I really hope shes quit scientology. I love her shows/movies, but I can't deny she fell a couple of pegs on the respect scale when I found out shes a scientologist.
"Pegs" The weirdest thing is that you can notice the craziness in the way she acts. She smiles too much and laughs too much like Tom Cruz. It's not authentic. When she says "It's crazy right" It's like she's talking about Scientology here.
She is an actress and you don't know her personally. What the fuck does it matter what her religion is? So dumb. I enjoy her acting and that is really all I think about her.
The power of acting is about believing the story you see on the screen. Every dialogue, every actor´s smile or frown. Her scientology membership kinda decreses the viewer´s experience. It brings a lot of prejudice especially when it comes to the show that is trying to shed a light on these religious cults. I cant really believe her anymore on the screen.
I dont understand how she doesnt see the resemblance between scientology and Gilead... the whole secrecy, ranks, people watching and following you, or even the fact that being outspoken could get you reported to the organization's leaders... COME ON ELISABETH ITS SO SIMILAR
It takes time. Eventually she will. It may take 10 seasons. And even then, she won't be able to leave if she can't bear being permanently separated from her parents. As long as she's not trying to convert other people into Scientologists, I have no beef with her.
patphatcat what investigation did they do, show us proof, a non scientology type of proof to make what you say true, otherwise what you said is made up.
James Fitzgerald i don't have much time to do research on internet. I hope you know that all scientology organizations in America are tax - exempt. The IRS decides which organizations deserves to be tax - exempt. They have to prove that scientology orgs are non - profit, so all financial records were given to IRS in the 1990's. The IRS decided that no one person was getting all of the money. The money did not go to only a few people, but went right back into the organization. In cults, only one person or a few people at the top benefits. The IRS did not find this in scientology organizations. There are a few definitions for word, religion, in English. Because, sooner or later, scientologists understand for themselves that people are immortal spirits, it is considered a religion, sort of like Buddhism. Not interested in proving anything, you will have to find your own answers.
patphatcat So you make claims then won't back it up. Says something about people who try to defend the cult of Scientology. Oh and if Scientology was real, why do people die? According to scientologists they heal themselves and make themselves younger, so right there that logic proves anyone who is in Scientology including Hubbard are frauds. Plus scientologists believe Hubbard should have returned 10+ years ago, another lie.
After finding out she's a scientologist I just can't look at her the same way. from one of my favourite people and now she just looks idk off/sinister? idk how to explain it
I think she was born into a scientology family. You can't help who you're raised by. And it's very hard to break away from your parents' system of belief.
Just because she doesn't support her religion doesn't mean she can't support her as an actress. Like wtf? Chelsea has ALWAYS had people on her show that she hasn't 100% agreed with, that's what makes her great. She can have a civil conversation (and enjoy herself) with a person she has differences with. That's called being an adult.
yes it does, because it's SUPPOSED TO BE MORE IMPORTANT IN FACT THE MOST IMPORTANCE in our world, what and who that person IS and what they do as a person and what they are involved in as a person MORE THEN what they do for a living! and she IS only a actress after all.. not some cancer curing great humanitarian who just happens to be involved in a abusive insidiously evil destructive cult!...
MooTelevision I know- you think Chelsea / YOU ALL COMMENTING ON HERE - haven't had a nice convo with someone who's religion you don't agree with? Grow up, people
This isn't a simple matter of petty differences. Elizabeth is part of a totalitarian organization (falsely called a religion) that frequently abuses it's own members in numerous and horrific ways, harasses ex members and critics by stalking and intimidating them, and have even been involved in the mysterious deaths of several people. (Look up youtube videos about what happened to a woman named Lisa McPherson) It's especially important because not only has Chelsea spoken out about how terrible and disgusting Scientology is and what it does to people so she should be able to stick to her guns when talking with someone who is part of it, Elizabeth stars in a show about a cult that abuses and subjugates people. How are people supposed to take the message the show tries to convey seriously when it stars someone who is part of an organization that does just that? Scientology is not something to be passive about. It's hurting people and has been doing so for decades. There is plenty of evidence for it out there, all you have to do is take a look.
