Video: Listen in on a casual conversation between cult expert Steve Hassan, ex-Scientologist Paul Grosswald — a long-time anti-cult activist, and ex-Scientologist Karen Pressley, who was a top person at the cult’s Celebrity Centre, a Seo Org member, and who worked directly for David Miscavige for 4 years.

Karen talks about her presentation at the ICSA conference with ex-Children of God member Miriam Boeri (who wrote Heaven’s Harlots), suppression of her new book by the Scientology cult, and its forthcoming release.

Prior to her 16-year involvement with the Church of Scientology, Karen Pressley worked as a Hollywood fashion designer, as well as a music publisher with her then husband Peter Schless.

Their work included hit songs like “On the Wings of Love.” Their careers took a turn when they fell prey to the deception of Scientology.
