It was a bad day for Scientology when someone as intelligent, self-aware, and blunt as Leah left.

I think Tom Cruise thinks he’s above being brainwashed.

Why do people still call it a church? Call it a cult and name it what it is! Good job Leah.. very proud of you

I love this side of Leah. Sure we often see the candid,kidding around side of her. She’s real. Authentic. And she also knows when to pull it together and be serious like in this interview. She’s VERY well spoken. Love you Leah!

Love this lady she has more balls then many men in this cult. You go girl.

The biggest thing I don't understand about Scientology is how could people be so dedicated to LRH when he was a science FICTION writer. He literally made a religion based on a fictional story.

I'm so glad that there's brave people like Leah who stand by those who have been hurt by this very dangerous cult. And telling the truth of it's obvious abuses.

It's amazing how well articulate she is. Hope she can open the eyes of more people like she opened hers.

I have so much respect for this women. She can admit her wrongdoings and she is honest about who she is and what she stands for. I don't think we could ask for more from her. She cares and she gives but even better is she listens and she hears you !

She's a smart lady. I admire her for speaking out and for standing up to the bullies who have tried to discredit her.

This is so fascinating. I've always been shocked by the amount of people who have been taken in by Scientology because to me, Scientology always seemed like a cult. It's great that Leah Remini is speaking out about it.

PLEASE STOP CALLING IT A “Church!” 😡

She's incredibly fascinating and brave, I love this woman, she's actually helping the world

I read an article/interview about Tom Cruise once, and it was generally favorable, the reporter went to his house, they played tennis, etc., he described how Tom made him feel like his best friend. He then wrote it only struck him as he was leaving...he'd never been invited inside. That stuck with me for some reason, like he's great at putting up a great front, but you never really get close, never see what's really there.

I love Leah’s humility and honesty. I’ve never had time for Hollywood types, but my respect

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Most people don’t understand (because it’s such a different way of life) how BRAVE & STRONG one has to be to be doing & saying in front of the world what Leah is saying! God Bless her! Very strong & very courageous, not to mention she is such a hoot! If you think Leah is a good time, her mother is such a good time.

"Inventing is a good word" Go Leah! Spot on!

Tom Cruise is in total denial! Mr. Cruise, if you had very little money, how long do you think you would last in Scientology?? You wouldn't. God bless you, Leah, for being so brave in exposing this evil empire of spineless bullies. You go, girl!!!

As a former staffer...the money does not come to us. We were housed like animals 7 to a small apt.

Thank you for your bravery Leah, and for speaking out. I know this will help thousands of people

Stay strong Leah you are a hero

I love Leah. She’s a spit fire, a force to be reckoned with, I pray Gods protection over her and her family!

I offer so much respect to Leah to leave this organisation and talk about all the things they do. Such a strong and amazing woman. I wish her all the best from the bottom of my heart.

Power to you Liaha i have listened to a lot of ex scientology stories and cant believe the abuse the church is inflicting on the children of its members. The living conditions, abuse and being separated from their parents its shocking. How the people that leave the church struggle to find there feet in scociety. Scientology need to be held accountable xx

This makes me not wanna watch any Tom Cruise movie now damn it

Takes guts to stand (all but alone) & speak the truth. Respect to Leah for following her Heart.

"It's a pay as you go religion" that's an excellent way of describing it. For a so called 'church' they really aren't the nicest of people when outsiders try to find out about them. Very aggressive and secretive.

Great interview. Leah is so beautiful. I've been a super fan of hers forever. Thank God she was able to get out of that cult with her family.

She left right after I left the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Her sentiments echo so much of what I feel.

I like Leah Remini - intelligent, honest and doesn't throw her weight around and pretend to be a know it all. Instead, simply asks people to get informed themselves and research if they want to find out for themselves. I wish her well.

Fantastic woman, smoky sensuality aside, her bravery and selflessness should be honored.. what she’s doing is so brave. And important. More people should in the limelight come forward and back her up,it’s sad she gives this message alone.. but obviously they’re too chicken to take on IAS.. go Leah! I support you.

They created something they can’t control!!! Way to go Leah!!!

Leah your a BEAST!!! Dont stop woman

The more people that come forward with their horror stories, the more awareness is raised.. eventually this cult will implode 👍

I have never understood how they can refer to this as a church when they charge their membership for life improvement and spiritual guidance. It's BS from the get go. I am really happy that Leah finally decided to abandoned this total lie. She is much to valuable to us.

Does Larry ever let an interviewee finish an answer?

