to leave scientology and speak to the filmmakers. it called the interview subject admitted liars and professional anti-scientologists who are "regurgitating their stale, discredited allegations." they accuse the filmmakers of having a vendetta. well's let more on this. marty is a former employee of the church of scientology. you were a member of this church for years and years and years. why are you speaking out now? >> well i started speaking out six years ago and the reason why i spoke out was, i escaped from scientology in 2004 literally because i had been sentenced to a prison camp that had been set up at its headquarters. scientology is very good at making you feel responsible and making you feel degraded. when i left for four years i tried to create a life thinking to myself in the back of my mind that somehow i'm responsible for

how everything degenerated there. well five people followed my lead and subsequently escaped and tracked me down in texas and shared with me that what i had experienced that led to me escaping and leaving continued on. this prison camp. it got more atrocious, it got more -- the conditions got worse and it continued on for four years. >> when you say the prison camp is this the thing you talked about in the documentary that some people called "the hole"? >> yes. >> i should mention, the church says the hole doesn't exist, that you are a liar that you have perjured yourself in the past. the list of allegations against you goes on and on and on. so they deny this flat-out. what do you say happened in this so-called prison camp? >> it is not just i. there is five other witnesses who were actually in the hole and continued to be for years after i had left. but it was a small office where 80 people who were the top level managers of scientology were kept 24/7.

they had to participate in group confessions all day long with a person standing in front of the group just like in communist china and having to express their evil intentions towards the leaders of scientology. i did, too, i did it from the beginning -- we engaged in violent acts against one another if the confessions weren't to the likes of the leaders. >> you were a member and employee of this church. you have acknowledged you say that you did quite a few things on beof hahalf of the church you say, such as harassing or even engaging in some physical conduct against others. what did you do? >> well i helped build this office of special affairs which is their intelligence and dirty tricks arm. i will say that during our time period there had been -- i had come in when -- shortly after there had been indictments after the founder's wife and 11 other top members. i was 21 years old. one of my first assignments was to re-configure this whole

defense network of scientology, and i did that. >> by the way, they say you were a low-level employee. >> yeah right. okay. they say a lot of things. they'll say whatever they need to say to sort of try to discredit truth. but the fact of the matter is be with i helped to construct that monster that now is pursuing me and other people that stood against them. but it is designed to shudder people into silence. those are the just words, that's the policy of the office of special affairs, to create this effect that shudders people into silence. that's the kick-back that this documentary goes against. >> let me ask you about this allegation in the documentary that you make that you wiretap wiretapped nicole kidman as she was getting divorced from tom cruise something again the church vehemently denies. did you do that? did you yourself wiretap her phone? >> no. i ordered that it happen. on the order of someone else. >> didn't you know that that was illegal? >> yes. >> do you have any evidence to

corroborate it? they say there's nothing that substantiates what you claim. >> yeah well when i said it and they complained that it's something that is new that i came up with. well it's because the filmmaker who did the film asked what blackmail do they have on tom cruise. i thought about it should i talk about this. i realized when i finally became free of scientology, is after they attacked me publicly for six years and used every confession i ever did all the way back to my birth. they attacked my mother. they attacked my grandfather. who i only met twice in my entire life. the filmmaker's father has been attacked. that's the reason he doesn't like scientology. but i realized that i only became free when i took all that and they got everything that i ever did out there. okay? and i realized blackmail is no longer powerful when the truth is told.

so i decided to tell the truth about what happened with tom cruise and nicole kidman and so it really is an act of kindness and compassion towards tom cruise because he should feel relieved of that burden of blackmail. >> we're out of time. i should mention that's another allegation the church makes that this is only recently something that's come up. marty, appreciate you being here and sharing your perspective.

served time. but it wasn't enough. >> you hired investigators. you followed her. where did you go? >> we went to a gas station. we went on a bus. we followed her on foot. we went to a clothing store,. >> what are you getting out of this? >> i guess i was trying to learn something about her, about her life what she was like. i guess i was looking for a reason to have sympathy for her, to be honest. >> reporter: lovell turned her photos into a traveling exhibit currently at colorado's photographic art center. >> i followed her through her whole day. >> to what lengths did you go to try to contact her, see her, follow her? >> i actually tried to approach her and she ran away. >> reporter: she asked the thief for comments but she didn't respond. but others have. the exhibit raising questions. did the photographer take her privacy? was this an eye for an eye? >> no. this was my way of understanding why someone would do this to me. >> isn't this all an invasion of

her privacy, much as she took yours? >> i don't see it that way. i see it as a sensitive inkwirquiry into human nature and into her particularly. >> does this bring you closure? >> in some ways yes. mostly because it is mine. my identity was stolen. i didn't make that choice. she made that choice. and i feel really good about taking that choice and making it my own. >> reporter: a victim no more as the tables are turned all in the name of art. janet schamlian, nbc news denver. >> looked to me like the identity thief just picked the wrong person in that case. >> yeah. interesting. i guess it was cathartic for her. next nimtime to put away those winter coats. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

