I was a 'Queen of Scientology': President's wife reveals the Church's innermost secrets and why she was cast into darkness when she finally fled after 35 years

Karen de la Carriere, 70, (left) was a member of the Church of Scientology for 35 years. She was married to its President. She held a level of 'enlightenment' and a rank within its organization shared by only a handful of others. She was one of its 'rock stars' and John Travolta would play with her son, Alex, (top right) But when she left in 2010 she was branded a 'Suppressive Person', cast out, harassed and cut off from her son (bottom right at his wedding) so completely that, when he died in 2012, she learned of his passing via a Facebook posting by a stranger. Now, for the first time, she has given her full and excoriating account and shared a treasure trove of previously unseen pictures from her time inside the secretive organization.
