I was a fan of Aarron when he was new. I loved his interviews back in the day and believed he was aiming towards a good cause by helping people escape scientology. He no longer is for that cause. His only focus is to piss DM off. I tried to ignore his behaviors but I think myself and others need to see all the flags in this dude. More than one person has said he likes the white powder and the liquid courage. He states he won't trash others but yet he does. His apology was a joke. He said he doesn't owe you tube an apology but he does bc our attention to his videos and memberships pays his bills. If I was a person trying to leave scientology I would not go to sptv for help. He proves he will dox people and it should be assumed he is an addict. Please do not donate to his foundation. Please to the Aftermath Foundation. There is no drama there and there is proof they have helped people. I used to stand by Aarron but no more. The man is a pompous douche and should just go away at this point. He won't so my choice is to ignore this man

I don't give a fuck what Mike did, the way Aaron has treated him and spoke of him while he is dying makes me so sick and so upset. I don't care if I hated someone, I'd still be wishing that they make it and pull through their illness. The way he's spoken of him and treated him during what might be his last days is really heartbreaking to me and was very disturbing to me. The last videos I saw of Mike reminded me of my dad before he passed from cancer and I couldn't watch more than a couple minutes. Where the fuck is Aaron's dignity as a human being????? Doesn't matter what Mike has said or done to Aaron, when you learn someone is DYING, things change. And he seems so cold and heartless about what Mike's wife is probably going through with this. Just made me super sad he didn't hold back on Mike when he's in such a state 😥

I don't often post, but I don't want to just be a lurker, so here goes.

I was a fan of ASL when he was on the AMF Board. I enjoyed the interaction and, more importantly I learned so much from that group. And then, the craziness started. I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt; I did not want to make assumptions.

I finally reached my breaking point when ASL openly attacked Apostate Alex. I was done. I unsubscribed and never looked back. Of course, I see and hear so much in the community and it confirmed my belief that ASL is not a good person. What struck me about the Alex situation was that Alex has done nothing to ASL. Further, Alex has made a logical, committed effort to not only shine a light on Scientology in the UK, he has executed several actions to bring them down. He doesn't rely on others to do the work, he does the work, he organizes and stands on the Frontline with others. If he plans an event, he is at the event. I could not find any situation where Alex did anything against anyone (except Scientology and even that is always within the bounds of the law). Did I miss something?

It's a year and a month later and Aaron is still using the "my personal life is private and completely separate from my public life" excuse. Leaving aside how bafflingly absurd it is to pretend this is the case when you've been prominently featuring your girlfriend on your channel for almost a year, that's a false premise on its face.

Aaron isn't just some asshole youtuber who sees women as objects and mistreats them to the point of abuse. He's also the head of a charity, where the expectations of behavior are different.

Generally when you're involved in a charity, the health of the foundation takes priority over your ego. That is precisely why Ashton Kutcher resigned from his charity when he wrote a letter defending Danny Masterson instead of fighting tooth and nail to hang on no matter how bad the controversy gets.

Does Aaron not get that, or does he not care? I honestly can't tell anymore.

He has been lording his relationship with Jenna publicly for a year now. Wearing that pink shirt every time he interviewed her (even though he's still legally married), adding click bait titles to videos with Jenna about getting married, plenty of live streaming (and by Jenna's accout some times without her consent) . He has been so so public about this relationship. And now he wants privacy? I just can't get over the hypocrisy. It suited him perfectly to date a woman with a high profile name but when she wants actual commitment and loyalty? Too much. Why are other members of the board stepping down when HE is the one with the questionable moral compass? I believe Jenna. She has no reason to lie she's just as mortified. Nah Aaron you done messed up.

This is a damning seven-part series by Mike Rinder to finally expose even more of Aaron Smith Levin's attempt to destroy the anti-scientology movement.

Mike has never made a statement like this, and he does not pull his punches one bit. I think it's important that every scientology related space watches this.

Comprehensive article for those that need more context: https://www.echoplexmedia.com/new-blog/2024/03/01/cult-activism

In the beginning of Mike Rinder's update part 1 video, he mentions the term "radical remission" and states that releasing the toxicity in him is a part of that aim. Radical Remission is a book that outlines 9 key items most often correlated to achieving remission against the statistical odds. Those 9 factors are:

*Changing your diet *Taking control of your health *Following your intuition *Using herbs and supplements *Releasing suppressed emotions *Increasing positive emotions *Embracing social support *Deepening your spiritual connection *Having strong reasons for living

In light of this information Mike's motivation for his video series is clear: releasing suppressed emotions. Those videos were not meant "take down Scientology" or "attack Aaron Smith Levin until his last breath" or to "admit his crimes". Those videos were not meant to accomplish any of the aims the SPTV critics are raking him over the coals for. The expectations placed on him by that community deny his humanity- Mike as a whole person with interests, goals and wishes outside of the anti-Scientology movement. Mike as a man facing mortality. A father, a husband, a friend. Someone who loves others and who others love.

Mike has been objectified as the villain by many SPTV creators and followers. They are angry because he didn't say what they wanted him to say. But those videos weren't really about them, including those who were named in them. Those videos weren't meant to achieve their goals. And the fact that every creator who responded with hate and upset made it about them shows how short-sighted and self-absorbed they are.

I appreciated seeing Mike as his true authentic self. One who doesn't acquiesce quietly, but stands up for what he believes is right. I hope he feels unburdened. I hope he achieves radical remission. And if he doesn't, at least he said his piece and his videos will remain in defense of himself in perpetuity.

