SOME OF THAT IS DUE TO TRAVOLTA’S FEARSOME L.A. LAWYER MARTY SGER, WHO, ALONG WH SCIENTOLOGY BOSS, HAS “HANDLED” ALL THE ALLEGATNS OF ASSLT OR HARASSMENT AGAST TRAVOLTA MUCH AS GOTTI’S FLAMBOYANT ATTORNEY, BCE CUTLER, WON THREE DRAMATIC URTROOM VICTORI FOR HIS CLIENT.THERE ARE SEVERAL EERIE PARALLELS BETWEEN TRAVOLTA AND PRTON AND JOHN AND VICTORIA GOTTI. GOTTI, WHO SCRIBED HIMSELF AS A PLUMBG SALMAN ON TAX RETURNS, NEVER ADMTED PUBLICLY TO LEADG A DOUBLE LIFE. NOR HAS TRAVOLTA. BOTH UPL ALSO LOST A SON.

ALL I KNOW IS WOULD BE A TASTROPHE IF HE OR ANYONE ELSE SCIENTOLOGY ME OUT AS GAY. YOU N’T. THE CHURCH IS ANTI-GAY EVEN IF THEY DON’T PUBLICIZE .” KAREN LA CARRIERE, ONCE ONE OF SCIENTOLOGY’S MOST POWERFUL EXECUTIV AND ONE OF THE LAST TO BE PERSONALLY TRAED BY L. RON HUBBARD, MET TRAVOLTA WHEN HE JOED SCIENTOLOGY AROUND 1975 AND LATER MET KELLY.DE LA CARRIERE SAYS TRAVOLTA IS “A BAD BOY WHO LIK RISKY SEXUAL ADVENTUR.” PRTON IS “EHER LUD OR MORE LIKELY JT AF TO THE WHOLE THG.”“THE CHURCH HAS A VERY TENSE DOCTRATN TO PREPARE YOU FOR ANYTHG YOU MIGHT HEAR,” DE LA CARRIERE SAID. “IT’S LIKE A PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE SE SOMETHG UNFORTABLE UP.

HE’S JT GOT A DARK SI AND HE’S RECKLS. BUT HE REALLY HAS NO REASON TO WANT TO LEAVE THE CHURCH. PEOPLE AT HIS LEVEL NEVER SEE THE UGLY SI OF THE CHURCH. PL, HE’S GOT OSA [SCIENTOLOGY’S OFFICE OF SPECIAL AFFAIRS] AS HIS OWN PRIVATE MAFIA IF HE GETS TO TROUBLE.”TRAVOLTA ROLLED WH A GOTTI-SIZED ENTOURAGE CANN THAT CLUD HIS ACTRS-SISTER ELLEN, VAR OTHER FAY MEMBERS, LIFELONG IENDS, HIS LONGTIME MANAGER RANDI MICHEL, AND JOHN GOTTI JR.

IN THIS EXCLIVE EXCERPT OM A BILLN YEARS, RR WR ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY’S WEB OF CELEBRI.ONE THG HUBBARD WOULDN’T HAVE WANTED OMTED WAS HIS BSH WH CELEBRI. HE WAS FASCATED BY THEM, AND HE NAME-DROPPED NSTANTLY, CLAIMG ASSOCIATN AND TERACTN PECIALLY WH HOLLYWOOD FIGUR EVEN DURG HIS TIME AS A WRER OF PULP FICTN. THIS FASCATN NTUED TO SCIENTOLOGY, WHERE HE BEGAN TO SEE THEM AS A MEANS OF GAG PUBLICY AND ACCEPTANCE. HE EVEN HAD A LIST OF “TARGET” CELEBRI TO BE LURED TO SCIENTOLOGY TO HELP MAKE POPULAR, AND THE EARLY ’70S HE CREATED THE CELEBRY CENTRE—A SCIENTOLOGY ANIZATN DITED TO THE RECG OF CELEBRI HOLLYWOOD. MISVIGE ALSO BELIEVED THE VALUE OF CELEBRI, AND VOTED A LOT OF TIME AND ATTENTN TO THEM. WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO MISVIGE BEME THE PRRY FOR HIS UNRLGS. –MIKE RR MY DAYS WERE ENDLS, CRAMMED WH KEEPG TRACK OF SCIENTOLOGY’S ENEMI, NDUCTG PROGRAMS TO NTRALIZE THEM, PUTTG OUT FIR ON THE TER, AND ALG WH THE NSTANT CELEBRY ISSU. SIMON & SCHTER PERHAPS THE STRANGT CELEBRY ENUNTER I HAD WAS WH MICHAEL JACKSON. I BEME THE GO-TO PERSON SCIENTOLOGY FOR LISA MARIE PRLEY DURG HER MARRIAGE TO JACKO. HER MOTHER, PRISCILLA, HAD