in Shows by

Married At First Sight’s Sonia Granados and Nick Pendergrast file for divorceSad news in the divorce world, one of the Married at First couples from last season has called it quits. Sonia Granados and Nick Pendergrast are filing for divorce. The pair announced the news in a joint statement via Twitter on Wednesday, March 22. This couple had a rough time during during the first few weeks of their marriage experiment. Although, it appeared that they would be getting divorced at the end of the season, they decided to stay together and work it out.

The statement that the ex-couple posted on Twitter was a very sweet statement. The statement read, “We are sad to share that after almost a year of marriage we have decided to separate and file for divorce,” the statement read. “Thank you in advance for your love and support through this difficult time! We look forward to growing and continuing to learn about ourselves from what we still consider to be a meaningful experience with MAFS”. Granados prefaced the posted statement with her own statement. “Don’t be discouraged. This is still a love story”.

Granados and Pendergrast met on season 4 of the A&E series. They struggled a lot early on in their relationship. The first issue that arose is that Granados was scared of dogs and Pendergrast owned a dog. She struggled with the acceptance of his dog. The second issue that arose was when Pendergrast stated that he wasn’t physically attracted to Granados. After one particular explosive fight, Granados moved out, unable to deal with the tension anymore. Even after all those issues, at the end of the season, they decided to stay together much to the surprise of fans.

But it looks like that happy ending that we all hoped for was not meant to be. Although, no further details have emerged at the time, it does appear that the split was amicable. We wish these two the best even if that means they can’t be together.

 

 

 

Leah Remini and Ex- Scientology Leader Make Sexual Abuse Claim Against The Church

in Divorce by

Leah Remini A&E show Leah Remini is on a mission to make sure that the Church of Scientology goes down in a ball of flames. Her new explosive A&E series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is focused on exposing the dirty and allegedly illegal activities of the church. And the church is very angry with what she has to say.

On the premiere of her series Remini interviewed Amy Scobee, a onetime senior Scientology executive who left the church behind in 2005.  Scobee has already made waves with her ex-church when she wrote a book book titled, Scientology – Abuse at the Top, that details her abusive experience with the church. She started with the organization at the age of 14 and worked her way up to an executive position. She worked at Scientology‘s international management headquarters for several years before leaving in 2005. She also founded the many Scientology Celebrity Centres during her 27 years on the church’s payroll.

The interview dropped the bombshell  that her married boss, a 35-year-old fellow Scientologist, sexually abused her at the age of 14 when she first joined the church. Scobee said, “He had me stay back when everyone else left and basically we had sex. This was statutory rape. I was too afraid to tell anyone about it.” Even worse, Scobee alleged, the church tried to cover up the horrific crime. The church found out about the situation when the married man’s wife came forward and told the church officials. Instead of reporting the incident to the police, church officials decided that it would be bad PR for the church and they placed blame on her.

On the show, Scobee was also reunited with her previously estranged mother, Bonny, who finally left the church years after her daughter. Both mother and daughter claim leaders forced the heartbroken mom to “disconnect” from her child. This was a common practice amongst church members once a family member has left the church.

A&E said that the church has responded to these allegations by claiming she is a “pathological liar” with a history of “sexual transgressions.”
