There’s a show called “Leah Remini: Scientology and the aftermath” and it’s mind boggling how this “church” works…
so good and scary, its on Hulu now since netflix took it off
I've watched every episode, and I feel I a rabbit hole on this topic for a little bit. I don't like any religion, but Scientology takes the cake!
She also has gone on Joe Rogan!!
Aaron (the guy with the only suppressive dog lol) has a youtube channel called Growing up in Scientology. It's super interesting the content he posts
Really amazing show
Fight, flight, freeze, or… fawn. “Fawn” is trying to placate or appease the other person to deescalate the situation or reduce the chance of getting hurt. It’s finally getting more attention as a trauma response and seems applicable to many SA cases.
Tbh, even if you haven’t heard of “fawn” before, you probably already have an idea of what that might look like. We recognize, “okay, I’ll do X, please don’t hurt me,” well enough as a response to a threat that it’s practically a trope in pop culture. It’s just that in real life, we don’t always say the, “please don’t hurt me,” part out loud.
Funny, that sounds like the same responses people have to a bad boss!
Freeze pretty much encompasses all of that.
thank you for posting this.. if i didn't find FAWN in the comments i was going to add it!
@@lemonz1769 not exactly. Freeze is a shut down (often not able to talk or move), where fawn can still look functional on the outside. Both are survival strategies.
@@lemonz1769 No, it doesn't. Freezing is exactly that. Doing nothing. Fawn/appease looks like going out of your way to please them. From the outside it can look like you're actually consenting, but your "consent" has been coerced.
Once I took a Meyer Briggs personality test and then it asked for my email to send me the results... suddenly the freaking Scientology church was calling me and emailing me trying to make me pay thousands for courses... This is in Norway, the Norwegian section of the "church". Had to block them and all their freaking numbers and emails...
That wasn't the Meyer Briggs test which has nothing to do with Scientology. The test you took is called the "Oxford Capacity Analysis", and yes it has nothing to do with Oxford university, Scientology just threw that in to make it appear to be legit.
@@d.-_-.b yes I know this now, but I was like just learning about these damn letters and wanted to find out what mine were so just googled personality letters test or something 😂. Now I know it's called meyer briggs
As a side note, the MBTI test is also largely bunk science. It was created by two mystery novelists who had no significant formal education in medicine of any kind. If you want a real personality test that psychologists generally recognize as legitimate, you want The Big 5. MBTI is the new-age, scienced-up version of astrology; it can be a fun little thing to participate in once in a while, but putting too much stock in it is unhealthy and irrational.
FS And F DM
@KrisHe1 Did they tell you your M-B type? LoL
I am a man, I was raped and I realized what happened a while after the fact.... Freezing is for sure a response that I tend to fall into.
I am so sorry, bro, but for you to go through something That horrible, and still be able to carry on and talk about it. That's amazing, you're incredible.
I am so sorry that you had to endure rape. But I am so happy that you are alive and are able to state what happened to you. You did what you had to do to survive.
You should have a period after the word “man”. That’s a complete sentence.
@@breezywriter6572 your point is what exactly? Is it not understandable? Where did you get the idea that English is my first language or that I care about writing correct English? :-)
I don't care about writing correct: Danish, English or Chinese. I care about being understood. 你懂了吗？
I see you. I'm so sorry that happened. I froze when I was SA'd too. For me, it was like I was outside my body screaming at myself to do something but I couldn't. It wasn't your fault hon. ❤️
Elizabeth Moss was also raised in the church. And like you, I was CRUSHED when I found out she was a member 😕
Almost every celebrity is in this cult.
One of the first things you learn in Scientology is the Training Routines. The one called Bullbaiting puts you in a chair facing another person. You must keep a straight face for 2 hours straight, not even a twitch, or you are Flunked and you have to start all over. The other person is allowed to say the most horrendous, vile things, scream at you, even touch you, even though touching is supposed to be off limits, and you can't move at all. This goes on for hours, days, and weeks on end until you have no reaction to the trauma being thrown at you. This is just the beginning of the abuse. The true depravity and abuse runs deep.
Glad you covered this. It's sad and amazing what you can get away with, by manipulating our judicial system.
I have been watching this story closely since 2021 with the preliminary hearings, and I cannot believe charges were filed, because of the known facts of this case: How about the fact that Jane Doe 3 invited Masterson over to her place MONTHS after they broke up, and months after the alleged SA, and had consensual sex with him? How about the fact that Jane Doe 3 moved to New York months after that, and invited Masterson out to meet her New Friends, then went back to his hotel room and had consensual sex again? WOULD ANY SA VICTIM EVER DO THAT? Of course not. How about how one of the other accusers NEVER MENTIONED a gun in any story or report, then suddenly mentions it after a different accuser said he had a gun? Look: He may be found guilty, because he should have had a Female Attorney cross examine these accusers, but Masterson is Not Guilty. By the way: I went to a Catholic Grade School and a Catholic High School, and I know nothing about Scientology.
@@wildmercuryfilms I was sexually abused by my uncle when I was 5 or 6 years old … I never told my mother til I was a teenager. She was surprised by said my uncle always been a little “crazy” … sometime later even this uncle acknowledged in front of another of my uncles and cousins how He Taught Me How to jerk off !!! Everyone thought it was funny … this was during the early 90s. I never reported my uncle to the police … I know several male friends that had similar stories from their own relatives. Nevertheless I grew up around my uncle , been to his house to visit him and his family.
