Stassi Schroeder drops major bombshells in her upcoming tell-all book which hits the shelves on April 16.
Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook offers girls advice on the importance of taking an extra pair of panties on a date and spills the tea on some of Stassi’s most bizarre experiences.
One of which completely astounded us all.
The Vanderpump Rules star surprisingly opened up to her fans about how she had a secret Scientology membership, according to Radar Online. (gasps)
Apparently, she got a taste of the church after her then-BF Jax Taylor did a commercial for them. Following his gig they asked the couple to come in for a visit.
“My closest run-in with an actual cult was Jax Taylor’s fault,” the Bravo favorite spilled about her current co-star.
Stassi, who is now 30, said she was only 22 and had just moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career when Jax told her about the … opportunity.
“I talked to them about you, and they want us to come in and consider Scientology,” Jax apparently told her at the time.
She claims that at that moment she was hysterical with laughter.
“I was like, ‘Dude, are we talking about the science fiction, L. Ron Hubbard, alien movie, Tom-Cruise-couch-jumping religion?’ He said yes.” she wrote.
“Jax was never the sharpest tool in the shed. I told him he was out of his freaking mind.”
But she revealed that they decided to check it out anyway, so I think that makes two not very sharp tools, but hey what’s the harm in trying before buying?
Besides the fact that they could brainwash you with their abusive practices, separate you from your family and disregard all of your human rights.
“When we went to the Scientology center we met with Tom Cruise’s mentor,” she explained.
“The guy threw out Tom Cruises name like four hundred million times to make sure we knew who we were dealing with,” she said about her visit to the church where Cruise is easily the most popular member.
Many other celebs — including John Travolta and Kirstie Alley — are also members.
“After our weird-a** office visit, he walked us around the building and everyone we saw was in the happiest mood. It was … like a cult.”
Yes, so they say.
But despite the obvious red flags, they remained at the center and continued to learn more.
“Then Tom Cruise’s mentor said Jax and I were going to be separated, and he took me into a room alone to watch a video that involved a kid eating a boiled egg and then witnessing a car accident,” she continued.
After she watched the odd video she was persuaded into joining Cruise’s religion.
“Tom Cruise’s mentor convinced us to pay $100 (each!) for a textbook, and then took us to ‘class’, which was a room full of people of all ages, all sitting silently with their $100 textbooks.”
She then explained how it was for some reason forbidden to eat or drink for “several hours” before a class, which was the breaking point for the boozy young wanna-be starlet.
We’re just happy her vodka was on the line or else who knows where she would be today.
After a “creepy” teacher told Jax to “communicate with the aliens,” the former couple decided to split and cut all ties with the church.
Stassi, however, admitted that she still has her textbook and her membership card because “it’s like a collector’s item.”
Thank God Stassi found her way into Lisa Vanderpump’s arms.
She is much better off being the darling queen of wit and drama on the hit Bravo show than wrapped up in one of Hollywood’s most popular yet controversial belief systems.
Can’t wait to see what other secrets Stassi will spill in her upcoming book, although nothing can really top that disturbing confession.
