Over the years we've heard a lot about the Church of Scientology. It's high profile has been bolstered by Hollywood A-listers. But what goes on behind the walls of this religion isn't always glamorous. The church is led by David Miscavige, a man who usually prefers to stay out of the public eye. But now his niece has shone a bright, unwelcome light upon the church and it's behaviour. Jenna Miscavige Hill spent more than 20 years in the church with her uncle. She told her story to Liz Hayes.

This cult needs to be eliminated!
Agreed
Be careful the can see u
@@bodhisattva2348 They can bring it on. People need to stop being intimidated by them. They can’t even sue anyone anymore!
@MaryKay8878 I write a college paper on scientology in college. 🤣🤣🤣 my professor had so many questions. She never heard of them; she read all my sources & all the books I used & referenced in my essay. Even a yr after I didn't have her class she came to me & asked what was the other book I referenced in my essay. She literally never heard of this religion
@@bodhisattva2348 is she a professor in the United States? If so, that seems pretty odd that she didn't know about them.
Tom Cruise's behaviour is sickening, he's fully aware of the abuses in scientology.
A dangerous man indeed
He is twisted. I knew he was weird, but I didn't realize how disturbed he is!!
Tom Cruise is part of the problem. Not only does he know about it all. But he has his whole staff, that are only scientologists. He is very abusive towards them. Treats them like dirt, and they don’t get paid.
Why do you think Katie Holmes had to escape with her daughter. While Tom was out of the country. She got Siri out, before they could indoctrinate her. Very brave.
Also, all of his movies, Scientology is the benefactor of all his residuals that he gets. So Tom and Hollywood are keeping Scientology running. It’s completely disgusting and disturbing. Scientology has always threatened, the police, the courts, the IRS, and Gov.
Let’s hope, with all these people leaving, and Danny Masterson being put away in prison. That this will finally start turning the tide. Where they cannot avoid the abuses any longer. Vengeance is near. Let’s hope it’s sooner than later.
Boycott him . Cancel him . I hate his reaction on the interview !
Tom Cruise is gay, and he's not dealing with that fact very well...
John travolta, Tom Cruise jada picket smith, will smith and any actor supporting this cult should be canceled immediately!!!
Why? Don’t be so woke. Sad
Why?? Live your life it’s not that deep, imagine if you got fired because you believe in Jesus 🤡
Because people don’t realise free masonary is a real thing
@@ZaeOSWSThe only one who will look like a clown at the end of those ride is you. All knees shall bow and tongues confess
@@ZaeOSWSthere’s a difference between a religion and a cult which kills people brutally, tortures & stalks people, traps people and takes away every single bit of their money with contracts, Scientology is not something normal, it’s inhumane, even they believe they aren’t humans. down with scientology
Jenna’s book was amazing. I’ve listened to it twice. I cannot fathom how Scientology is legal and considered religion. It’s terrifying.
Wealthy, influential, megalomaniacal psychos always enslave thousands of individuals. It's just how mankind is structured. Rich gotta rich. Poor gotta serve and suffer. It is what it is. Humanity is classy.
When these leaders see God, they will be sent to an eternal place of torment. God is not mocked.
and so will the fake Christian politicians than support them @@EtT-mc3pn
@@EtT-mc3pn That's just replacing one form of madness with another.
Governments, politicals, judges ; lawyers must be inside of this shit as well.
This needs to be aired on 60 Minutes in US and every major network.
Sadly, US legacy media is too scared of them.
They're laundering money for the #rich
@michael-ir8cj awww, first day at kindertroll?
@@michael-4k4000But… it’s not a church at all, it’s pure nonsense. It’s only considered a church by those who don’t know any better.
@@michael-4k4000 utter BS
Scientology MUST lose its tax-exempt status. And they need to be prosecuted for kidnapping and human trafficking. And sued out of existence.
Right. It's not a church an Hubbard was not a God.
How the hell could people think a science fiction writer is a God? @@lareeseblaque8303
It's a legal money laundering racket.
I think they are the ones who do the sueing.
I think they focused on specific careers when recruiting early members.
@@commonsense5709- At the very least.
How can parents not see their children?!? Mind boggling. This young woman must be super centred to be able to have retained her own thoughts and common sense. So glad she is past it!
Control and unchecked abuse. Imagine how compliant you would be if your children were in someone's care. You will do anything. Plus, who are the children gonna complain to when they're used as labor or mistreated? Not Mom and Dad. They aren't hovering anywhere nearby. So you can pretty much guarantee anything was happening to those kids because the cult doesn't believe in calling the law either surprised scores of kids aren't missing or dead.
Lots of people send their kids to boarding school’s for years. It’s an old money thing but I wonder who was taking care of her the whole time.
Being a Miscaviage it must have been at least twice as difficult.
Aren't you scared of retaliation from these psychopaths? Thank you for your brave reporting, which unfortunately may have consequences from this insane cult.
The way they alienate children from thier parents is criminal. It breaks my heart.
Thank you.. it’s Criminal along with child abuse, & kidnapping

