As the Church of Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige, continue to fight allegations that they harass former members, yet another ex-Scientologist has come forward to describe the “abuse” she says she suffered after deciding to leave the Church.
Scientologist actor Jason Lee‘s ex-wife, model Carmen Llywelyn, tells Radar exclusively, “The whole Scientology thing has been sort of just this thing that I can’t shake off. It’s really messy.” She even claims, “The Church of Scientology harassed me.”
Llywelyn first became involved in the church when dating Lee in 1994. “I had never heard of it,” she tells Radar. “In fact, I came from a strict Bible belt religious background, that if something was anti-godly, it was very cult.”
Then one day, “Jason and his friend came to pick me up,” she says. “His friend… had on one of those clear bracelets that means something for a very high status place you reach [in Scientology]. It was expensive-looking, and I’m like poor, like ‘Whoah, were did you get that?’”
Not long after, “I got into Scientology,” she admits. “The way it presented it to me was so rational. There was nothing about it that you end up learning later on. That is very compromising.”

“Because I did grow with the teachings,” she admitted. “It would be a lie if I said I didn’t. And that’s what I loved about it. But Scientology is an extreme lifestyle. And no one should have to exchange every corner of their mind written down.”
“If anyone is considering joining the Church of Scientology, know this 1st,” she wrote in another tweet. “Your first confessions in session will be used against you if you leave.”
So why do people join to begin with? She recently wrote, “Honestly I think some people want to succeed at any cost. And they tell you if you become a Scientologist you will.”
