TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN: Netflix will unravel shocking truths about Jeff and Shaleia Ayan's cult-like group 'Twin Flames Universe'. However, multiple former members were victims of Jeff and Shaleia's alleged scam.

Jeff and Shaleia's 'Twin Flames Universe' had been accused of promoting stalking and "pressures people into transitioning" as part of its "exploitative" cult-like presence, per Daily Mail. However, it seems like the lawsuit is still pending in the court as the victims await a hearing.

Meanwhile, after Jeff and Shaleia got exposed, they allegedly threatened former spirituality students with "bankruptcy" and "jail time" if they didn't back their comments.

For the unaware, the 'Twin Flames Universe' is an online spiritual community that offers virtual tutorials, workshops and therapy sessions designed to lead people to their "twin flame."

After an investigative expose revealed the workings of 'Twin Flames Universe', Jeff and Shaleia sent a threatening letter to the former students which issued threats of life-ruining consequences for those accusing the group of family separations, unpaid labor, and a host of other cult-like practices.

According to VICE, the letter accuses the ex-students of bullying, slander, and "cyber-violence." Jeff and Shaleia also claimed that ex-members would end up "bankrupt" and in jail unless they took back their statements and deleted all negative comments.

Jeff Ayan 'absolutely and unequivocally' denies accusations presented in lawsuit

After multiple serious accusations against 'Twin Flames Universe', Jeff Ayan broke his silence. Jeff and Shaleia have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and have instead stated that they find "immense joy in helping others heal and grow spiritually."

Addressing accusations of "forced gender reassignments", Jeff claimed the organization "absolutely and unequivocally" does not do that. Meanwhile, the Twin Flames Universe's website issued a response to the swirling accusations.

The website alleged, "The small number of disgruntled former students ultimately became disillusioned and hostile when they began uncovering some of their own core inner blocks through the program."

The statement continued, "In order to avoid confronting their own discomfort, these disgruntled students chose to create wholly false narratives, essentially claiming that Jeff and Shaleia were egomaniacal cult leaders, who use Twin Flames as a tool to manipulate people and who take pleasure in destroying the lives of those who disagree with them..."

They added, "The disgruntled former students were willing to fabricate any support for their stories, including by lying, acting, distorting, withholding critical information, and taking quotes completely out of context to weaponize them against Jeff and Shaleia and Twin Flames Universe."
