I read on Twitter early this morning that Leah is seeking 1.5 million dollars from the church for interfering with her documentary. Any more news on this?

Leah Remini demands $1.5 million from Scientology for interfering with her A&E series.

Four letters are both quoted in full and linked at Tony's website.

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

Since at least August, the Church of Scientology has been sending letters attacking Leah Remini to executives at the A&E network and its parent, ABC, in an attempt to head off her upcoming A&E series that premieres on November 29, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

On Saturday, we published one of those letters, a 7-page salvo from Church of Scientology International spokeswoman Karin Pouw addressed to the series executive producer, Alex Weresow, and A+E Networks CEO Nancy Dubuc. The letter, dated September 9, referred to Remini as a “has-been actress” and “spoiled entitled diva” who is harassing Scientology leader David Miscavige and stalking his wife, Shelly.

Now, the Underground Bunker has obtained four more letters. Two are from Leah Remini’s attorney, Douglas E. Mirell. The other two are replies from Scientology attorney Gary S. Soter.

In the exchange, Mirell calls Pouw’s many letters to A&E libelous and defamatory, accusing the church of maliciously trying to harm Remini’s reputation and interfere with her contract with A&E. Mirell demands that Scientology retract the letters and pay Remini $1.5 million as compensation. Soter, in his two replies, said the church would pay nothing and it stood by what it said about Remini.

Leah Remini demands Church of Scientology pay her $1.5M

Page Six: Leah Remini demands Church of Scientology pay her $1.5M

http://pagesix.com/2016/11/22/leah-remini-demands-church-of-scientology-pay-her-1-5m/

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

Lawyers for actress and former Scientologist Leah Remini have demanded, in a legal letter, that the church pay her $1.5 million, and alleged that the church wrote to A&E ahead of the debut of her series “Scientology and the Aftermath” to try and get the show pulled from the air.

Underground Bunker blogger Tony Ortega reports that the church wrote to the network, as well as parent ABC, calling Remini a “spoiled, entitled diva” and “has-been actress,” in efforts to quash Remini’s show about former members of the religion.

Remini’s lawyer wants “compensation for the past, present and ongoing reputational, emotional and economic injuries and damages [Remini has] suffered.”

I really hope that in her show she states clearly that the cult's actions are dictated by the Old Quack himself. He was hateful and vindictive anytime someone criticized him or his beloved organization. His polices on 'SPs' are to attack in anyway possible and dig up dirt on the person. And if no dirt can be found, make shit up and use ad hominem attacks. This behavior was not invented by COB. It is in the DNA of the cult. It is scientology....spew hate and seek vengeance against all who dare expose it's anti-social, hateful policies.

Leah was so great on ELLEN. It was far too short but she is such a lovable person. Look out Dave. Leah is proving to be your worst nightmare. You won't be taking her down.

Panic as Hurricane Leah Approaches

Mike Rinder: Panic as Hurricane Leah Approaches

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

As the time for the first episode of Leah Remini’s new show draws near, you can see the panic inside the bubble seeping out Out into the real world.

OSA has put their shills to work, spreading “good news”. Unfortunately they don’t have anything better than an old court case in Belgium from March. They plastered this everywhere at the time as if it was a massive “victory for religious freedom” – in fact it was a repudiation of prosecutorial incompetence. Now they are dusting off this old news and sending it out again. You may wonder what they think this will accomplish?

It’s POLICY. Fill the vacuum with good news. And they don’t have much.

They want to try and preempt Leah’s show with evidence that scientology is “winning” and “gaining more acceptance than ever in history” etc etc without mentioning Leah specifically. This will then “prove” that Leah (and me and anyone else on the show) are “screaming” because scientology is expanding so much. That is what L. Ron Hubbard says so it is true.

Leah Remini addressed her ongoing fight against the Church of Scientology on Wednesday, telling talk show host Ellen DeGeneres she felt a responsibility to speak out on behalf of people “bullied” by the organization.

Discussing her new A&E docu-series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, the actress and former church member said, “I felt I had a responsibility to say, ‘I’m not going to allow you to bully these people who were very brave to come out and tell their stories.’”

She added, “My story pales in comparison to what happened to other people, how people are bullied into silence. We don’t have $3 billion to protect ourselves, so what I have is, I’m an actress, and I’m able to speak, and I’m able to give a voice to people who might not have an Ellen to go on.”

Leah Remini is not giving up her fight against the Church of Scientology.

