When the founder of your religion had to go into hiding as he was facing so many criminal allegations; your Church leader is accused of physically beating staff; and entire countries think you’re more of a money-making criminal organization than a religion…well…you would have thought a bit of teasing by a stand up comedian would be the least of your worries.

But actress and comedian Malena Pichot found herself up against from The National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism this week. The leader of the Argentine Church of Scientology filed a formal complaint citing defamation after statements made by Pichot went public.

Enter Malena. “They got annoyed because I said they were a cult, which is what they are. It seems like the Scientologists don’t have much to do.” Apparently one CAN fit in a bit of Twitter stalking between forcing women to give birth silently and sitting in saunas in the name of religion.

The actual damning tweet is unknown. “I write a lot of things on Twitter,” she said. “It could have been anything…it could have been years ago.” But these are Scientologists we’re talking about — the people who make you sign a billion year pledge if you want to be a member. They’re not going to let a few years get in the way of a point.

Frontal, with strong convictions and a very marked ideological stance, Malena Pichot expresses her opinions through social networks. But one of his comments did not go down well at the Church of Scientology , and its director filed a complaint with the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism (INADI).

According to Teleshow , the accountant Gustavo Libardi , director of the Church of Scientology, made a complaint to INADI against Pichot for a message he wrote on Twitter .

This portal communicated with the actress, who said that the anger on the part of the plaintiffs is due to the accused of being "a sect" . However, he does not know precisely what the message on the social network that motivated the complaint was: "It may be many years ago. I write so many things on Twitter ... It could have been anything ."

And he explained: " They were angry because I said that they were a sect, and that's what they are. It seems that the people of Scientology do not have much to do ."

In addition, he said that he spoke with the INADI to have more details on this complaint, but that did not know to give more details. "INADI serves as an intermediary, nor do they know what happened, " said the comedian, who at the moment does not know how the course of this matter will continue.

Scientology emerged in the United States in the 1950s and preaches that humans are spiritual beings who have forgotten what their true nature is. The country arrived in the 80's but only in 2008 was registered in the Secretariat of Worship , as Church of Scientology Argentina. Its headquarters are in Ayacucho 1000. In the last 20 years it has had relevance to the world religious life: Tom Cruise and John Travolta are some of the famous people who have confessed devotees and have publicly defended this community.

PERSON (Malena Pichot, Charo López, Ana Carolina and Vanesa Strauch)

LQIc83p.jpg


Four people completely different from each other, from different backgrounds, get together on stage to see how important and beautiful the difference is.

Each comedian presents his monologue, as well as his imprint, his ideology and his desire to change the world. Using humor to rant against all the injustices and absurdities they face in their lives.

Person is a stand up show, a hypocritical musical and a transvestite show, elucubrado for the audience to strive in a new exercise of understanding. An exercise based on the fundamental idea that those who dare on stage are not women, they are people.

THE CAST:

Malena Pichot

Argentinean comedian Malena Richot doubles down on Scientology and says, "IT’S A CULT!"

From Tony Ortega:

http://tonyortega.org/2017/04/03/sc...launches-new-personal-attacks-at-leah-remini/

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

After Jonny Jacobsen dug up the tweets that apparently got Argentinean comedian Malena Pichot in some trouble with the Scientologists in her country, we hoped that she might have something to say about the controversy. She had told a news organization there that a Scientology official had reported her to a national anti-discrimination organization because she had called Scientology a “cult” on Twitter.

Well, she hasn’t got back to us, but she did post this brief video, made in her car.

[SNIP]

Then she turns to Scientology.

“It seems that I said it’s a cult but it’s not a cult so I have to say something [screaming]: IT’S A CULT!”
