Scientology Not Acquiring Muppet Studios Lot … Family Denies Report

Published October 6, 2024 By admin with Comments 0

The Jim Henson Company’s studio lot in Los Angeles is NOT being sold to the Church of Scientology, TMZ has confirmed.

Here’s the deal … a report surfaced this week claiming the historic studio lot that served as a home for The Muppets was going to change hands and end up with Scientology.

But in a statement issued Saturday … the estate of the legendary puppeteer denied a sale was ever in place.

“In regards to recent rumors about the sale of the La Brea studio lot, the Henson family is not in any business dealings with the Church of Scientology, and that organization is not in consideration as a potential buyer of the property,” the statement read in part.

“It is still the family’s intention to move The Jim Henson Company to a new location it can share with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, but at this time the family is not in escrow with any buyer,” per the estate.