BEE VOLVED SCIENTOLOGY WHEN LISA MARIE WAS YOUNG, AND SO SHE HAD BEEN RAISED A SCIENTOLOGIST. SHE ENLISTED ME HER EFFORTS TO NVERT MICHAEL TO SCIENTOLOGY, OR AT LEAST TO NVCE HIM TO ACCEPT . I GAVE THEM BOTH A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE L. RON HUBBARD LIFE EXHIBN. THROUGHOUT THE TOUR, MICHAEL WAS EXTREMELY PARANOID. HE REPEATEDLY DOVE TO THE FLOOR, WHIMPERG THAT HE HAD SEEN SOMEONE TAKG PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM THROUGH THE WDOWS, THOUGH THERE WAS NO LE OF SIGHT TO ANY PUBLICLY ACCSIBLE LOTN. LISA MARIE LGHED OFF AND EXPLAED THAT HE WAS ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT THE PAPARAZZI. HE WAS SO SOFT-SPOKEN I ULD HARDLY HEAR HIM, AND HIS MENTS AND QUTNS WERE DISJOTED AND CHILDISH. SHE HAD TOLD ME SHE THOUGHT MICHAEL UNRSTOOD HER BEE HE HAD GROWN UP THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT AND NEVER REALLY HAD A CHILDHOOD, SIAR TO HER OWN EXPERIENCE AS THE DGHTER OF THE KG. BUT WAS NOT TO LAST—THEY DIVORCED 1996.IN MARCH 1995 I FLEW TO WICHA, KANSAS, TO ATTEND THE GRAND OPENG OF A SPECIAL SCIENTOLOGY MISSN. MISVIGE HAD BEEN PHG HARD FOR CELEBRI TO BEE MORE ACTIVE PROMOTG SCIENTOLOGY, AND KIRSTIE ALLEY WAS THE FIRST TO TAKE THE STEP OF PUTTG MONEY TO OPENG A MISSN HER HOMETOWN. AFTER THE 1982 MISSN HOLR FIAS, FEW PEOPLE HAD STEPPED UP TO OPEN NEW MISSNS, WHICH HAD DIMISHED THE FLOW OF NEW RECS TO SCIENTOLOGY. CELEBRI DOG SO WOULD POPULARIZE THE IA AGA. ALLEY WAS A LONGTIME SCIENTOLOGIST WHO CREDED SCIENTOLOGY WH CURG HER DG ADDICTN. SHE HAD BEE A STAR ON CHEERS AND WAS CLOSE IENDS WH JOHN TRAVOLTA, WHO HAD BEEN AT THE TOP OF THE SCIENTOLOGY CELEBRY HEAP BEFORE TOM CISE, THOUGH HIS REER WAS NOW ON A DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY AT THE TIME WHEN CISE’S WAS HEADG TO THE STRATOSPHERE. “THROUGHOUT THE TOUR, MICHAEL [JACKSON] WAS EXTREMELY PARANOID. HE REPEATEDLY DOVE TO THE FLOOR, WHIMPERG THAT HE HAD SEEN SOMEONE TAKG PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM THROUGH THE WDOWS, THOUGH THERE WAS NO LE OF SIGHT TO ANY PUBLICLY ACCSIBLE LOTN.” TRAVOLTA FACT PILOTED ALL ON HIS GULFSTREAM OM LA TO WICHA. I SAT ACROSS OM HIS WIFE, KELLY PRTON, AND PLAYED RDS WH ISAAC HAY AND LISA MARIE PRLEY THE BACK (THEY WOULD SUBSEQUENTLY BE PERSUAD TO OPEN A MISSN MEMPHIS). KELLY STUNNED ME WHEN SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD LIVED ALAI DURG HER TEEN YEARS, JT A E OM WHERE I LIVED, AND HAD ATTEND THE SISTER SCHOOL OF THE ALL-BOYS SCHOOL WHERE I HAD SPENT MANY YEARS.TOM CISE DIDN’T ATTEND, AS HE WAS SHOOTG MISSN: IMPOSSIBLE, BUT HIS PRENCE THE SCIENTOLOGY ORB LOOMED LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE. HE WAS THE BIGGT STAR THE WORLD, AND MISVIGE WAS G THIS TO HIS ADVANTAGE. DPE THE IRS VICTORY, THE GERMAN ERNMENT STILL