Leah says Tom Cruise thinks she is the devil

-

The 46-year-old actress abandoned the Church of Scientolog­y in 2013 after 30 years and has been working on a new A&E docuseries 'Leah Remini: Scientolog­y and the Aftermath' in order to expose it and says Tom and other members of the church see her as the enemy. In an interview for 'Larry King Now', she said: "He thinks I'm the devil. Tom and most Scientolog­ists, all Scientolog­ists, are taught to believe that people like me are literally the devil, that we mean them harm. "Tom is a dedicated and loyal Scientolog­ist. Tom is very well-aware of what is Scientolog­y, truthfully. He is very well-aware that it's an organisati­on that is defrauding people out of their lives. But in his heart, I believe he believes it." When asked if she thinks Tom is "delusional", Leah said: "I could say that about myself at the time. "I didn't want to look. I didn't want to believe that what I've been involved in my whole life was a lie, that it was damaging and hurting people. Yeah, you can say I was delusional." Speaking previously about her reason for making the documentar­y, Leah said: "For too long, this multi-billion-dollar organisati­on bullied victims and journalist­s to prevent the truth being told. It is my hope that we shed light on informatio­n that makes the world aware of what is really going on and encourages others to speak up. "Even though I had been a member of the church for a long time, I was stunned by some of the things I learned. There is a lot more to this story than anyone knows. And this series is breaking ground in bringing that informatio­n to light."
