No idea. Although I'm not a fan of Scientology, that's pretty messed up on the model agency's behalf.
ReplyDeleteNO DON'T CARE FOR IT EITHER...BUT THERE IS OR SHOULD BE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM...
ReplyDeleteEVEN IF I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO THINK OF SCIENTOLOGY AS A RELIGION ...
Bijou Phillips, idk if she is considered a "Top Model"
ReplyDeleteMaybe she was proselytizing and infringing on other people's rights. Everyone has a right to practice their religion, but if someone is trying to convert people aggressively in the workplace, that's absolutely grounds for firing.
ReplyDeleteI worked at a magazine and a few of the people there got involved in The Forum (Landmark Education) and were really putting the pressure on their underlings to join. A couple of people did, just to keep their jobs. It was FUCKED UP.
That's not right, either, you know.
How long has Bijou been a scientologist? I thought it had been a long time but maybe it just feels like forever. This blind makes it sound like she just joined. Can't stand scientology but don't agree with firing someone because of it.
ReplyDeleteThis blind irritates me because it presupposes the important question is "who?" rather than "is this why this person was fired?"
ReplyDeleteI tend to go with something like Ayesha's theory.
If the model was fired for BECOMING a Scientologist (and can prove it), that agency is opening themselves up to quite a lawsuit.
It would sound more plausible that she took some sort of action(s) STEMMING from her Scientology views, actions that broke some agency rule.
Then again, the world and rules of the Beautiful People is foreign to me, so who knows.
Bijou is an Alien-Lover but no way in HELL is she a top model.
ReplyDeleteI just found out a few days ago that if you use the word "Scientology" in a Tweet, they start following you on Twitter. Freaky!
ReplyDeleteMooshki, that's beyond creepy.
ReplyDeleteMooshki, now THAT is good scoop! : )
ReplyDeleteWow Mooshki, you might want to put on a tinfoil hat! That is beyond weird!!! :S
ReplyDeleteLol @ twitter stalkers...
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of hoo-ha concerning Tanya Dziahileva's agency switch (and why IMG severed ties with her).
You can read about it here:

(She is definitely a top model. If people haven't heard her name, they more than likely have seen her face - especially given all the publicity she had when she hit the scene. Also she is one of the regular handful of walkers for most of the top designers).
It's true! I twittered about how I thought Justin Timberlake, Alec Baldwin and Christopher Walken are the best SNL hosts, the next day I'm being followed by "Alec Baldwin fans".
ReplyDeleteHm. Isn't it Scientology that gets you "in"? Second question: Couldn't she sue them if that were the reason they dismissed her?
ReplyDeleteHad to be because she did something or things.
ReplyDeleteMy sister was involved in that Forum crap. They tried to get me to join but I didn't. The funny thing is she told my mom that she was worried I would join a cult in college. Project much?
ReplyDeleteMooshki, the Jonass brothers do the same thing.
ReplyDeletetanya d is a great guess
ReplyDeletea modeling agency usually can "let someone go" for no reason because when models sign a contract for that agency to represent them, they are signing off saying that the agency owns their image and they can be let go at any time for any reason if the agency feels they do not want to represnt the model anymore. it's pretty crazy, but it's a way for the agency to protect themselves from being associated with any behaviour or image that they don't want to be linked to. Including, i guess, cults. which scientology is. it is not a religion.
