Who Is Chrissie Carnell Bixler? Meet Accuser And Former Scientologist

Danny Masterson, best known for his role on That 70s Show, has long been the subject of accusations of sexual assault spanning years. In 2020, he was arrested in relation to charges of raping three women between 2001 and 2003; though released on bail at this point, should Masterson be found guilty, he could potentially receive 45 years to life imprisonment sentence in state prison.

The Church of Scientology’s Alleged Involvement

These allegations have been further complicated by Masterson’s connection to the Church of Scientology. Leah Remini’s A&E series, Scientology: The Aftermath, highlighted instances where the church is believed to have intervened in legal matters. This involvement is particularly noticeable in the case of Chrissie Carnell Bixler, a former girlfriend of Masterson.

Chrissie Carnell Bixler: Accuser and Former Scientologist

Chrissie Carnell Bixler, a model, actress, and now-wife to musician Cedric Bixler-Zavala, has shared her traumatic experience with Masterson, stating that he raped her during their relationship. Bixler’s engagement with the Church of Scientology further complicated her decision to come forward. She alleged that upon confiding her story within the church, she was advised against pressing charges.

Bixler’s Revelations on Remini’s Show

On Scientology: The Aftermath, Bixler recounted a particularly harrowing evening where she believes she was drugged and later assaulted by Masterson. She described waking up the next day, experiencing physical pain and memory loss. Her confrontation with Masterson only led to laughter and admission from him that they had intercourse while she was unconscious. Upon seeking guidance from the church, she was reportedly told not to categorize the incident as rape due to their ongoing relationship.

Retaliation and The Church’s Denial

Masterson, maintaining his innocence, has been vocal about his intention to countersue Bixler, even suggesting that she and other accusers have an ulterior motive. Simultaneously, the Church of Scientology firmly denies any allegations of intimidation or involvement in Masterson’s legal disputes. However, evidence and accounts, particularly from former members like Remini, suggest a history of the church attempting to silence and intimidate detractors.

Pending Legal Actions

As legal proceedings escalate, Bixler’s lawsuit against Masterson, Scientology Church and David Miscavige remains open-ended. We eagerly anticipate further developments as this case could reveal more information regarding controversial practices of Scientology as well as unveil the truth about Masterson’s allegations.

With many parties involved and high stakes, this case serves as a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding celebrity accusations, the influence of powerful organizations, and the struggles victims face when coming forward.
