Left the Building

In 2012, she unveiled her remarkable Americana album Storm & Grace, the pinnacle of her musical journey. Having once been an ardent follower of the Church of Scientology, Presley chose to part ways and conveyed her decision through the powerful anthem, "You Ain't See Nothin' Yet." 

 Presley's introduction to the church occurred in 1977 when her mother brought her in. They both remained devoted members for many years, actively engaging in a noble crusade for literacy. Presley's unwavering commitment to the church was evident during the early 2000s, as she fearlessly advocated for literacy and even shared her views on ADHD medication in Congress. However, in 2016, after four decades,  Presley made the decision to leave the church, and her mother followed suit a year later. 

 "I was slowly starting to self-destruct. They were taking my soul, my money, my everything,' Lisa Marie Presley said at the time. "I've had enough. I'm done." 

 Departing from the realm of Scientology bestowed upon Lisa Marie and her mother the designation of a "suppressive person."  Consequently, this classification necessitates that individuals, including family members who remain within the church, sever all communication ties with said person. 

 Claims have been made that the religion compels its members to distance themselves from family and friends who are not part of the organization. Additionally, there are allegations of organized harassment against individuals perceived as enemies of the Church. In recent times, notable documentaries such as the Emmy-winning Going Clear have aimed to reveal the truth about the Church. These documentaries shed light on the Church's utilization of celebrity followers, the interactions between Church leaders and celebrities, and the accounts of former members who have experienced abuse and exploitation.
