One of the three women accusing "That '70s Show" star Danny Masterson of sexual assault gave shocking testimony Friday and revealed what she left out of her original police report in an effort to protect the Church of Scientology and its leader.
"You have to remember that Jane Doe 1 was brought up in Scientology and it's a really totalitarian system," said editor of The Underground Bunker Tony Ortega, who's covering the trial. "You really believe that the Church of Scientology is the most important organization on Earth, and David Miscavige is the most important human being who lives, and a Scientologist would die rather than cause him problems.
The church said it has "no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of scientologists, or of anyone, to law enforcement" and that "church policy explicitly demands Scientologists abide by all laws of the land."The woman, then 27, was the best friend of Masterson's assistant and part of the same social circle of Church of Scientology members.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo said before the trial that she would not allow Scientology to become a de facto defendant, but would allow limited discussion of it.

Phil Rosenthal Is Bringing People Together, One Bite at a TimeHow did Phil Rosenthal go from Emmy-winning creator of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ to a global food superstar with the Netflix reality series ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ (October 18)? 'Everything I learned about how to tell a story on TV is now in the service of this show. Family, friends, food, travel, laughs. My whole existence seems to be dedicated to these five things,” Rosenthal told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. But even Rosenthal admits the idea of him hosting a travel food show is wild. 'This is the one line that actually sold the show, I said, 'I'm exactly like Anthony Bourdain, if he was afraid of everything.'' Which sums up the frenetic charm of Rosenthal perfectly.
