A lifelong member of Scientology who spent three years serving as the personal aide to Shelly Miscavige has filed a lawsuit against the controversial religious organization.

The woman, who is identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe, filed a complaint for damages in Los Angeles Superior Court this week that lists 14 causes of action, including: false imprisonment, kidnapping, libel, slander, human trafficking and negligence.

Doe also details her close relationship with the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige, and details what had been happening in the days and months leading up to her alleged disappearance.

The court filing alleges that Miscavige 'became increasingly hostile and verbally abusive towards his wife' around 2005, and soon after Shelley was removed as her husband's assistant and Doe was forced to perform manual labor.

Then, in 2006, Doe 'witnessed a dark-colored tinted vehicle pull up to the main building' at Scientology's Gold Base, at which point 'unidentified men dragged Shelly, who was crying and visibly distraught, out of the building and put her in the car,' according to the lawsuit.

Shelly has not been seen in public since then and Doe never saw her in the 10 years she remained with the organization, but Scientology spokespersons have always denied reports that she is missing.

Doe spoke about meeting Shelly in an episode of the Leah Remini series Scientology and the Aftermath.

She was also given a job by Remini after the actress learned about Doe's daring escape from Gold Base in the trunk of a car.

'One of my first jobs was I was a waitress for the top executives at the Clearwater Flag Land Base,' said Doe.

'Dave and Shelly came to the opening and I served them, and Shelly was like, 'oh my gosh I love this girl and I want her to work with me.''

She continued: 'You know, they were the royalty of Scientology so i was honored.'

Doe says that she was soon making the move from Clearwater to Gold Base, the home base for the group's top executives.

'Shelley was lovely' said Doe, but everyone else she encountered seemed 'not happy and frightened'.

Things began to change however in 2005 according to the complaint, which alleges that Miscavige 'became increasingly hostile and verbally abusive' towards his wife.

'In about the third year I was working with Shelly and David, Shelly was just getting more and more in disagreement with David about how he was running the organization, how he was treating the staff,' said Doe when she appeared on Aftermath.

Soon after, both women reportedly found themselves out of the organization.

'David Miscavige had Shelly removed from the main office as his secretary/assistant in the Gold Base. Jane Doe, because of her connection to Shelly Miscavige, at the age of 26, was punished by being removed from her position as steward and forced into the 'Hole,'' Doe alleges in her complaint.

'The Hole is a set of double-wide trailers on Gold Base where senior executives accused of 'ethics violations' were held under strict surveillance.

Doe 'spent three months in the 'Hole'' and 'was forbidden from having any communication whatsoever with Shelly.'

After those three months, she was 'forced to do physical and manual labor' Doe claims in the court filing.

When she finished her manual labor work, Doe began working on promotional videos for the Church, but by 2016 was ready to break free from Scientology according to the lawsuit.

'The church will vigorously defend itself against these unfounded allegations': CSI's response to lawsuit The Church of Scientology did not respond to request for comment, but a member of the organization's legal team did speak with NBC News on Wednesday. 'The lawsuit comprises nothing more than unfounded allegations as to all defendants,' said Rebecca N. Kaufman,. The attorney also said that the filing was 'littered with anti-religious slurs culled from the tabloids and accusations that have been disproven in courts decades ago.' She went on to state: 'We are confident the lawsuit will fail. 'Federal courts have already determined that service in the Church of Scientology's religious order is voluntary and protected by the First Amendment. 'Moreover, the evidence will establish that while serving the church, plaintiff came and went freely, traveled the world, and lived in comfortable surroundings. The church will vigorously defend itself against these unfounded allegations.' Advertisement

'Doe submitted written requests to leave to her superiors seven times. All requests were denied,' reads the complaint.

'Jane Doe was told by her superiors that if she left she would get cancer and die. On one occasion, Jane Doe was physically restrained and prevented from leaving. As a result of this, Jane Doe suffered mentally and contemplated suicide.'

She eventually got out by hiding in the trunk of a car belonging to an actor she had hired who was not a Scientologist, but says she was persuaded to return.

'At the age of 37, Jane Doe returned to the CSI (Church of Scientology) to 'route out,' in an effort to not lose all connection with her family. Instead of doing what was agreed upon, CSI proceeded to treat Jane Doe like a prisoner,' states the complaint.

'Jane Doe was forced to do everything with the accompaniment of a 'handler,' including using the bathroom, showering and sleeping. She was made to do videotaped interrogations in which she was forced to make false confessions and provide false positive testimonials about her experiences with CSI.

'Jane Doe was held for three months, not three weeks as she was told. Jane Doe was rarely permitted to leave. During this time, Jane Doe's grandmother died, and she was not even allowed to leave for the funeral.'

Doe's attorney Brian Kent said that this is just the first of many lawsuits his firm plans to file against the Church of Scientology.

'Scientology for decades has sought to quash dissention, cover up its long history of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of its members, including its most vulnerable members, its children, and weaponize its doctrine against those who escape and find the courage to speak up,' said Kent.

'This is just the beginning and we are not going to stop until they do.'

The Church of Scientology did not respond to request for comment, but a member of the organization's legal team did speak with NBC News on Wednesday.