Xactly!! Ppl r pretending that if they start shunning Elizabeth's exceptional work on tv, scientology will cease to exist? Seriously? Its nt like she's popularising scientology or campaigning for it in tv.. She's just chosing one after the other great projects n doesn't even discuss abt her religion!! I mean i love hmt n her work in top of the lake, mad men etc.. N ppl vl watch it irrespective of her beliefs, which r sort of unclarified as she doesn't speak much in public abt it!
In terms of the irony of her being a scientologist, my guess is: there are so many strings attached that she couldn't just quit scientology in real life (being permanently separately from parents, etc). So producing and staring in this show is her rebellion (she is actually one of the producers). Maybe Moss IS June in real life, who wants to leave the organization but has to stay, who wants to tell the truth to the public but can not. June had to act cooperatively with Gilead in front of foreign ambassadors and national TV for suvival and she stayed in Gilead for her daughter. Maybe Moss has to stay being a scientologist for her family or for other reasons as well. I mean it's a wild guess, but I honestly can't think of another reason why she would want to work on the show given that she's a scientologist
How the hell is not relevant when there are so many parallels between the show´s story and scientology cult ? Its funny how she dodged any scientology question on her promo tour for the show which is about the resistance against the made-up religious bs orders. After finding out she is a scientologist, I cant watch the show anymore since it became unrelatable for me.
I'm an atheist, and to see two women with very opposing beliefs be seemingly good friends, and have complete respect for one another, is remarkable. To live in unity, instead of beat each other apart and shove our opinions down each others throat, is such a beautiful and rare thing to behold. Take note.
How do you live in harmony with a multibillion dollar cult that literally kidnaps and kills its members while going on a talk show promoting a dystopian drama about how women are being kidnapped and killed? It's hypocritical and wrong.
Milly Borkovic Yeah... are we going to all ignore the Holy Wars then, or... There are Christians (not to mention people from various other religions) everywhere committing horrific and unforgivable acts upon others in the name of their religion. It's a complete and utter joke that anyone here is pretending Scientology is any different, or even worse.
You are all attacking her for bringing a scientologist on the show, why is no one thinking that it could be a good thing for Moss? Leah Remini used to be like her and she turnt around. You can't judge her, she has been brainwashed, I hope this show is helpining her realise what she is into.
Yes thank you! It’s like everyone’s entitled to their religious beliefs except if you’re Muslim or a Scientologist. I’m not sure she’s even addressed it publicly other than when someone on her Instagram asked her why she was on the show when it’s just like Scientology. While it IS a cult they are nothing like each other I thought that was hilarious.
Amarina E. she brought Leah on to BASH Scientology it's obviously it the same thing here. Not that I care I find it ironic but I love the Handmaids tale
I personally think she' is one of the most beautiful, talented, proper and down-to-earth actress in the entire world. I sincerely admire and love her. She manages her religious believes the way they should be treated, and that makes me respect her much more... She´s there to talk about her work and herself, not about religion. Please, please, respect that; please take what she gives and love it, do not judge her; her work speaks for herself. Love you Moss.
You need to do just a little more research, Scientology isn't a religion, it's 100% a cult. It's actually banned in a number of countries because of how dangerous it is.
it's not about what she believes in and beliefs!.. it's what she is involved in as a organization and what they do and act out to it's own members, ex-members and anyone who is a critic that is the argument!...
I concur with all the negative comments about Scientology, but that's hardly reason enough not to have Elizabeth Moss on the show. But for Chelsea not to actually question her about Scientology in the context of a show about an oppressive cult is just plain gutless.
Honestly I've fallen in love with this show. She is lovely, and acts so good in the situations that her character goes through. For some reason this show resonates a lot with me. This thing about being opressed in many ways, by your economy, your goverment, or society. It's lovely. Her acting doesn't look forced. It's just natural. And her character becomes so depressed, she does a good job bringing that to the screen.
Its not good for the show publicity ? Some friends stopped watching it after they found out she was a scientologist. Its funny she used to speak publicly about scientology before but ever since Handmaid´s Tale she has either dodged any question about it or hasnt been asked at all.
