The alliterate former A list athlete had a chance in a recent big interview to denounce the cult and cult leader she admires so much.
She didn’t.
She is still under his spell.
It is unclear if she has spent time under him.

McKayla Maroney Defends Controversial Church: “I Am Not in a Cult.”
McKayla Maroney has been through a lot in her 25 years. The world got to know her at the 2012 London Olympics, where she won a team gold medal in gymnastics and became a meme for her “unimpressed” face after winning the individual silver in vault. But, while these seemingly happy moments were occurring, she and many other gymnasts were being abused by team doctor Larry Nassar, who is now serving a life sentence in prison. Maroney has been open about the abuse and about other hardships she’s faced. Yet, there have been rumors about one aspect of her life that she’s yet to speak about until now: the idea that Maroney is in a cult.
In a new interview with Elle, Maroney commented on the claim and her involvement with the Church of the Master Angels (CMA). She said that she is “not in a cult,” but noted that the organization has helped her. Read on to find out
In March 2021, The Daily Beast reported on Maroney’s involvement with CMA. She was wearing a CMA necklace in a photo posted to her Instagram account and had reportedly appeared on the podcast Let’s Get Meta in February 2020 in which she spoke about her involvement with CMA. She also reportedly signed a statement praising CMA leader Master John Douglas, known as Master John.
On its website, CMA is described as a “unitary, non-denominational, faith-based community Church open to all seekers of truth, cosmic awareness and soul-realization.” The Daily Beast reported that participants can pay for courses, which can cost as much as $10,000 and that necklaces like Maroney’s can cost as much as $2,000. Testimonials on the CMA site include people claiming they were healed from everything from anxiety to HIV to Lyme disease. The Daily Beast reported that, according to a cult expert, CMA shows some warning signs of an emerging cult. A statement from the CMA Board of Directors on its website begins, “We are anti-cult.”
In the Elle interview, Maroney talked about her participation in CMA and said that she has attended a few events. She said that Master John helped her feel “immediate” relief from the hardships she’d been through. In addition to surviving Nassar’s abuse, Maroney also struggled with disordered eating and lost her father as a result of an unsupervised opioid detox in 2019, which she spoke about with Elle. “If you want to go to a healer, go to a healer. If you like psychics, whatever, do that. At the end of the day, it’s my choice,” Maroney told the magazine. – Source
