Jennifer Aniston is reportedly turning to Scientology as she continues to struggle following her split from Brad Pitt.

The “Murder Mystery” actress is reportedly considering joining the controversial religion as she continues to struggle from the emotional legacy after her split from Pitt, New Idea first reported. The religion claims to help its followers overcome emotional problems and the “Cake” star finds it intriguing as she battles the bitter legacy of two divorces.

“Jen doesn’t understand why people are so anti-Scientology. She’s heard only good things about the positive effects it’s had on her famous and non-famous friends,” a source told Globe.

“She’s been tempted to get involved over the years, but it was never possible due to various conflicts in her personal life. Now there’s no such drama to hold her back, and she’s ready to see what it’s it all about,” the source added.

The insider noted that Louis Theroux, the cousin of Aniston’s second ex-husband Justin Theroux, was among the people who held her back. Louis reportedly created a documentary about the dangers of the religion. However, Aniston is reportedly ready for a new chapter in her life and she finds Scientology “more and more appealing.”

Among the current devotees of Scientology are Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and Elizabeth Moss. However, the religion has a controversial reputation of isolating its members from their families. When Cruise and Nicole Kidman split, their children stayed with the “Top Gun” actor.

Their kids Isabella and Connor were reportedly “indoctrinated to hate” their mother. Also, there were claims that Cruise didn’t see his daughter Suri with ex Katie Holmes for six years because he’s devoted to the Church of Scientology and she’s not. So, the actor was not allowed to see his daughter. But the church’s spokesperson vehemently denied it.

At present, Aniston and Pitt are still romantically linked together. The latest rumor about the exes claimed that the “Ad Astra” actor purchased his former Hollywood Hills home and gifted it to Aniston in hopes of rekindling their romance. The house reportedly holds fond memories of their early courtship days.
