The readers of the Underground Bunker know that when Scientologists die, even fairly well known ones, they sometimes get more of a memorial here than they do from Scientology itself.
Yes, I fear Kirstie and Kelly Preston may have let their cancer go too long to be treated into remission medically, but we'll never know for sure unless her adult children get out. I hope they do.
I also wonder if Steve Andersen went with untreated heart disease. I believe he knew he had a heart condition but whether or not he treated it medically....
My condolences to those who were close to and loved Kirstie. I did not like Kirstie because of her brash vitriol against those who tried to speak the truth about scientology. She could have made a difference in saving lives; she might have even made a difference in saving my family or even saving herself.
I really dislike her for the way she treated the mother of the son that Kirstie bought the motorcycle for (or was it Lilly who really gave it to him). After he was killed on that motorcycle, his mother was blamed by Kirstie as the "terminal" that he was PTS to. So F ing sad.
I'm sorry to not be a bit kinder in my eulogy. But...
This is what scientology technology does to people. It kills.
There are statements from ex-victims of the mind-fuck perpetrated by the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology that they were instructed to stop taking prescription medication. I’m thinking of Tory Magic and epilepsy medication. Stopping anti-seizure medication can have serious consequences, and luckily Tory’s mum was there for her.
We don’t know how many did as demanded and stopped medication and we don’t know what the consequences were. Not a problem only for the victims of the Co$, but always a serious one.
Omg I didn't realize they conflate epilepsy and mental illness. I shouldn't be surprised, so much of society at large still does it, and it always pops up in horribly egregious ways throughout the legal system. 🤦♀️ Neurology =/= psychiatry. Epilepsy caused me to lose a pregnancy. Depression/anxiety never did.
Kristie Ally was a very good acting talent. I don't think that $cientology really helped her with her career, but I am but a bodacious bovine. Kristie was a very well know actor, but not A list at all. She seldom 'preached' her 'religion' but she wasn't shy about defending it either. I hope she found peace at the end and that her family and friends are comforted.
Tony, keep remembering the 5th of December, Dave Miscavige must never get a pass on what he and his 'religion' did.
'Although Scientologists don't believe in prayers, my prayers go out to her': Leah Remini issues terse tribute to Kirstie Alley amid their decades-long feud over controversial Hollywood religion
Remini, who publicly left Scientology in 2013, had clashed with Alley for many years about her continued commitment to the organization
Despite their feud, Remini said she does not take any pleasure in Alley's passing and offered prayers to Alley's children
Alley's close relationship with her Dancing with the Stars partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, was damaged when he became close with Remini in 2014
Alley died Monday after a brief battle with colon cancer, she was one of the Church of Scientology's best-known celebrity members

Renata's farewell is as classy as she is.
I love the differentiation that she remained a close friend despite the church pushing Kirstie away.
It's valuable to remember who is pushing whom away.
Yes, well said :)
