The niece of Scientology leader David Miscavige has blamed the organization for destroying her marriage in a series of videos packed with explosive accusations.
Jenna Miscavige, 40, blames what she calls the Church of Scientology ‘cult’ as she reveals chilling details about the collapse of her marriage.
Jenna divorced her husband, Dallas Hill, 44, last year and now lives in California with her two children. The couple both grew up in the Church of Scientology and met there as children before leaving in 2005.
In the video, the mother of two claimed her marriage could not recover from the mistrust sown by the web of spies she claims the organization brought into her life.
The Church of Scientology “has gone out of its way to make life hell for us,” she says. The church denied all her allegations in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Jenna Miscavige, the 40-year-old daughter of David Miscavige’s older brother Ron, quietly divorced her husband, Dallas Hill, last year and now lives in California with her two children
The couple had met as children while attending boarding school in Florida, where they trained to become members of the church’s Sea Organization, which she claims required them to work grueling 14-hour days, seven days a week .
Jenna is the daughter of Elizabeth ‘Bitty’ Miscavige and Ron Miscavige Jr, the older brother of controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige. Ron left the church in 2000, while David faced a series of lawsuits, including allegations of human trafficking.
A Church spokesperson previously denied the allegations, calling them “absurd, ridiculous, crude and blatantly false.”
Meanwhile, after Jenna left the organization, she became one of its most outspoken critics, publishing a best-selling memoir titled “My Secret Life Inside Scientology” and “My Harrowing Escape.”
She met her future husband, Dallas, as a child at a boarding school in Florida, where the couple trained to become members of the Scientology Sea Organization. She claims they were forced to work grueling 14-hour days, seven days a week.
Her husband, initially hesitant, left with her at the last minute – even after reportedly working with other Scientologists to have her deposed and save his status. Hill did not respond to DailyMail.com when asked about Jenna’s claims.
She claims that she and her husband were “followed by Scientology for years,” and that the organization “brought spies into our lives.” She says this created a painful web of mistrust and paranoia, especially when it overlapped with their family’s complex ties to the church.
She also accused Dallas’ family of reporting and giving information about them to Scientology.
‘[This] It went on for many years, and it really created a huge rift within the family,” she said.
‘[It] made it very difficult to be happy after leaving Scientology and moving on with life.”
After they eventually left the church in 2005, Jenna became an outspoken critic of the religion, publishing a best-selling memoir called My Secret Life inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape. She is seen here with the couple’s two children, now 12 and 15
‘I was like the black sheep.
“Scientology cut me and Dallas off from a lot of people, even though we tried to tell them all the horrible things Scientology had done.”
“It created a whole kind of tension around Dallas choosing Scientology or his family over me, which never really went away,” she said in the footage.
“I just wanted to tell the story because Scientology made it so difficult for us to get married, to be loyal to each other, to have happy times together.
“And even when we were gone, they still went out of their way to make our lives hell,” she says.
“So problems within the family that, just after so many years, were impossible to repair — and, um, honestly, that’s how Scientology destroyed my marriage.”
Raised on a ranch where children of high-ranking Scientologists train to follow in their parents’ footsteps, she has firsthand experience
Hill and Jenna split last year due to tension she said was created by the organization, which she said hampered their relationship in the years after their 2005 departure. They remain on good terms after meeting as teenagers in the labor camp.
In other videos, she claimed that as a child, instead of getting an education, she joined a chain gang while isolated from her parents.
Her parents, Ron and Bitty, left the church in 2000, when she was 16, and went to the labor camp.
Both members of the Sea Org, the couple, wanted Jenna to leave too – but she says she refused because of her isolation, the fact that she hadn’t seen them in years, and because her only loved ones at the time were Scientologists at the Sea Org. center.
Jenna has 28 videos on her channel, most posted in the past few weeks, in which she continues to criticize the organization she grew up in.
One of the recent videos, in which she attacks the religion infamously embraced by John Travolta and Tom Cruise, is titled “Scientology Ruined My Life.”
She started the series of videos in May with an interview with her new boyfriend Aaron Smith-Levin — another former Scientologist who left the church more than two decades ago. He has since become a prominent critic of the church and has his own YouTube channel.
Smith-Levin has also previously been accused of conspiring to illegally hack into church computers, and appeared in press reports in 2022 about an alleged incident in Clearwater in which he was accused of using vulgar insults against a woman. Her boyfriend responded by punching him in the face, Florida Politics reported.
No one was charged and at the time he blamed the incident on the stress of leaving the Church Tampa Bay Times.
