The Shocking Story Behind the “Fake Filtered Cult Leader” Case | The Social
from The Social CTV, Nov 4, 2026
A self-described spiritual teacher from Hawaii launched a years-long online attack against three Canadians from Saskatchewan, calling them child abusers and Satanists.
When the Canadians fought back, the dispute ended up in a dramatic defamation trial with a jaw-dropping verdict.
W5 Host and Managing Editor Avery Haines takes us inside the investigation, breaks down what happened in court and discusses why the story may not be over yet.
Plus, Avery weighs in on Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ and shares advice on how to spot scammers, grifters and people who may not be who they claim to be.
Watch the one-hour special ‘W5’s Avery Haines Investigates’ on Saturday Nov. 7th on CTV, Crave, and @OfficialW5.