The actress, who is starring in an upcoming A&E docuseries titled Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, appears on Ellen DeGeneres' show Wednesday, where she talks about feeling a responsibility to speak out on behalf of the church's "victims."

"I was watching high executives, former executives of the church leaving and speaking out about abuses and things that they've experienced while working for the church, and I saw how the church reacted," the actress said. "I felt I had a responsibility to say, 'I'm not going to allow you to bully these people who were very brave to come out and tell their stories.' And that's for executives, but there are just average parishioners like me who leave and speak out about what they've experienced, and they lose their family. And so the church goes after their family to shun their family, oftentimes. I'm very lucky that that didn't happen to me. My family chose me."

Remini, who left the church in 2013, also wrote a best-selling book about her experiences, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology.

She called A&E and the people who appear in her show — former Scientology members who also speak out about their "abuse, heartbreak and harassment," according to A&E — "very brave...because there are repercussions to speaking out." For example, Remini said, she's been "followed" since leaving the church.

"But again, my story pales in comparison to what happened to other people, how people are bullied into silence," she said. "We don't have $3 billion to protect ourselves, so what I have is I'm an actress, and I'm able to speak, and I'm able to give a voice to people who might not have an Ellen to go on. I feel lucky and I feel blessed. That's kind of what my path is right now."

All this is quite sad. The Commodore, COB and all the rest of the creepy command channel culties are losing all their celebrities!

I believe Dr. Hubbard described such sucky stats as a "dwindling spiral".

OT celebs are pouring out like someone stood up in a crowded cult theater and yelled (wall of) FIRE!

Maybe it's not too late and the cult can turn it all around, producing a hit reality TV show called "BLOWING WITH THE STARS" where each week a guest celebrity tries to escape the hordes of salvation navy goons trying to stalk, capture, imprison and re-indoctrinate them so they are VVGI particles again. . .

Jeez, we lost Leah now too?!

TOM CRUISE
She must have gone by a word
or symbol that was not fully understood.

KIRSTIE ALLIE
I don't know about that. Leah had a really
expensive, limited edition, celebrity-only designer dictionary.

JOHN TRAVOLTA
Yeah! They gave me one of those too! Mine
has really cool pictures of little blue airplanes on it. I don't
think Leah's dictionary had airplanes on hers.

TOM CRUISE
Yeah, that would explain it. But to get
the little airplane pictures you have to earn it.
They're not just going to give that to everyone!

JOHN TRAVOLTA
Good point, she didn't even own jets
or have a private hangar or
even have a pilot's license!

KIRSTIE ALLIE
Does anyone know what kind of pictures
were on the celeb dictionary they gave Leah?

CELEBRITY COURSE SUPERVISOR
I'm not sure we need to know that, Kirstie.
Maybe I should give the three of you a "Start!"
now so we can get down to study and make
ourselves more able to salvage this sector of the universe.

JOHN TRAVOLTA
I'm feeling like I've got an MU on
what kind of pictures were on Leah's
dictionary. I don't think I can study past that.

TOM CRUISE
John that's not an MU. That's stupid. But, this
whole not-knowing what pictures Leah had on
her dictionary is absent mass. I am going to
take a break now and fly over to INT and
meet with COB personally--to get to the
bottom of this and slam in KSW!

Showbiz 411 has new revelations about Leah Remini's docuseries about Scientology.

Showbiz 411: In Leah Remini’s Scathing Anti-Scientology Documentary for A&E Is Scorching: Former Celeb Wrangler Admits How Tom Cruise Was “Surrounded” and Isolated

http://www.showbiz411.com/2016/11/2...ts-how-tom-cruise-was-surrounded-and-isolated

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

In the first episode she gets former celebrity wrangler Amy Scobee on tape and the interview is a wowzer. Scobee admits that she was in charge of making sure Tom Cruise was completely isolated in the cult. All of the people who worked in Cruise’s house were Scientologists and he was constantly under surveillance.

Scobee’s mother, Bonny Elliot, is also interviewed for the first time. That shouldn’t make anyone at Scientology too happy since Elliot was a long time member who finally broke with the cult when she discovered all that crazy and scary stuff they were up to.

I watched Leah's segment on Ellen today.

I liked what she had to say, but I'm afraid Ellen began to annoy me with her constant cutting her off and making herself look the bright spark instead of allowing Leah her spotlight.

But that does seem to be the way with news stories now. The host takes the spotlight and the guest takes second place.
