Leah Remini: Scientology Church is Full of Rape, Forced Abortions!
Leah Remini is about to unleash Scientology bombshells that will shake the very foundations of the controversial church.
And naturally, you know, we can’t wait.
In her new series, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, debuts on November 29th on A&E, and the trailer for the series is as about compelling as it gets.
The feature showcases Remini and other former Scientologists discussing their experiences, and some of these stories are downright harrowing.
In the clip, one of the interviewees talks about Scientology rape and forced abortions.
Another person talks about being “beaten” by the “Pope” of Scientology.
Further, a man addresses being beaten by Scientology’s CEO, David Miscavige.
“David Miscavige took a hammer to my face,” the scarred man claimed.
Remini’s end goal for the show is to “fight for your family,” she said.
“Fight for your sons, your daughters,” alluding to her own long and arduous break from Scientology, which almost consumed her family life.
Leah says, “My whole life, I was a very dedicated Scientologist.”
“I didn’t want to find out what I’d done was a lie.”
“Something inside of me was saying ‘Get them out of this thing,’ ” she revealed about her family’s ties to the CoS.
Another woman explained, “I was 14 when I started in Scientology.”
“I had a boss who was 35 years old and we had sex.”
“The organization,” she revealed, “did not tell my mother, did not tell the police, they’re gonna sweep it under the carpet, and it’ll all be over with.”
Remini also talks about abuse and abortions within the Church.
In a report by Radar Online, it was mentioned that Remini was even followed by those believed to be part of the organization while she filmed the aforementioned documentary.
Remini reportedly revealed, “I was having dinner with [friends], and I noticed two cars parked across the street in an empty lot.
“I asked [one of the friends], do you think we’re being followed?”
“They weren’t doing a very good job of being inconspicuous,” she was said to claim. “I think they wanted to be seen.”
“I was with Mike Rinder [former senior executive of the Church of Scientology International and Sea Org] and it became obvious that they were spying on us,” she admitted.
“I’m used to people following me,” she conceded, “but I’m used to them being paparazzi.”
“They’re people who have cameras in their hands, and you know what they want. I’ve never been a fan of the paparazzi.”
“But this was different,” she continued.
“I want to expose the private investigators that Scientology is sending to follow people like me.”
“This causes me some concern,” she added. “I have a child.”
We don’t know about y’all, but we sure can’t wait to sink our teeth into some juicy SP dirt later this month.
Meanwhile, be easy, Remini – and careful, too.

Val Kilmer: I Don"t Have Cancer! Michael Douglas is Full of S--t!
After Michael Douglas revealed (erroneously) that Val Kilmer has cancer, the latter opened up about his health in a rare public statement.
What did Kilmer have to say on Facebook?
Douglas implied Kilmer was battling throat cancer, as he Michael had, fueling suspicion that Val is hospitalized and near death.
According to Val, Michael is well-meaning.
But he is also incorrect in his comment.
“I love Michael Douglas but he is misinformed,” Kilmer wrote on Facebook, refuting Douglas’ claims that he suffers from the disease.
“The last time I spoke to him was almost two years ago, when I asked him for a referral for a specialist to get a diagnosis for a lump in my throat.”
“[That] prevented me from continuing a tour of my play CITIZEN TWAIN. I ended up using a team at UCLA and have no cancer whatsoever.”
“I still have a swollen tongue and am rehabbing steadily.”
Douglas surprisingly shared his belief that Kilmer was suffering from cancer during a Q&A with Jonathan Ross in London on Sunday.
“Val was a wonderful guy who is dealing with exactly what I had [tongue cancer],” he revealed. “My prayers are with him.”
“That’s why you haven’t heard too much from Val lately.”
According to Douglas, things didn’t “look too good.”
Kilmer continued his clarification on social media:
“Some fans have mistakenly thought my silence about my personal issues meant that somehow I wasn’t being responsible to my health.”
“Because of my reliance on prayer and Love,” Kilmer, a practicing Christian Scientist, continued, people get the wrong idea about him.
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he insists.
“Altho I am very grateful for all the support from around the world, when people found out I had a physical challenge,” he adds.
“I hope this puts to rest any further concerns about my health by publications that have no respect for the truth.”
He adds that there are no hard feelings, though.
“Whatever led Michael Douglas to speculate about my health, he’s a loving and devoted friend to a privileged group of talented people.”
“I’m sure he meant no harm,” Kilmer said.
“Being healthy and having the respect of my peers and love from my family, friends, peers and fans is a DAILY source of inspiration.”
“I am so grateful, you have no idea. I work VERY hard at my craft, and being appreciated since I was a little boy for being able to give this gift.”
“It has literally made my life. Thank you all.”
“And I’ve only just begun, now that I’m finally telling stories that I’ve written and produced the way my vision intends them. God bless you all.”
As recently as last winter, Kilmer had been wearing tracheotomy tube, sparking speculation that he had been struggling with his health.
The scarves he was wearing seemed to be more than a fashion statement, but he seems to be putting the rumors to rest … for now.