This dude is spamming the fuck out of every video that has to do with this topic. I feel like Scientology allegedly, is at play or someone is very very into that 70s show and can't deal with this. Allegedly allegedly allegedly.
@@kelleybeen517. Ha. I have never even watched one full episode of That ‘70’s Show. Better Call Saul is more up my alley. Also: I was born and raised Catholic and know very little about Scientology: All that I’ve learned about it was through this trial. It seems like a pretty whacked out religion, but they all are, essentially.
@@wildmercuryfilms You really should educate yourself on how victims respond.
To add to the fear responses, there is a 4th known as Fawn, where people basically try to console and bargain and flatter the person threatening them in order to avoid harm. Think like when a dog gets in trouble, and you catch them, and they roll over for belly rubs. This in no way changes the fact that rape is still rape. "Agreeing" under duress is not really agreeing.
I often think of the fawn reaction as the victim in an abusive relationship, the hyper alertness where they are constantly on edge regarding the abusers state of mind, continuously trying to read their body language and attend to their needs to avoid some kind of blow up.
Exactly, you're not in a position to disagree
💯
That seems like a convenient excuse for people not being truthful, almost as if we live in a society where consent can be revoked 20 years later, o wait!
Likening yourself to a dog?
The scary thing about this kind of stuff is remembering the fact that so many people can seem so cool and nice on the surface but have this evil side on the inside.

@@wildmercuryfilms thank you for proving you have no idea how sa victims feel. I worked with my rapist for another 2 months, and acted like nothing happened. It took years before I admitted to myself what happened. Even though I was clearly drugged and said no repeatedly while crying. He saw me later and hugged me like we were close. I froze. I smiled. I acted like everything was cool and then had a panic attack in the bathroom. Him acting so casually made feel like I was crazy. And I didn't have an organization willing to destroy my life backing him up.
@@heartdragon2386
i recognize
this _wild mercury films_ commenter from other videos where their comments are likely deleted becuz they are Scifientology/Masterson puppetrated.
Pretty much everyone.
@@heartdragon2386 Notice how you didn’t respond to his point that she went back to him. Did you want to have relations with your assaulter afterwards? You are describing two different things
There's also other options. The full spectrum is fight, flight, freeze, appease/fawn or faint.
Dr. Kirk Honda of psychology in Seattle has explained it all many times in his videos and podcast. It's quite enlightening to learn that there are more options, and they are all valid, and none of them mean that you agreed to what was happening.
I came here to say the same thing! Love Dr. Honda's content! He's so good at educating without belittling.
Don't forget film, although I guess that's more of a spectator thing.
Feign not faint
@@4Mr.Crowley2 no, it's actually faint. Think of the fainting goats. It's a fear response.
I always like fight, flight, freeze, or flow.
For clarification at 14:00, the names listed were a "wish list." Walt Disney was not affiliated with Scientology.
yes! sorry if that wasn't clear
I've read books and done very deep dives into Scientology, and there's a lot there that really needs to be known to the public. One note I want to make is when someone is labeled a SP, they are deemed evil to Scientology... But most importantly to any family (including children, which are typically handed over to the cult to be raised "communally" by specific caretakers anyways) and friends still in the cult. The SP label ruins entire lives and any ties to humanity a person might have before. Anything can mark you a SP if Scientology deems you a threat. They will also call workplaces, housing, neighbors, ANYONE that you try to associate with to continue to bring you down to make sure you never speak up against them. There are entire units who control private detectives dedicated only to this, 24/7. That is what scares people. Scientology has a LOT of money due to their tax exemption as a "church" by the IRS (which is rooted in scandal and blackmail typical of this cult), and they continue to make their members pay for newer and newer buildings to put their money into assets to continue their "church" lie that they're giving back to the community. Most, if not all, of those massive, luxurious buildings are nearly empty. Scientology doesn't want you do know that they have so few members. But the few that they have are very powerful. FUCK David Miscavige.
If you want more info, Mike Rinder's "A Billion Years: My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology" just came out this last September and it's a very powerful book detailing the surreal and horrifying life of Mike Rinder who was on one of those units that was in charge of ruining people's lives. Scientology's original founder has a rule that they still follow: Never defend, always attack. And they attack hard.
Also check out "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath" Mike does with good friend and post-scientology actor Leah Remini, or just read about The Hole & Lisa McPherson. The entire story is so gripping and there are so many brave people that deserve to have their story honored and the bullying and criminal acts of the organization need to end!! 🖕🖕🖕 Thank you so much for making this video, even out of fear of this cult! The world needs to show they they can't be bullied into silence while people suffer because of David Miscavige and the evil people he protects.
I watched some of the Leah Rimini series - it is SO INSANE. It's honestly so sad and terrifying - and yes, FUCK David Miscavige.
If you haven’t check out the channel growing up in Scientology - Aaron smith-levin who was in the first season of aftermath answers some questions and also interviews people who grew up in Scientology and escaped about their stories.
Going Clear on HBO is another good one.
@@angeliccow The call who calls himself, "Aryan Aaron"?
