It's an anniversary of shame for Scientology: Will they go for a repeat? April 24, 2019, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

One year ago, Scientology took its disingenuous attacks on Mike Rinder to a new level when his estranged daughter, Taryn Teutsch, tried to co-opt the message at the Denim Day rally in Los Angeles.

Denim Day is having its 20th anniversary today, and the rally in L.A. will probably get a boost in coverage because of it. We're curious to see if Scientology once again tries to crash the party for its own cynical purposes.

The Denim Day movement began after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim had been wearing tight jeans: the justices reasoned that she would have had to help take off her pants, and she had therefore given her consent to sex. Since then, Peace Over Violence has held rallies to raise awareness about misconceptions about sexual assault.
