Last night, Leah Remini posted a longer, more detailed remembrance of her Scientology and the Aftermath co-star Mike Rinder at her Substack, several days after her first posting following his January 5 death from cancer.

It’s an emotional tribute, and we appreciated the new glimpses that Leah provides about her days before deciding to emerge from Scientology in 2013, three years before she and Mike began their A&E television series.

Mike had defected from Scientology in 2007, and had been a part of the group of former church executives who spoke to the Tampa Bay Times for their epic 2009 series, “The Truth Rundown.”

Leah had watched that happen, but in 2013 she was still technically in Scientology when she reached out to Mike to talk to him about the things he was saying about it.

Thanks for posting. Very beautiful, very moving, even inspiring. Unlike many "ex-Scientologists", Mike Rinder connected with his natural presence, able to appreciate, accept, and love, rather than be insensitive to another's feelings to insist that someone take action based on his own feelings. He truly rose above the "bank" of Scientology-inspired think to be genuine, rather than assuming a self-serving posture. He was acting for, not against. Makes you want to be a better person.
