Kathy Haggis Continues to Disown Brother Paul

Church of Scientology's counter-PR push against HBO doc Going Clear includes damning interview with filmmaker's younger sister.

The Church of Scientology’s counter-PR campaign against Going Clear, the documentary debuting Sunday night on HBO, has two main prongs: Twitter account @FreedomEthics and a dedicated section on the Freedom magazine website tagged, simply, “HBO.”

One of the people helping the Church lead the charge against the documentary is Kathy Haggis, younger sister of Paul Haggis. The writer-director has been front and center all along here, from the 2011 New Yorker article by Lawrence Wright, to the follow-on book, to this weekend’s Alex Gibney HBO adaptation.

If you think what Kathy says about Paul in the March video above is shocking, there’s plenty more where that came from.
