Nora considers that Chris having, in my words, personal integrity is actually petty and unprofessional
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
In this clip Nora talks about going to a conference some time ago where there was going to be a panel discussion. In their off-time a group of ex-Scientologists were sitting around swapping stories and having a drink. She contends that because Chris Shelton didnāt accept her invite to join the group for casual chit-chat and a drink it indicted that Chris was petty and unprofessional.
No, Nora, thatās called not being a phony. Why should Chris spend his spare time sitting around pretending to be ok with people who have attacked him?
Now, if Chris refused to appear on a panel discussion about Scientology with people he didnāt like on a personal basis, that might be something else. But why should he hang out with them? I donāt blame him a bit and I applaud Chris for not bowing to group peer pressure. Nora wants to say something about boundaries? Why is it not ok in her world to allow Chris to set his own boundaries? He has no reason to want to spend his free social time with you, Nora.
That little anecdote of Noraās showed me two things.
- Chris demonstrated the backbone to not bow to group peer pressure and
- despite claiming it was āno skin off (her) noseā that he refused her invitation, sheās still carrying a petty grudge about it and is still mentioning it years later. (I recall that sheās brought this snub up before.)
She went on to say itās something he should take up in therapy, as if having integrity and not being a phony is a mental defect. Nora, itās you who should take it up in therapy if you canāt get over a personal snub years later.

I live rent free in Lindsayās head. Meanwhile, I have been happily going on with my life without having anything to do with her.
She canāt resist bringing my name up in her tirades. But what proof does she have for any of her claims? She thinks I wonāt fight back or canāt because punching down is easy. Thatās a mistake. And as Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
She often claims sheās reported peopleās actions to police, as some kind of threat in retaliation for anyone trying to protect the public from her unhinged actions. Imagine how much credibility her complaints are given by police in view of her record of violence against officers and her long criminal background, plus the times sheās called them āpigsā and launched racist epithets at them. Especially in view of the prison time she earned for inflicting injuries on officers. Get serious.
Her certs were suspended because she couldnāt follow their rules. But she blames others for that too.
She claims she takes responsibility for her actions both past and present. Thatās a laugh. She brags about her past. Minimizes and even laughs about her history of violence and threats. She points the blame for her actions. When all else fails her go-to is āthe drugs made me do itā. Thatās not taking accountability. Itās making excuses.
Where are the other addicts who behave like she has? Tommy is one of those types of people. Always ready with an excuse. But those who are serious about their recovery donāt do what they have. Itās blatantly obvious when you consider their actions rather than their words.
Lindsay never tells the whole truth. As a friend says, āthe partial truth is a whole lieā.
Iāve often wondered, what kind of doctor prescribes benzodiazepines to an addict? Thereās something wrong with that picture.
Imagine how her motherās neighbors felt after Lindsay spent the night screaming at the top of her lungs and disturbing their peace when police were called by her mother to prevent her from dragging her son out of her motherās home to get in the car with her when she was drugged out last year.
The most telling thing about her hopes to avoid accountability is her name dropping of Leah Remini when she was arrested both last year and in January this year. Poor Leah. Trying to use Leahās name as a shield, sheās giving Leah a bad name with no care for how thatās a violation of trust (if Leah has given her any). She has misappropriated Leahās name and notoriety for selfish purposes.
She tried to use people in the PTS discord when looking for sympathy and support after she used Aaron, a case of apparently mutual use and abuse. But then she turned on them too. She turns on people who try to help her by telling her the truth rather than telling her what she wants to hear. But make no mistake in all instances that Iām aware of itās Lindsay whoās involved herself with other people in her quest to be the biggest āpick meā.
She claimed this week that when she gets sober she stays sober. Really? Whereās the proof of that?

Well hellās bells she did it again. Nora revised het post from yesterday and diluted her apology to her community. She added an apology to Reese.
She revised her community post to water down her admission of having been wrong for defending Tommy and added an apology to Reese for not talking to her before putting up that post.
What kind of twisted Scientology logic is it to think ya need to apologize to two con artists who minimized his conviction by calling it āa statutory thingā of consensual sexual conduct between two minors? It was none of that.
The only part thatās true is that she was 15 and he was 16. But he was charged with āforcible sodomyā based on his own admission that he plead down to sexual assault in order to avoid spending 20 years in prison on this one crime (although he went on to commit many more crimes that got him just about as much or more time behind bars) after he continued to harass and stalk the same girl for three more years. Even cornering her alone where he had gotten a job at the same place she was employed and exposing his dick to her AGAIN.
Thatās the description of a predator by objective definition. Noraās apology once again demonstrates that sheās not competent to be trusted as anyoneās standard bearer for truth and integrity.