Before Moss goes onto these talk shows they tell them not to bring up scientology. Which is so hypocritical of Moss who claims to be a feminist and yet is in such a cult that strips rights away from everyone. But she is not the only one who refuses questions asked.
James Fitzgerald scientology organization does not strip rights away. The fake news stories about scientology on UA-cam and television are there to get your attention, make people thousands of dollars, and to destroy scientology reputation. Some people are paid $ to lie. If people understood what scientology could do for the world, some greedy people would lose a lot of money. Pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot of money too. Most scientologists understand that intelligence has nothing to do with gender. Men and women are equals, except for their physical bodies. Most of the leaders of scientology organizations all over the world are women. The most highly trained scientologist at my organization is a woman.
James Fitzgerald she decided not to talk about scientology. It is a waste of time. Some people will twist your words, will think you are lieing, that you can't think for yourself. Many people already made up their minds about scientology so what is the point of answering questions. They do not want the truth, they just want to use something you said to attack you. If you want to know about scientology go take a free on - line course or get the book "what is Scientology?".
patphatcat of course it strips away rights as people. And yes it could do so much good but scientology doesn't care about anyone. If they had this much power, no one would ever get sick, die, no more malnutrition. Scientology is a lie and anyone with a brain knows this.
I'm surprised Elisabeth was allowed by Scientology to go on to a show who's host has criticized her religion up and down lately. Scientology labels all critics Suppressive Persons (SP's) and Chelsea could and would be labeled an SP, especially due to her being friends with Leah Remini who is currently trying to "take down" Scientology. I am actually surprised Chelsea practiced restraint and didn't put her on the spot with at least one Scientology question. Normally she is such a brash person and vomits uncomfortable questions.
LC T scientology does not label all critics "suppressive people". That is false. You MUST HAVE 12 SIGNS TO BE SUPPRESSIVE. IF YOU HAVE ALL 12, then you are a suppressive person. Being critical is not enough. LEah Remini admitted to a producer that she is being paid a lot of money to attack scientology. It is rare to kick someone out of the organization. She must have had all 12 signs.
patphatcat You are twisting Leah Remini word. Yes she is getting paid to talk negative (also the truth) about scientology, it is called a TV show. When you make TV shows you get paid to be on it. She didn't get kicked out, she left.
James Fitzgerald my understanding is that she had all 12 signs of a psychopath, someone who does not understand right and wrong. They seem normal and can be friendly and charming, but it is an act, and they have no conscience. Because of this, she was kicked out. She then started the t.v. show and told one of the producers that she was getting paid to attack scientology. I saw a short video and the producer himself said this. Also, when someone goes on her t.v. show, none of the lawyers on her show will verify if the person is speaking the truth or not, and Leah said it was because the lawyers all work for her. She was at a round table with other actors and actresses when she said this.
@@patphatkitten It's hard to take your accusations against Leah seriously when you yourself worked for Scientology (Read that in another comment of yours).
Her being a scientologist is actually extremely relevant. She is part of a totalitarian organization (falsely called a religion) that frequently abuses it's own members in numerous and horrific ways, harasses ex members and critics by stalking and intimidating them, and have even been involved in the mysterious deaths of several people. (Look up youtube videos about what happened to a woman named Lisa McPherson) This woman stars in a show about a cult that abuses and subjugates people. How are people supposed to take the message the show tries to convey seriously when it stars someone who is part of an organization that does just that? Scientology is not something to be passive about. It's hurting people and has been doing so for decades. There is plenty of evidence for it out there, all you have to do is take a look.
NO Chelsea!!! Her show is not the scariest thing on T.V. right now. The scariest show on television right now is Leah Remini's: Scientology and the Aftermath!!! And that thing on your show is one of those hideous people who believe in Xenu, alien Thetans. She's one of those sick cookies!! Ask her about it Chelsea. Or have Leah and Elizabeth at the same time!
I love them both. No point in bringing up their differences here when it's not the point of discussion. That's what you called professionalism, decency, and respect.
