4. The Smiths Might Be Secret Scientologists
The Smiths, as well as church officials, have adamantly denied any involvement in the controversial Church of Scientology, but it’s hard to believe them given the wealth of connections the family has to the religion. Showbiz 411 reports that Smith’s former business partner, James Lassiter, warned him about the possibility of Scientology interfering with his career. A former principal at the school Smith and Pinkett Smith founded, the New Village Leadership Academy, told Radar Online that the curriculum is almost entirely Scientology-focused. The Smiths are BFFs with Tom Cruise. On top of all that, the whole dozen or so people who saw After Earth (2013) can pretty much confirm that it’s essentially a Scientology propaganda film, featuring so many of the ideas, ideals, and beliefs from the church in the movie.
