This week on A Couple of Sassholes, Brooklyn tells Heather about the tragic and deeply unsettling story of the Heaven’s Gate Cult.

What started as a small spiritual group in the 1970s eventually transformed into one of the most infamous cults in modern American history. Led by Marshall Applewhite, followers believed they were destined to leave Earth behind and ascend to a higher level of existence.

Members cut ties with their families, surrendered their personal identities, and devoted their lives completely to the group’s teachings.

But when a widely publicized celestial event captured the group’s attention in the late 1990s, their beliefs took a devastating turn that would shock the world and forever change how people talk about cults.

Brooklyn breaks down how the group formed, the unusual beliefs that kept members loyal, and the chilling events that ultimately unfolded.
