and Connor after their
divorce in 2001.
“I know what techniques
they used – the Cruise kids
had no choice,” she alleges.
“After the divorce, they
were indoctrinated into
Scientology and very much
isolated. You can’t be
anti-Scientology if you’re
part of Tom’s family –
you will be disconnected.
Look at his daughter Suri.”

Back from the dead
Sam claims John Travolta
tried to revive his son Jett,
who passed away from
a seizure aged 16 in 2009,

the Thetan [spirit] to get

backintothebody,saying,
‘I command you to get
into the body now,’” Sam
explains. “This is meant to
raise them back to life.”

Star recruiter
While Jada Pinkett Smith’s
always downplayed her
involvement in the church,
Sam boldly claims she was
“a recruiter – I’m sure she’d
be getting commission for
it. Jada was always [at the]
Celebrity Centre, doing her
thing with Kelly Preston

They were the Stepford
Wives of Scientology.”

Public humiliation
According to Sam, Kirstie
Alley was forced to “beg”
church members to allow
her “back in” after she

which was banned while
doing courses.
“It meant getting the
signatures of at least
101 people, so she was
working the room and
telling everyone all the
great tasks for Scientology
she’d done to prove she
was genuinely sorry,” says
Sam. “How degrading for
such a huge star to be going
up to all the tables in the
restaurant literally begging
people, ‘Please can you sign
my liability form?’’’
The church denies Sam’s
claims, but she refuses to
stay silent, insisting, “I’m
no longer afraid of these
idiots. No-one was going
to keep me quiet about
what Scientology does to
people’s lives.” ■