@@COVID...19 yes he used some comedy sketch as his intro that has a teacher calling Aaron Ay Ay Ron
Don’t worried about getting sued. Scientology wants to shield Dave Mscaviage from lawsuits. If they start a lawsuit then you can subpoena all the things
I was groomed at the age of 14 and was in an abusive relationship with that person for 7 years. Throughout that time I was raped. Didn't understand that it was and it took me a long time to understand why I was reacting the way I was when I left him. Severe PTSD symptoms. It took a therapist to explain I was raped and that you can in fact be raped my a partner in a relationship.
I'm so sorry this happened. This is my worst nightmare as a father.
let me guess ur a white female
You just changed what you decided you liked based on your current opinion
@@xESPplayer500xwhat does that mean? I mean what does it have to do with her comment?
@@xESPplayer500x Yeah. Because she didn't know right from wrong, and the older guy manipulated her. She didn't know what a healthy sexual relationship is like, what rape is, etc.
Who knew learning the definitions of assualt and rape after being victimized can change your view about it, after your rapists has been emotionally abusing you for years
Also just the fact that SA is so traumatic, the brain can try to convince you that it wasn't assault as a form of protection.
Double whammy if that person has been raised to normalize violent and abusive behavior.
Even watching this I caught myself feeling stupid for not thinking it was assault when it was I was 13 I said nothing to this day no one knew thank you for acknowledging freezing because I definitely did 😔
I’m 29 now for context
Not stupid, just a child. Hope its alright.
I feel so sad because I really did love That's 70's Show and now I can NEVER watch that show again 😢
Drop it there is Demi Lovato's abuser on it too
No regrets
Justice has now been served! 30 yes to life!! 🎉
I am still so surprised the jury is even deadlocked on this thing. For anyone interested that doesn't know much about Scientology, there is a special episode of Leah Remini's Aftermath show where they talk about how widespread and common assault cases are in the church and one of Masterson's former girlfriends speaks during it (it may have been more than one, it's been a while since I watched it). They go over the other ways the church suppresses those types of things from being reported. Masterson's case is pretty interesting and the victims' testimonies even more compelling when you see all the ways they really nip things like that in the bud before someone ever says anything inflammatory. For someone to have multiple, known, accusations is not common at all.
I have been watching this story closely since 2021 with the preliminary hearings, and I cannot believe charges were filed, because of the known facts of this case: How about the fact that Jane Doe 3 invited Masterson over to her place MONTHS after they broke up, and months after the alleged SA, and had consensual sex with him?

Agreed….these women sound a little off to me…one of the women was with him for 6 years…
@@wildmercuryfilms perhaps learning more about Scientology will answer some of your questions.
In the Leah Remini series which was made a while ago they said they estimate that there are only about 30K scientologists world wide. I would imagine that would be smaller by now given the fact that as that dismissed juror noted, "I've never read a positive article about that organization." Great video, Leeja. I love your dress in this episode!
Oh thank god, that’s really reassuring to read. It means that despite having their claws into some of the most visible people in Hollywood, it sucks at *actually* recruiting us plebs, and the only reason it still exists is because of the patronage of this minority of rich assholes
The negative articles are written by outsiders and people who have left. Scientologists aren't allowed to read them - they're prohibited from looking at that stuff and can be punished for doing so.
great documentary
I was assaulted as a teen, but as you say it took me years to realise that's what it was or even to admit it happened
Same, I’m 35 and can only now see those incidents for what they were.
@@penny3427
You might be a lunatic.
But the accused are not teenagers they are full on adults that’s why it’s hard for me to believe them when they have been sitting with this for 20 years
But then on the other hand he’s said some really out of place in that interview with Mila and the weird stuff with the Scientology which makes me think he’s at the very least weird
There's also a fantastic podcast series called The Last Podcast On The Left, where they do a longer multi-episode series on scientology and L Ron Hubbard. I highly recommend this series to anyone who has questions or curiosity about scientology and its origins
Thank you for covering this! Both the trial and the history of the org.
If you’re into podcasts Behind the Bastards has several well researched deep dives into L Ron Hubbard. He’s honestly even weirder than you think. Highly recommend the episode on the boat situation which I believe is part three in their original series on him, but all of their episodes on him are good.
Last Pod on the Left does too. I know their presentation isn't everyone's cup of tea but Marcus Park's research skills are unmatched.
Thanks for covering this topic.
I don’t normally comment but tonight I’m feeling a little more outgoing I guess. I wanted to say that I have noticed your growth over the last year or so and I love to see it. I was in class the other day, my social media strategic class, I mentioned your name because you followed so many of the classic procedures and it was awesome. My teacher said you were a perfect example of how you can start to build a brand new successfully. And I love being one of your fans to. It’s so awesome when you come online and post a video whether it be a live stream or something like that. Even a tik tok is cool.

@@wildmercuryfilmsare you Danny Masterson in disguise?
He was found guilty of two counts of rape and will face up to 30 years in a state prison.

