Faust, who has admitted before that she and mother's relationship hit a breaking point when she went on the path of Scientology, opened up about her childhood.
"She was my mom. She was always searching to find her niche in life. Different religions and things like that. I think she found her niche in Scientology because she stayed there in 28 years until she passed."

Faust said she was booted out of Scientology when she was just 13 years old. She was forced to depart from her mother as she decided to stay with the religion.
"They came to me and said I was a freeloader because I wasn't indeed working for them. They handed me a billion year contract to sign. That was enough to slide it back over to them. My mom didn't have too much to say about it."
Faust said while her mother did not make her join Scientology, she did not stop the group from kicking Faust out.
"I packed my stuff. I walked out the door. And she... no bus fare. No nothing."
She said her mother took on Scientology when Faust was just a child. They were "uprooted" to California where they lived in a building that controlled different aspects of their lives. She said they lived in bunk beds and had to dine in a cafeteria. She admitted that she was once apart of the "clan" when she was just a child and experienced harsh bullying as she was the only African American child in her school.
"I just had to adapt. I used to get called names all the time. Any racial slur you could think of. They used to spit on me."
Still, Faust said that her mom was a good one who was just "lost."
"I forgive her."
