In his recent tell-all book, former high-ranking Scientology member Mike Rinder reveals sh.ocking details about the church’s efforts to cover up John Travolta’s alleged homosexuality. Rinder claims he witnessed Travolta kissing a male masseuse and engaging in intimate activities with him. The Church of Scientology reportedly launched аggrеssivе PR campaigns and legal actions to suppress these rumors, fearing they would damage Travolta’s image as a heterosexual family man and reflect poorly on the church.
Despite decades of rumors and accusations, Travolta, married to actress Kelly Preston, has maintained a public persona of heterosexuality. Former Scientology executives suggest Preston may have been aware of the rumors but chose to ignore them, influenced by the church’s teachings to dismiss negative media claims. Travolta’s allegiance to Scientology, supported by Preston’s devout beliefs and the church’s backing, may have contributed to his prolonged secrecy.
These revelations highlight Scientology’s control over its members, including prominent figures likе Travolta, and their efforts to manipulate public perception to protect their interests. Travolta’s alleged double life and the church’s concealment efforts underscore the complex dynamics within Scientology and their lengths to maintain a facade of perfection.
Vet reveals the shocking reason you should never hug your dog
A vet has warned how a ‘hug’ can make a dog feel, and it’s not necessarily what you would expect
A vet has warned that it could be a bad idea to ‘hug’ your dog, as it could have the opposite effect on them to what us humans feel.
There’s nothing nicer than coming home from a long day at work to your furry friend scurrying as fast as they can to the door to greet you.
Your natural reaction is usually to bend down and give them a big cuddle, and whilst it might look like they’re loving every second – it might not be what they’re really feeling.
Dog experts are now warning owners to find different ways of showing their love.
According to a vet who spoke to Psychology Today, a hug can actually make a dog feel quite anxious and trapped – this is because a dog’s primary defence is to run away.
Psychologist Stanley Coren explained: “Yes, your dog may leap into your lap and kiss your face, cuddle against your neck, and beg you to rub her belly.
“But that’s not ‘hugging.’
“In my experience, many dogs don’t enjoy having a human move one or two arms around their shoulders and squeeze.
“That’s the hug we are talking about.”
Behaviour Vets author Lauren Novack believes dogs who do enjoy hugs are a complete ‘exception’, reports Daily Paws.
She said: “When dogs don’t like something and politely ask for space over and over again to no avail, they’re likely to escalate their communication to growling or biting.
“I don’t want dogs to be stressed, and I don’t want humans to get bitten. For most dogs, hugs are stressful.”
Stanley previously analysed 250 photos of dogs being given hugs, and he found that in 80% of the images, the dogs showed signs of looking stressed.
And he noted that this can be indicated by a dog lowers their ears, closing their eyes, or turning away from the source of anxiety.
And the psychologist has now revealed some much better alternatives.
He said: “The clear recommendation to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.
“It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.”
And the last thing we want to do is upset our furry babies, so we’re definitely going to take this advice on board!
