At a time when the world condemns hate, Yashar Ali revels in it, openly and proudly admitting he is a bigot.
On October 10, Yashar Ali posted on X (Twitter) pretending to condemn anti-religious discrimination. An account quickly exposed Ali’s deceit, stating: “This guy is an anti Scientology bigot.”
Yashar’s response: “True.”
Ali, who describes himself as “obsessed with Scientology,” spends his days on X (Twitter) stalking and harassing Scientologists, making comments like: “I am committed to the destruction of Scientology no matter what.” Ali nevertheless continues to pretend he “reports” on the religion from his Substack account. With his latest admission, however, Ali has abandoned all pretense of approaching Scientology with anything other than rabid hate.
Ali has also posted on X that he “love[s] working with” rabid anti-Scientologist Leah Remini to attack Scientology. (Interestingly, while Ali revels in the title, Remini objects to being described as a “bigot.”)
One day after proclaiming himself an anti-Scientology bigot, Ali publicly confirmed on Instagram that he is unemployed, with his anti-Scientology propaganda on Substack serving as his only source of income—a campaign of bigotry driven by Ali’s desperate need for cash.
The impetus? In July of 2023, Ali was ordered by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to forfeit all future income to cover the $232,769 he borrowed and never repaid Ariadne Getty, one of multiple women Ali ingratiated himself to, then exploited.
The debt collector pursuing Getty’s unpaid loan told the LA Times that Ali was “more difficult than average” to track down. He has no “known local bank accounts” or property, according to court papers.
In 2021, Los Angeles Magazine exposed Ali in a detailed profile as a toxic, exploitive personality who took advantage of successful women whose trust he gained. Thereafter, Ali lost all work, as well as tens of thousands of followers on X.
Ostracized and unemployed, Ali’s anti-Scientology hate campaign has become increasingly frantic, rabid and over-the-top in recent months, prompting even his remaining followers to put distance between themselves and Ali.
Their comments include:
In December of 2021, Ali sued LA Magazine for defamation after they exposed Ali and his parasitic lifestyle, but in May 2023, a judge ordered Ali to pay $39,710 for the magazine’s legal fees.
