Last week, we posted this photo, which was buried in Scientology’s slide show from its March 14 event celebrating founder L. Ron Hubbard’s 115th birthday in Clearwater, Florida. (Hubbard, actually born on March 13, 1911, died in 1986.)
You can clearly see that Scientology celebrities Tom Cruise and John Travolta were in the front row, cheering church leader David Miscavige, who presided over the nearly three-hour event.
But in other photos at the slide show that were more prominent, Cruise and Travolta were missing. Former London Scientology staffer Alex Barnes-Ross says he’s found evidence that Cruise and Travolta were scrubbed from the images.
So that left us with a question. We’ve seen Travolta numerous times at the Birthday Event in recent years, and Cruise was at the last big three meetings: the IAS gala in England in the fall, the New Year’s event in Los Angeles, and now the Birthday bash. (This is the first time we’ve seen them both at the same birthday event since 2019.)
Church leader David Miscavige clearly wants Travolta and Cruise at these events. But why wouldn’t he want the rest of the world to know it? Why scrub the church’s two most famous ornaments from the most visible slides?
Was it Cruise and Travolta who asked to be left out of the photos, and Dave went along with it?
