Closet Scientologists
Posted by Bossip Staff
Why O Why must they deny? Although Will and Jada’s say their new “academy” isn’t a Scientology institute, it sure does sound like one:
Called the New Village Academy, scheduled to open Sept. 3, the Calabassas, Calif.-based school will offer a curriculum of literacy and math, living skills, Spanish, karate, yoga, robotics, technology, etiquette and art that will be taught using the Scientology teaching method of study technology.
That’s not the only Scientology influence on campus though — many of the school’s teachers belong to the controversial church.
Yeah, that’s some “new” ish alright. Highly suspect indeed.
Uh oh…Could there be trouble on the homefront? Charlize Theron says she and Will fell in love while making “Hancock”
In Charlize’s words:
“We didn’t get the chance to work that much together and yet it took us all of about five minutes to really fall madly in love with each other,” Theron told the Daily Record. “We just hit it off instantly and were always messing around. There was something about me and him. We’re very similar people.”
Jada…Handle that.

He is playful,right? he is a hot member of “casualseek.com ” which is for casual encounter for romance. he has dated several hot girls on that club.
Will please listen to Aunt Viv and stay far far away!!!!
@ apple
Could you plz STFU? Thanks in advance.
jadas face is cute in that 1st pic
Oh well whatever makes them happy. You have to believe in something.
Tired of them already ….next!
I don’t like anything but Jesus…..
So what if they are. This is America and if that is the way they choose too worship then that is their business. Who are you Bossip to judge them. Maybe if you worshiped in some kind of way you wouldn’t be so negative.
Scientology sounds a little crazy…. but so does ANY religion really. I knoew one thing, that Jada puss must be the shit!
I was at the concert and the Smiths are an adorable couple!
Will ummmmmmmmmh ages beautifully just like a fine wine and he performed the Fresh Prince song which sent us all ballistic!!!!
the only downside of the concert other than ( Crackhouse and Razorlight) was CRACKHOUSE doing her crack dance and lifting her dress and flashing a nipple- which was not a good look at all!!!
I like them as a couple. They don’t have the right to monitor my beliefs and on that note I could give a damn about theirs.
Did I miss the part where Jada became a star? I guess marrying well gets you high places.
I guess to each his own if Will and Jada into that scientology crap thats on them, hopefully they will see it for what it really is one day. I still say that scientology crap only wants their money!
READ THIS NOW:
Will Smith’s school insists it’s not Scientologist
LOS ANGELES — Will Smith ’s soon-to-open private school is not a Scientology facility, as some reports have suggested, the academy’s director said.
Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have founded the New Village Academy, scheduled to open in September.
The school will use instructional methods developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard called study technology. And a few teachers belong to the church.
But the couple say they are not Scientologists, and the academy’s director insists the facility has no religious affiliation.
“We are a secular school, and just like all nonreligious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at school or pass on the beliefs of their particular faith to children,” New Village Academy director Jacqueline Olivier told the Los Angeles Times.
Oliver said some of the school’s staffers are Scientologists, Muslim, Christian or Jewish.
In addition to reading and math, the school offers classes on yoga, robotics and etiquette.

So what if he’s into scientology? What people believe in shouldn’t matter… Catholic, muslim, jewish etc. Who cares! Will Smith is a good dude and that’s all the should matter.
he is making so much loot now he need that school for the tax break. Oprah school of business
I agree with you Cyndi, they only want that money, and thats what they are getting from these celebs, all their money…..damn shame….well I wouldn’t send my kid their if they asked so thats on the parents that do.and if they think they won’t be taught any scientology they have to be kidding themselves….
At least he is doing something productive with his money
Did I miss the part where Jada became a star? I guess marrying well gets you high places.

Beautiful couple. I love the Smiths clan. Who cares?! Cuz I really don’t think they are into scientology.

Bossip is intentionally trying to start shit. He said he’s not a scientologist, he doesn’t promote it; WHY DO BLACK BLOGS ALWAYS DOWN BROS. EITHER WE’RE GAY, THUGS, AND NOW NUTTY RELIGIOUS FREAKS. Whose next, Obama. BLACK FOLKS STOP DESTROYING BROTHERS CHARACTERS!!!!!!!! Perez, Tmz, and Fox don’t need help.
