Priscilla latest star to quit Scientolog­y

-

PRISCILLA PRESLEY has become the latest celebrity to walk away from the controvers­ial Church of Scientolog­y.

Presley, 72, who has been a member of the religious sect, which counts Tom Cruise and John Travolta as members, told friends she had quit the religion after nearly four decades.

‘I’ve had enough. I’m done,’ said Presley, who recently dated singer Tom Jones. She is believed to have joined Scientolog­y after the death of husband Elvis.

‘Priscilla reached out to John Travolta after Elvis died in 1977 and that’s how she ended up in the church,’ a source said. ‘She has been in it ever since.’

Her daughter Lisa Marie quit the church in 2014. ‘Lisa Marie leaving made it hard for Priscilla,’ the source added. ‘They are very close as a family and leaving the church has been a family decision.’