Years ago the first thing I was in was Christmas Carol, we started having this thing where my friends and I would come together and say 'duck hats unite!' and we'd bonk our bonnets together 😂
Read the book. Written in 1987. Atwood wrote about the rise of Gilead, “ at first we blamed it on the muslims.” Chilling considering the attitudes of many people today.🥺😷🇨🇦🇺🇸
Why do people care so much about her religious beliefs? She is allowed to believe whatever she wants and just because her beliefs go against yours does not mean we can bash her aboit it. She is a brilliant actress and is very good in her work and deserves all the recognition for it. I couldn't care less about her religious beliefs.
I'll read the book. SCIENTOLOGY ain't making a dime off me, neither is she! I refuse to watch ANYTHING that has a SCIENTOLOGIST in it! I wanted to see "Gotti", but not until Travolta quits the cult. Nope, not a dime! This cult must change, or be squashed.
It's honestly pretty funny reading these comments as an atheist. Because I feel the same way every time any public figure talks about their Christanity or Catholicism. To me, all these groups are just as insane as the other. A cult is any religion that isn't yours. Elizabeth is an amazing actress and deserves full respect regardless of what she believes.
Now that i know she's a scientologist I'm like... Mmmm i can't take her seriously when she's talking about how aweful a dystopian world would be... 🤔🤔🤔
A lot of very smart people are in Scientology. Elizabeth could be in a very high state of denial and choosing to keep the blinders on or she is very aware of the criminology, but wants to keep the personal benefits without guilt or pressure taking over. We don't actually know how she feels about her own personal beliefs bc she won't publicly share, however she may publicly share how she feels about the cult in which she performs in character. I'm sure she's seen parallels without others pointing them out. Good luck Liz! You may be torn and maybe you're waiting for the optimal time to leave scientology. Personally, it would be kinda cool to see you denounce it right there on Chelsea show!
The headdresses are quite Quakerish and also similar to those worn by women in some parts of Europe as part of their national costumes (eg. Sweden). Many 19th century women wore similar hats both in Europe and America.
Had to crack up when I saw Chelsea who regularly bust on Scientology interviewing a Scientologist. I don't care what people believe in as long as they do no harm.
I've just learned from the comments that Elizabeth Moss is a Scientologist. I'm so confused. How can one be involved with Scientology but star in series like The Handmaid's Tale? That doesn't work.
I absolutely loved Elisabeth Moss in this show, until I recently learned about her deep involvement in Scientology. How can someone playing this role still uphold cult values in their real life? It goes against everything she (her character) believes in and fights for. I don't think I can ever look her the same way, it will be hard for me to believe any honesty her character portrays knowing it's all a sham compared to her true self.
I don’t care that Moss is Scientologist. Her acting skills are superb and quite frankly, it’s no more strange to me than a Christian who believes Jesus exists/existed. But, wtf do I know? 🤷🏾♀️To each their own.
Same here. Her acting chops are what people admire. You do not have to agree with someone's religious or personal beliefs to enjoy their acting prowess ❤
The fact that she can disassociate the cult she’s actually in from her tv character is creepy as hell. She’s literally in a cult herself. I don’t trust this woman.
Yes, she is a scientologist, but it's different when you're born into a religion and you're fed that crap for birth. She's also not a fundamentalist. She takes what she likes and leaves the rest, openly so.
Funny that they read The handmaid's tale as something that could happen in the US becuse of religion and "the war on women" when the truth is that the show kind of describes the women situation in muslim countries.
Gilead is pretty close to where we are as a country, except for the low birth rates. In reality the population is exploding to a point where we are creating an unsustainable drain on the planet, except for in a few places
She is very Beautiful, Cheerful, and A great actress!! I love her, enough to Pray for her, Not put her down because her beliefs may not be mine!! Jesus Christ Still Saves!!!! I love her clothes and sense of Style!!!
People who think that we’re actually headed toward that reality are insane. The only thing they base that on is abortion. Keep in mind that states where abortion is becoming illegal are doing that with the majority of the women’s consent.
You know her publicist told Chelsea NO Scientology questions lol 💯
I really hope shes quit scientology. I love her shows/movies, but I can't deny she fell a couple of pegs on the respect scale when I found out shes a scientologist.
you and me both
"Pegs" The weirdest thing is that you can notice the craziness in the way she acts. She smiles too much and laughs too much like Tom Cruz. It's not authentic.