*valid….I’m really sleepy 2day.
Who cares, but no history, science, P.E. or music?
A bit limited, don’t you think?
I think it’s great that they are opening a school…and it’s their business what or who they believe in….all i know is I believe in Jesus and the smiths can’t tell me not too…just like I can’t tell them who to worship…

If they were truly Scientologists, the Church of Scientology would not tolerate an A-list star member constantly denying affiliation. That is fact. Not to mention that you have to attend classes were? Oh yes, at the Church. Funny how no one seems to have a picutre of Will or Jada going in or out of the head church in LA.
That would be because they are not Scientoligists.
@Lauren
I can’t wait to see that movie. Is it me or is Will always trying to save the world, lol?
He might be running around as Hancock, but I know his secret identity is really Satan !

Okay, first off Ms. Blog Beefer, have you ever heard of someone being entiled to their own opinion, I wasn’t hatin on Jada anyway, if you wanna erspond to my comment then read the whole thing first, I was responding to someone else who insited that Jada wasn’t a star, I was correcting them saying that she was a model and an actress so GTFOH with your dumb ass cyber beef….no time.
@ Bree…hey girlie, u know I’m going to see my Philly Boy hold it down for 4th of July as always!
erspond= respond
Many have speculated that the school Will Smith and her husband, Jada, are opening in LA this September is really a Scientology indoctrination center.
In an LA Times report , the head mistress of HanCOCK’s school basically says the Scientology school front talk is nonsense.
She says the school’s teachers are of all religions and that one of the teaching methods the school will be employing (’study technology’) is erroneously attributed to Scientology. The school boss says, “People tend to think study technology is a subject, but it is really just the way the subject is taught. They then come to the conclusion that we are teaching Scientology when actually a methodology doesn’t have anything to do with content.”
The paper goes on to point out that critics argue Will’s school is not being honest about its links to Scientology.
David S. Touretzky, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, created a website that dissects study technology and asserts that in the case of the Smiths’ school, it is Scientology religion disguised as education.
The Prof said many phrases and concepts on the school’s website are specific to Scientology.
For example, the school lists a “Director of Qualifications” and another teacher who is an assistant in the “Qual” department. The “Qual,” said Touretzky, is where people who have completed a Scientology counseling, or “auditing,” session or a course in the Church of Scientology are tested by a qualifications teacher.
“There is no reputable educator anywhere who endorses [study technology],” said Touretzky, a critic of Scientology. “What happens is that children are inculcated with Scientology jargon and are led to regard L.R. Hubbard as an authority figure. They are laying the groundwork for later bringing people into Scientology.”
Ron Reynolds, executive director of the California Assn. of Private School Organizations, which represents primarily independent religious schools, tells the Times that all schools should strive for transparency.
“I know next to nothing about Scientology, but if you’re using some method or technology closely associated with Scientology and Scientology is characterized as a church or religious body, it raises a question if they proclaim themselves as other than religious,” Reynolds said.
He has not seen the school’s website but went on to say, “I don’t want to insinuate the school is failing to disclose anything. But as a matter of good practice, if a school has an affiliation, it would behoove it to expose it.”
If the critics are right, why do you have to be all shady, Will?
Did Tom put you up to this?
These two kinda getting on my nerves
Still not clear if Will and Jada are in fact scientologists, but the organization is definitely using them to advance their agenda. The speculation about the Smiths and their relationship with open scientologists only heightens public awareness. How fortune the organization if they get a free indoctrination school built by the Smiths. Don’t be fooled. Scientology is nothing like going to a Baptist church where you have freedom to choose. This is a real cult focused solely on sustaining itself financially and manipulating its members.
EITHER WAY THEY SUSPECT! I THINK THEY ARE DOWN WITH THAT GARBAGE AZZ RELIGION….AND IF THEY ARE FUK THEM!
I agree with Miami man. Although, this scientology stuff sounds like a cult to me. But hey these are the last days this is just one more crazy thing being fulfilled and in America you can believe in whoever you want to.
