In advance of Thursday’s court hearing in Valerie Haney’s kidnapping and harassment lawsuit, Scientology’s attorney William Forman has filed a declaration accusing Valerie of “obstructionist tactics and bad faith selection of unavailable arbitrators.”
Religious arbitration is a F’n joke. You’re going to sit with the accused, you have 1-3 arbitrators from the church/cult you escaped and then this is going to go in your favor. Like scientology is going to for the first time in decades say, you’re right Valerie we did violate, abuse and keep you against your will. Not going to ever happen! Also, I don’t care who she picked? Why is it cheeky that she named her abitrators. Tom finished a movie; available. Kate Moss who can make her own schedule if she’s that much of a bad ass (I haven’t seen her in shit) then she can do it. Shelly Miscavige has been publicly known to be a kept woman of the abusive COB of COS. I wish Valerie the best of luck and I hope this judge won’t be a P***y!
As a California lawyer, I find it bizarre that a court would find that arbitration clause to be OK given the inherent bias. That decision will need to be appealed. So, she has to nominate someone who she knows will rule against her because, Scientology? Crazy.
It seems Scientology is not honoring their own contract with Valerie. To not allow her requests for an arbitrator certainly is a breech of that contract. How is she to know who is unavailable unless she first requests someone as arbitrator?
Perhaps this breach should be added to her lawsuit.
Lol, Jason, I was watching Aaron, Mark and Mike calling them jokers and degraders! I think maybe I laugh to keeping from crying sometimes because it is all so frustrating to listen to. But the day of reckoning is coming, I feel it in my bones

Well said, Jenn!
Correction: Elisabeth Moss. I was fired up when I wrote it oops 🙊
You only get fired up because you care :)
I totally got that, lol
All I can say about being called obstructionist is “it takes one to know one.”
Valerie Haney's arbitration picks have been the most beautiful "up yours" to Scientology.
Observer, put that bowl of brains down and take a bow. Also, "has a license to kill!' Should read "has a license to krill!"
Valeria and her legal crew have something up their sleeves. I hope it is 5 Aces and 1 Joker.
Hey Obs, you win the internet!!
Congrats, Obs!

Congrats, Obs! And every comment a gem :D
Now that I’m out, I relish the freedom to engage in unfettered “joking and degrading”, like with these mocking statuses.
Can I have a licence to irritate people a bit, please?
Granted. And don't bamboozle me with your missing underscore. You know how easily confused I am!
