The ENQUIRER goes deep inside the controversial celebrity church in Part 2 of the explosive interview with the ex- wife of Earl star Jason Lee!
Former Scientologist and actress Carmen Llywellyn – the ex-wife of My Name is Earl star Jason Lee, who remains a member of the controversial church – rips apart the veil of secrecy.
Carmen joined Scientology in 1995 after marrying Jason, but quit during their bitter divorce in 2002.
"His message was that if I didn’t join, I wasn’t going to be with him," Carmen told The ENQUIRER exclusively. "So I joined, but it was like a cult, and I foolishly allowed it to take root in me."
The former actress recalled meeting Scientolo bigwig Tom Cruise and his then-wife Nicole Kidman in New York, "We sat down with Tom and Nicole, and a big group of people.
"Jason and I were talking to Tom, and we told him that we went to the Scientology Centre in Los Angeles.
"He said brightly, ‘Oh, yeah? Well, me and Nicole are Scientologists, too! Right, Nic?’
"But she turned and gave Tom the most evil look. She stared at him for about 10 seconds, and Tom looked at her like he was throwing daggers with his eyes.
"I interpreted her look to mean, ‘I am NOT a Scientologist. And I will not be a Scientologist.’
"She was clearly mad at Tom for saying she was. And the next thing you know, they’re getting a divorce!
"At the time, the word went around all the Scientologists that ‘Nicole is an S.P., so Tom has to divorce her.’ An S.P. is a Suppressive Person, which is Scientology jargon for the devil."
Carmen also socialized with Lisa Marie Presley.
"Jason and I were talking to Lisa Marie one night at a Hollywood club. We were all drinking, and he said to Lisa, ‘Come on. Tell us the truth. Why did you really divorce Michael Jackson?’" Carmen recalled.
"She said, ‘The reason I finally left him was that I didn’t want him to be in the same room as my children!’"
.
Carmen claims her marriage fell apart after Jason turned violent. During divorce proceedings, Carmen says she attended a series of meetings with Scientologists, who browbeat her into signing a document that she claimed had been prepared by Jason and the church.
Although the agreement gave her spousal support of $22,141 a month for three years, plus $50,000 cash and a leased car, Carmen says her ex-husband got the better deal.
Jason received their $2 million house, several cars and his businesses, plus residuals, stocks and pension accounts. Carmen says the church "double-crossed" her because "they did not want to upset or lose their celebrity."
"Scientologists followed me down the street. They came looking for me to scare me. I was nearly suicidal," she said.
