“King of Queens” star Leah Remini is making a dramatic break from the Church of Scientology, a source said, after being subjected to years of “interrogations” and “thought modification” for questioning leader David Miscavige’s rule.
The source tells us Remini is quitting because of policies that don’t allow parishioners to question Miscavige’s management or the reported abuse of members of its Sea Org religious order — and for forcing followers to “disconnect” from family members branded as “suppressive persons” if they choose to leave the church.
“It all began when Leah questioned the validity of excommunication of people,” a source said of her decision. “She is stepping back from a regime she thinks is corrupt. She thinks no religion should tear apart a family or abuse someone under the umbrella of ‘religion.’ ”
Former Sea Org member Mike Rinder blogged this week that at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ 2006 wedding, Remini innocently asked where Miscavige’s wife, Shelly, was. Former Scientology Celebrity Centre head Tommy Davis scolded her, “You don’t have the [bleeping] rank to ask about Shelly.” Mrs. Miscavige reportedly hasn’t been seen in public since 2007.
As a result, Remini “was put through interrogations and blacklisted within the church that she donated millions to and that her family has spent their lives in. She was put through ‘thought modification’ for five years,” our source said.
The source added that church friends Remini had for “25 to 30 years wrote internal reports” about her that “caused an investigation on her family.”

I wish her well. I doubt that the Scientologists will go after her tooth and nail as they have been known to do with their less famous detractors.
I’m sick of cults masquerading as a religion.
Smokin hot! Damn.
Who dat ?
Good for her. Welcome back to reality.
She really plumped up during pregnancy, but looks like she’s lost most of it now.
Her voice drives me nuts (like nails on a blackboard).
But I am glad she got out.
Now we need people to wake up and realize liberalism is even more controlling and damaging than Scientology!
After the Clinton Administration, Scientology is no longer a “cult”, it has full government recognition as a tax free religion. With auditing and trademarked “industry secrets”.
Absolutely no sympathy for this lame brained actress. She knew EXACTLY what “religion” she was joining.
BTW, I would have sued her if I produced “King of Queens” for the enormous weight gain she exhibited on that show. A b@tchy knockout can be tolerated. A FAT b@tch actress, whose only responsibilities were to look good and say her lines , was inexcusable.
She is nasty and foul mouthed. She is not endearing in any way.
I had a bit of fun with Scientologists in Israel (where they are now banned, I think).
Anyway, I went to MIT and knew all about them. They have this goofy meaningless test to see your “mental abilities” or something. Multiple choice thing, probably 100 questions.
Anyway, the test floated around MIT with the right answers for a while. I read it and you can easily memorize the correct style of answers -— I considered it “thinking like a sociopath.”
Well, they were at some event along the Charles River with the booth, and I went up and took their free test -— and got an unheard of 100.
On my form, my birthday was the day L Ron Hubbard died. (I had a red beard then -— since turned black.)
Said my name was Larry Ronald Hoesfstra or something.
I was telling (lying to) them about dreams I had that were right from the “Thetan Level” B.S. revelations that were also floating around MIT at the time — things I knew they’d recognize.
Anyway, they were flabbergasted by the score and all but tried to kidnap me, thinking I was LRonHubbard reborn or something.
