Leah Remini Files Harassment Lawsuit Against Church of Scientology

Leah Remini has been a vocal critic of the Church of Scientology since leaving it in 2013, exposing alleged abusive practices through her memoir, Emmy-winning docuseries, and legal actions. She claims the Church has harassed and surveilled her and her 20-year-old daughter, Sofia, leading to a lawsuit filed in August 2023, with a trial set for October 2025. Despite ongoing intimidation, Remini remains steadfast in her advocacy and credits therapy for helping her heal from the damage caused during her 30 years in Scientology. The Church denies the allegations, calling Remini's claims baseless and accusing her of harassment. Remini's departure has come at significant personal cost, including threats against her family and the emotional toll of constant surveillance. Meanwhile, the Church of Scientology continues to face increased public scrutiny and legal challenges amid a broader backlash against its practices.
