Hello, I'm Dr. Steve Hassan with another episode of cults, culture, and coercion.

And I have with me a very special old friend and colleague, a survivor of Scientology,

Tori Christman with me today.

Tori and I go back decades, literally, and she's helped me on cases.

We've hung out together, done all kinds of fun projects together, but I want, I said to Tori,

we've done interviews years ago, but I want to do a fresh one with you today

with my larger podcast audience and network.

So I'll just start by saying you got recruited into Scientology when you were 22.

Yes.

Is that right?

No, I didn't get recruited in.

No.

So we'll jump into your story, but let me just say to keep people listening, you were in 30 years, and you went up the bridge, the so-called bridge to total freedom, which is the total freedom

trap, according to my friend John Atec. You went to OT7 of OT8 twice, if I remember correctly.

And you got out after a whole the internet period started we'll let you tell the story

of what Scientology asked you to do there and amongst many of your stories you helped

be involved with John Travolta so we want people to stay tuned and hear more of your story.

But let's start with how you got in.

And we definitely want to get into what you've been doing

since you've exited, because you're one of the major forces, Tori Magoo, you know, messaging,

and now you have millions of views on TikTok, I hear.

It's outrageous.
