LEAH REMINI'S LAWSUIT AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY: HER SPECIFIC ALLEGATIONS
Tony Ortega
Aug 2, 2023
Yashar Ali just dropped another bombshell: Leah Remini’s new lawsuit against Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige.
It’s a huge complaint, and we’ve pulled out the specific allegations related to Leah for you to look over here.
Now, finally, we see that Leah is alleging that iHeart and Audioboom were both intimidated by Scientology out of continuing her podcast series, and so much more.
Dive in and tell us what you think Miscavige is going to regret the most about harassing this woman.
C. Leah Remini
Ms. Remini’s Indoctrination into Scientology
66. While this lawsuit concerns what happened after Ms. Remini left Scientology, her experience in Scientology helps to explain why Scientology has been so determined to silence her and others.
67. Beginning at age eight, Ms. Remini effectively lost her mother as a parent when her mother joined Scientology. Ms. Remini’s mother often left her two daughters alone so that she could devote herself to Scientology. At the age of 13, Ms. Remini and her sister were made to leave the only home they ever knew and were forced to join the Sea Org by their mother. As part of joining, they were forced to sign billion-year contracts. Ms. Remini was deprived of a formal education or a normal childhood and made to perform manual labor and spend hours learning the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard. She was taught as a child to believe that her personal sacrifice would save the planet. Years of brainwashing and conditioning put Ms. Remini in a position where Scientology was the only reality for her. As with most Scientologists, Scientology was Ms. Remini’s primary caretaker. She was a member of Scientology for over 35 years.
68. During the period of time when Ms. Remini was a Scientologist, she was forced to pay for and undergo thousands of hours of Scientology training, at substantial cost to her, to move up what is known as Scientology’s Bridge to Total Freedom. These training sessions took many forms of conditioning and abuse which involved verbally, physically, and sexually abusive practices. One training technique known as “bull baiting” placed her, a young girl, with an older male Scientologist who is required to find her “buttons” (vulnerabilities that would bother her), screamed expletives at her, made sexually suggestive remarks to her, and verbally abused her for hours in an effort to condition her to not react to abuse. These training routines (“TRs”) which are required for all Scientologists, are part of the procedures to condition Scientologists to accept abuse and inflict abuse without hesitation. These TRs rob minor children of their natural protective instincts and open them up to sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
69. Ms. Remini estimates that she spent over $5 million over the course of her time as a Scientologist. These funds were spent on her so-called spiritual enlightenment and those of her family members and friends. Approximately half of her funding was for services that she purchased, as from any other business. Ms. Remini’s donations also included giving to the International Association of Scientologists (“IAS”), for which there is no exchange of Scientology services. The IAS is known as David Miscavige’s war chest. Scientologists are required to pre-pay for their services and after Ms. Remini was declared a Suppressive Person, she was unable to obtain repayment of monies she had in her and her family’s Scientology accounts.
70. While Ms. Remini was a Scientologist, giving millions of dollars to Scientology, serving as a public face for Scientology, recruiting people individually to join Scientology, helping to move Scientologists on their bridge, and donating to outside groups at the behest of Scientology, she frequently was held up as an example of a model Scientologist and praised repeatedly for her contributions. She was awarded commendations by David Miscavige, Tom Cruise, and by the very people who later attacked her in Scientology-produced videos, despite repeatedly having been asked to appear in Scientology videos herself. As soon as she left and spoke out against Scientology, she was labeled by the organization she supported financially as an untrustworthy apostate, as has been the case for staff members, Sea Org members and other Scientologists who have left Scientology or and who have spoken out, and for non-Scientologists who have made a joke about Scientology, reported crimes against, or advocated for victims of Scientology.
71. Scientology's campaign to destroy Ms. Remini began in 2006, seven years before she publicly left Scientology in the summer of 2013. This background is described solely to provide context for Scientology’s attacks on Ms. Remini after she publicly left Scientology.
72. In 2006, Ms. Remini and her husband attended the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Italy. Cruise, David Miscavige's best friend, is essentially second in command in Scientology. It is a High Crime in Scientology to criticize him in any way. In 2004, David Miscavige told an audience of Scientologists at a gala in England that Cruise was “the most dedicated Scientologist I know.”
73. The Cruise-Holmes wedding was billed within Scientology as “The Wedding of the Century.” Because of Mr. Cruise's status within Scientology and how important this event was, Ms. Remini was shocked to discover that David Miscavige's wife, Michele (“Shelly”) Miscavige, was nowhere to be found. Shelly Miscavige held the title of “Assistant to Chairman of the Board (COB)” and her job was to constantly record everything he said so that a team of secretaries could later transcribe his words and orders for dissemination throughout Scientology.
74. When Ms. Remini asked a group of Scientology executives and Tom Cruise’s personal handlers, Tom Davis, Jessica Feshback, and Javier Ruiz, “Where is Shelly?," she was immediately admonished by the group, despite the fact that she and Ms. Miscavige were good friends.
75. Ms. Remini witnessed other behavior at the wedding that set off red flags for her, including unethical contacts between various Scientology executives and others at the wedding which she understood to be forbidden by Scientology teachings