REFED TO REGNIZE SCIENTOLOGY, BELIEVG THE ANIZATN NTRADICTED THE UNTRY’S VALU AND NSTUTN. THE IA OF CREATG A WORLD OF SUPERMEN (CLEARS) AND REPLACG WOG LAW AND ERNMENT WH SCIENTOLOGY PRCIPL CUT TOO CLOSE TO THE BONE OF THE EARLIER MASTER RACE AND S “DTSCHLAND üBER ALL” THKG FOR THEIR LIKG. MISVIGE WANTED A MPAIGN NDUCTED AGAST GERMANY, BASED ON THE HUBBARD DICTATE OF ALWAYS ATTACKG: THIS SE, CLAIMG THAT THE GERMAN ERNMENT WAS PERSECUTG SCIENTOLOGY JT LIKE THE NAZIS HAD PERSECUTED THE JEWS. I WAS STCTED BY MISVIGE TO GET HOLLYWOOD POWERHOE LAWYER BERT FIELDS, WHO WAS CISE’S ATTORNEY, TO HELP OUT. WH TOM’S BLSG, BERT TOOK THE E OF THE SUPPOSED PERSECUTN OF OUR RELIGN GERMANY PERSONALLY. IN JANUARY 1997, HE BOUGHT A FULL-PAGE AD THE INTERNATNAL HERALD TRIBUNE SIGNATED “AN OPEN LETTER TO HELMUT KOHL,” SIGNED BY MANY OF HIS CLIENTS AND IENDS, CLUDG GOLDIE HAWN, DT HOFFMAN, OLIVER STONE, AND OTHERS, CRYG THE ACTS OF THE GERMAN ERNMENT AGAST SCIENTOLOGY. THE UNTRY STOOD S GROUND, BUT THE ATTEMPT DID PROVE THE METTLE TOM CISE’S STAR POWER. TOM CISE SPEAKS DURG THE GURATN OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY MADRID, SPA, ON SEPT. 18, 2004. PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARU/AFP/GETTY WH TOM AS MISVIGE’S MOST IMPORTANT ASSET, THE ACTOR’S NCERNS BEME SCIENTOLOGY’S NCERNS. WHEN CISE BEME AWARE OF AN UNTHORIZED BGRAPHY BY BRISH THOR WENSLEY CLARKSON, MISVIGE TOLD CISE, “I WILL TAKE RE OF THIS FOR YOU.” I WAS DISPATCHED TO LONDON WH SCIENTOLOGY -HOE LAWYER BILL DRCHER TO AL WH THE PUBLISHER AND MAKE SURE NOTHG NEGATIVE APPEARED THE BOOK. Y, A CHURCH LAWYER AND THE HEAD OF THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL AFFAIRS WERE ACTG ON BEHALF OF TOM CISE, PAID FOR BY THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY. WH A LOT OF PERSISTENCE AND VEILED THREATS, WE PERSUAD THE PUBLISHER TO ALLOW TO “REVIEW AND RRECT” ANYTHG RELATED TO SCIENTOLOGY THE MANCRIPT. WE WENT TO THE BLAKE PUBLISHG OFFIC WT LONDON AND LLECTED A PY OF THE MANCRIPT OM THE EDOR. WE TOOK BACK TO OUR ROOM AT THE SAVOY HOTEL AND SPENT TWO DAYS CLEANSG OF ANYTHG NEGATIVE RETURN FOR A PROMISE NOT TO SUE. IN TTH, THE BOOK DIDN’T REVEAL ANYTHG NEW, BUT DID NTA SOME OF WHAT WE NSIRED THE UAL “ACCURACI” ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY—LLG THE E-METER A LIE TECTOR AND SAYG THAT SCIENTOLOGISTS BELIEVE ALIENS AND THAT STS A LOT OF MONEY. IN THE OVERALL SCHEME OF THGS, HAD WE DONE NOTHG TO THE MANCRIPT, WOULD HAVE MA NO DIFFERENCE TO SCIENTOLOGY OR CISE, BUT WAS ANOTHER “SEE WHAT I N DO FOR YOU” FEATHER MISVIGE’S P WH CISE.IN 1997, CRACKS STARTED TO SHOW THE RELATNSHIP BETWEEN CISE AND MISVIGE DURG THE FILMG OF STANLEY KUBRICK’S EY WI SHUT. COSTARS TOM AND NILE WERE EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF OM THE WORLD FOR