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.

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
