Leah Remini on CoS: Its all we really knew. But over time, my eyes got opened
I forgot that Leah Remini is doing Dancing with the Stars this season. That should be good. I’m being serious! Leah loves to cuss, so ABC is going to have a hell of a time bleeping her during rehearsals. These are some pics of Leah going into DWTS rehearsals last week – say goodbye to your feet, Leah. Maybe she’ll survive all of the cuts – DWTS memorably had Kirstie Alley on a few years ago, and that was full of Xenu propaganda and craziness. It should get interesting… do you think the Church of Scientology cares enough to actively try to destroy Leah’s chances on DWTS? I do.
Speaking of all of that, Leah was Ellen DeGeneres first celebrity guest on yesterday’s premiere of Ellen’s Season 11. Amazingly enough, Ellen didn’t walk on eggshells around the subject of Xenu, although Ellen wasn’t, like, going full-force either. I’m sure Ellen and Leah agreed to talk about it beforehand, and while Leah’s answers felt rehearsed, they also seemed… pained. Like she’s sad about everything that’s gone down.
Leah says, “We lost friends who can no longer talk to us who are still in the organization…But we have other friends, who are not in the church, who have stood by us and that’s all we can ask for.” Leah also explains how she got involved with Xenu: “My mother got involved when we were very young, so it’s all we really knew. But over time, my eyes got opened and I could just no longer be affiliated with the organization, and my family felt the same, so we left.”
Does anyone else think it’s interesting that Ellen seemed unafraid of asking some pointed questions about CoS? It’s almost like people are no longer afraid of what David Miscavige could do to them. Plus, I’d rather have Ellen DeGeneres on my side as opposed to… John Travolta?
