Between HBO's bombshell Scientology documentary "Going Clear" being released in March and Leah Remini's upcoming tell-all book about the controversial religion, it isn't the most popular time to be a Scientologist.
But many celebrities are holding strong to their Scientology ties.
In addition to longtime members Tom Cruise and John Travolta, there are a few surprising faces from young Hollywood finding solace in Scientology.
With additional reporting by Kirsten Acuna and Ashley Lutz.
Actress Kirstie Alley
The former "Cheers" star says the religion helped her overcome a cocaine addiction.
"I think that probably all religions sound bizarre to the people who are not the practitioners of them," Alley says of Scientology. "To me it's so normal, and probably 90% of the crazy stuff I hear isn't true. I've been a Scientologist for over 30 years. I think a lot of things are sensationalized."
In 2010, rumors swirled her weight loss program, Organic Liaison, was a front for Scientology, a claim the actress vehemently denied.
Actress Elisabeth Moss
Moss who played Peggy Olson on "Mad Men," was introduced to the religion by her parents.
She said Scientology helped her get over her acrimonious split from "Saturday Night Live" actor Fred Armisen.
"Some people say yoga really helps them feel centered ... or there’s Buddhism or whatever,"Moss told The Telegraph. "I mean, I think that for me it’s [Scientology] one thing that has helped me at times, and it’s kind of as simple as that."
Actor Danny Masterson
Masterson is best-known for his role on "That '70's Show." He defended Tom Cruise for the actor's leaked Scientology video back in 2008.
In an interview with Paper Magazine in 2009 he explained the religion as follows:
"The definition of Scientology is 'the study of knowledge,'"said Masterson. "Obviously, the more knowledge you have in a given field, such as life, the more confident you are as a person."