A YEAR AS THE NOTOR PERFECTNIST KUBRICK MAND RHOOT AFTER RHOOT ON THE HIGHLY SECRETIVE CLOSED SET LONDON. LOSG THE DAY-TO-DAY TERACTN WH MISVIGE AND SPENDG HIS TIME WH NILE HAD AN EFFECT ON TOM. HE WAS NOT CHECKG WH DAVE OR EVEN RETURNG HIS LLS. MISVIGE, ETTG THAT NILE WAS PULLG TOM OUT OF SCIENTOLOGY, SENT ME TO LONDON TO MEET WH TOM’S SISTER LEE ANNE AT THE DORCHTER HOTEL TO TRY TO FD OUT WHAT WAS GOG ON. LEE ANNE, A DITED SCIENTOLOGIST FOLLOWG THE FOOTSTEPS OF HER BROTHER (HE GOT HIS THREE SISTERS AND MOTHER ), CLAIMED EVERYTHG WAS FE AND THEY WERE JT BY, BUT MISVIGE DIDN’T BUY . KELLY PRTON, JOHN TRAVOLTA, AND PRISCILLA PRLEY ATTEND THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY CELEBRY CENTER 42ND ANNIVERSARY GALA HELD AT THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY CELEBRY CENTER ON AUG. 6, 2011, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. RAY KACHATORIAN/GETTY NOT ONE TO GIVE UP, MISVIGE TASKED MARTY RATHBUN WH GETTG CISE BACK THE FOLD. RATHBUN BEGAN DG CISE UNR THE DIRECT SUPERVISN OF MISVIGE. AS CISE WAS GRADUALLY DRAWN BACK TO THE WORLD OF SCIENTOLOGY, HE REDITED HIMSELF TO THE E. THIS CREATED A DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND NILE. RATHBUN WORKED WH BERT FIELDS TO HIRE FAMO PI ANTHONY PELLINO TO SPY ON NILE AND TAP HER PHON. RATHBUN ALSO TURNED THEIR TWO ADOPTED CHILDREN, ISABELLA AND CONNOR, AGAST NILE BY DOCTRATG THEM TO THE HUBBARD TEACHGS OF SUPPRSIVE PERSONS. WHEN TOM AND NILE DIVORCED, MISVIGE WAS HAPPY THAT THE “NEGATIVE FLUENCE” OF NILE WAS NO LONGER DRAGGG TOM AWAY. CISE THEREAFTER BEME MORE FERVENT HIS VOL PUBLIC SUPPORT OF SCIENTOLOGY—AND MISVIGE.WHILE MARTY WAS ALG WH CISE, I WAS TASKED WH THE JOB OF HELPG JOHN TRAVOLTA WH SOME PUBLIC RELATNS ISSU. SCE THE BEGNG OF THE ’90S, TRAVOLTA HAD BEEN HOUND BY STORI OM VAR ALLEGED MALE LOVERS, CLUDG ONE OF HIS FORMER PILOTS AS WELL AS A PORN STAR. I MET WH JOHN AND HIS ATTORNEY, JAY LAVELY, TO HELP NAVIGATE THE LAND M. THE NATNAL ENQUIRER REACHED OUT TO TRAVOLTA AND THE CHURCH FOR RPONS. REALIZG THE POTENTIAL PR DAMAGE A STORY OF GAY SEX WOULD HAVE ON THE PERFECT SCIENTOLOGY UPLE OF JOHN AND KELLY, WE DUG UP DIRT ON THE SOURC OF THE STORI AND THREATENED THE MEDIA WH LAWSUS. THE STORI WERE SHUT DOWN, AND I BEME A TSTED PERSON JOHN’S LIFE. SIAR CLAIMS HAVE NTUED TO POP UP OVER THE YEARS AND THEY HAVE BEEN NIED BY TRAVOLTA OR SHUT DOWN. GAY ALLEGATNS ARE LAND M FOR SCIENTOLOGY. SCIENTOLOGY PUBLICLY CLAIMS IS NOT ANTI-GAY (SPE HUBBARD’S WRGS TO THE NTRARY), YET THE THREAT OF A STORY SCRIBG A SCIENTOLOGIST AS GAY WOULD E PANIC TERNALLY BEE FOR A SCIENTOLOGIST, NOT BEG “CURED” OF HOMOSEXUALY WOULD DITE THAT THE TECH DON’T WORK. WHEN NVENIENT, OUR PUBLIC STATEMENTS WERE “WE DO NOT GET VOLVED MENTG ON THE PERSONAL LIV OF OUR PARISHNERS, CELEBRY OR OTHERWISE.” IN