Shut this circus down!!!! Absolutely sickening and disturbing.
I’m just perplexed how this cult has gotten away with their nefarious behavior for so long without any consequences. These young people need to start filing lawsuits against this cult for child abuse 🤷🏻♀️
I read the head of the cult, Miscavige, has had 27 attempted servings of lawsuits but somehow cannot be located. Watching some scientology documentaries, he allegedly physically assaulted staff..bashing, kicking etc. TF. Short man syndrome maybe. Really makes one wonder what happened to his missing wife.
Wealthy, influential, well-connected individuals can do ANYTHING. It doesn't matter what the crime is. Chump is one of the most obvious examples of that.
Rich gotta rich. Poor gotta serve and suffer. That's just how it is.
Masculinists and psychopaths rules society and it tolerates such abuse. Vote radical feminists into power and watch how these institutions lose power.
I watched Alyson Mack growing up in her acting. Seeing the potential..and although she could have been brainwashed I'm tired of hearing that females are only victims...some are some aren't...then the guy about acting ... Tom Cruise is an actor. Take down scientology. I am a Christian but we follow the bible...it's not twisted into benefiting men and so many evil things. Anything causes pain or if any child is forced to stay away from their parents. And actually abortion is a sin. Way too many things going on in this. The church can only deny so much. I lost ALL respect for Tom Cruise
😊
Alyson Mack was part of the human trafficking. Hundreds have said all the laws being broke there and noone is doing anything.
They are more of a mafia than a religion. It’s absolutely horrific what they get away with. I’m glad this girl and her husband found their way out.
The mafia has better food and better family values
Yeah, my thought was why aren’t those in law-enforcement shutting down some of this stuff? Look at the child labor alone. Kids can’t work legally in this country until they’re 15 right?
@@smbarone2000 It's a difficult one, in the US cops don't want to touch it because they don't want to attack religious organisations, (and also because they often get paid by Scientology.)
The FBI were looking at doing a raid and a human trafficking charge, but they changed their mind when they realised the difficulty of making a case when all the victims they freed were likely to say "oh no, we wanted to be there" because they are brainwashed to not get the organisation into trouble
@@dzonbrodi514 Are you for real putting the mafia as the lesser evil here? Sure it's nice to be born into the mafia of you a part of the "right" family, but it's an evil shit show for the rest of society.
All religions are cults and mafias
May accountability come soon to David Miscavige and his goons that this dangerous and ridiculous cult be disbanded. Thank you to 60 minutes Australia and all the brave former members who are speaking out. Bravo! Thank you for your courageous work.
one thing that blows my mind: the legal system's lack of interest/action to protect those people from those "billion year contracts"? i mean, seriously...how in the name of all things holy and un-holy are those "billion year contracts" even legitimate? you'd think that any lawyer or judge who has any shred of common sense (or morals or integrity) would be talking about how illegal those contracts are. but then, it shows just how powerful the almighty dollar is.
In most states any "contract" signed by a minor is invalid and unenfoceable.
It’s a Cult of Personality....next come it’s consequences.
Bye bye $cientology. Btw, David "Slappy" Miscaviage is the leader, not the Founder.
@@jamesdick2580 They are not binding contracts in any legal way, but the courts cannot really even say what I just said without getting into some gray areas around the 1st Amendment.
As someone that has been locked in a basement at scientology I can actually vouch for the actions of these.. everything his niece is saying is very true. She's lucky if she didn't get sent the compound. But she was his neice.
What a courageous and strong woman!! I am blown away by her honesty and straightforwardness. She deserves only the highest respect and a life of loving people around her to care for her. She and her husband have freed themselves and are now making it possible for others to do the same, and not even get sucked into this sick cult. Thankyou so much!!!
Jenna and Dallas are speaking the truth and this cult needs to be shut down
What a brave couple. I hope that Scientologists don’t retaliate against them for speaking out.
It won’t be shut down because they are seen as a legitimate religion according to law.

