mbaywife123 June 9, 2018 Share June 9, 2018 Didn't know exactly where to post this so I will park it on this thread. I am watching the movie Friends With Benefits starring Justin Timberlake & Mila Kunis and the Justin Timberlake character takes a swipe at $cientology in the film when their characters hike to the Hollywood sign and climb the fence to gain illegal access to the sign itself. Scene: Justins character:" They take this very seriously, look at all cameras this is the only landmark this city has other than the $cientology center, and if any of these cameras are hooked up to the actual $cientology center that was an inappropriate joke, I apologize I believe in the freedom of science fiction." What make this even sweeter is that none other than Jenna Elfman plays Justin's sister in the movie and Danny Masterson was of course Mila's boyfriend in that 70's show! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51803-aftermath-in-the-media/page/7/#findComment-4400973

This is all so twisted I can't even find the words except that it's pathetic that COS won that case in 2009 to begin with and the idea that it could be used by NXIVM now or by COS in the future to get them off the hook is truly disgusting. https://nypost.com/2018/12/28/nxivm-lawyers-use-scientology-to-dispute-forced-labor-allegations/ 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51803-aftermath-in-the-media/page/7/#findComment-4945937