TTH, WE WERE VERY MUCH VOLVED ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR PRIVATE LIV. THIS WAS NOT RERVED EXCLIVELY FOR THE TWO BIG HEADLERS, CISE AND TRAVOLTA. KIRSTIE ALLEY AND HER ACTOR HBAND, PARKER STEVENSON, WERE BROUGHT TO THE INT BASE TO “ROLVE THEIR MARRIAGE,” THOUGH MISVIGE WAS NOT SO TERTED THEM PERSONALLY—KIRSTIE WAS PAST HER PEAK HOLLYWOOD. I WAS THE UPLE’S SIGNATED PANN WHILE THEY GOT THEIR “MARRIAGE UNSELG.” I JOED THEM FOR MEALS EACH DAY FOR THE WEEK OR SO THEY WERE THERE AND ENGAGED THEM SMALL TALK. THEY ATE THE TY BAR/Fé THE BUILDG THAT HAD BEEN NVERTED, THEME-PARK STYLE, TO LOOK LIKE AN OLD FOUR-MASTED CLIPPER SHIP, NEXT TO THE LARGE SWIMMG POOL RERVED FOR MISVIGE AND HIS GUTS. DPE THE CIRCUMSTANC, KIRSTIE WAS AN ENTERTAG MEALTIME PANN—OUTRAGEO, FUNNY, AND SOMETIM APPROPRIATELY GROSS. PARKER WAS AN EXTREMELY PLEASANT MAN WHOSE ONLY APPARENT FLAW WAS HIS LACK OF TERT SCIENTOLOGY. WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE AT ALL; THAT WAS OFF-LIMS. BUT I ULD TELL KIRSTIE HAD CID THERE WAS NO FUTURE FOR HER WH PARKER AND SO THE RULT WAS EVABLE: DIVORCE. PARKER WAS “NOT TO” SCIENTOLOGY. AND TO THE ANIZATN, THAT WAS ALL THAT MATTERED.EXCERPTED OM A BILLION YEARS BY MIKE RR. COPYRIGHT © 2022 BY MICHAEL RR. REPRTED BY PERMISSN OF GALLERY BOOKS, A DIVISN OF SIMON & SCHTER, INC. MIKE RR

THE STORI WERE SHUT DOWN, AND I BEME A TSTED PERSON JOHN’S LIFE. SIAR CLAIMS HAVE NTUED TO POP UP OVER THE YEARS AND THEY HAVE BEEN NIED BY TRAVOLTA OR SHUT DOWN. GAY ALLEGATNS ARE LAND M FOR SCIENTOLOGY. SCIENTOLOGY PUBLICLY CLAIMS IS NOT ANTI-GAY (SPE HUBBARD’S WRGS TO THE NTRARY), YET THE THREAT OF A STORY SCRIBG A SCIENTOLOGIST AS GAY WOULD E PANIC TERNALLY BEE FOR A SCIENTOLOGIST, NOT BEG “CURED” OF HOMOSEXUALY WOULD DITE THAT THE TECH DON’T WORK. WHEN NVENIENT, OUR PUBLIC STATEMENTS WERE “WE DO NOT GET VOLVED MENTG ON THE PERSONAL LIV OF OUR PARISHNERS, CELEBRY OR OTHERWISE.” IN TTH, WE WERE VERY MUCH VOLVED ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR PRIVATE LIV.

I WAS THE UPLE’S SIGNATED PANN WHILE THEY GOT THEIR “MARRIAGE UNSELG.” I JOED THEM FOR MEALS EACH DAY FOR THE WEEK OR SO THEY WERE THERE AND ENGAGED THEM SMALL TALK. THEY ATE THE TY BAR/Fé THE BUILDG THAT HAD BEEN NVERTED, THEME-PARK STYLE, TO LOOK LIKE AN OLD FOUR-MASTED CLIPPER SHIP, NEXT TO THE LARGE SWIMMG POOL RERVED FOR MISVIGE AND HIS GUTS. DPE THE CIRCUMSTANC, KIRSTIE WAS AN ENTERTAG MEALTIME PANN—OUTRAGEO, FUNNY, AND SOMETIM APPROPRIATELY GROSS. PARKER WAS AN EXTREMELY PLEASANT MAN WHOSE ONLY APPARENT FLAW WAS HIS LACK OF TERT SCIENTOLOGY. WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE AT ALL; THAT WAS OFF-LIMS. BUT I ULD TELL KIRSTIE HAD CID THERE WAS NO FUTURE FOR HER WH PARKER AND SO THE RULT WAS EVABLE: DIVORCE. PARKER WAS “NOT TO” SCIENTOLOGY.