"today's style" is brought to you by maybelline new york. maybe she's born with it maybe it's maybelline. back at 8:38. what better with a i to kick off the new spring season -- other than a storm of course -- than with some new fashion trends. senior style editor at refinery 29 is here hey, annie, good morning to you. i'm so happy we're talking about spring fashion trends. we have a few looks to go through but what are kind of the big trends we should look out for this spring? >> a lot of bohemian, a lot of fringe a lot of earth tones. but today we'll show you three major trends anybody can pull off. >> we have models ready. the first flair pants. lynn come on out. she's modeling some of these flair pants. let's get the wide shot going. kind of a '60s '70s thing? >> denim is back in a big way, and specifically flared denim. it is a bit of a more sophisticated dressier jean which means it is more

versatile, you can wrar it to work on a casual friday. it is great for someone who doesn't love a skinny jean. >> it is not exactly a bootcut -- which i lot of bootcut and can't waitful fuluntil it comes back. >> this is a little bit more flaired. it has a little more personality, it is '60s '70s so it has some attitude. it is a very flattering elongated silhouette. pair it with a bright shirt. >> are you wearing heels? >> this is a bit of a longer hemline. it is okay if it hits the ground but we have her in a little heeled sandal. you'll see the toe of the shoe. why not make it fun. >> love that lynn. let's bring nell out. >> big belts are back. we love cinching the waist. one creative way is to pair it over indoor outerware.ear.

elevate the look with something a little bit baltimore statementy something like leather or a gold buckle. >> it kinds of updates or jazzes up your same old trench coat that you wear all spring. >> who wouldn't love a cinched waist like this? i think she looks so polished. she can go to the office just like this. >> besides the trench look is there another look that the big belt really works for? >> sure. i love it on a shirt dress. just a white dollared shirt dress if you want to accentuate that waist. >> nell, thank you so much. our last trend is gingham. i love that we have a whole family of gingham wearers. let's go one by one. what do you have them in? >> gingham can be worn by pretty much anyone. the whole family. this is a tighter gingham

pattern in a black/white print in a fit-flair silhouette. a little bit dressier but it is still play until enough she can wear this day to night. this is a fun way to refix denim. the silhouette of her dress is rather feminine so we played it up with a chunky funky shoe that she can walk in all day long. >> michael's got kind of the wider gingham print. >> i really believe that a gingham top for a man is really all you need for spring because not only can it replace your button-down that you wrarear to work but it also replaces a flannel or heavier shirt that you might wear in the winter. you can dress this up for work. you can wear it with dark denim, a crisp white shoe. i think he looks very cool. he's ready for a date night with rachel. >> i'll tell you a secret. the men of the "today" show wear gingham almost constantly. it's been a trend for them for years and years and years. they are ahead of the curve.

finally, alex. >> alex would look adorable in anything but we have him in a wider print gingham which is a little more casual and we are styling it like an outer layer. when it gets warm out, which it will eventually he can switch to a jean jacket it is really comfortable, run around and play tie around the waist. at dinner button it up. >> great trends. annie, thank you so much. models let's get one last look. thank you so much. happy spring. coming up next we are going to keep kicking off the spring celebration. we'll kick it into high gear with the high-kicking rockettes. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

hypothermic type state. he was flown to a local hospital. here's the thing -- doctors say he'll make a full recovery. >> no ill effects from this at all. probably because the creek was so cold there are instances where the human body can survive but it does go into this cryogenic type state. >> we've seen that with people who have suffered strokes, there is a treatment where they basically drop your body temperature to keep your brain from swelling. also with spinal injuries you see that as well. but this is an incredible story. >> what a miracle. >> it is a miracle. >> he's out of the hospital and -- yeah. he was under water for 101 minutes. >> that's good news. monica lewinsky back in the news. she did an interview last year with "vanity fair" magazine that got a lot of buzz. now she's speaking out in her own words for only the second time in more than a decade.
