Brad Pitt twinned with 15-year-old girl and spent hours with her in sauna during Scientology stint, says source
Brad Pitt's brief stint as a member of the Church of Scientology was none too pleasant for the actor, and recent reports reveal that the actor was paired with a 15-year-old teenager, who was assigned to be his study partner as the two underwent the intensive classes required as part of the controversial religious organization's procedures. As Pitt 'twinned' with the teen, however, there have been no reports of any wrongdoing on his part.
Brad Pitt's time during his three-year stint as a Scientology member was, by all reports, an uncomfortable experience for the actor. He was assigned a teenage girl to be his "buddy", who would spend hours with him in a sauna for a Purification Rundown, meant to purify the body, according to an ex-Portland member. Pitt also stormed out of the classroom once after his former supervisor, Michael Mallen, "insulted the s**t out" of him.
According to the Sun, Mallen said that "Brad was doing the Therapeutic TRs course. TRs are short for Training Routines devised by Hubbard (L Ron). The first TR involves you sitting across from another person with eyes closed for some time. Then you look at another person with eyes open for two hours. Once you pass that drill, you go into what's called bullbaiting. The 'coach' tries to get the student to react by pushing the student's 'buttons'."
"That’s what I did with Brad Pitt. I did it mercilessly, insulting the s**t out of him. His then-girlfriend Juliette Lewis was there," Mallen continued. "He got so pissed off, he walked out of the trailer and just split. Juliette had to rescue him; he just needed to cool off. I guess no one had bullbaited him before. I was going pretty hard on him, but that's the whole point, to get the person where they're no longer reacting and can comfortably be there. She got him back, talked to him. No one wants a celebrity to leave. If he hadn't come back, I'd have been in big trouble."
Brad Pitt, who began dating Juliette Lewis when she was 17 and he was 27, ended the relationship with her after three years. Lewis is still a member of the Church of Scientology, while Pitt was a member of the Church from 1991 to 1993. The girl who was "twinned" with Brad Pitt remains unnamed, though a former member of the Church claims that she was the daughter of two loyal Scientologists.
According to the Sun's unnamed source, "I was being trained up to be a course supervisor, so was sent to Celebrity Center Portland for training. While I was there I met the teenage daughter of the Executive Director of a Portland-based Scientology company. One of the things she told me was that Brad Pitt, who was dating Scientologist Juliette Lewis at the time, did the Purification Rundown at Celebrity Center Portland. He did it there to keep out of the public eye. Since she was the daughter of an established Scientologist she was chosen to be Pitt’s twin."
"It was around 1992 and she was about 15 when this happened," they added, claiming that her parents felt that she would be completely safe around Brad Pitt, and there have been no reports to the contrary. Brad Pitt left the Church in 1993 after completing a ’Special course in human evaluation’, and he hasn't returned, since.