I am a proud Suppressive Person. My husband and I both look back at how disgusting and bad it is.

You also save me Leah.. I watch the movie and also the first season of your show. I was so close to let my bf convince me into it but im glad i googled the facts. He is soo brainwashed is sad to see it. He literally told me that the church has asked him many times to handle me so we broke up. It is hard but im glad it happened now and not 20-30 years from now 🙏🏻 thank you!

I absolutely love Leah Remini. She is such a strong woman and so admirable. She's not afraid to use her platform to speak out about this fkn cult. I hope her hard work puts a stop to all of this

Thank you Leah and Larry much power to you.

If you have to flee or escape your church.....you may be in a cult!😂

Lmfao the 34 people that disliked were scientologists that actually saw at least some of this :)

I can’t help but like Leah Remini. Aside from being a beautiful woman on the outside you can hear in her voice & see in her face the empathy & compassion she feels for others. I got the audio version of her book, “Troublemaker: Surviving Scientology & Hollywood” read by her (which I prefer when the author reads it) & it was wonderful. It covered most of her life from childhood, how she made it in Hollywood, & how she got into Scientology as a child. It’s funny, insightful, very interesting & emotional. I highly recommend it!

When inside Scientology, she thought she was saving the world. I love the irony that it took her leaving Scientology to truly start her efforts to save the world. Love it.

I'm glad that Leah has the balls to stand up against Scientology! I don't understand how people fell into a sy-fy writers world of religion! It shows me that most people are followers and do not question what's right in front of them.

Somewhere, David Miscavige is going apeshit right now and beating up some unfortunate Sea Org. drone who had the misfortune of being in his vicinity at the time.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves”

"So? Sue me." hahaha I love her!

I never was involved in any cult but I find Leah’s work so fascinating and courageous to do. I hope, she keeps going until some things change, because Scientology is abusive, dangerous, inhuman and also undemocratic!

I read her book in one single day. I could not put it down until it was done. So well written, her sense of humor shone through so well, and it educated me on a topic I didn't know much about. Bless. Also, how many times did he ask almost the same question that she's already answered?

I remember going over to my great grandmothers house when I was young and seeing all of these Scientology magazines and publications laying around her home. She became very involved them before she passed away and gave them lots of money.

Glad she got Out!! Its a Scary, Dangerous CULT!!!! STAY STRONG Leah!!!

She’s very ballsy

She's very well spoken.. It's amazing that she has escaped such an evil organization, and Cult! God Bless her and her family!

She is a real hero. Got her and her family out! Bravo!🤗🤗🤗

Leah Remini...a real force of truth and healing for the human species! 💖 I had been thinking about Scientology and never missed an episode of your documentary. That was all I needed to stir clear. 👍

This woman has bigger balls than any man I’ve ever met. I have so much respect for her for basically still putting her life on the line in order to save other people from this CULT.

I wanna hear her without her being interrupted every few seconds.

Lea is very well spoken and explains the workings of Scientology so clearly . She says she was in the church to help people . Now that she has seen first hand the evil within the organization and exposed it , she really is helping people !!!

Great interview. The Scientology organization leaders clearly haven't seen the "King of Queens" show and made a big mistake messing with this lady. I'm glad she overcame and is revealing the truth about them.

She is so awesome

I remember watching a documentary about scientology years ago, when Leah Remini was still in it. The whole time she was being interviewed, there were upper level scientoligest sitting in the room. I thought then it was really creepy and controlling, that they wouldn't even let her do an interview alone.

Fair play to her 👏 💯 no reverse gear in her and I'm so happy that she has spoken out about this

Leah, Is Guiding Everyone Out Of This Cult “One By One” ♥️

Wow! She is very brave.

As time goes by, she is able to be more truthful with her own personal experience. That's nice to see.

In the mid 90’s, my Uncle and his wife talked me into going to this “great church”… I went and it seemed really nice… it was The church of Scientology. I mentioned it to my family and they told me it was a cult. I thought “that was harsh”. They told me to see if there was a Bible there… so I did. There were no Bibles. I went into their bookstore and asked if they had any Bibles. A lady asked what I was looking for to help myself with and directed me to many self-help books but had no Bibles… I told her I was not looking for those books and suddenly there were 3 more males and a female getting closer to me and “trying to help”… I felt incredibly uncomfortable and made a beeline for the door! Never went back! SO thankful I didn’t get involved with this church! God is love. The only thing required to get to Heaven is to believe that God sent His only son, Jesus, to die for all of our sins so that we could be saved. I pray for healing and true love to all who have been deceived and hurt so deeply.

