Karen de la Carriere has been keeping us updated on a situation she’s been facing with the Church of Scientology, and now that she’s resolved it, she’s ready to go public.
Some time ago, she received notices from Scientology attorney Gary Soter that she was in some kind of violation of some sort because of videos she had posted at her YouTube. She says that she receives threat letters from Soter about once a year, and so she passed it on to her attorney without even reading it this time.
But Soter was apparently serious, and complained to YouTube, which initially took down some videos at Karen’s “SurvivingScientology” page. But as she explains, she didn’t take it lying down.
We’ll let her explain what happened next…
Karen also provided documents to go with her video, which lay out the dispute. Dig in!