They are an adorable couple but two motha fuckin wierdos!
Whatever!
They are an adorable couple but two motha fuckin wierdos!
Whatever!
Charlize get your own man and leave Jada’s alone.Since when did it become “natural” that white women love and marry black men.Yeah I said it!!!!
Who cares what they practice? It’s not hurting anyone or forcing scientology on anyone. I actually like that they don’t talk about it. On the other hand, I’m gonna need Charlize Theron to pump her brakes..
Devil Will needs to ditch Jada and be wit Charlize
Charlize is so much better than Jada. UPGRADE!
Time for Will to upgrade.
Charlize is not trying to get with Will. Please. I fell in love with a person i had a meeting with last week. Thats just something you say when you really like someone and enjoy working with them. Trying to start some nonsense. Jada is much smarter than that to be fooled by this fuckery.
Will should go for Charlize
You people are cruel, I’d send all 9 of my children to that school, thats a recipe for success.
Charlize and Will should have kids
@Its6AM
What the hell are you doing online then?
Black blogs should HONOR people of color who raise their children, love their spouse, their family, and friends; and ride hard on those who act up. This is what Perez, Fox, and Tmz do; they HONOR Brad, Angelina, Clooney, Madonna, et al; black blogs tear down their stars for pleasure. WISE UP!!!!
@Dan- why the hate?
Charlize had better watch herself. Jada will cut a b!tch over Will. Believe that.
THEY WANT TO CONVERT YOU GULLABLE AZZ NIGGRZ…..BECAUSE YOUR MARKET SPENDING VALUE IZ LIKE 400.MIL SO FAR AND THE YEAR ISNT OVER! I DONT CARE WHAT NOBODY SAY YOU NIGGRZ GOT SOME MONEY… FUK THE BULLSHIT I KNOW THAT JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO SPEND!
I am not worried about it at all. At least they are trying to do something positive.
I think Will Smith thinks he is Tom Cruise sometimes. And I wish he would act like he looks, instead of acting stupid most of the time. As for Jada, They say she comes from the streets of Baltimore, So no comment. I wish them well. And I hope this is not true, their GrandMothers will turn in their graves if they deny Jesus.
i think jada will have to handle her biz ..when will was on the david letterman late show about a week ago, he was talking about Russia and it having the most beautiful ,blond, blue eyed woman God created..I couldnt help to think he was talking about Charlize for some reason and now she talking all side ways? uh huh ..
SOMETHING IS OFF WITH JADAS FACE…
AND WHY DO PEOPLE ACT SO FUNNY STYLE OVER SCIENTOLOGY..CHRISTIANITY AINT THAT MUCH OF A STEP UP…ITS ALL ABOUT BRAINWASHING AND LIES ANYWAY!
why is this such a big deal? so, what if he’s into scientology? like everyone else the man has a right to a religion and belief. let folkz live
@ Miami Man
There’s no hate. I just like Charlize more than Jada.
They are such a great couple
Whats up its 6am, hows it going 2 day
I know u aint got 9 kidz the way u be cussin them down south hoes out. lol
how many baby mommasssss???? lol hahahahaha
@ Miami Man
Perez, Fox, and Tmz DON’T HONOR Brad, Angelina, Clooney, Madonna, etc.
They pounce on them whenever they slip up and do weird stuff.
Yea, Will and Charlize would be such a great couple.
Christians need to chill out and realize that there are 5 billion other people on earth that are NOT Christian. Open your mind and get over it…then maybe you too can get paid like Will or hey…if you don’t open your mind…I will just collect your tithe money with TD Jakes and Creflo Dollar as I smile like Joel Osteen.
dan why do you say the same things over and over?
just curious
What is the big deal? If they want to be Scientologist then that is their business!!! It is another form of religion and they have every right to practice it and should not be ridiculed for it….
Oh yeah, and no matter what stupid rumors come out.. Will & Jada are going to be together 4 life……
wow what a shame our black ppl get fucked up in the head by hollywood. so sad. fuck all alien worshipping scientologist fuckin freaks ! creepy mutherfuckers
and now they are gunna use will’s status to bring kids into their cult through his school. real smartl. fuckin freaks, who joins a cult. thats fucked. ppl are fucked up!
