvey Weinstein trial and Danny Masterson trial. For more details from Tony Ortega on this case: Substack: https://tonyortega.substack.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOTK4ae6wrPbRbYynM95mjA/featured CONTEXT DANNY MASTERSON: Danny Masterson is an American actor and prominent member of the Church of Scientology. In February 2017, three women filed SA allegations against Masterson. This prompted the Los Angeles County Police Department (LAPD) to investigate. Within a year, Masterson was fired from his role in The Ranch and let go as a client from United Talent Agency. On August 22, 2019, four plaintiffs filed a civil lawsuit against Masterson and Scientology alleging various claims of stalking and harassment in retaliation for making the SA allegations. At the time of this live stream, that case is in front of the Supreme Court of the United States to determine whether the case can go to arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution. On June 17, 2020, Masterson was charged with three counts of r**e by force or fear. At the time of this live stream his case is set to go to trial on October 11, 2022. HARVEY WEINSTEIN: Harvey Weinstein was one of the first to be accused of SA during the MeToo movement. He is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence following a conviction in New York for SA. In a separate trial in Los Angeles, he has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of r*pe and SA involving CA Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel, and four other women.
