LEAH’S BATTLE WITH THE CHURCH
Funny lady Leah Remini is dead serious when it comes to taking down Scientology. That’s been the mission of her Emmy-winning docuseries,
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, and now the former Scientologist, 49, wants to sue the church. “There are multiple lawsuits — one having to do with children who were allegedly physically, mentally and sexually assaulted while in Scientology,” says a source close to the star, “and another regarding adults who’ve allegedly been harassed due to the policies of Scientology.” A spokeswoman for the church calls the claims “false and unfounded” and says there’s “no credible evidence supporting the allegations.” (As Us previously reported, an anonymous woman known as “Jane Doe” filed a suit against Scientology on June 18, accusing the church of kidnapping, stalking, human trafficking and false imprisonment, among other charges.) Domingo applauds Remini’s tactics: “People are listening to her, and that terrifies Miscavige,” she says. “Leah hasn’t been intimidated or paid off, and that’s a real problem for the church.”
