Mitch Brisker, once a trustworthy associate of Scientology's leader, David Miscavige, departed from the organization over a year ago. Now, he is breaking his silence. "Tom Cruise is Scientology's principal victim. Some might disagree with me, but it seems as though he lives in a distorted reality.

Today, 74-year-old Mitch Brisker was once close to David Miscavige, the contentious leader of the Church of Scientology. He departed from the organization a little over a year ago after a disagreement with its leader. Recently, he decided to give an interview to the "Daily Mail", where he expounded on the Church's operation and the relationship between the organization's leader and Hollywood star, Tom Cruise.
Former Scientologist breaks silence about the leader
In the interview, Brisker characterized Miscavige as an individual with an immense propensity for control. "No one with a bigger craving to control has ever been born," highlights the former Scientologist. According to him, the leader is "a solitary man with a fondness for designer clothes, eagerly anticipating gifts, fast cars, high-end motorcycles, and loud music."
Miscavige was immensely focused on material possessions. As per the account detailed in the "Daily Mail," he distributed a wish list for birthday and Christmas gifts annually, and church members were obligated to buy him the extravagant items listed, such as $700 shirts or high-priced cameras. "He was given a custom Mustang worth more than $100,000 by members of Flag (Church of Scientology's Flag Service Organization in Clearwater, Florida), among others," added the 74-year-old.
What's happening with Tom Cruise? "He's completely in the matrix"
Brisker also spoke about the relationship between the leader and Cruise, who has been part of the Church of Scientology since the late '80s. The latter joined under the encouragement of his first wife, Mimi Rogers. "They're like twins separated at birth. (...) For Tom, I believe it's a legitimate friendship, almost admiration," he suggested and added: "Tom Cruise, in my opinion, is Scientology's principal victim. Some might disagree, but it seems he's immersed in a distorted reality. He's entirely lost in the matrix."
The former Scientologist also broached the subject of Shelly Miscavige, colloquially referred to as the "first lady of Scientology." She was last publicly seen in 2007. Since then, her whereabouts have been the topic of investigation and speculation. There were concerns about being held against her will or having encountered harm. However, Brisker refutes these notions. "In my understanding, Shelly isn't missing nor is she detained," he asserts. He firmly believes she resides in a covert base akin to a bunker in Crestline, California.