Great now go after David miscavige Scientology,
How did you know 👏
Crazy, zero proof besides 3 females that were supposedly drugged but can remember what happened 20 years ago 😂 that whole jury should be convicted to the same sentence. Just sad
@@dkdiggz30 years is the maximum amount he could have received
INCOMING COMPLIMENT: Been watching a few videos now and I love your format. The way you bob and weave your own personality through your humor and intertwine anecdotal experience, commentary on what you’re reporting on, and coming in with great opinions and stories is captivating. You’re like the really cool friend who is a PROFESSIONAL but didn’t fully grow up either. ❤
Thank you for speaking on this topic so openly. Loved this
I grew up with my parents being in scientology, my brother and I were members too since we were little, I was physically and mentally abused by my mother, for many years, people in the church knew about it, grown af adults knew and instead of taking it to the police, cps etc, they would just talk to her about how what she was doing was not "ethical"
So infuriating that no one did anything
Children who grew up in Scientology will be doomed to become Scientologists. They had no choice to run away until they get older and strong willed.
At least they didn't pull a Christianity and say they're just sick and need help
@@JaceDeanLove That sounds logical. Physically and mentally abusive people are sick and need help. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
Been binging your stuff and came across this one this morning as we got the news Danny got convicted on 2 counts. Weird timing, good content!
Surprised you didn't mention Lisa Mcpherson in your list of casualties. An especially tragic case
That one is so disturbing, especially since no one faced any legal repercussions.
Yes, please tell about Lisa McPhearson. Her story shouldn't every be forgotten.
I just ‘love’ how ‘unbiased’ this woman is……
innocent man got sentenced to life. thats what happened. women don't care, they hate their male counterpart citizens.
This was a very good recap of so many things in a short period of time.. I’m impressed how thorough this was. Great job So SP is if they speak out on a group that tries to betterment? Well Scientology is not doing anything for the betterment of anyone or anything. As far as Danny Masterson if he gets away with this after the jury has so many of the facts and also the reasons why this has taken so long I won’t understand
hi leeja! i love your videos so im super glad youre growing and speaking on more current topics! i wanted to point out the fact that, while maybe you did not need this info in this video necessarily, the trigger responses are not three, but four: fight and flight (the two commonly known ones), freeze (the one you mentioned here) and fawn, which is when victim respond by trying to please the abuser or bargain with them or pleading. this last trauma response is extremely frequent in victim of repeated and prolonged abuse but it can present in anyone else just the same. i wanted to add this info because for some reason people only mention fight or flight or at most they add freeze, but rarely mention fawn except when its medical professional or other people who speak about mental illnesses, trauma and/or abuse and it is extremely important for people to know that this is one of the trauma responses and it is not uncommon nor less valid then any other. something else that can happen during traumatic events is also something called dissociation, a state the mind goes into to try to escape from what’s happening in the physical world, during which the person can have a vague awareness of what’s happening or it can be completely unaware, depending on many factors such as a propension to dissociation or history of trauma. this is something that people can also completely forget happening (both the dissociation itself and/or the events) and a lot of people are often never able to remember anything of. i hope this comment isn’t taken badly, cause i just think it’s something too important to not mention, regardless of how much i appreciate your content
CASE UPDATE: He got 30 to life!!! WOO HOO!!!
Really appreciated bringing up the freeze part as someone who's been sexually abused (and tortured) as a kid-where it happened to me, and also seen it happen to several people during combative encounters. Unfortunately you can learn what it's like for people to go through trauma, but just like with combat, it's damn-near impossible to understand fully when having experienced things like rape, shootings, torture, brainwashing, all that fun stuff.
I’m really loving these videos recently. I’d be interested for you to talk about the case that happened with the woman who lied about her pregnancy and the attacked another pregnant woman and took her baby out of her and was later sentenced to death. I know it’s a very tough case and a hard subject ((I’m pregnant and have two little ones so the gravity of the case is not lost on me) however, I think it would be an excellent opportunity to talk about mental health as well as the death penalty because the defense team took an interesting stance in the case and did a kind of “this isn’t her fault because the system failed her and it’s the system who is to blame”. I think there is a lot of room to talk about exactly what that “system” entails and areas we need reform as well as the death penalty needing reform etc. plus the case itself is interesting and it’s not an isolated incident. This has happened before. Maybe even touch on the subject of why this has happened so many times before and since this case. What is it in our society that is making woman so desperate and feeling like they must produce a child that they are willing to kill and take someone else’s? Or even is this a society issue or a mental health issue or both? Etc
Sorry if it’s a dumb suggestion but it was just a thought. Always love hearing your perspective. Can’t wait for Monday’s Live to see the new Hairdo!!
Never apologize for your ideas! I think it’s a great one, and you know if you have it, there’s always others who are interested too!
I think I might know which case you are referring to and Leeja actually did a reaction video to Bailey Sarian’s video on that case, providing a legal perspective.
@@Nikki-mx5my I think that was a different case but I’ll have to double check to make sure. You might be right!

Agreed. Hubbard would lie about anything to make himself look better. There's no evidence for most of his claims besides Scientology's propaganda machine. And Miscavage was one of Hubbard's weird messenger kids, so he learned to lie from the best.
@@Lhene9 For sure!!!!! All so sad really :(
There is absolutely no military records of Hubbard being in military intelligence. Just another lie by Hubbard.
