Justice. Tony--you have to tell us Masterson’s reaction. Thank you for the quick reporting.

Ok, this is a win on so many levels. For all the women Masterson abused and for abused women everywhere. And Scientology’s hypocrisy and lies are exposed in a tangible and clear cut manner. The cult is not for truth, freedom and Justice, it will do anything to preserve is pristine image as the most ethical group on the planet. Miscavige and his organization are going down. This is a big nail in its coffin.

I hope that nail that you refer to is made of titanium...We can hope, anyway.

Let's see what happens with the civil case.

Miss Savage and his slimey lawyers and paid thugs have been breaking laws all over the

planet, BRAZENLY(in scientologese: "tone 40"), for decades...and CONTINUE TO DO SO.

BUT...I really, really hope that your prediction is correct!

By the way, congratulations on getting your movie out there! Wishing you tons of inspiration and well-paid gigs with appreciative audiences🙏🏽💖

The whole thing is so sad. I'm relieved the Jane Doe's don't need to go through another trial and am so sorry they've had to fight so hard. I'm sorry for Bijou and all of Masterson's family who, no doubt, believed his versions of the events for which he's now being held accountable. Knowing how scientologists think, this comes as a shock to all of them. I'm relieved this part of it is over ... and am so grateful to you, Tony, for sitting there day after day while waiting for the jury's decision. Wow ... what a way to end the month of May.

I wouldn't be surprised if Danny treated Bijou in exactly the same way as he had treated the Jane Does, especially Jane Doe 3. It might take Bijou some time, but one day she might realize that she too has been a victim of abuse.

Yes. A narcissistic, entitled, cult-programmed abuser who was protected and coddled had no reason to change...

In most inmate prison populations, pedophiles and rapists are detested...

I wonder if any of his fellow inmates know about his "DJ Donkeypunch" moniker? Let's just say the future will be...interesting...for Danny...

I had a feeling the who time the jury deliberated that they were going to from Jane Doe 1- 3 each and that they had already decided on one and two, but were hung up on the 3rd. I literally ran around my house saying. FINALLY!!!!! I so wish I had been there when the verdict was read.

Here in England and for the first time getting news before bedtime! Justice for these brave & inspirational women, the least they are due! I had seen the Jane Doe’s on The Aftermath and it was heartbreaking....we all knew they were telling the truth, which is why we care so much for justice, the hope of peace, time to recover and live their best lives, so much love goes to them all .......can’t wait to see your proprietor’s video with my morning cup of tea.

To all those who have battled Scientology and continue to be harassed, Tonight I think of your courage and bravery as well. The fight is worth fighting. I hope this is just the beginning of the unravelling of the Cult of Scientology. It’s far from over....
