Scientologists Are Persistent, Diane von Furstenberg's Fashionable Mugging [Gossip Roundup]

... probably true.) Page Six reports that he then came back to the ABC studio 45 minutes before the show was set to air and tried to get it canned. Security guards and staffers, probably ridden with thetans, told him he couldn't speak to Bashir or the executive producer and that the show would run unchanged. This made Davis sad. As senior church members probably aren't allowed to savagely beat junior minions any more, we can only guess how he dealt with this crimp in his Sunday evening. [Page Six] ...

... ). The report focused on the "church's" insane mythology, their celebrity worshippers (Tom Cruise, Will Smith, John Travolta) and allegations that the cult's leader David Miscavige beats and demoralizes staff. In an effort to bring rational and logical counterpoints to these arguments, Scientology rolled out their psychotic spokesman, Tommy Davis (actress Anne Archer's son), to plead their case.

Tommy Davis Was A Desperate Man & Scientology Found Guilty Of Fraud
Crazy Days and Nights —
... The NY Post has a great followup piece to the devastation that was wrought by Nightline on The Church Of Scientology last week. I know I linked to ABC yesterday and in one of the video segments you see Tommy Davis walking off the set in a huff. That was when Martin Bashir asked Tommy about the whole Xenu thing. Instead of Tommy taking the questions like a man and spinning them into something palatable he chose to get up and walk off the set. You can tell the guy is like a child. He must be the biggest a-hole in the world because he looks like one when he is trying to lie and do ...
