Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Support Scientology

Posted by Vanessa Baker on September 21st, 2009

Will SmithWill Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, donated $122,000 to Scientology groups in 2008, despite the fact that they deny being members of the religion, reports Perez Hilton.

The Smiths own private school in Southern California, The New Village Leadership Academy, which recently underwent criticism for using Scientology teaching methods. Eyebrows were raised when the “non-Scientologists” replaced the school’s headmaster with another who had completed Scientology classes.

“You have people who are attacking and want to fight and don’t know nothing,” said Smith. “How you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. And as an American, I’m not gonna be a part of that.”

Smith, who claims to be a Christian, said Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, is “98 percent like the Bible.”

A number of celebrities have been criticised for practising Scientology in recent years, most notably Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes.

    I’m a fan of Fresh Prince. Will Smith has always been known for helping out youth and people in need. He has donated to so many causes to help the disadvantage. I don’t know enough about Scientology, but I do know that if it had anything to do with helping people Will Smith was on it. Him and Jada are known for helping people.

  • Jenna

    Not sure why this is a issue… Will and Jada are always known for giving out donations. I doubt that this is the only organization they donated money to. They probably gave out millions in 2008. Will is a mega star and makes mega money. At least the Smith’s do attempt to help people.

  • http://www.xenu.net Scientology is a CULT

    Wow “Samantha” and “Jenna” sure have similar responses…I wonder why? Could they be the same person? $100 bucks says “she” is a Scientology plant.

    Scientology is a sinister, evil cult, that masquerades as a religion.

    Just read up on it and you’ll see why it is in issue.

    Google/wikipedia: Lisa McPherson, Operation Freakout, Operation Snow White or just plain ol’ Scientology.

    Scientology is a fraud, plain and simple.

  • Terryeo

    A few wealthy people use their position and wealth, to help other people. Bill Gates is another who is well known for helping. And Jimmy Carter, now that the issue is on the table. But most of us can be a least somewhat helpful to our fellow man.