The quickness I clicked this video. I hope Xenu throws Danny Masterson back in the volcano. The Channel Growing Up in Scientology has been covering this really well
I'm so sorry about what happened to you. Thank you for making this video, it's such a needed conversation! The way the legal system deals with assaults like this is terrible, and biases are still very present. This case and the Kavanaugh inquiry highlight this strongly. Similar to your experience, I was SA'd, and it took me months to realise what happened. Luckily, the police officers and detectives who handled my case believed me, but the legal system absolutely failed me. It was a "he said, she said" thing, and they brought up that I'd waited a few months to report the attack, so it couldn't have been "that bad", I didn't "fight back" and that I was the one who'd taken him home in the first place. They said that it would "ruin his life" without any respect for how it ruined mine.
I have been watching this story closely since 2021 with the preliminary hearings, and I cannot believe charges were filed, because of the known facts of this case: How about the fact that Jane Doe 3 invited Masterson over to her place MONTHS after they broke up, and months after the alleged SA, and had consensual sex with him? How about the fact that Jane Doe 3 moved to New York months after that, and invited Masterson out to meet her New Friends, then went back to his hotel room and had consensual sex again? WOULD ANY SA VICTIM EVER DO THAT? Of course not. How about how one of the other accusers NEVER MENTIONED a gun in any story or report, then suddenly mentions it after a different accuser said he had a gun? Look: He may be found guilty, because he should have had a Female Attorney cross examine these accusers, but Masterson is Not Guilty. By the way: I went to a Catholic Grade School and a Catholic High School, and I know nothing about Scientology.

@@wildmercuryfilms You don't know until it happens to you what you would do or how you would act. And yes, you do know nothing about Scientology.
I think fault lies with Scientology as they clearly never told Danny he was wrong. They value his celebrity more than the women’s lives. I would give Danny 10-20 with a possibility of parole and hopefully he can get his mind out of the cult
Women who speak up know that there are going to be negative consequences. No one traumatized wants to take any actions that would make their pain worse. This is why it is so important to believe people when they open up about this kind of stuff. Because there will always be people who ask them if maybe there wasn't something they did to contribute to their abuse. Nobody "asks" to be abused, but after the fact, protecting what's LEFT from harm from insensitive others is SURVIVAL.
So when I unpack this I come to the conclusion "women are selfish" -- if someone rapes you and you don't stop them from doing this to the next person, THAT'S NOT OK. Maybe its OK for a child, not an adult. Once someone gets away with a single rape, what happens next? That makes YOU an enabler.
@jceddy1 holy shit dude! You need to unpack what you just said. Basically, you just blamed the victim for either being scared or repressing the trauma. You are victim blaming and absolutely gross!
We do have very vindictive women
------ pro life groups and they are involved shunnings
They don't blame the women -- they blame the driver and male
The women don't take responsibility
--
The cult church's ---- pick scapegoats ---
Because they don't forgive - so in order to keep the women who chooses abortion ---
They gang up -- to shun the driver - or male ----
This looks like his girlfriend had abortion
Claimed she raped ------
Then Jane doe pro life one goes to his house
Then Jane doe 2 ---
All claiming to be drugged and raped --
With no pd report or hospital report claiming the church told them not to report
Cause these women were pro life shunning ------------
@@jceddy1 You are entitled to your grossly wrong interpretation of what I said from my own trauma experience. You are not, however, entitled to unpack your stuff as an excuse to reach into my, or anyone else's life, whom you do not know, nor have legitimacy to touch, influence, or DO in any WAY FROM the safety of your keyboard. GROUND RULES.
@@hunterwallace9551
Oh haha, "silence is violence" doesn't work here?
My issue is society gives women a pass on this, and then every abuser notches multiple or dozens of victims. Trauma is not an excuse for enabling serial ra@pist, it's not even a gray area. Just like if I witness a child sexual assault and I do nothing about it, yeah dude, there's blood on my hands if I let it continue when I could have stopped it.
"Victim blaming" would be more like "because of the dress you wore you deserved this", taking responsibility for your duty to society is not at all the same thing. Stop with the cliches.
Nobody asks to be abused, also nobody asks to a have gun held to thier head and robbed or their car stolen. If everyone's answer is "it's to traumatic" to report, society quickly collapses, you can see this in most major cities/hoods these days with the "snitches get stitches" way of live. It doesn't have a good outcome.
These people behave like people do not have much free will- like any cult.

@@wildmercuryfilms buddy you are spamming the replies with your nonsense. SA survivors do things that don’t make sense sometimes. Cope.
@@wildmercuryfilms your education history proves you didn’t grow up in Scientology but that you did grow up making excuses for rapists.
Great video. Looks like this needs an update now, though ;)
Last time I was assaulted, I had to call my therapist to know if it was assault. She pointed out that every step of the way I repeatedly told him no and said that I wasn’t ready. I even moved his hands and repeated where I told him I didn’t want to be touched, something I’d made clear before we’d started making out. And I still wasn’t sure if I was assaulted or if I’d somehow been asking for it or wanted it somehow. Afterwards, he told me that the only reason I didn’t enjoy it was because I didn’t let myself. And I was going to be alone because I’m cynical.
I also had a friend who was raped several times by her husband and had no idea until I pointed it out.
Even when it’s clear on the outside, it’s not on the inside. I’m sure that if you’d asked him, he would tell you that everything was consensual I just took some convincing because I’m cynical. The Me too movement is about learning what consent is.
you should have that therapist reported, have your friend rescued and her husband arrested.
