Celebrity Big Brother’s Kirstie Alley accused of using show to recruit Scientology members: ‘Something interesting might happen’

Tony Ortega, editor of anti-Scientology blog The Underground Bunker, has also suggested the 1980s pin-up may have been getting tips from Scientology leader, David Miscavige.
‘I think it’s quite possible that she will get some instruction from David Miscavige about what he’d like to see her say or do on the show,’ Ortega began. ‘And if she does try to recruit someone on the show, it will no doubt be a disaster – and perhaps a ratings coup.
‘But this is Kirstie we’re talking about, and so I wouldn’t be all that surprised if she tried it.’
Ortega hopes Alley’s CBB co-stars will grill the actress over her beliefs, after Scientologist Stacey Francis was lightly left off the hook during her stint in 2017.
‘[Francis] did make some news for talking about her involvement in Scientology,’ Ortega continued. ‘But it was the typical sort of celebrity Scientology moment. Stacy made some vague references to how it gave her tools for life and that it was misunderstood by the public.
‘I would say there’s a good chance something similar will happen during Kirstie’s stay in the Big Brother house. Someone may bring it up and she’ll give a speech about how the press has it all wrong and how helpful it has been in her life.
‘Of course, we would all like to see her housemates ask her some real questions about Scientology, about the forced abortions, missing executives, extreme fundraising, and of course the nutty ideas of [founder] L. Ron Hubbard.
