Excerpt:
Scientology’s attorneys filed two lengthy briefs in Leah Remini’s lawsuit this week, and today we have the longer of the two in its entirety.
It’s the Church of Scientology International’s “appellant’s reply brief,” and once again the church is arguing that it has said such terrible things about Leah in an online onslaught because, well, she started it first.
Leah filed her lawsuit in August 2023 against three defendants: CSI, the Religious Technology Center (the nominally controlling entity in the Scientology movement), and RTC’s Chairman of the Board (and the ultimate leader of the church) David Miscavige.
She’s alleging that since she left Scientology in 2013, she’s been subjected to a nonstop campaign of online smears and in-person harassment that is intended, as Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard laid out in a policy called “Fair Game,” to destroy her utterly.
Scientology responded by filing anti-SLAPP motions, asking Judge Randolph Hammock to gut the case by removing defamation claims that it said were merely opinion about Remini and not statements of fact. Judge Hammock did remove some of the defamation claims, but denied other Scientology arguments and left in almost all of her causes of action.