My therapist didn’t do anything wrong, she helped me to figure out what happened and that it wasn’t consensual.
As for my friend, she only told me this after taking the first steps in a divorce. They’ve been in litigation for 4-years already because they have a child together and she’s doing better now and will never give up fighting for her daughter.
Sexual Assault usually isn’t black and white. Charges are extremely hard to get and even harder to win. The offender will claim that it was consensual and the victim will have to testify to a lawyer that’s going to imply that they are promiscuous and wanted it. The ME TOO movement was about learning consent because it wasn’t always clear to both parties.
@@Cami-fq9dc your therapist told you "Afterwards, he told me that the only reason I didn’t enjoy it was because I didn’t let myself. And I was going to be alone because I’m cynical." That is such a obscene statement and not appropriate whatsoever. I am pretty sure the psychological institution of your country would declare it as a violation, although complete ban is a very very rare thing. But still at the least, you should have them face the consequences for their horrible statement and then change therapists. Although good for your friend.
@@lostblueboy Oh! Sorry, I misunderstood. The guy that assaulted me said that, not the therapist.
'I’m sure that if you’d asked him, he would tell you that everything was consensual I just took some convincing because I’m cynical.' - you should ask him to send you what he said in a text message. If he really believed that was consent then he must be a serial rapist. Part of sexual assault/rape is gas-lighting & manipulation (during and after).
Rapists know what consent is, they're selective with who and when they rape. They're predators so they pick up insecurity and passivity and they pick up on trauma (child abuse victims are are much more likely to be raped). This is why MeToo has been almost completely ineffective in preventing rape (rape rates have gone up since it).
I don't really understand why non discourse agreements are legal/enforceable when it's about a crime being committed.
The best way to explain the "freeze" part in fight, flight, or freeze: when a deer stops in the middle of the road, it is not consensually getting hit by a car. It is standing completely still bc it thinks a predator has their eyes on it. If it stays completely still, the predator might just go away.... or they might hit the deer bc they are actually an oncoming car.

Well that's a disappointing ending. Not because of you Leeja, but because I was really hoping the jury would have a unanimous decision. I so wish this one would have been televised so I could see what kind of arguments were actually allowed in the trial.

They will never televise a criminal trial of this sort of case - there was a big deal made about how AH was the first “victim” of SA forced to testify publicly/on camera and that was because it wasn’t a criminal case.
Imagine being on of these victims having to recount your worst moments to the entire world. I can see why they don’t televise these trials.
@@wildmercuryfilms ok - so you are wrong 100% on what an SA victim would and would not do.
@@angeliccow You are incorrect. I was Falsely Accused, and it took 3 Full Years before my name was fully cleared. The woman who Falsely Accused me had dated me on and off for 4 years. Her False Accusation was that I had actually stalked her that entire time. The False Accusations INSTANTLY STOPPED when my attorney sent the evidence that everything she was saying was a lie to the President of the Most Prestigious Medical School in the United States, which is located on the East Coast. He sent it there because this woman had completed an internship there, and her sister is a professor and researcher there. The evidence were phone records of hundreds of calls she’d made to my phone over the course of 4 years, loving emails she’d sent me over the course of 4 years, beautiful hand-written letters she’d mailed to me, which included poetry she’d written to me, as well as the existence of a naked photo she’d texted me that I never requested. She texted me that photo when she was 26. After the President of that University received all that evidence, every single Accusation she’d ever made suddenly was dropped and she erased all traces of the accusations. So, yes, I know EXACTLY how it works.
@@wildmercuryfilms I’m assuming you are not a psychologist and obviously have a confirmation bias here. I am very sorry that happened to you and rest assured I am not someone who chants believe all women, and I have been this way since before the depp trial. I do fully accept that there are plenty of women who will make false allegations for any variety of reasons knowing that the propensity of our society is to believe them, it will ruin the person they accuse and even when vindicated that person will always carry the stigma of that accusation. There is however no one way that a “real victim” acts. Think of all the people (women and men) who stay in very abusive relationships and all the reasons they do so.
In this case you do also have to include the issue of cult mentality. You mention you know nothing of Scientology - so let me ask you how your experience would change if your trusted religious organization taught you that the false accusation was YOUR fault, that you did something (even in a past life) that meant you deserved to be falsely accused, have your name and reputation dragged through the mud and due to years or even a lifetime of conditioning YOU BELIEVED THEM. How would your reaction change if you knew that if you rocked the boat you would be excommunicated, your family would disconnect from you, you would be sent to the world with nothing - no education, qualifications, work history. Look into Scientology - even those who left don’t act “normal” they don’t react “normally”. Think of it in another way - fundamentalist Mormon polygamists - how would someone assaulted in the FDA react? What would be normal behaviour for them. Culture is so important to how a person will react to various stimuli, what they will accept and what they won’t.
I am not making any statement to the guilt or innocence of masterson. I’m not on the jury and I have not heard the evidence in any non bias way. All I am saying is the actions you describe as being 100% not how an assault victim would act is incorrect. There is a lot of context required to decide if it is or is not. In your case you have all that context because you lived it. In this case we do not have that context to be able to say what behaviour is and is not “Normal”.