For all those people who say that Jada is not a celebrity etc. you must be very young. Jada has been in a little over 20 movies and numerous sitcom. I’m 22 and some of her best movies for me was The Inkwell, Jason’s Lyrics, Set it off, Tales from the crypt movie, and even madagascar. She was already worth millions before even meeting Will and not to mention she has a succeful band too.
I can care less for the school because it is the parents that are sending their children there. I know I wouldn’t send my child there if I had one, but that’s just me. Scientology is not my belief and I’ve done research to conclude it’s nothing I would go close to.
HEY DAN WHO REALLY GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK JACKASS!
This is Jada’s fault. To rescue Will, need to rescue Jada.
Will and Jada are committed to being together forever. If Charlize Theron think she can have will than she will have to also have Jada and the kids with him becasue Jada is going nowhere. As for the Scientology, I’m already tired of it. If he is willing to sell his soul for some foolishness than so be it.
NO. Tom is the devil.
Will can believe what he wants but it kinda hurts me to see a black successful family seperate theirself from Jesus Christ.
Whatever.
Who cares if its scientology, damn if they trying to do some good for balck/ or underprivlage community then more power to them…
More then could be said bout some chritians doing!!
@ rachel & lil sis
WHAT!!! I guess you never heard of Christian schools. WOW.
@Rachael & Ll Sis
You don’t really believe that school is for black and underpriviledge kids do you? That school is going to be for people with money who have kids.
That school is going to be for people with money who have kids.

tom needs to shut up with his scientology stuff. he seems to be pushing it like the jehovah’s (no offense if anyone is a jehovah’s witness) i wish will and jada wouldnt go down that path!
even though you’ll never find a place (or a church) that is completely perfect, you cant knock the religion just because the people that follow it mess it up. its all man’s doing, and scientology is a religion created by man.
White women are always going after the black man who came up in life…
…am I the only one who noticed that Bossip was not among the blogs that got nominated for a BET award???? LMAO! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Who cares about Bossip??????????????
JJJ
Bossip was nominated for a BET award..do your homework
@ bree…
Oh! I missed the memo… well, they didn’t win anyway.
Sounds like another case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. They use a teaching model, that in my opions sounds fantastic, so what if it came from scientology, if they have a good teaching model good better than what we have in public schools. The Smith’s are creating something positive. Stop the crabs in the bucket syndrome. I seem to remember the “Ho sit down?” phrase being used when Rev. Wright and Ms. Angelo hating on the positive progress of Obama. So to all the nay sayer “HO SIT DOWN” let positivity be positive
this is one of THE MOST hateful sites i have ever seen….
why is scientology controversial? are they killin folk? are they sexin up young girls? what is the problem? somebody please tell me? did scientologist make the gas prices up? what??
@ lanette
I co-sign with you 100%.This blog is rubbish and is infested with haters. It is honestly the most hateful blog I’ve come across too.
Check out the next Will and Jada in my gravatar…the one, the only, my favourites Rihanna and Chris.
They are having a couple moment in the vehicle… awwww they look sooooo cute and happy.
off topic again… Will and Jada looks good in that main picture. Especially, Jada she looks good.
@lanette
If this is the most hateful site you’ve ever been on then you haven’t been anywhere. I think this is one of the most unhateful sites. I personally disagree with his choice in belief and there are those who personally disagree with mines. I understand that. The problem that I have is that when something new comes into Hollywood, others seems to try to follow. His roots has been believing in God and now, he want to believe in aliens? It’s so different from his up bringing. He’s got caught up in some crazy thinking. IT’S CRAZY. SORRY!
He is quite a guy!!! He was said to have a personal account on a Luxury online service RICHLOVING.COM for successful and celebs singles with his hot pictures and blog there. Quite a few hot girls and ladies wrote to him. I’ve been there for day, it seems the girls are not hard to hook up.
