Scarlett called out the claim's originator, Brendan Tighe, and expressed her disbelief in such a wild story.

The allegations came from Brendan Tighe, a former Scientologist, during an interview on Megyn Kelly Today.

The Church Of Scientology also refuted Tighe's stories, clarifying his limited role within the Church and his eventual removal.

In 2012, Vanity Fair suggested the Church of Scientology's involvement in choosing Tom Cruise's partners, with actress Nazanin Boniadi allegedly being a previous choice.
