Leah Remini left the Church Of Scientology two years ago.
While one of the most vocal and high profile apostates to renounce the organization, Leah, 45, claims she is still feeling the 'hard repercussions' of leaving the religion she was raised in.

'When you leave, you can leave quietly,' Leah said in the teaser. 'But If you make a stink in the public world, they call you a Suppressive Person, which means the church has put a stamp on you that says you are bad.
'They then go to all your family and friends and say you have to disconnect from this Suppressive Person.'
Leah went on to describe why she felt the need to leave the religion her own mother had raised her in.
'I decided I didn't want to raise my daughter in the church because from what I've experienced and what I saw, the church becomes your everything. It becomes your mother, your father, your everything. You are dependent on the church.'

Leah also claims in the short video that those raised in the church don't 'have loyalty' to their own family members as the church itself 'comes first.'
The Church Of Scientology gave the following statement to DailyMail.com: 'It comes as no surprise that someone as self-absorbed as Leah Remini with an insatiable craving for attention would exploit her former religion as a publicity stunt in a pathetic attempt to get ratings for her cable show and seem relevant again.'
'She is rewriting history and omits that she was participating in a program to remain a Scientologist by her own choice, as she was on the verge of being expelled for her and her husband’s ethical lapses.'

Let's see if I can remember. Hmmmmm.......Oh yes! I remember what the "ethical lapses" were! Leah dared to question Tommy Davis as to the whereabouts of the missing Shelly Miscavige. She clearly didn't have the fucking rank to ask such a question. I suppose her husband backed Leah up on this, so he "lapsed ethically" too.
If a cult leader disappears his wife you can be rest assured it is for a "greatest good" reason. No one, and I mean no one has the right to question it.
