Things keep getting stranger and stranger here in the Underground Bunker — and we love it! A couple of days ago, we posted a video of Scientology celebrities Jenna and Bodhi Elfman which was the latest in their series of what they call “Kicking and Screaming,” a series of short videos with the two of them talking about their lives.
Our readers were somewhat stunned by how open the two of them were about sex, and with how Jenna spoke about her husband and her kids. Obviously, the two of them were going for humor, but it came off strangely, and it was not hard to see a lot of animosity below the surface between the two of them, not only for each other but also for pretty much everyone else.
Was this really how Scientologists saw the world? Two former Scientologists who had an opinion about it were Mareka Brousseau and her sister Katrina James. They tell us that the Elfmans illustrated perfectly how celebrity Scientologists get away with things that would get non-celebrity Scientologists sent to ethics for interrogations. Like for talking publicly about how flaccid Bodhi’s member was as he and Jenna attempted to have sex in the bathroom with their kids pounding on the door.