I am glad you were able to unwind the allegations lodged against you and feel strongly that false allegations should be prosecuted (not “not guilty” which simply means there is reasonable doubt or that no one can be sure one way or another but actually false beyond a reasonable doubt where evidence proves innocence). We do also need to change the dialogue from believe all women/victims to respect all allegations and investigate to the fullest conclusion. Innocent until proven guilty needs to underpin any fair justice system and as there has been no verdict in this case I can offer opinion but masterson has to remain not guilty until found otherwise by a jury. Obviously given the deadlock there is more than what we have been reported at play but it is blind to unequivocally state how a true victim would or would not act.
Our society conditions everybody to believe everything that happens to them is their fault. It’s part of the myth of meritocracy.
12:13 - I just want to say: this isn't limited to the 1940's, or any past timeframe. It's still very much true. I mean, just look at Q or whatever. People just make shit up. It's just a question of how many people end up believing it, and the only thing relevant about it being in the past is that we have the benefit of hindsight to see how much influence a particular thing had.

@@wildmercuryfilms I know you had an awful experience but the odds of FIVE separate women falsely accusating someone is minute. Your argument about a woman seeing him again after the SA means nothing. Just look at any abusive relationship with an SA element. It is not uncommon for victims to go back in one way or another. Maybe instead of commenting the same things over and over you should read a bit more of other people's experiences & explanations.
You need to listen to victims/survivors. Plenty of them are trying to explain this to you, myself included. They have a better understanding of the behavior that clearly doesn't make sense to you. And it is incredibly complex and I understand why a lot of it doesn't make sense from the outside. But just because something seems (or just is) irrational and/or illogical does not make it untrue. You're letting your experience cloud your entire judgment and viewpoint.
@@wildmercuryfilms Shorter answer: YES, victims very often go back to their abuser whether they're in an official relationship with them or not. It's a coping mechanism. It's an attempt to right a wrong by trying to replace the assault with an experience they're in control of.
Doesn’t the fawn/freeze amendment to fight or flight actually disabuse people of their agency? So a consensual encounter can be perceived as rape even thought the “victim” did not voice her reluctance because she was afraid? Sexual Assault is real and should never be tolerated but are we not making it easier to re-write these encounters to suit an after the fact narrative?
@@wildmercuryfilms I agree. The drugging allegations came much later, too (because otherwise the statute of limitations applies). There was an anti- Scientology TV show in production, and the host of that show has a personal vendetta with Masterson, and when producers started knocking on doors, that's when the allegations started. They were all involved with the television show, and compared stories even though the police told them not to. It's complicated because of Scientology being notoriously ruthless and unethical in the court room. Another thing that nobody gets, is (knowing a whole pack of Scientologists personally), those people are constantly reporting each other to church leaders as a form of procedural harassment when they have petty squabbles. They can cause you a LOT of grief that way with no repercussions. Something to think about. R*pe is hard to prove unless you leave the scene in an ambulance, and the witness statements here are highly suspect. I don't think there's enough here, but that's no guarantee that he won't be convicted. It'll be interesting to see what the jury thinks.
That first bit about dienetics, insofar as it was almost coherent, was also almost right, in that trauma often causes people to act against their own interests. Partial credit for that one almost coherent point.
I actually didn't know Danny M was in Scientology. I guess I really haven't been paying attention to the trial. I suppose it helps to explain why it's dragging on the way it is.
Whoa, Juliette Lewis has stopped her involvement with scientology in december 2021. It seems to parallel her career renaissance with Yellowjackets so good for her I guess

It's absolutely bonkers how some people can hear the Scientology pitch and then be like, "Yup, that sounds about right. Yes please." How do people get sucked in to something so outrageous? I just don't get it.
People are gullible sheep that's why !Also the Trump cult.
They're very good at Bait and Switch and often switch out their brand name with an alternative moniker.
I saw them set up at a flea market offering "free stress tests", with the exalted Emeter in use. Their doodad would light up and make funny noises, to which they'd chime in with "See that?! That's stress!!" and anyone who politely declined got a very accusing "What are you afraid of?!" (They love to accuse SPs of pedophilia.)
Not a single Co$ banner in sight but I knew who they were right away just by their spiel and borderline misconduct.
Some were brought into the cult as a small child(2-9 yrs old) and some were born into it.
Hubbard had to spend the last years of his life on the ocean to avoid being arrested by the FBI. That’s why there’s so much boat shit is Scientology.
This is a great breakdown of the situation. As far as Scientology goes, I highly recommend the book Cultish by Amanda Montell! She talks about many other cults but Scientology is a pretty major component of it
At the last census in Australia there were 1455 Scientologists
I entered a relationship with someone who had assaulted me. I was in denial, I had terrible self-worth, I was horribly isolated, and they were frequently so caring, so doting, showering me with affection, making me feel better after making me feel like less than dirt. I just wanted to feel BETTER, and like any unhealthy coping mechanism, they could do that for a few hours. It was a cycle that I got caught in. It doesn’t excuse or erase what they did.
I also realized YEARS later that what I’d labeled in my head as “giving up” And “letting it happen” was a natural freeze reaction because I was SCARED OUT OF MY MIND. I’d failed to escape, I couldn’t overpower them or convince them to stop. So my body just went limp. I needed to have a therapist tell me that was normal and I’d done nothing wrong.
