The supposed casualties were Scientologists, a congregation of which Masterson has been a section for quite a long time.
However Judge Charlaine Olmedo said at a pre-preliminary hearing that the procedures “wouldn’t turn into a preliminary on Scientology,” conversations of Masterson’s conviction about what comprised assault under the principles of Scientology calculated into the procedures.

“This is past ludicrous,” Masterson said in an explanation to Individuals through his lawyer at that point. “I won’t battle my ex in the media like she’s been bedeviling me to accomplish for over two years. I will beat her in court — and anticipate it on the grounds that the public will at last be capable gain proficiency with reality and perceive how I’ve been railroaded by this lady.
Furthermore, when her claim is tossed out, I expect to sue her and the other people who got on board with that temporary fad for the harm they caused all of us.”