When she says "It's crazy right" It's like she's talking about Scientology here.
She is an actress and you don't know her personally. What the fuck does it matter what her religion is? So dumb. I enjoy her acting and that is really all I think about her.
MW S I agree but her parents were the ones that raised
The power of acting is about believing the story you see on the screen. Every dialogue, every actor´s smile or frown. Her scientology membership kinda decreses the viewer´s experience. It brings a lot of prejudice especially when it comes to the show that is trying to shed a light on these religious cults. I cant really believe her anymore on the screen.

Maybe this is why she plays the part so well
the irony of being in handmaids tale and being in a cult
Alexis it is not a cult. U.s. government already did investigation and proved it is not a "cult".
patphatcat what investigation did they do, show us proof, a non scientology type of proof to make what you say true, otherwise what you said is made up.

patphatcat you answered nothing and run away. You decided to but into other people's conversations and make Scientology look worse off.
After finding out she's a scientologist I just can't look at her the same way. from one of my favourite people and now she just looks idk off/sinister? idk how to explain it
sian l agreed
sian l I wish I never opened this because I can't look at her the same either now lmao
She was raised into it. Poor kid didn't stand a chance
I did like her and the show until I found out she’s a scientologist. Not watching 2nd season!
so you are a bigot then? LOL If she was a Jew you never would have said that.
I think she was born into a scientology family. You can't help who you're raised by. And it's very hard to break away from your parents' system of belief.
HinHwood no it’s not.
LOL, don't hurt yourself thinking to much about her successful life. jealous much.
It is hard but possible. Im doing it
I say shotgun, you say wedding no one will hunt you down for not being Catholic. I found it quite easy. I just stopped going to mass
Y’all try being raised as a witness. 😂
Just because she doesn't support her religion doesn't mean she can't support her as an actress. Like wtf?
Chelsea has ALWAYS had people on her show that she hasn't 100% agreed with, that's what makes her great. She can have a civil conversation (and enjoy herself) with a person she has differences with. That's called being an adult.

OH THE IRONY IT BURNS
Like the fire of a thousand suns
Absolutely
When you didn't know she was an 's-word' until the comments....
She's complict in an abusive cult... and here she is, being praised by Chelsea.
Year, sad!
I legit laughed out loud when I saw the title since Chelsea has talked so much shit about scientology lol i love it
Majahhh1 This interview doesn't bring up Scientology, so...
because it's irrelevant to the topic.
but it's very relevant to her as a HUMAN BEING! and that's more important (and supposed to be!) then her as a actress...
mbblover It's absolutely not more important. The interview is about her acting and her show.
How the hell is not relevant when there are so many parallels between the show´s story and scientology cult ?

Tadeo and where on earth are you going with that dumb as fuck question? Because last I checked, you can find all of those people in every religion.

Amarina E. turned around *
They don’t discuss anything regarding her cult membership so no it accomplishes nothing other than giving scientologists a platform
David She was talking about the people in the comments.
Yes thank you! It’s like everyone’s entitled to their religious beliefs except if you’re Muslim or a Scientologist.

You need to do just a little more research, Scientology isn't a religion, it's 100% a cult. It's actually banned in a number of countries because of how dangerous it is.
You are right, I meant beliefs, I still admire her; thanks for the correction...
Thanks, being english my 3rd language you have to give me a break, sometimes is hard not to be confused, I'll check it out next time...
it's not about what she believes in and beliefs!.. it's what she is involved in as a organization and what they do and act out to it's own members, ex-members and anyone who is a critic that is the argument!...
Scientology much?
The resemblances between the serie and her OWN beliefs in Scientology!! The oppression, sexual abuse, regime and 'Saving the planet'
it's amazing she was allowed to go there after Chelsea spoke out against scientology
I concur with all the negative comments about Scientology, but that's hardly reason enough not to have Elizabeth Moss on the show. But for Chelsea not to actually question her about Scientology in the context of a show about an oppressive cult is just plain gutless.
