She alleged that Yehuda had attempted to drug and sexually assault her in A Kabbalah Centre spokesperson told Broadly, "Yehuda has not been involved with the Kabbalah Centre since he resigned in When Yehuda left the Centre, he made clear that he was doing so because his departure was in the best interests of the Centre and in the best interest of his own personal effort to change his life.

Ross believes that the Kabbalah Centre's many scandals have driven most of its celebrity followers away, but a few core adherents still remain. Some moved on to more trendy religions, while others became disillusioned by the Centre's financial demands.

A few members of the new generation of celebrity it girls, like Ariana Grande, have experimented with the Centre, but its membership has dropped sharply.

None of the Centre's celebrity members responded to Broadly's response to comment. Ross estimates that the Centre only has 3, to 5, core members. When asked about current membership, a Kabbalah spokesperson told me simply, "There are more than 40 [Kabbalah Centre] locations around the world.
