WILL SMITH DONATES THOUSANDS TO SCIENTOLOGY

Will Smith claims he’s not a Scientologist.

That’s odd considering that a new report on his charitable foundation’s tax return shows that the Seven Pounds actor donated $122 500 to the cult’s infamous church.

He also gave a combined $122,500 to the Church of Scientology, broken into these donations: $67,500 to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxication Fund, $50,000 to the group’s Celebrity Center in Hollywood and $5,000 to ABLE, another Scientology offshoot. Smith and his wife have also supported a private school called New Village Academy they opened this fall in suburban Los Angeles that uses Scientology learning concepts.

Goes to show that blackmail is an effective fundraising method.

    Who cares what he chooses to donate to. Convenient that you didn’t post that he actually donated more money to another Christian church.

    Since when is discrimination based on religion the “in” thing? How horrible, he’s donating money to charities.

    Does the theory of those male celebrities who are into Scientology are gays still hold true?

    fox news is NOT reliable and even if it was, who cares where his donations go to?

    Another closet case protected by that CULT. Maybe he had to join so him and Tommy can do it in some private Chamber of Thetan Love.

    Perhaps Fox news is not reliable I agree, but Jada and Wills website states (The New Village Academy) that they wil be teaching L. Ron Hubbard Scientology tech in their schools. AND yes Will did donate that money to Scientology and Scientology front groups.
    Will and Jada will also be building a sister companion school that will teach the same tech. AND there are Scientologists on staff as teachers. SO….. like it or not Will is a Scientologist.

    ANd The news was EVERYWHERE, not just Fox news. Google Will Smith donates to Scientology and you will see its true! Read it and weep!