That should not hold up in court though.
fight,flight, freeze & FAWN..please
People talk talk talk talk and make no point…hate youtube
I'm not scared to say it out loud. This is EXACTLY how the LDS church operates!! I cant speak for other religions though I distrust them all, but I can say with full and utter confidence that the LDS church covers up many SA crimes!
As someone who has not only been held up at gun point but also sexualy assaulted I can confirm the "freeze" response. No matter how you think you will react to a situation and go wild west style and shoot them..... that is all in your head until you live through it. There is nothing you can do to accurately simulate these situations prior 😒 and thus you don't know how you really will handle things until it happens. First experience was being held up at gun point while at work when I was a high school student. I was beyond unprepared despite other situations of violence I had face in the past. The sexual assault happened in college and at first I tried to fight back until I noticed their state of mind (or lack their of) knowing first hand this person had a past of being extremely violent while *blacked out* intoxicated ment my life was at risk if I fought back. This person had been found guilty of attempted murder in the past so in the end I eventually froze to protect my life in hopes less physically harm. Many people ask if I went to the cops..... do I look stupid 🤣? Seriously going to the cops in my area, state okay major of the country will result in only more trauma, zero justice and your reputation will be dragged through the mud. In short all hurt and no gain! Going to the cops is far more traumatizing than staying silent....slowly self healing. I am alarmed that this many women were willing to be dragged through that shit to come forward 😱 and that suggests that there are many more victims could be out there 🤨.
Very well put video 👌🏽
And here we are in June of 2023. And yeah… he’s guilty. In two of the three rape charges he was found guilty.

First : that look! I gasped!
Second : it's so aweful what these women went through, let's hope the court will see their testimony in a good light, go knows vicitim of assault aren't always taken seriously
On the freeze thing, if there is consent both people are active. If a person isn't moving stop. This needs to be taught in school.
Very informative and so entertaining, thank you.
Flight, Fight or Freeze are the 3 reactions to people have when being attacked or being Graped
Freeze isn’t a valid or viable strategy and it’s not equal to the Flight or Fight strategies
Freeze is almost always an involuntary response to fear
It’s often experienced with a sense of disbelief that something so horrible is happening. Some have even claimed to have out of body experiences during their tragic experience that caused them to freeze.
The host was only ever taught about Flight or Fight because those are the only two strategies that have a probability of survival
To teach people to freeze while being attacked would be irresponsible.
Also they are already considering the situation 'assault' or 'something horrible' in this situation. I can understand freezing after saying no or stop or fighting back, but if you're conscious and aware and in the middle of being physically intimate with someone it's weird to just stop communicating..
Finally a repoert/update from a mature well spoken adult. 👏
There's actually four trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn - where you try to manage the threat by people-pleasing and catering to their needs.
The fourth is not widely accepted since it's a social construct (humans) and can be integrated into the freeze reaction aka not appears as a threat
uh, so how is possible to differentiate between fawning and consenting? Or can fawning only be differentiated after the fact?
Sadly there's a lot of poor souls that are not "CLEAR" as to what slavery looks like, so they were put on a ship " called the SEA ORG" to make it clear to them who's really in charge 😢 sad but also 😁 true.
my fave ex-scientologist that covers scientology news is Aaron Smith-Levin in Clearwater. he actually ran for city council but scientology ran a smear campaign against him bc he's an ex-member, and bc they have such a grip on the city of Clearwater. he makes a lot of videos that dispel the myths that scientology creates about itself, like just how many members they actually have. he's also on the board of The Aftermath Foundation that helps members get out of scientology. i highly recommend his channel, Growing Up in Scientology!
I didn't know that he had his own channel and he's still making videos and speaking out!!! Good for him, thank you for the recommendation!
I enjoy his channel as well. Where's A-aron at?

So he didn't kidnap any of them, they all went to his house voluntarly for what? They liked him, wanted to go there for him, had sex with him, didn't the next day call police, waited years later, then decided to want money first, then have him locked up? This seems so wrong, he could do so much time for this.
stop pretending it doesn't make sense. you know for a fact that an innocent man is now serving life based on nothing more than accusation
Every video I’ve come across concerning this case spend majority of the time talking about Scientology. Can someone please tell me what actual physical evidence was used to confirm a conviction?
there is none. you don't get it. it's clearly a concerted effort to undermine the law. it's ALL about money. it's all about disregarding rights. it's all about lawyers having new ways to make money by treating women like children who can retroactively re-neg consent. interesting huh?
Have you done an update since the verdict where he was found guilty? Great interesting video and love your style 😊
I thought this video was going to be about the case. You didn’t cover hardly anything other than Scientology. I want to know what evidence was presented other than he said/ she said. That’s an awful long time to come fwd. wondering how much they’ll be seeking in the civil suit 🤔
Right?! And it took nearly 5 minutes just for her to actually get to the point and it wasn't even about Danny's crimes.
Jane Doe 2 didn't realize Danny's action was rape until her husband told her. The reason is that she was a long time scientologist and scientology teaches that there is no such thing as rape. If a woman is treated that way (raped) it is because she brought it on herself.
My mom has been rewatching That 70s Show for background noise, (yes she knows about Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama) and a lot of their jokes are super disgusting and didn't age well. Especially Fez's character. 🤢 Thank you for covering this. I'll show it to my mom later!
What is the issue with Wilmer?
