Leah Remini Rips “Criminal” Scientology In Aftermath Of Danny Masterson Prison Sentencing

deadline.com:

Already engaged in a lawsuit of her own against Scientology, Leah Remini lambasted the Church today following the sentencing of prominent Scientologist Danny Masterson to 30 years in prison on rape convictions.

Calling the David Miscavige-led organization “a multibillion-dollar criminal organization with tax-exempt status,” the former King of Queens star and ex-Scientologist took to social media to center on the Church’s alleged “cover-up” of Masterson’s crimes and others. “For over two decades, Danny Masterson avoided accountability for his crimes,” Remini tweeted Thursday (see her full statement below). “While Danny was the only one sentenced, his conviction and sentence are indictments against Scientology, its operatives, and its criminal leader, David Miscavige.” Remini, who has battled with the Church of Scientology for years, was in the packed Los Angeles courtroom today as Masterson received his sentence.

At one point, as the court was taking a short break before sentencing, Remini and a publicist for the defense got into a brief exchange at the back of the courtroom.

Remini exclaimed, “You got the wrong one, girl!” and as Remini walked by, the publicist replied, “Don’t talk to me!” The Masterson sentencing came a week after Remini filed an amended complaint in her harassment suit against the Church, Miscavige and others.
