Leah Remini and her family left Scientology in 2013 and had a brutal falling out. Attack dog Kirstie Alley went after her publicly. Her friends for life in the cult “disconnected” from her, and she’s never heard from them again. She told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show: “These are friends that we’ve had for dozens of years. But I have great friends that are not in the church that have stood by us, and our family is stronger, we’re together, and that’s all I could ask for.”
But Remini stood her ground. Overnight she sent out a Tweet thanking the people who made the movie “Going Clear” now showing on HBO:
Thank you to the brave who did something about it. And to those who didn’t have a voice, you do now. #GoingClear
