The former business manager of the “singer” is trying to merge her current cult with the one that features weight loss.

It is why she bought a massive property within shouting distance of it.

‘This is a cult’: inside the shocking story of a religious weight-loss group

In May of this year, film-makers Marina Zenovich and Nile Cappello had nearly wrapped on a documentary series about Remnant Fellowship, an insular, eerily cheery church in Brentwood, Tennessee, which preached weight loss as a spiritual assignment. For more than three years Cappello and her team had researched Remnant, which had faced accusations of being a cult that promoted child abuse, and its charismatic leader, Gwen Shamblin Lara, a stick-thin woman with an inflated blonde beehive who gained fame for a theological diet program to pray one’s way to thinness.

Cappello, an investigative journalist and executive producer, and Zenovich, a director who has made films on such figures as Roman Polanski, Robin Williams and Lance Armstrong, had spoken to numerous former members of Remnant Fellowship, explored allegations of harassment and emotional abuse, outlined the trail of toxicity behind the Weigh Down Workshop’s teachings of fat as a manifestation of sin, and accepted that Shamblin, 66, would probably never agree to an interview. “They don’t want to go on record,” Zenovich told the Guardian. “They want to continue doing what they’re doing, which is controlling people. So we tried – we sent letters to a lot of leaders – but no one responded.”

Earlier this month, in response to allegations made in the film, Remnant issued a formal statement, presented at the end of the series, in which the church “categorically denies the absurd defamatory statements and accusations made in this documentary” and assures “children are happy and healthy, being raised with the most love, care, support and protection imaginable”.

On 29 May, Shamblin and her husband, former Tarzan actor Joe Lara, as well as five other leaders within Remnant Fellowship, died in a plane crash outside Smyrna, Tennessee. The crash now opens The Way Down, a multi-part series on HBO Max, with the first three episodes – on Shamblin’s rise to popularity among evangelical churches, her increasingly controversial teachings and allegations of child abuse – premiering this week. Two more episodes on the crash, its investigation and the transition of power to Shamblin’s two children, will land in spring 2022. – Source

Britney Spears Jamie and Co. Tried ‘Curing’ Her with Religion

Britney Spears was diagnosed by medical professionals with a mental illness, but Jamie Spears and the business management team he hired felt they could free Britney from the grips of her mental problems with religion … sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

Jamie became a born again Christian after a stint in rehab early on in the conservatorship. Jamie knew Lou Taylor, who worked with Jamie Lynn as early as 2004 and also became a spokesperson for the family back then.

Taylor created a company called Tri Star Entertainment and in 2008 she and Jamie discussed making Tri Star the business manager in the conservatorship.

Taylor was also a fervent born again Christian … something she talked about on the “Today” show in 2008. Taylor brought in Robin Greenhill, who worked for Tri Star, to have day-to-day contact with Britney … helping manage her business affairs. But, we’re told it went way beyond money … Robin in particular was up in every aspect of Britney’s life.

Our sources say for the first year, Jamie, Robin and Lou literally walked around with the bible in hand, proselytizing the word of God. We’re told for a time they would only let Britney read religious material. And, we’re told, there was a large measure of intolerance for anyone who wasn’t a “good Christian.”

Interestingly, Lynne Spears wrote in one of her books … “Jamie was going to file for the conservatorship on January 22 [2008] … but he and his business manager, Lou, felt God leading them to wait, fast and pray, despite the frustration of a phalanx of lawyers.” – Source