Some MLMs mimic a "cult". The parallels to the controlling behaviors and investing lots of money under the premise of getting ahead/attaining higher levels within the "organization". Many things Remini says about Scientology resonates with my experience(s) with certain MLMs.

I'm really fascinated by all this... I appreciate what she's doing.

They've told a d convinced Tom he's some kind of special messenger. They hold him up as something special and panders to his ego. That's why he is so invested

I'm so in love with Leah. Great for her that her life is back in order and she's in a good, happy relationship with no outside interference in her life.

I respect that she was willing to publicly disclose her own faults. That's difficult to do.

I love how strong she is.

Love you Leah!!! You are awesome! Thank you for fighting for people and standing up against an abusive cult. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

She’s a brilliant person and she has a point blank answer for every one of Larry’s questions and she’s a great spokesman for being against Scientology and for revealing Scientology for what it is a scam

She's an absolute legend!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible women!!!!!!!!!! Strong and brave and soooooo honest and true!!!!!!! Total respect to you leah

This woman is extremely courageous, beautiful on the inside and out. LOVE her!

Just realized how old Larry was when he said he interviews Hubbard.. LMAO

Great series! Way to go Leah! 🥰

So proud of this beautiful young lady!!! I was a long time Tom Cruise fan, until he went cult crazy. Apparently telling Katie she was not allowed to make noise or have medication during labor. I have no respect for him or John Travolta as well. His son died bc he & his wife denied their son Jett the seizure medicine he needed, which led to him drowning after a seizure. I just wonder if they did anything medically possible when his wife Kelly was diagnosed w cancer? God rest her.

What's crazy is higher up scientologists are watching everything Leah does, probably posting in these comments rn, to try to slander her and lie to defend themselves.

Thank you for sharing. This could save lot's of people from being decived by Scientology.

I was thinking of joining Scientology but I am thankful for your exposure of who they truly are which is the definition of a cult and not a real religion.

Great show! Thank you Leah Remini! I still shudder when I think back to a time in the late 1980s. There was a lady Scientologist living in my block of flats at the time. My Stepbrother often used to visit me. And over time he got talking to this lady, who managed to persuade him to read the book on Dianetics. He came extremely close to joining Scientology. He was 21, and this was way before the internet etc. The change in him over the weeks that followed after a few discussions with this woman, and after attending a few meetings with her at her center were frightening to say the least. Baring in mind, none of us really knew then, what we now know about this cult. Yet, I feared by Stepbrother was becoming brainwashed and I kept telling him that something felt terribly off......... I won't go into all the details of how and when he had the breakthrough ( it was a horrible experience for him. ) However, I am forever grateful that he decided not to join.

May 👼 Angels continue to wrap their loving protective arms around her- Leah Remini -and her family to keep them safe from these Scientology 😈 Devils. Amen☺

What an utterly amazing woman. Give 'em hell, lady- glad you're not after me!

Difference between religion and a cult is how they act when you want to leave!

ESTA MUJER VALE ORO ! God help , and protect her .

Thank you Leah for being so strong and an inspiring woman! May peace and happiness live in your heart forever. ❤️😘

"Billion year contracts" - selling your soul to the devil.

She’s easy listening. Obviously knowledgeable about this cult , she’s genuine , honest and very intelligent. Thank you.

Leah is such an amazing woman. I’ve been a fan of hers for years!

If a religion demands that you pay to play ... it’s not worth it. It should be out of goodness of your heart donations, not “demands”. Anytime a organization forces you to do things against your better judgement ...

Jesus Larry, needs to learn to let people finish a single sentence before interrupting them with a diverting question. I'm amazed that bossy remini who always tries to dominate whoever she's talking to, didn't directly say "YO - let me finish!"

This interview would be a lot better if Larry king didn’t interrupt her during every single answer.

THE SIMPLE FACT THAT YOU CANT QUESTION YOUR OWN CHURCH WITHOUT PUNISHMENT IS A HUGE RED FLAG 🚩

Amazing that she said her biggest fear in all this is that nothing happens. I was so sure she would say her biggest fear is for her life. That shows how much she wants the truth out and how genuine she is!

I'm having a hard time discerning whether Larry King is just being a tough interviewer to draw out thorough answers, or if he is covering himself from being seen hostile towards the Church.

I love her bravery!!!

Thank you for exposing this cult. I was thinking of possibly joining but because of your exposure I will not be joining and will speak out against it to all my friends and family. It’s truly evil what they are doing to families and hopefully more and more people will see their true intentions and steer far away from them. Thank you once again.
