Leah Remini Files Lawsuit Against Church Of Scientology For Stalking And Harassment

Leah Remini, the well-known actress from ‘King of Queens,’ has filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige. The legal action comes after a 17-year-long period of alleged “harassment, intimidation, surveillance, and defamation” by the institution. Remini, who left the church in 2013 after decades of membership, has since been vocal about her campaign against Scientology.

Advocating for Victims of Scientology

In a lengthy statement on her social media account, Leah Remini expressed that while advocating for victims of Scientology has had a significant impact on her life and career, the church’s attempts to silence her have not succeeded. She believes that the lawsuit not only represents her own experiences but also those of the thousands of other targets of Scientology over the past seven decades.

Shedding Light Through Documentary

The actress hosted a documentary series called ‘Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath’ from 2016 to 2019. In the series, she shared the stories of individuals who left the church and faced alleged ostracization and harassment from the institution. Her efforts aimed to bring awareness to the issues faced by ex-Scientologists.

Standing for Freedom of Expression

Leah Remini’s tweet emphasized the importance of allowing people to share their experiences with Scientology without fear of retaliation from an institution with significant resources and tax exemption. She stated that individuals, including children and family members, should be able to request welfare checks without facing activation against them by the church.

Protecting Rights and Constitution

Remini hopes that the lawsuit will protect the rights afforded to her and others by the Constitution of the United States. She aims to speak the truth and report the facts about Scientology without fear of retribution. The lawsuit, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, accuses the Church of Scientology of stalking, surveilling, harassing, threatening, and intimidating her.

A Fight Against Disconnection

Leah Remini has been outspoken about her disapproval of Scientology’s practice of “disconnection,” which forces followers to cut ties with family members. She firmly believes in the value of questioning things, cherishing family and friendships, and maintaining the freedom to think and communicate without restrictions imposed by others.

Allegations of Death Threats

In 2018, Leah Remini alleged that the church had sent her death threats in response to her activism against Scientology. The ongoing legal battle sheds light on the alleged practices and tactics of the institution.

Seeking Justice and Protection

With the lawsuit, Leah Remini seeks justice for herself and others who have faced alleged harassment and intimidation by the Church of Scientology. She hopes to safeguard the freedom of expression and protect the rights of those who have been affected by the institution.
