Leah Remini has announced she’s suing the Church of Scientology. On Wednesday, the 53-year-old actress took to X (Twitter) to share some “important news” with everyone.

In the lengthy post, she revealed she filed a lawsuit against the church and its leader, David Miscavige: The King of Queens alum went on to say that the church’s alleged attempts to “silence” her haven’t worked, and she will continue to fight for the “victims” of the “cult with a tax exemption and billions in assets”: Whoa.

She continued and said the press, as well as families of Scientology members, law enforcement, and those in the entertainment industry, shouldn’t face an alleged “sophisticated intelligence operation” from the church — one that she claims destroys “lives and careers”: Leah finished up her statement by saying she’s doing this to help those who don’t have a way to “fight back”: See her full statement (below): As we’ve previously covered, the Kevin Can Wait star has been very outspoken about her experiences with Scientology for years.
