Monique Rathbun , wife of a former highranking Scientology official , claims that after he defected they were victims of stalking , surveillance , and harassment , ordered by the church ' s leader . She recently dropped it citing lack of resources . As for why people don ' t like him , the list of reasons is pretty long . Since he became leader he ' s had various allegations brought against him , including from high ranking defectors . He also runs the church of Scientology so any accusation against the church is pretty much also on him . The biggest one would probably be is emotional , verbal , and physical abuse of employees , including high ranking officials . There are many people who also think he killed his wife , as she has not been seen since 2007 . This has been investigated by police , who went to speak with her in 2013 on a church property .
