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.

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

And sce gay male sex addicts may not discs their sexual behavr even wh good iends, nobody challeng them on their late-night explos unsafe plac, their arrt rerd or bsh wh the law, or potential health risks bee of their behavr.
