THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

MEDIA WATCH
You do a great disservice to all those who do their best to carry forward acts of help and decency throughout the world.
MEDIA WATCH
Seriously? Did your critic see the same network launch that I did? On the Scientology TV channel premiere I saw a new religion finding its own voice on the world stage.
MEDIA WATCH
Just read your crap piece on Elisabeth Moss and Scientology. It’s articles like this which damage your credibility as anything other than a trashy magazine. Swearing has nothing to do with Scientology.
MEDIA WATCH
And The Hollywood Reporter itself has a history of forwarding hate. In the 1940s and 50s, the publication was part and parcel of fomenting the anti-Communist campaign in Hollywood, where thousands of people were blacklisted in a witch hunt.
MEDIA WATCH
Dear Mr. Belloni, Once again, Seth Abramovitch chose to be totally disrespectful and biased in his reporting of Elisabeth Moss’s amazing talents and winning two of television’s most prestigious Emmy awards.
MEDIA WATCH
If his claim were true that dropping the F-bomb is a crucial part of the practice of Scientology, then he’s just swelled the ranks of practicing Scientologists to about 115 million in the U.S. alone. Since the F-bomb is the most important word in the argot of the 18-49 demographic, he has just made nearly every millennial out there a practicing Scientologist.
MEDIA WATCH
So your article must have been premeditated in order to jump on the former-Scientologist-loser-bandwagon with the use of the “F” word being the best you could come up with. For you, we’ll prescribe the “L” word.
MEDIA WATCH
If anything stands out as evidencing THR’s studied bias against members of the Church of Scientology it is Seth Abramovitch’s utterly shameful treatment of Elisabeth Moss (September 22).
MEDIA WATCH
While forwarding Remini’s assertion in your August 18 article that “Elizabeth Moss believes she can’t talk to me,” the facts now reveal that Remini has squelched Scientologists’ right to communicate by blocking their Twitter accounts. She also blocked Andy Clark of Esquire Magazine.
MEDIA WATCH
Leah Remini’s hatred has spawned over 500 death threats, bomb threats, and acts of violence. Perpetrators were prosecuted and jail terms were served. Her hate speech caused children to be bullied at schools, employees to be harassed at work, property to be destroyed, and people to be scared. That is her legacy. Is that to be yours?
