'"Andrea Dunlop, author and host of the podcast "Nobody Should Believe Me," is an expert on Munchausen by Proxy. Munchausen by Proxy is a form of mental illness and child abuse where a caregiver, typically a parent, induces or fabricates symptoms in their child to make them appear sicker than they actually are. It's, in Andrea's words, a "cult of one." Muchahusen by Proxy has found its way into the mainstream through the Maya Kowalski case and the story of Gypsy Rose, which was adapted into a documentary and Hulu limited series, "The Act." In today's episode, Andrea explores Munchausen by Proxy abuse, its recent coverage in the news, including the Maya Kowalski court case, and how it could forever impact the medical system."
This documentary is like watching a horror movie brought to life. It speaks to people who investigated the Order of the Solar Temple – an apocalyptic cult in which, during the 1990s, 74 of its members died – starting with macabre footage of what they found when they investigated seemingly unrelated fatal house fires in Canada and Switzerland. Former members also give their disturbing accounts.
OK: Laura Prepon Revealed What She Felt After Joining the Church
"In a 2021 interview with People, Laura Prepon revealed she had not practiced Scientology "in close to five years."
"I've always been very open-minded, even since I was a child. I was raised Catholic and Jewish. I've prayed in churches, meditated in temples. I've studied Chinese meridian theory. … [Scientology is] no longer part of my life," said Prepon."
