(46,038 posts)8. "The Church" exploited John Travolta when he was at his most vulnerable.
His fiancee, Diana Hyland, died in his arms from breast cancer more than three decades ago. I can understand being lost spiritually and Scientology filled the gap in his life. And like a cult, they made him dependent upon them for stability and "vision". It's hard to walk away from a cult generally, even harder when it's a well organized cult like Scientology.
