But why wasnt it released b4?

[fauxkaren]

Maybe she was afraid of what the cult would do to her if it was released and she asked for the interview to not be released? But now that she's passed, they feel ok releasing it? idk. Pure speculation.

[deja_vu822]

i thought this at first too but feel like if that were the case, the person who wrote it would say explicitly "Lisa Marie asked me not to release this until after her death" or something

[nutella_forever]

aren't her mother or daughter still in it? maybe she feared ruining her relationship with them by being named as a "suppressive person" by Scientology

edit_ I fell victim to the ONTD doesn't read curse, saw now on the post that she claims both her mother and daughter left with her, good for them

[maryjanewatson]

any news that someone was able to leave that fucking cult is good news.

[doriiansz]

Good to see her and Riley left that cult 🙌 And her quote about Tom Cruise is chilling. Fuck him.

I thought they were back in now?

[doriiansz]

Again!? Wtf is going on? Can sb confirm this?

[celja]

Idk thought I read that here or on Twitter but it could be wrong of course.

I just recently remembered my colleague was friends with Lisa when Lisa lived in England, and she told this story of how Scientology sent John Travolta over in his jet to convince Lisa to not leave Scientology. I was told this story in 2016, it might be public knowledge.

I find it hard to believe her marriage to MJ was anything but a PR rehabilitation of his image.

same

[mad_hatter80]

they were seeing each other before the allegations hit and also kept seeing each other after the marriage ended. could have been both a PR stunt AND love. Just like how stars today use their relationships for PR purposes.

Honestly I can see it being both PR and "love" (or what they thought was love) given how insanely weird i'm sure both heir lives/childhoods were they probably bonded so close over it and it felt like being in love.
