[David Miscavige, dapper ecclesiastical pontiff]Over the last couple of days, we’ve been telling you that David Miscavige is challenging a lawsuit that names him as a defendant. It’s the lawsuit that four women have filed against Scientologist actor Danny Masterson over allegations of violent rape, and also allegations that Miscavige and Scientology retaliated against them (as well as one of the women’s husbands) when they came forward to law enforcement in 2016.
