The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because they said church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church.
Cults are bad, people. Religion is bad because it’s a normalized / accepted cult. Eff this guy.
I noticed that Topher Grace didn’t get mentioned for writing a letter to the judge. I’ve never thought he’s a great actor (he was pretty good in Traffic), but I like him a bit more now.
Did I miss the apology? They didn’t actually apologize for writing the letters. They apologized if their letters “traumatized the victims”. No removed, the trauma didn’t come from your letters, they came from being forcefully raped by the person you subsequently called “a role model”.