Josh Drayton she probably wasn't allowed too
Honestly I've fallen in love with this show. She is lovely, and acts so good in the situations that her character goes through. For some reason this show resonates a lot with me.

Its not good for the show publicity ? Some friends stopped watching it after they found out she was a scientologist. Its funny she used to speak publicly about scientology before but ever since Handmaid´s Tale she has either dodged any question about it or hasnt been asked at all.

James Fitzgerald she decided not to talk about scientology. It is a waste of time. Some people will twist your words, will think you are lieing, that you can't think for yourself. Many people already made up their minds about scientology so what is the point of answering questions. They do not want the truth, they just want to use something you said to attack you. If you want to know about scientology go take a free on - line course or get the book "what is Scientology?".
patphatcat of course it strips away rights as people. And yes it could do so much good but scientology doesn't care about anyone. If they had this much power, no one would ever get sick, die, no more malnutrition. Scientology is a lie and anyone with a brain knows this.
I'm surprised Elisabeth was allowed by Scientology to go on to a show who's host has criticized her religion up and down lately. Scientology labels all critics Suppressive Persons (SP's) and Chelsea could and would be labeled an SP, especially due to her being friends with Leah Remini who is currently trying to "take down" Scientology.
I am actually surprised Chelsea practiced restraint and didn't put her on the spot with at least one Scientology question. Normally she is such a brash person and vomits uncomfortable questions.
LC T I'm sure there was a strict agreement in advance to not ask any of those types of questions.
LC T scientology does not label all critics "suppressive people". That is false. You MUST HAVE 12 SIGNS TO BE SUPPRESSIVE. IF YOU HAVE ALL 12, then you are a suppressive person. Being critical is not enough. LEah Remini admitted to a producer that she is being paid a lot of money to attack scientology. It is rare to kick someone out of the organization. She must have had all 12 signs.
patphatcat You are twisting Leah Remini word. Yes she is getting paid to talk negative (also the truth) about scientology, it is called a TV show. When you make TV shows you get paid to be on it. She didn't get kicked out, she left.
James Fitzgerald my understanding is that she had all 12 signs of a psychopath, someone who does not understand right and wrong. They seem normal and can be friendly and charming, but it is an act, and they have no conscience. Because of this, she was kicked out. She then started the t.v. show and told one of the producers that she was getting paid to attack scientology. I saw a short video and the producer himself said this. Also, when someone goes on her t.v. show, none of the lawyers on her show will verify if the person is speaking the truth or not, and Leah said it was because the lawyers all work for her. She was at a round table with other actors and actresses when she said this.
@@patphatkitten It's hard to take your accusations against Leah seriously when you yourself worked for Scientology (Read that in another comment of yours).
Elisabeth is so lovely, and so great in the show!
I adore her she’s one of those rare actresses that I love in everything she does she’ll be one of the future legends
yall she was born into scientology and she wouldn’t be able to talk to her parents if her quitting was publicly announced...chill
To me she is the next Meryl Streep. Amazing actress.
PLAYED STORMY DANIELS WELL EH? MERYL IS A MAN SO.......YEAH......
Nah, this girl is a devout Scientologist which is a cult. She’s creepy
Dear God. Thank you for Chelsea.
She is A-MAZING in the HANDSMAIDS TALE OMG!!!
Really Chelsea? One of Scientology's biggest stars, a cult that does about EVERYTHING in The Handmaid's Tale - and you promote her?
GetSwingIN
GetSwingIN
GetSwingIN The show is fantastic and worth promoting. It's very simple. Her personal religion is irrelevant to the point of this interview.
Her being a scientologist is actually extremely relevant. She is part of a totalitarian organization (falsely called a religion) that frequently abuses it's own members in numerous and horrific ways, harasses ex members and critics by stalking and intimidating them, and have even been involved in the mysterious deaths of several people. (Look up youtube videos about what happened to a woman named Lisa McPherson)
This woman stars in a show about a cult that abuses and subjugates people. How are people supposed to take the message the show tries to convey seriously when it stars someone who is part of an organization that does just that?
Scientology is not something to be passive about. It's hurting people and has been doing so for decades. There is plenty of evidence for it out there, all you have to do is take a look.