@@davechristian7543to me , the worst evil is the religion of Science... Not scientology.
60 minutes Australia has the best investigative reporting in the world.
everything she says is true. I was one of those kids back in 98' at the Quality Inn at Florida and its amazing how the goverment is in it...all the police in Clearwater treats them like angels....its very hard to leave once you are in
Those cops were Scientologists too?
@@notimetodienttd1115Cops receive large donations from Scientology plus individual police have their pockets lined with "overtime" to work as security for them (a common arrangement where private organisations pay the departments huge rates for police to work as private security outside of their normal shift hours).
The individual cops know what side their bread is buttered on and it's also solidified through the department hierarchy via donations and fees - just for good measure.
20 years ago I had a friend who harbored a friend of hers who left the church of Scientology. The woman was 20 or 21 years old, an adult, whose parents raised her in the religion. The church essentially sent thugs to track her down and take her to a rehabilitation camp. These huge intimidating guys showed up at my friend's door repeatedly, telling her they know she was lying, sitting out in the parking lot of her condo, etc. She finally answered the door one day with her 9mm in hand and told them to never, ever come back or they and the church would be part of a massive news story. Her friend running from the church was scared, didn't want her to call the cops because that would start a trail and the church would know where she was. That's how bad things can get.
Thank you for sharing this. 💯 True!

@@ct6852duh
Such cruel and neglectful parenting. Teens need their parents emotional and physical support.
Only if the parents are capable of giving it.
They certainly don't need abuse, neglect, and hard labor! Unbelievable this has never been criminally charged.
They are not seen as children. They are the property of The Church. They are treated as adults. It's incredibly sick. They control every aspect of their lives.

Scientology being able to freely operate as it does IS a crime against humanity.
Wish these brave folks the best 🙏
I read a lot of L.Ron Hubbard sci-fi when I was a teen in the 80s. I enjoyed them. I only found out about the church much later on in life. One of his own lines on religion always stuck with me... "the best way to get rich is to start a religion" (or words to that effect)... That just makes me take the whole thing as a scam.
Miscaviage is NOT the founder, he is just the creepy guru that took over at some point.
This isn't sudden. The press didn't reveal this. Her book came out in 2013 and I've been very frustrated that nobody has taken it seriously. She waited 10 years for people to say "wow, she's telling the truth."
I saw this clip a few years ago.
@myoldvhstapes Her book is great. I took it as a "good book for the plane" and I finished it on an 8hr flight.
This interview is ten years old. They say she’s 29 years old and she’s 39 now.
60 Minutes Australia does a far better job when it comes to reporting, than any other news source does in America.
I could not agree more.
Me too…. Thanks 60 minutes Australia
💯!
Watching from America! I watch everything Australia 60 minutes post! Great investigative reporting 👍🏼
I watch from France and yes it better than orher network.
Love you Jenna for coming out with the story.
It sounds like fiction that only happens in the movies as unbelievably evil and cultic.
But seeing how it affected you both so deeply is almost unforgivable.
How could they do this to children and people.
and how could politicians defend them
He really did show his absolute fear and heartbreak when she spoke of trying to take her own life.
Why governments haven’t shut this down is beyond me
Because the religious right runs this country
Because it’s a money maker that controls people. The government likes their business model!
Follow the Money!!!
@@SHARON.I🐂💩
@@SHARON.I you mean 'religion' runs it. Y'all have 'In god we trust' on your money for crying out loud.
My brother was at the top of Scientology at one time, got out finally after 20 years. He is a survivor, but not really as he will never be the same after all that brain washing and manipulation.
Took him 20 years to figure out David Koresh's afterbirth had problems? Bet you can convince those morons stop signs are yellow
This is the first time I've actually heard the Church of Scientology stands for and how it was founded. It sounds like something a science fiction writer would conceive. WAIT A MINUTE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!!!!
He even write about how to start a cult religion in a previous book. Nobody took note, so he did it.
I took a free personality test at the Church of Scientology office in Vancouver 1980, and answered all the 'moral dilema' questions as Jesus would have answered. After they had looked at the results, they said I had done pretty good, but still needed to take some expensive courses they offered to better myself. Even Jesus needs their help.
Is not a church!
That’s child abuse! Hope someone takes them down.
Leah Remini tried with the document-series that she did... they just kept going after her and denying EVERYTHING!!
Not nearly as bad as the child abuse going on for generations in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, or fanatical Mormons)😢
Also if they could declare them NOT A CHURCH.

