Surviving Scientology: One Woman's Escape and Ongoing Struggle.

Valerie Haney, a former member of Scientology's Sea Organization, who escaped from the organization in the trunk of a car, is facing the prospect of submitting herself to an internal "religious arbitration" proceeding after a court ruling granted Scientology's arbitration motion. Haney filed a lawsuit against Scientology in 2019 alleging kidnapping, stalking, and libel. However, the lawsuit has been forced into arbitration, which requires her to nominate an arbitrator. Haney has suggested names like Tom Cruise, Elisabeth Moss, and Jenna Elfman, drawing the ire of the church's attorneys.