Just stumbling on this now just five years later…. Wow! These people had no idea how much closer we’ve gotten in just a few years.
exactly what I was thinking reading older comments! We’re getting there :(
I’m crushing on her so much after watching the Handmaid’s Tale 🥰 she’s truly talented
NO Chelsea!!! Her show is not the scariest thing on T.V. right now. The scariest show on television right now is Leah Remini's: Scientology and the Aftermath!!! And that thing on your show is one of those hideous people who believe in Xenu, alien Thetans. She's one of those sick cookies!! Ask her about it Chelsea. Or have Leah and Elizabeth at the same time!
Exactly !
this girl is the most authentic actress i have ever seen
I love them both. No point in bringing up their differences here when it's not the point of discussion. That's what you called professionalism, decency, and respect.
Wait. They weren't talking about Scientology?
I don’t care what she believes in, she’s an amazing actor
WHAAAAAAT.. She's a scientologist? wow. I didn't know that until today. lol
I want Elizabeth's blouse, seriously it's beautiful!
I didn't know Elizabeth was a Scientologist until I read all the comments. That came as a surprise.
yep she's evil
Years ago the first thing I was in was Christmas Carol, we started having this thing where my friends and I would come together and say 'duck hats unite!' and we'd bonk our bonnets together 😂
I miss this show so much!
She's so captivating to watch, great actress
She is so pretty. I love her smile, and what a great actress. My favorite show right now
I think that everybody knew that Elisabeth Moss was a good actress yet on this one she simply hit it out of the park.
A great actress - the best. A Scientologist? Wow. Didn't expect that
Read the book. Written in 1987. Atwood wrote about the rise of Gilead, “ at first we blamed it on the muslims.” Chilling considering the attitudes of many people today.🥺😷🇨🇦🇺🇸
Chelsea was sauced for sure!!! Anyone else notice that?
Why do people care so much about her religious beliefs? She is allowed to believe whatever she wants and just because her beliefs go against yours does not mean we can bash her aboit it. She is a brilliant actress and is very good in her work and deserves all the recognition for it. I couldn't care less about her religious beliefs.
My absolute favorite actress. ❤❤
She’s such a great actress and I hope she leaves Scientology
I've got a huge crush on this amazing actor. Everything she does in the acting world is so, so good! Praise be😅
I'll read the book. SCIENTOLOGY ain't making a dime off me, neither is she! I refuse to watch ANYTHING that has a SCIENTOLOGIST in it! I wanted to see "Gotti", but not until Travolta quits the cult. Nope, not a dime! This cult must change, or be squashed.
It's honestly pretty funny reading these comments as an atheist. Because I feel the same way every time any public figure talks about their Christanity or Catholicism. To me, all these groups are just as insane as the other. A cult is any religion that isn't yours. Elizabeth is an amazing actress and deserves full respect regardless of what she believes.
Now that i know she's a scientologist I'm like... Mmmm i can't take her seriously when she's talking about how aweful a dystopian world would be... 🤔🤔🤔
I thought she was amazing in this series and often just a look spoke so much, truly beautiful.
There was a series called 'Top of the lake' set in New Zealand - It is hands down the best thing she's ever done
I'm not interested in her religious views.... I just think she's incredibly beautiful and an awesome actress.
She kills it as Offred !!
A lot of very smart people are in Scientology. Elizabeth could be in a very high state of denial and choosing to keep the blinders on or she is very aware of the criminology, but wants to keep the personal benefits without guilt or pressure taking over. We don't actually know how she feels about her own personal beliefs bc she won't publicly share, however she may publicly share how she feels about the cult in which she performs in character. I'm sure she's seen parallels without others pointing them out. Good luck Liz! You may be torn and maybe you're waiting for the optimal time to leave scientology. Personally, it would be kinda cool to see you denounce it right there on Chelsea show!
Okay enough. I love her dont care about her beliefs shes amazing PERIOD. love you girl!
Elizabeth Moss is so talented!
We love Elizabeth Moss too! 💕
Chelsea I've sadly lost all respect for the show. Thought Chelsea really stood for something. You can't have it both ways . Bye !!
