Oh boy! Actress Leah Remini is probably stepping her security up a notch after her latest interview.
On Tuesday, ahead of the premiere of her new eight-part series Scientology and the Aftermath, the 46-year-old participated in a reddit Q&A session called I am Leah Remini, Ask Me Anything about Scientology.
“Hi everyone, I’m Leah Remini, author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology. I’m an open book so ask me anything about Scientology,” the star began.
True to her word, Leah gave a searingly honest insight into her former religion, which she left in 2013.
Here are some of her most alarming claims below…
Leah alleges that Scientologists believe Tom Cruise is the church’s messiah
When quizzed on the religion’s most famous poster boy, Leah explained: “Parishioners believe that [Tom Cruise] he is single-handedly changing the planet because that is what the ‘Church’ is telling them.”
The Church will hunt down deflectors
One user asked the actress what the most horrible thing she’d witnessed the church do, Leah’s response was worrying.
“I would say the ‘church’s’ Fair Game policy, and how they systematically go after anyone who publicly speaks out against them. Anyone who speaks out against the ‘church’ is seen as an enemy,” she wrote.
“The most abusive thing that I’ve experienced is seeing the victims being further victimized by an organization that claims these things did not take place … from physical, to sexual, to mental abuse,” The King of Queens actress later added.

Former Scientologists are forbidden from communicating with each other
Another common question on the reddit thread was whether ex-Scientologists could support each other, according to Leah it’s simply not an option.
“The policy of the ‘Church’ does not allow them to come to me. Former high ranking Sea Org members like Debbie Cook and former members like Katie Holmes are forbidden to speak to other SPs [suppressive person]. Certain members are forced to sign agreements that does not allow them to speak to ex members.”
Leah alleges the leader of the church, David Miscavige, thinks Scientology is a scam
“Do the higher ups know it’s a scam or do they really believe this crap?” One fan questioned.
“The higher up is singular. And he definitely knows. However I believe most parishioners and Sea Org members (people who work for the ‘church’) are in the dark and believe that they are doing amazing things for the world. And David Miscavige [the leader of Scientology] is directly responsible for that fraud,” Leah responded.
The actress alleged ex-Scientologists like Katie Holmes are forbidden to getting in touch with other deflectors for support.
She still has no idea where David Miscavige’s wife Shelly, who hasn’t been seen in public since 2007, is
“I actually do not know. Ask the LAPD,” Leah said.
Over the years, there’s been plenty of speculation over Shelly’s whereabouts. And while the Church of Scientology refuse to reveal her exact location, in 2013 after Leah filed a missing person report, Shelley reportedly spoke with the Los Angeles Police Department to confirm she hand’t been kidnapped.
Despite the threats she’s received from speaking out against Scientology, Leah feels safe
“I feel very safe. I have the support of my family and friends. And, I feel strangely protected by the world at large.”

The Church of Scientology are yet to respond to Leah’s latest comments.
However, following the release of her memoir last year they released this scathing statement: “Desperate for attention with an acting career stuck in a nearly decade-long tailspin, Leah Remini needs to move on with her life.”
“Instead, she seeks publicity by maliciously spreading lies about the Church using the same handful of bitter zealots who were kicked out years ago for chronic dishonesty and corruption and whose false claims the Church refuted years ago, including through judicial decisions.”
Last year, the actress exposed the church in an explosive memoir called Troublemaker : Surviving Hollywood and Scientology.
