The Scientology leader’s niece claims the “cult” destroyed her marriage in explosive new videos

The niece of Scientology leader David Miscavige has blamed the organization for the destruction of her marriage in a bombshell video series filled with explosive allegations.

Jenna Miscavige, 40, blames what she calls the “cult” of the Church of Scientology as she reveals shocking details about the breakdown of her marriage.

Jenna divorced her husband Dallas Hill, 44, last year and now lives in California with their 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 that her marriage had been unable to recover from the distrust sown by the spy network that she said the organization had infiltrated into her life.

The Church of Scientology “has done its best to make our lives hell,” she says. The church denied all of her allegations in a statement to DailyMail.com.

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 human trafficking allegations.

A church spokesman previously denied the allegations, calling them “absurd, ridiculous, bizarre and patently false.”

After leaving the organization, Jenna became one of its most vocal critics and published bestselling memoirs titled My Secret Life in Scientology and My Harrowing Escape.

She met her future husband Dallas as a child at a boarding school in Florida, where the two trained to become members of Scientology’s Sea Organization. She claims they had to work strenuously 14 hours a day, seven days a week.

Her husband, initially hesitant, left her at the last minute – even after allegedly collaborating with other Scientologists to oust her and save his status. Hill did not respond to DailyMail.com when asked about Jenna’s claims.

She claims she and her husband were “persecuted by Scientology for years” and that the organization “introduced spies into our lives.” She says this has created a painful web of mistrust and paranoia, especially when it intersects with her family’s complex ties to the church.

She also accused Dallas’ family of reporting on her and leaking information about her to Scientology.

‘[This] “It continued for many years and it really created a big rift in the family,” she said.

‘[It] made it very difficult to be happy and move on with life after leaving Scientology.’

After they finally left the church in 2005, Jenna became a vocal critic of the religion and published a bestselling memoir titled My Secret Life in Scientology and My Harrowing Escape. Here she is seen with the couple's two children, now 12 and 15 years old

“I was like the black sheep.

“Scientology has cut me and Dallas off from many people, even though we tried to tell them all the terrible things Scientology did.”

“Dallas choosing Scientology or his family over me created a whole kind of tension that just never really went away,” she said in the footage.

“I just wanted to tell the story because Scientology has made it so difficult for us to get married, stay faithful to each other and have happy times together.”

“And even when we were gone, they did their best to make our lives hell,” she says.

“There were so many problems in the family that I couldn’t recover from after so many years – and, um, honestly, that’s why Scientology destroyed my marriage.”

Hill and Jenna separated last year due to tensions she said arose from the organization, which she said helped hinder their relationship in the years following her departure in 2005. They continue to get along well after meeting in the labor camp as teenagers

In other videos, she claimed that as a child, instead of receiving an education, she carried rocks in a chain gang while isolated from her parents.

Her parents, Ron and Bitty, left the church in 2000 when she was still 16 and enrolled in a labor camp.

Both Sea Org members wanted Jenna to go too – but she says she refused because she was isolated, because she hadn’t seen them in years, and because her only relatives at the time were Scientologists Center.

Jenna has 28 videos on her channel, most of which have been posted in the last few weeks as she continues to criticize the organization in which she grew up.

One of the most recent videos in which she attacks the religion made famous by John Travolta and Tom Cruise is titled “Scientology Ruined My Life.”

She began 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 20 years ago. He has since become a prominent critic of the church and has his own YouTube channel.

Smith Levin was also previously accused of conspiring to illegally hack church computers and appeared in press reports in 2022 about an alleged incident in Clearwater in which he was accused of using a vulgar insult on a woman. Her boyfriend responded by punching him in the face, Florida Politics reported.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, no one was charged and he blamed the incident at the time on the stress of leaving church.
