Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me is a book by Ron Miscavige and Dan Koon, published in 2016 by St. Martin’s Press in the United States and Silvertail Books in the United Kingdom. Written by the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, it presents a personal account of life in the Church of Scientology, the rise of David Miscavige to the church’s leadership, and the aftermath of Ron Miscavige’s decision to leave the church.
The book is described by its US publisher as “a riveting insider’s look at life within the world of Scientology” which tells the story of “David Miscavige’s childhood and his path to the head seat of the Church of Scientology told through the eyes of his father.”[1] According to the UK publisher, “Ron [Miscavige] traces the arc of David’s life from his early years to David’s eventual, stellar rise to power in Scientology; his brutal approach to running the organisation today; and the disastrous effects that his leadership has had on countless numbers of Scientologists and their families.”[2]
Ruthless tells of how Ron Miscavige and his family joined Scientology in 1971, living for a while in the UK, before moving back to Pennsylvania. By the age of 16 his son David had become a confidant of Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and had joined the inner core of the church, the Sea Org. He took over the leadership of Scientology when Hubbard died in 1986.
In 2012, Ron Miscavige left Scientology. The Los Angeles Times reported that he had been put under surveillance by the Church of Scientology, which was said to have paid two private investigators to watch him around the clock for 18 months at a cost of $10,000 a week. The surveillance was said to have been “all because [David] Miscavige feared that his father would divulge too much about the organisation’s activities.” At one point, the investigators were said to have phoned David Miscavige when they thought his father was having a heart attack and were allegedly told not to intervene: “if it was Ron’s time to die, to let him die and not intervene in any way”. Miscavige denied having ordered the surveillance or speaking to one of the investigators. The incident prompted Ron Miscavige to write the book. According to Tony Ortega, a journalist and writer on Scientology, Ruthless was originally titled If He Dies, He Dies in reference to the “heart attack” incident.
The book is the second memoir to have been published by one of David Miscavige’s relatives, after his niece Jenna Miscavige Hill published Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape in 2012.
The release of the book on May 3, 2016 was preceded by an interview on ABC’s long-running news show 20/20, broadcast on April 29, 2016.
The Church of Scientology has threatened to sue both the US and UK publishers of Ruthless. A letter sent to the UK publishers, Silvertail, alleged that the book “contains malicious, false, misleading and highly defamatory allegations” that Miscavige has “unequivocally denied” and which the letter claims “can only be for blatant commercial gain and vindictive ill will towards our client and his two daughters.” It asserts that the book’s publication reflects “an extremely difficult and an unfortunate family history” and that Ron Miscavige “would not have been in a position to have any direct knowledge or experience of the totally discredited and disproven claims”. Humfrey Hunter, the owner of Silvertail, told The Guardian that he was “definitely going ahead – there’s no question. I’m very confident that if they were to sue, we would be able to successfully defend the book and its content.”
The Church of Scientology also built a website (ronmiscavigebook.com) as part of their response to the book.

Shame on you Monique you evil lawyer!!! remember you too have children & Karma is a bitch just like you are..wondering how many bucks your making from selling your soul to the sinister devil DM
never thought I would see something more disgusting than a snake … behold: a lawyer snake … wow, how vile can the meter go up in one human to be double whammied like that? cientology is stupid to begin with and stupider to attract attention doing the disconnection thingie to begin with …. when an idiot xtian switches camps
from Lutheran to Baptist or some shitthere is no such backlash as in scientology. It is a simple case of delusion … I liken it to a fly changing/flying from one pile of shit to another … ever wondered why flies do that? Fuck, they found Xanadu/Shangri-La in that steaming pile the dog just dropped on the lawn and still they need mo'?Demonic Cult! His son is possessed.
Google: Doctor's don't Bite (The Richest African Prince)
This cult must DIE… L. Ron, Hobard is the devil
The "Church" attorney has DEAD EYES. From my observation, only one in about a thousand people have dead eyes. I think it is looking into the pitt of hell. The last time I saw it, was an abortion nurse…lots of abortions to her credit. Before that, it was a Secret Service officer.
He is so sort
L'..does he "little Man syndrome"?
i am a scientologist and this is nothing but lies. if you want to know the truth, visit one of the facilities. i guess the truth is not important, lets get our facts from people with grudges, people who have an agenda, people who just want to discredit us because it is in fashion to attack us. we just want to live in peace and not have our beliefs stripped from us.
Does anyone else notice how the people who got out, kicked out, left openly or in secret all seem to have the same things happen????? They come from all different levels of importance within this "religion", and yet seem to have eerily similar stories.. This lawyer who speaks out for the "church" definitely does a tap dance, but then again, what religious order terrorizes, harasses, stalks, and tries to smear reputations in order to deflect the obvious horrific problems within????? 2 that I can think of off the top of my head—–Jonestown and the FLDS……..hasn't the history of those "cults" shown that it isn't wise to "Drink the Kool-Aid"? I'm very glad to have never been sucked into a black hole like that.
That woman lawyer spokesperson they sent just looks totally wrong and completely corrupt. My heart breaks for the broken families thanks to this awful cult who handle themselves with no grace whatsoever.
Other people point this out, but I just gotta inquire: What the hell is the deal with that attorney's excessive blinking??? It has to be either a medical condition, very bad (odd) habit, or an unconscious tic. None of those is exactly a positive when you need to be a spokesperson for a controversial organization.
I would expect that an attorney would be very conscious of how they come across on camera when representing a client, so I'm wondering how this isn't an involuntary reaction to the answers/speech she's engaged in.
WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT FRICKIN PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLES LIVES . LOOSSSEEERRRS WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP SHIT POOP ALL THAT STUFF LOL LOL LOL LOL
