    Bryan,

    You sentt a letter at th


    he last minutte—when it was late in tthe evening in Los Angeeles—with aan
    unreason nable deadlin ne. I am answwering to maake a record that Seven N
    Network conntinues to prrove
    it is violaating the Ausstralian Broaadcasting Co
    ode.

    Once agaain you havee proven thatt you are parrt of a biasedd anti-religioous/anti-Scieentology group.
    It is amazzing that a leetter I send to
    t the CEO of
    o a companyy co-owned by Disney eends up in Toony
    Ortega’s hands and yours.
    y

    Both of you,
    y along withw Leah Reemini and Miike Rinder, hhave one ageenda and onne agenda aloone:
    to spread
    d hate and religious intolerance abou
    ut Scientologgy for profit. There has bbeen one resuult—
    violence toward our parishioners
    p s and Church
    h.

    The Chuurch in Austtralia is coo


    operating wiith law enfoorcement an
    nd it would b
    be
    inapprop
    priate to an
    nswer your questions.
    q

    As to thiss most recen


    nt tragedy, it follows a diistinct trend of hate and violence inccited by Leahh
    Remini and
    a her realitty televisionn program. WeW repeatedlyy warned A& &E that sincce the launchh of
    Leah Rem mini’s hate campaign
    c annd this seriess, there have been more tthan 600 threeats directedd
    against our
    o Churchess, including specific
    s threeats to assasssinate the leaader of our religion. Thee
    number ofo threats is unprecedent
    u ted. Leah Reemini has mootivated vile threats and criminal
    assaults, including:

     A wooman drove a car through h the front doors


    d of the CChurch of Sccientology oof Austin, Teexas,
    stopp
    ping just shorrt of the nursery. The wo oman calledd Leah Reminni “a true insspiration!!” and
    whenn informed thhat no one was
    w hurt, her response waas “That’s tooo bad.” (She was proseccuted
    and found
    f guilty of felony criiminal misch hief at a placce of worshiip.)

     
    The
      Seveen Network 2 JJanuary 13, 22019

     A maan with an arrsenal of gunns and policee insignia waas jailed for threatening to “assassinnate”
    our Church
    C leadeer. When queestioned by authorities,
    a tthe man saidd one of the iinspirations for
    his th
    hreats was “tthe King of Queens
    Q lady
    y.” [Leah Rem mini] (He w was jailed forr multiple
    felon
    nies.)

     A maan smashed thet front win ndow of the Church of S Scientology U U.S. headquarters and
    threattened to kill the leader of
    o our religio
    on. He was aarrested, placced under maandatory meental
    healthh supervision and conviccted of felonnies for the vvandalism annd the threat. Yet, Leah
    Remiini put this criminal
    c on her
    h show afteer his convicction and gavve him a plaatform to sprread
    his haate.

    We have whistleblowers who havee reported thaat the produccers coach paaid sources too exaggerate,,
    distort or lie about theeir experiencees with the Church.
    C No onne should tollerate hate sppeech generaating
    violence. Our warniings that “liives are bein ng endangerred” were b blatantly ign nored. A&E E’s
    program m stirs up reeligious intolerance, hattred and vioolence again nst innocentt people. N Now a
    young man
    m just starrting out in life has beeen killed.

    Stop parrticipating in
    n a hate cam
    mpaign, Bryaan. You, tooo, are puttin
    ng lives at rrisk.

    Sincerely
    y,