Will can do as he pleases but we have to peep the game. Scientology is a *cult*. It’s like the Amway of cults. A pyramid scheme set up to brain wash you and drain your mind and pockets dry. They don’t have a good standing in the black community so they’ve been courting black celebs for a long time. John Travolta and Tom Cruise haven’t been kissing Oprah’s feet for nothing. Generally I’m all for religious freedom but on top of that I’m for open education and Scientology doesn’t want their teachings to be free for all.

@lanette
You’re on the net so I’m sure you know how to google. I’ll give you a little list of major issues (and why) in Scientology and you can search for the rest look up Operation Clam Bake (I’m not kidding).
L. Ron Hubbards wife infiltrated the IRS with other Scientology members and spied on the financial records. Why? Because they seek out rich celebs who can afford to pay for the expensive classes and their clout will attract people.
Scientology members have died after strange situations after being refused medical treatment while in Scientology’s “care”. Why? Scientology is completely against Psychiatry to the point of comparing them to Nazi’s. Remember when Tom attacked Brook Shields?
Scientology divides families by telling members to push family members away that criticize the group. Calling them “Suppressive Persons” and banning them from contact. Why? Because cults are about control so why would they let anyone fill your head with common sense?
They blackmail their members who want to leave by using information given during “classes” against them. A lot of people with “issues” drugs, mental, sexual confusion look into Scientology for help. They think it’s confidential like talking to a doctor. Little do they know that if they try to leave they will remind them that they know and will tell.
Unlike most religions information about Scientology is not readily available for free and people who post it are attacked by the group. You’re supposed to pay for classes and some people have paid their lifes savings to the church for these classes. Yea people donate to their Church, Masjid, or Synogog but you don’t have to donate to learn about those religions.
Will smith went to the devil for comfort. Good for him.
fuck jesus christ. He never cared for humans. He only wants to glorify himself.
If you don’t realize that Christ is our lord savior, you’re going straight to hell…for eva eva? Foreva eva!
All the blessings that Will & Jada have they owe to God…not Ron Hubard or some man made religion.
Charlize Theron is from South africa, which makes her More Afrcan-American that all u fools
Just a thout use it dont use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man fuck that white ho
White bitches have wanted black men for CENTURIES and she sees that Will is happily married to Jada and that bitch wants to start running her fucking mouth. Fuck her
Will is an upwardly mobile black male, I am proud to see him throw off the shackles of the christianity fairytale.
Charlize would also be a worthy upgrade worth considering. He’s earned a shot at a woman of her quality.
Black, yet very well educated(Check me out!)
Will is an upwardly mobile black male, I am proud to see him throw off the shackles of the christianity fairytale.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
@ “Black”, yet very well educated
Yea he shook off the “christianity fairytale” for a cult that teaches that an alien ruler on another planet had an over population problem so he put the overflow on ships and brought them to Earth. Placed these aliens around valcanos and then blew them up. Their souls which L. Ron called “Thetans” are what cause sickness, mental issues, pain, and suffering. Scientology classes are supposed to teach their members to rid themselves of thetans.
Yea..you’re proud of that huh?
SMH
dont twist the facts now i’m down jesus our lord and savior all the way but i am also aware that i am in no position to argue someone elses religion and what they believe in so stop talking that shit about them and yes jada handle that!
woopie doooooo
Will and Jada are swingers. Always have been and always will be. That’s why the marriage is so strong and works so well. They fuck each other and whomever else they like at the moment. They don’t brag or flaunt it, but it’s so well known, cmon people keep up.
are ya’ll really tryna boycott will over this? be serious. one of the only 100% positive A -LIST brothers and yall wanna bring him down over some ol’ crazy isht. If he was a scientologist I dont think he would deny it. How foul is it to deny your faith?
I DONT BELIEVE IT. WILL & JADA SMITH ARE NOT SCIENTOLOGISTS.
I have a mixed bag of feelings about this-because once upon a time ‘white’ jesus was used as a tool to enslave black people. What I’d hope for is if Will and Jada wanted to have a school, then dissolve any phrasing that has any religious connotations to it, and truly make it a learning center that welcomes all children, and not one that seemingly indoctrinates christianity, islam, judaism, or scientology.
Test