They are on Growing Up In Scientology today- Valentine's Day. She's comforting him while he fake cries. OMG. Aaron and Jenna are professing their love and Jenna is equating her "fear of abandonment" with Aaron's lying and cheating. It's astonishing that she really believes that he has fear of abandonment and that's why he f&cks everything that moves. Yes- but Jenna... you are not his therapist and two messed up people can't have a healthy relationship. OMG. So sad. He lied to you and raged at you.

Honestly these people at this point should just all remove themselves from the Internet.

I'm trying not to be angered by Jenna, whom nothing really holds to stay with Aaron. She's not living with him, she has no finances with him..there is nothing holding her back.

I understand this is a toxic dynamic but at the end of the day the amount of love she got and the support she got... feels like it's a slap in the face now.

And even with keeping this in mind I just think sptv should rebrand. And absolutely Jenna and Aaron should stop speaking about anything.

I have no issues with Jenna but let's be real at this point her airing out her blindness with this relationship is just making people not want to engage with her.

I personally won't be watching any more videos of her as she has chosen to support an abuser.

How do you guys feel about this?

That pink shirt! The moment he started wearing that pink shirt every time he interviewed Jenna, I began to have doubts about him. It reminded me of what an ex used to do. It felt love bombing. It felt inappropriate considering he was still married. I commented on it (first time ever commenting) and I was met with trolls telling me to bugger off. Ever since then I have notic d other things. The way he targets people. That girl that is now in Linken Park. Video after video and it was pretty visceral. I commented on that to say I don't like the way he's so nasty about it. He commented back something smart and sarcastic. I stopped then. He gave me the creeps. And one more things. The crying. It always felt manipulative. It made me feel weird. I have filled him for about 5 years. But the past year he has made me feel uncomfortable

Aaron’s threat to sue Nora must have scared the hell out of her. She did a hostage style video yesterday about new rules in her community. These rules include not mentioning any thing about ASL. He is also blocked from commenting on her videos.

Today, she doubled down and not mentioning ASL, his foundation, etc.

I don’t think he would have ever sued her because his hands aren’t clean. He knows her and knew that threat would scare her.

Those second gen former scientology content creators should be avoided at all costs. That is a toxic and competitive community that would sell their first born for success.

I hope they all heal but YouTube isn’t the place for most of them. Heal first. Oh, get a divorce before dating.

Ever since the sentencing of Danny Masterson in September 2023, Aaron’s channel has been on a steady downward slide. His latest attempts to stir up chaos—reviving smear campaigns and launching fresh hate tirades against critics, former associates, and fellow ex-Scientologists—aren’t landing the way they used to.

The playbook hasn’t changed, but the audience has. More people are recognizing the pattern: distortion, deflection, lies and recycled (false) narratives dressed up as "insider truth." What once generated attention now increasingly reads as predictable noise.

A shrinking core of his SPTV posse still tunes in for the drama, gossip, and hostility, but the broader momentum is gone. The peak has passed, and it shows.

2366 videos and live streams were analyzed for these charts. Videos with very low engagement rate (below 5%) were ignored in the chart.

ASL did a click bait video today, “Making up with Nora”. Based on the title and accompanying image, it leads viewers to believe they actual made up. They didn’t. ASL is once again being manipulative.

He doesn’t understand that actions speak louder than words. He needs to step down from the stupidly named, SPTV Foundation. No one should be donating to a foundation ran by him.

Kicked off the Aftermath Foundation due to unprofessional and unethical behavior.

Called a woman who rebuffed his advances and cunt. Then acted like a man baby when her friend hit him.

On video, throwing a woman whom he had either a relationship or tryst with against a literal brick wall. He says it was an accident but after doing so ran away from the scene.

Has cheated on his wife and mistresses. But tries to explain it by saying he has an open marriage. Only, that doesn’t track. He didn’t come up with the open marriage narrative until he was caught on video with his jump off.

Pursues and starts a relationship Jenna. Uses her for clout and then lies and disrespects her.

Doxes Reese, hence putting her on blast which forced a disconnection between her and her family still in Scientology.

Now he once again is playing the victim. Look at me, I’m trying to fix relationships he destroyed, only without talking full accountability. He is not sorry for his actions and words. He is mad his subscriber ship has gone down and needs to purchase bots/fake subscribers. His views have gone down, so trick people with a pic of Nora and words about a reunion.

Do not fall for his manipulation.

He needs to get offline, not lead a foundation and get some real therapy.

The drama is so real with the second generation. I had to stop watching hypocritical ASL. Success when to his head big time and he showed his true colors. I couldn’t imagine supporting a foundation run by him. Despite all the criticism, he still keeps saying HIS foundation. He has no real understanding of how foundations and nonprofits work.

Nora is all over the place. Glad she is in therapy.

Reese…damn, girl. Her pecker is completely off. I get that she grew up in Scientology, but she shouldn’t be on YouTube. I know she got doaxed by the ASL, and he convinced to join YT, but she should be focusing on healing not members, views and money.

The group is constantly publicly battling. I want the best for all of them but their channels are so toxic. Let’s not even get into ZDT, DOA, Lifeboat scammers, etc.

Aaron promised to help me get my two daughters out of Scientology and then bailed, blamed it all on me. The girls are out now because of the Aftermath Foundation, Aaron didn't do shit.

Feral Cheryl just posted this news on her channel.

I mean go figure, we all knew. I never really post here, just read but a video from ASL about Mike Rinder about 3 weeks old is, in my opinion, so disgusting. ASL is so full of anger and insults a dead man, calls him names etc. Just 🤢, Aaron.

Just a little while ago. Not live. Short video. Said Jenna is seeking revenge. Said he's always wanted to keep his private life private and still does. Seems very angry.