I hopw so too,! they are deceivers after money of people using then exploiting them. its scary.
A 7 year old signing a billion year contract is just evil!! These people need to be arrested
This is not a church! It bothers me so much that it's called that.
Well said
Hubbard sais : if we want money , let’s make Scientology a church ! He was not wrong , for once !
It's not Ny worse than a Christian church. Both all bull, and neither are proven. So, don't go there...
How is it not a "church"? "Church" just means congregation or "community of believers".
This young man and woman are just incredibly brave. Thank God she did not take her life. I am glad they broke free. Such strength and love for each other. I wish you well.

Well tbh she is now in more danger and vulnerable to retaliation from the cult hierarchy. They definitely won't let things like this go under the radar, family, blood or otherwise... The cult will seek revenge! 😮

she said a mouthful when she said it was/is a crime against humanity!!!! I truly wish this church could be exposed for what/who they really are and held accountable for the evil that they are!!!!
How anyone could have believed a Sci-Fi writer had come up with a plausible religion is beyond me. It's pure Science Fiction.
A four year old only sees her mother once a week?! That’s freaking crazy.
I cannot imagine being so influenced by insane people that I'd agree to never see my babies!! :(
Cults only care about money. They don't care at all, about humans.
Miscavige is pure evil. The creep belongs in a jail cell.
I really hope one day soon he finally gets locked up for life.
What an amazing host, so calm, not seeking sensation, and sympathetic. Well done.
Bro this is not okay. you can even see them crying as they share this story. God have mercy on them.
Speaking as someone who's been to a scientology boarding school - she's not wrong.
Well you can't say that and then give us no details 😳

I've been to regular boarding schools but that was nothing like this.
I do know at a boarding school there is no escape.

to me , the worst evil is the religion of Science... Not scientology.
@@dongshengdi773 kindly direct me to some literature on the “religion of science”.
Science is still a religion, a dogmatic cult. Science can’t explain many things including how people can know things that they apparently can’t possibly know. Science is easily corrupted via industry bias due to its lack of transparency and funding platforms. Both religion and science are cults of belief, that rarely work in synchronisation. Both are vehicles for laundering money. They are 2 sides of the same coin.
Who owns the us news
I keep seeing cnn Australia but this should be all over us!!!
I don’t understand how they continue to get away with what can only be called criminal behavior.
The eyes say it all😢
Scientology is getting hammered and I’m here for it.
Good grief. This cult needs to be taken down. It’s insane.
There’s something seriously wrong with any organization that separates a person from family and friends.
Thank u for keeping this in the limelight
I was an extern at a dental office owned by a Scientologist Doctor. Come to find out. Everyone that got hired there were encouraged to convert to Scientology. I’m Christian and that office felt like I was around dead people walking it was frightening. I ended up leaving and doing my externship at another office.
You mean intern ? Internship?
There are a lot of dentists and chiropractors in Scientology. Scientology owns a company called WISE that works with a lot of dentists and chiropractors offices around the country. Not sure why those fields in particular.
@@MidnightAndLuna Sounds like fronts to launder a lot of money.
@@commonsense5709 it definitely does!
@@MidnightAndLunaI believe it’s because they don’t prescribe medication. You know they don’t believe in taking much of anything especially in the field of mental health. That could be the reason. 🧐I understand that Jehovah Witnesses don’t celebrate anything, I’m not sure about the medical part. 🫤 Most of all ALL these CULTS where they cut you away from your family is NOT done out of LOVE. ✌🏻
I'm particularly struck by her explanation of how hard it is for the members who are fully invested in this indoctrination to leave. To experience their world crumbling down around them is similar to how all cult members or religious people might feel after leaving. You try to avoid it. It happened to me when I discarded my religious indoctrination too. But because it's hard to do, I don't expect anyone reading this to leave or a mass exodus from cults or religions. But if you do, you're free from it. You can shed its flaws. You can live. Free at last.
They aren’t allowed to read anything on the internet about the church in case it influences them in a negative way regarding the church! So no, no Scientologist will read your comment 😢
Thank you for sharing this. I am so glad you are free at last. I hope everything is going amazing and well for you and that you are able to enjoy life ❤
@@alisamodin9032 Thank you. I am doing well and enjoying life better now. But it's still hard to see others who may be suffering, sometimes in silence or alone, and don't feel free, especially with family and friends who don't quite understand.
Good religions lighten our mental and emotional burdens, which in turn give a feeling of greater freedom.
@@marih3286 That's neither always true nor true for everyone. And after trying my best in what you might call a "good" religion, it wasn't true for me. Even generally speaking, I think all "good religions" have too many flaws for most people. Sometimes you don't know what burdens you carry. Or what freedom still might exist for you. Too many variables to mention.
Any organization that keeps parents from their children is evil..why would parents go along with that???
I can't imagine the cognitive dissonance experienced when you're a few hundred thousand dollars in, your whole social network/life purpose on the line, and the Xenu/volcano story is revealed...
They are totally telling the truth. You could see how upset her husband was with the thought of losing her when they were talking about when she almost jumped off the building. That emotion can't be made up.
And she is quite emotional telling their story.
Agree o
Note: Jenna is the leaders niece not the founders niece.
I hope Jenna knows that she has the support of so many neverins even though she isn’t speaking out with the same vigor she once did! Her book is amazing! She deserves all the happiness in the world!

