Yesterday, former London staffer Alex Barnes-Ross completed his three-day protest at Scientology’s big annual IAS gala, and he saved his wildest experience for last.
The event is held at the church’s UK headquarters, Saint Hill Manor in East Grinstead, England, to celebrate the 1984 founding of the International Association of Scientologists, the church’s membership organization. Church leader David Miscavige brought back the shindig in 2023 after a break for the pandemic, and that year Tom Cruise arrived on the first night in his helicopter. Cruise also attended Saturday night’s Patrons Ball last year.
This year, Alex told us that Cruise’s helicopter was spotted flying in on Friday afternoon, which was confirmed by an online aircraft tracking website. But then yesterday came the real treat.
Here’s Alex’s breakdown of it…
When we crashed Dave’s party at the opening of the Qual building in 2023, I thought we were never going to get an opportunity like that again. But yesterday, the IAS protest 2025 went out with a bang thanks to Tom Cruise’s dramatic departure from the Saint Hill compound.
Looking at his helicopter’s movements on aviation tracking sites, it’s clear he was dropped off at the property on Friday, and then the helicopter arrived again to take him away on the Sunday, with Cruise presumably staying at the Manor over two nights.
