Laura Prepon simply revealed that she is now not training Scientology. The exchange came about years ago, but the That '70s Show superstar just announced her resolution publicly. Scientology is a collection of ideals and practices invented by means of creator L. Ron Hubbard, and an related movement. It has very much been defined as a cult, a trade or a new religious movement. Many celebrities have joined the religious movement, and many others have left and spoken out about it. Prepon is now one in every of them.
The Orange is the New Black star, 41, spoke to PEOPLE about her resolution, saying that her circle of relatives was a big affect in her decision. "As a brand-new mother, I was reflecting so much on my own upbringing and the way I was mothered."
Her husband, actor Ben Foster, is no longer a Scientologist, and they did not want to lift their kids as that either. This is why Laura Prepon left Scientology.
8 How She Got Involved
Back in 2015, Laura Prepon did a canopy tale with Scientology Magazine Celebrity speaking about her time with the group. “So once I first were given into Scientology, I did Personal Values and Integrity after which Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life. These courses touched at the observations I was conscious about when I used to be younger. It was proper there in black and white. It was once wonderful, and I felt that in spite of everything something was once talking my language. It totally attached with me. Pretty soon after that I were given onto the Purification Rundown, and I started moving up the Bridge.”
It is now not clear how she precisely got concerned, but it's going to have had one thing to do with her mother and how she taught her to be bulimic. Prepon longed for some form of connection.
7 What Prepon Has Said Over The Years
On the process of auditing, Prepon mentioned, "Honestly, I’ve become more me. The auditing has stripped away all of this charge, false ideas, decisions and mis-emotions that were affecting me."
"I feel a lot of the auditing that I’ve had helps me to be willing to go there and be free and vulnerable and really jump into these scenes wholeheartedly," she continued. "It’s so gratifying and fulfilling as an artist to be able to really be there in present time, creating, with no vias. Auditing has helped so much in getting me to this place. I have more to go, and can’t wait for what’s to come.”
6 Who Else Is In Scientology?
There are a surprising amount of celebrities involved in Scientology. Tom Cruise is one of the head honchos and became involved through his first wife, Mimi Rogers. His involvement in the church led to his next two marriages to crumble. John Travolta has been a member since 1975. His late wife, actress Kelly Preston, was also a member up until her death.
Perhaps one of the other reasons Prepon joined is because her That '70s Show cast member, Danny Masterson, might have convinced her to join. He and his entire family were raised Scientologists. "Each service in Scientology is one thing I have added to my instrument field of knowledge for living," Masterson is quoted as saying on the church's website.
5 Who Has Left?
Laura Prepon is not the first celebrity to leave Scientology and speak up about it. While many stars are still involved with the business and fully believe in it, others have put Scientology on blast and left. Stars like Leah Remini, who wrote a tell-all book and a TV show, left in 2013. Jerry Seinfeld took a few classes but wasn't really interested. Lisa Marie Presley, Beck, Jason Lee and more have all left the Church of Scientology and have not looked back.
4 When She Left
Although the actress has just spoken out about leaving the church now, she did leave about five years ago, right before she welcomed her first child. The actress spoke highly about the organization in the past, so some people were shocked to learn that she had left, especially after just doing an interview about them in 2015.
3 Why She Left
Laura Prepon told PEOPLE that welcoming her daughter, 4, and son, 16 months, with her husband, actor Ben Foster, led her to look inward. "If motherhood has taught me anything up to now, it's that something can work out for a time period and you then move on and evolve from that. As a brand new mom, I was riddled with anxiousness that I had never experienced before. My friends who had been mothers with older kids mentioned, 'Laura, this is a phase, you'll move on and then it will be something other.' And that has transcended into different portions of my life. We're all evolving. I all the time see that with my youngsters."
2 What Religion Prepon Practices Now
"I've at all times been very open-minded, even since I used to be a child. I used to be raised Catholic and Jewish. I've prayed in churches, meditated in temples. I've studied Chinese meridian concept. I have not practiced Scientology in just about 5 years and it's not a part of my life," Prepon told PEOPLE. Her husband was never a part of Scientology, and her husband was raised Jewish, so they probably want to instill that faith onto their children.
1 She And Her Husband Meditate Together
No longer finding solace in whatever Scientology offered her, Laura Prepon now finds it in meditation. She once said that Scientology relaxed her and made things a lot easier, but that has changed now. Her and Foster meditate daily. "And I'm in point of fact liking it because it is something that is helping me to hear my very own voice and it is something we can do in combination," she said. Along with meditation, Prepon is spending a lot of her time working from home on her third book and her cookware line, PrepOn Kitchen.
