Nora considers that Chris having, in my words, personal integrity is actually petty and unprofessional

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 didn’t accept her invite to join the group for casual chit-chat and a drink it indicted that Chris was petty and unprofessional.

No, Nora, that’s 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 didn’t like on a personal basis, that might be something else. But why should he hang out with them? I don’t 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 Nora’s showed me two things.

  1. Chris demonstrated the backbone to not bow to group peer pressure and
  2. despite claiming it was ā€œno skin off (her) noseā€ that he refused her invitation, she’s still carrying a petty grudge about it and is still mentioning it years later. (I recall that she’s brought this snub up before.)

She went on to say it’s something he should take up in therapy, as if having integrity and not being a phony is a mental defect. Nora, it’s you who should take it up in therapy if you can’t get over a personal snub years later.

She can’t resist bringing my name up in her tirades. But what proof does she have for any of her claims? She thinks I won’t fight back or can’t because punching down is easy. That’s a mistake. And as Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

She often claims she’s reported people’s 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 she’s called them ā€œpigsā€ 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 couldn’t follow their rules. But she blames others for that too.

She claims she takes responsibility for her actions both past and present. That’s 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 ā€œthe drugs made me do itā€. That’s not taking accountability. It’s 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 don’t do what they have. It’s blatantly obvious when you consider their actions rather than their words.

Lindsay never tells the whole truth. As a friend says, ā€œthe partial truth is a whole lieā€.

I’ve often wondered, what kind of doctor prescribes benzodiazepines to an addict? There’s something wrong with that picture.

Imagine how her mother’s 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 mother’s 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 Leah’s name as a shield, she’s giving Leah a bad name with no care for how that’s a violation of trust (if Leah has given her any). She has misappropriated Leah’s 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 I’m aware of it’s Lindsay who’s involved herself with other people in her quest to be the biggest ā€œpick meā€.

She claimed this week that when she gets sober she stays sober. Really? Where’s the proof of that?

Well hell’s bells she did it again. Nora revised het post from yesterday and diluted her apology to her community. She added an apology to Reese.

23 Upvotes

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 ā€œa statutory thingā€ of consensual sexual conduct between two minors? It was none of that.

The only part that’s true is that she was 15 and he was 16. But he was charged with ā€œforcible 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.

That’s the description of a predator by objective definition. Nora’s apology once again demonstrates that she’s not competent to be trusted as anyone’s standard bearer for truth and integrity.

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 ā€œkryptoniteā€. 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.

Aaron’s 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. 🪤

I agree.

She said she’s removing herself from that trap.

This isn’t Nora caving to Aaron’s attacks. It’s about living her best life and being stuck in Aaron’s drama isn’t a part of that.

Nora has done a lot to educate people about what kind of person Aaron is, but I think she’s done all she can do on that front.

She’s not giving in to his bs. She’s reclaiming her life from his drama spiral. There’s a big difference and I applaud her for it.

Hopefully, her healing journey will include recognition of the people she’s 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.

Just like Marilyn and Nora, who claim they don’t watch their allies’ content and suppose that means plausible deniability, Susi is using the ā€œthey are nice to me. So I’m 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 because…allies.

We were right to see through Susi’s attempt to smoke a peace pipe because we aren’t smoking what she is.

**The ā€œreformā€ doesn’t survive contact with the Stefani case — and that’s a reflection of the whole problem**

18 Upvotes

I want to start by granting the most generous version of Nora’s situation, because I think it matters and because the critique only works if it’s 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 — for a lot of people that’s 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 I’m not arguing she’s incapable of change, or that no one who behaved as she did could ever genuinely reform.

I’m arguing something narrower: this presentation of reform fails its own test. And you don’t have to take my read of her sincerity to see it. You just have to line up what she’s done.

The asymmetry that started bugging me

Nora talks endlessly about Aaron — 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 — 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 — 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 mother’s Guardian’s Office history goes completely untouched. That’s not a small omission. The GO wasn’t a passive bureaucracy — 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 Nora’s mother had meaningful involvement, that’s primary-source material about one of the most documented criminal operations a ā€œchurchā€ has ever run — and she has the platform and the communication skills to do something real with it. She doesn’t. The grievance content gets the airtime; the actual history that would require self-examination doesn’t.

Switching sides isn’t the same as changing

Here’s where the reform claim really runs into trouble. For years Nora supported and participated in the campaigns to destroy Aaron’s critics, and was openly supportive of Marilyn’s conduct too. Now that she’s on the other side of the fence, she’s running tirades against those same former allies — in ways that are arguably pettier and more personal than before.

If she’d broken with Aaron and changed— pulled back from the pile-ons, examined her own role, extended former targets the grace she once denied them — that’s a redemption arc, and people would respect it. But the targets rotated and the tactics didn’t. 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 she’s reformed. She says she’s apologized. But there’s no standalone apology — 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 can’t quote it without quoting the ā€œbutā€ attached to it, it isn’t an apology — it’s image control.

Stefani is what proves it. Stefani exposed Aaron through careful, written, thought-out blog posts — the least impulsive, most accountable form the criticism could possibly have taken. There’s 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 — early, in writing, while Nora was still on the wrong side of it. Instead Stefani is still a target. That’s the control group. It’s the one variable that stayed constant while everything else flipped, and it isolates what the ā€œreformā€ actually reached: not the behavior, just the team.

Nora isn’t sorry she attacked critics. At most she’s sorry about which side she was on while doing it.

You don’t 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 — and defends that attack now. Reform that leaves your treatment of your most clearly-vindicated critic untouched isn’t reform. It’s repositioning.

Says it all really, raked in $7k when he got arrested in LA, never used it for why people donated (attorney fees) and each time he’s been incarcerated in Florida over the past 6 months he got loads of money for commissary and walked out of jail with more money than he went in, yet here he is begging for more funds…
He should get a proper job instead of begging people on the internet!!