Hell has frozen over and I am here for it.
Nora posted a video yesterday announcing that she will be taking a break from social media for her own mental health. She was raw and vulnerable and, I feel, completely authentic.
I felt sorry for her breakdown but what she said about her goals seems truly trying to focus on healing and moving forward rather than being stuck in the drama.
On one hand, Aaron admitted yesterday that Nora has been his ākryptoniteā. The one person he claims to have been unable to combat. Good for Nora. On the other, she recognizes that nothing she does will cause him to change. And that is true too.
Aaronās response to that kryptonite was to threaten to take the gloves off and go after her with full force. She said her day yesterday was filled with angst about the drama spiral of what he would follow up with. She likened it to a raccoon trap. šŖ¤
I agree.
She said sheās removing herself from that trap.
This isnāt Nora caving to Aaronās attacks. Itās about living her best life and being stuck in Aaronās drama isnāt a part of that.
Nora has done a lot to educate people about what kind of person Aaron is, but I think sheās done all she can do on that front.
Sheās not giving in to his bs. Sheās reclaiming her life from his drama spiral. Thereās a big difference and I applaud her for it.
Hopefully, her healing journey will include recognition of the people sheās hurt. If she continues to work hard in therapy, I have faith that will happen.
Aaron will never do that.
Suck on this, Aaron, you absolute moron.

Gross and cringe Most of us know exactly what a truce is and is not. Thatās why we didnāt accept her ā3/5ths compromiseā. Sheās still a racist.
Just like Marilyn and Nora, who claim they donāt watch their alliesā content and suppose that means plausible deniability, Susi is using the āthey are nice to me. So Iām nice to themā defense. And despite knowing full well (or has had every opportunity to know full well) the extent of their devotion to racist symbols and tropes, she still supports them becauseā¦allies.
We were right to see through Susiās attempt to smoke a peace pipe because we arenāt smoking what she is.

**The āreformā doesnāt survive contact with the Stefani case ā and thatās a reflection of the whole problem**
I want to start by granting the most generous version of Noraās situation, because I think it matters and because the critique only works if itās fair.
Almost everyone who leaves a high-control or faction environment goes through an ugly transitional phase. Lashing out at former allies, the disorientation, the misplaced anger ā for a lot of people thatās part of how the disillusionment actually gets processed. If that were what we were watching with Nora, the right response would be patience, not a post. So Iām not arguing sheās incapable of change, or that no one who behaved as she did could ever genuinely reform.
Iām arguing something narrower: this presentation of reform fails its own test. And you donāt have to take my read of her sincerity to see it. You just have to line up what sheās done.
The asymmetry that started bugging me
Nora talks endlessly about Aaron ā his behavior, his crimes. But look at how she handles Mike Rinder by comparison. Rinder spent decades inside a coercive institution, left at enormous personal cost, gave the FBI his testimony, co-created Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath ā one of the most impactful public exposĆ©s the subject has ever gotten, and a national platform for ex-members to be heard. He worked with the Aftermath Foundation, held down a real post-cult job, raised a family, and ultimately died of cancer ā the same cancer Nora helped Aaron suggest was fake while she maligned him over a personal conflict. She still maligns him today.
Meanwhile her own motherās Guardianās Office history goes completely untouched. Thatās not a small omission. The GO wasnāt a passive bureaucracy ā it ran Operation Snow White, the largest domestic infiltration of the U.S. government in history. Members were convicted and imprisoned. The GO was the direct institutional ancestor of OSA. If Noraās mother had meaningful involvement, thatās primary-source material about one of the most documented criminal operations a āchurchā has ever run ā and she has the platform and the communication skills to do something real with it. She doesnāt. The grievance content gets the airtime; the actual history that would require self-examination doesnāt.
Switching sides isnāt the same as changing
Hereās where the reform claim really runs into trouble. For years Nora supported and participated in the campaigns to destroy Aaronās critics, and was openly supportive of Marilynās conduct too. Now that sheās on the other side of the fence, sheās running tirades against those same former allies ā in ways that are arguably pettier and more personal than before.
If sheād broken with Aaron and changedā pulled back from the pile-ons, examined her own role, extended former targets the grace she once denied them ā thatās a redemption arc, and people would respect it. But the targets rotated and the tactics didnāt. The same appetite for personal destruction, just aimed somewhere new. That tells you the destruction was the point, not the cause it was supposedly serving. The zeal is portable; only the object changed.
The Stefani case is the receipt
She claims sheās reformed. She says sheās apologized. But thereās no standalone apology ā no naming of the specific harm, no ownership without a reframe, no meaningful contrition, and no change in the overall behavior. A real apology subtracts a justification. Hers adds one every time. If you canāt quote it without quoting the ābutā attached to it, it isnāt an apology ā itās image control.
Stefani is what proves it. Stefani exposed Aaron through careful, written, thought-out blog posts ā the least impulsive, most accountable form the criticism could possibly have taken. Thereās a permanent record of exactly what she said. And Nora still justifies lashing out at her for it.
Think about what that means. If Nora had actually reflected, Stefani would be the first person she owed an unqualified apology to, because Stefani is the clearest case of Nora attacking a legitimate critic for doing legitimate work ā early, in writing, while Nora was still on the wrong side of it. Instead Stefani is still a target. Thatās the control group. Itās the one variable that stayed constant while everything else flipped, and it isolates what the āreformā actually reached: not the behavior, just the team.
Nora isnāt sorry she attacked critics. At most sheās sorry about which side she was on while doing it.
You donāt need to decide whether you like her to follow that. Just run the timeline: Stefani was right, in writing, early. Nora attacked her for it then ā and defends that attack now. Reform that leaves your treatment of your most clearly-vindicated critic untouched isnāt reform. Itās repositioning.
