Sony tried to kill Will Smith Scientology story

Will Smith is a Scientologist
“This guy’s a Scientologist.”

Sony tried to pressure MSNBC.com into killing a story they had posted about Will Smith being a Scientologist. Supposedly execs are worried that any negative press about Smith will hurt his Summer blockbuster Hancock. A source told Defamer:

“After word got out that Will was a secret Scientologist, reps from Sony [the studio behind Hancock] completely flipped out, and asked that the online exclusive be taken down immediately. After being refused, Sony forced Smith to speak out and release a denial statement.”

The same source claims that Smith has secretly donated money to the church for years. After MSNBC posted the outing, Smith quickly issued a statement that denied he was a Scientologist — something that didn’t sit well with some in the church:

“After Smith’s Scientologist friends saw the denial today, they got incredibly pissed and some asked him, ‘you’re still gonna donate money, right?’” (Source)

Have you seen the price of spaceship fuel lately? Not to mention those things only get like seven galaxies to the gallon. So you can understand why they’d be a little concerned about Will still making donations. You do not want to run out of fuel on the dark side of Saturn. There aren’t any gas stations for like two light years.

    God, “seven galaxies to the gallon.” I thought you’d use your extensive knowledge of Star Wars or Star Trek. How about 30 parsec’s a liter?

    You know Nick, if they really want to travel to the heavens, all they have to do is open a worm hole by distorting the time-space continuum which would allow for a causality paradox. Or they could just shot themselves in the head.

  3. hm. and why don’t the scientologists have to disclose who donates to them? political parties do.

    A few weeks ago I was on a website that listed scientologists and the training courses they have taken and there was listed a William Smith. According to IMDB his first name is Willard. Not sure if it is him but this site also had Tom Cruise in it’s database.

    I found the link:

    Notice that it lists his full name as “William C. Smith” and according to the Internet movie database Will Smith’s middle name is Christopher. Coincidence?
