Actor Leah Remini has filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige, alleging that she has been threatened, harassed, and stalked for the past decade. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court and claims that Remini has been the victim of “intentional malicious and fraudulent rumors via hundreds of Scientology-controlled and -coordinated social media accounts that exist solely to intimidate and spread misinformation.”
Remini, who left the church in 2013 after being a member since childhood, is seeking injunctive relief to end Scientology’s policies against Suppressive Persons, so that current and former Scientologists, and others who wish to expose Scientology’s abuses, including journalists and advocates, may feel free to hold Scientology accountable without fear of being threatened into silence.
The actor is best known for her role in the sitcom “King of Queens” and co-created and hosted an anti-Scientology documentary series, “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath,” which aired from 2016 to 2019 on A&E and won two Emmy awards.
The Church of Scientology has yet to comment on the lawsuit. However, the organization has long denied any allegations of harassment or intimidation of former members. Remini’s lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal actions taken against the Church of Scientology by former members.