I love, respect and worship Elizabeth Moss🙇🏾♂️👩. Her religion and the world 🌎 should be proud of this talented woman
The headdresses are quite Quakerish and also similar to those worn by women in some parts of Europe as part of their national costumes (eg. Sweden). Many 19th century women wore similar hats both in Europe and America.
Man, Moss must really have a thing about characters having kids and then losing them in the first season.
haha
Elisabeth Moss seems so fun and chill, like you'd wanna hang out with her. Then you remember she's in a cult... so weird.
Had to crack up when I saw Chelsea who regularly bust on Scientology interviewing a Scientologist. I don't care what people believe in as long as they do no harm.
I've just learned from the comments that Elizabeth Moss is a Scientologist. I'm so confused. How can one be involved with Scientology but star in series like The Handmaid's Tale? That doesn't work.
Whashington, please come back.
I absolutely loved Elisabeth Moss in this show, until I recently learned about her deep involvement in Scientology. How can someone playing this role still uphold cult values in their real life? It goes against everything she (her character) believes in and fights for. I don't think I can ever look her the same way, it will be hard for me to believe any honesty her character portrays knowing it's all a sham compared to her true self.
That’s what brainwashing does to children.
Cult members are victims
You guys screwed up my whole impression of her.. damn it... Scientology... 😑
I don’t care that Moss is Scientologist. Her acting skills are superb and quite frankly, it’s no more strange to me than a Christian who believes Jesus exists/existed. But, wtf do I know? 🤷🏾♀️To each their own.
Yeah same 😂
Same here. Her acting chops are what people admire. You do not have to agree with someone's religious or personal beliefs to enjoy their acting prowess ❤
Elizabeth Moss, is so Beautiful!!!!!
"Get her off the show! She's a fucking Scientologist!" Gosh, you all are such loving, tolerant people!
I still can’t get over the fact that she’s a Scientologists
Elizabeth is awesome, great actor, try to watch everything she is in.
Chelsea sits how I do! Love it :)
She is so gorgeous 🤗❤️
Oh my god, she is gorgeous!
Every time I watch the handmaids tale I think, this isn’t that much different to her scientology experiences.
She looks so much like Heather Graham in the thumbnail
I love her outfit.
it's crazy she's explaining the plot and doesn't connect it to her own scientology???
She's really cute. I always thought the opposite b/c I first saw her on "Girl, Interrupted"
The fact that she can disassociate the cult she’s actually in from her tv character is creepy as hell. She’s literally in a cult herself. I don’t trust this woman.
Name of intro music plz??

Aside from the scientology topic - can we talk about how chelsea did not prep for this interview literally AT ALL
Yes, she is a scientologist, but it's different when you're born into a religion and you're fed that crap for birth. She's also not a fundamentalist. She takes what she likes and leaves the rest, openly so.
Blonde really suits Elizebeth moss, i mean it really suits her, i mean it really really suits her.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ SHE'S MY ANGEL
She? LOL!
Peggy is a scientologist. :( That's so not cool
Go Elisabeth Moss, go :)))
FUCK NETFLIX I WANT THIS SHOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny that they read The handmaid's tale as something that could happen in the US becuse of religion and "the war on women" when the truth is that the show kind of describes the women situation in muslim countries.
Wait she’s in Scientology ?!!!!
Gilead is pretty close to where we are as a country, except for the low birth rates. In reality the population is exploding to a point where we are creating an unsustainable drain on the planet, except for in a few places
funny that Netflix is promoting a HULU show.. ironic.
How did she get Elisabeth on tho.
Even Jim Jones' followers believed right up to drinking the Kool-Aid.
"Oh Look at this Funny Show, Could you Imagine?"
Yikes that felt soo screwed up.
She is very Beautiful, Cheerful, and A great actress!! I love her, enough to Pray for her, Not put her down because her beliefs may not be mine!! Jesus Christ Still Saves!!!!
I love her clothes and sense of Style!!!
People who think that we’re actually headed toward that reality are insane. The only thing they base that on is abortion. Keep in mind that states where abortion is becoming illegal are doing that with the majority of the women’s consent.
