Aaron Levin Smith made a video on Shelleys whereabouts somewhat recently. IIRC she's in a compound in California somewhere and she's fine, by all outward appearances. I'm pretty sure she's drinking the kool ade like the rest of them.
Appearances can be deceiving. They wouldn't be hiding her in a compound for years and not responding to inquiries if everything was good between her and the CoS.
From what I understand, she doesn't seem to be held against her will. If Aaron Levin Smith is to be believed (being that he is a former Sea Org member, I'd say his credibility is good), she's been seen out and about running errands and the like, but always with a security detail. There's a decent chance that I'm misremembering something, though, so take this with a pinch of salt.
Yeah people are desperate to believe horror stories especially involving a woman but the reality is very likely she's just a member of the cult living a relaxed and affluent life on the money they swindle.
How many bets that "security detail" is as much to prevent her escape as it is to prevent anyone else from harming her?
Huh, interesting. Probably not "fine" though since if she's at Gold / Int Base she's probably being held against her will, considering that the whole base is sorta built around being like a prison compound and they even have private security "pursuit teams" to hunt down escapees.
Edit: not to say that everybody at Int is being held against their will, but it's where eg. The Hole is so if somebody is being held, Int is probably where they'd be