I’ve heard dozens of stories, just like hers and Scientology says they’re all lying. Damage control really isn’t Scientology’s strong suit.
How has this so called “church” not been shut down and the leader not in prison for human trafficking?
I want to know why, too??
They fought hard in US courts to be labeled as a legitimate church so now they have full religious protection.
Money can buy anything even the law.
David Miscavage's own father also wrote a "tell all" book, about how really evil his son was and is. He too was banded, and escaped from the compound. Thank you so.
There is also the book: A Billion Years by Mike Rinder (former high rank Scientologist)

Im usually really good at hiding the pain over this kind of church from my childhood. Today it hits hard. The tears are flowing. They almost ruined my life. I wish nothing but love and strength to these two beautiful people. You are worth it. You are enough. It does get easier. Many blessings.
I wish the same for you. ❤🙏 Congratulations on getting free.
It's nothing to do with Christianity or Jesus Christ , so why on earth call it a church??
why, did you also suffer in some way?
Anyone who's ever seen Louis Theroux's documentary on scientology will know how sinister and dangerous they are when dealing with anything they perceive to be an attempt to expose them. Scary stuff.

Australia's 60 Minutes has great reporting and exposés! ❤❤❤❤
I was fortunate enough to read Jenna Miscaviage’s book years ago (around 2015 I believe). I really knew next to nothing about Scientology. Her book is a must read because it details her entire life story in this cult and even having no parents because of it.
Wow. Thank you. Good info!
How can this be allowed in a free democracy, why don’t federal authorities do something…
I remember going to a Scientology recruiting session more out of curiosity but the whole scene screamed "weird" and I left that place. Not a good place.
at 5:16 it looks like an average episode of SOUTH PARK. 😂
She asked what was the difference between a cult and Scientology and the answer is several billion dollars.
Just to clear up a confusion: the "occult" deals with supernatural beliefs, and communication with the deceased. Also used to describe the practices of Wicca, such as casting spells, etc. There are many ways of joining the occult, but it's not one single group.
A "cult" is a group of people living under the tyranny of one high leader who makes unreasonable demands, and the members will do or sacrifice ANYTHING for that leader.
@@joanthompson5606 both wacky

The "elite" tricked you into slavery, the truth exposed 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖
all the cults have criminal conduct
Get one thing right,this is no Church!!!
As an American Roman Catholic that had to deal with Scientologists(being from Los Angeles), I applaud 60 Minutes Australia. Excellent work as always 👏💪
Did you manage to leave your cult?
Need Holy Inquisition to return !
No One Escapes the Inquisition!😊
There’s plenty of Scientologists in Australia too
In Australia, Scientology is officially listed as a "cult," and treated as such.
Great that 60 Mins Australia is covering the abuses of Scientology. I hope they'll get into the human trafficking that they do regularly.
God bless Jenna and Dallas.
Good for her! Smart woman to speak out and reveal the truth!
David Miscavige is not the founder of Scientology. He is its current leader. It's still L. Ron Hubbard who had founded Scientology.
No way! really???
…they said it in the video.
And Hubbard did not wanted Miscavige to be the next leader.
@@dilloinitaliano😂
@@forrestfeyAccording to many people, that's true.
@@forrestfeywell that's interesting? 😮 I wonder then how he did become leader?
Where is David Miscavige's wife Shelly she has not been seen in public since 2007. There should be a full investigation into her whereabouts as soon as possible.
It's so scary.
How is this even legal?!
