Leah Remini Talks About Katie Holmes Leaving Scientology

[@BunnySlippers82]

Katie Holmes had to have her father secretly get her a burner phone to organize her escape. This suggests a frightening level of control and paranoia within that cult. Glad she and Suri And Leah all made it out of there safely!

[@sherryd3299]

Her dad also told her to take her daughter to New York with her and file for divorce there, not in LA where Tom is God.

[@marciabramson6194]

Yes yes ,,,,, I vividly remember all of this. Katie had to quickly escape. Only chance to survive with her child. Thank goodness it was all successful for them. Supposedly there was something Katie had re tc. Information of sorts. That she would "tell" if he or his 🤪 crazy cult tried to do to her. Whew. She certainly escaped a bullet. If harmed, tc would have taken Suri away. Raised her with cult. Same as he's done with 2 older children with Nicole Kidman. A very very sick culture ,,,,,, ALL of lies. 😢 😔

Did she abandon two children who called her Mom? She fired Isabella from a job in rejection of her when Isabella helped care for Suri her whole life. Adopted stepchildren don’t need help from a cult but Suri did???

I'll say this for Leah Remini, even though she's left this cult and she was treated badly by these people and she's now dedicated to taking them down she does it in the most respectful way. She still is careful to follow rules so people still inside don't get hurt, she tells people not to laugh when she talks about the doctrine. She's excellent at calmly and thoughtfully explaining just how Scientology works and by resisting any urge to get angry or passionate she manages to make it even clearer just how dangerous it is.

I remember when Tom and Katie were on Oprah before they got married, and Oprah mentioned that Katie's parents were devout Catholic and asked if they were OK about the Scientology stuff. Before Katie could say a word Tom jumped in and explained that they were very very happy about it and had absolutely no problems. I wish I could have seen those parents' faces at that moment.

[@creator2149]

He made her exercise and run marathons. He told her she couldn't get an epidural during child birth, and no screaming either, so as not to stress the baby. She was pretty much a conditioned zombie when the baby was born. Photos pre Tom. Photos post Tom. Clearly, she was being run into the ground just like every other Scientologist slave is. Tom seems a little over the top on the mental scale of things. She had to hire body guard(s). I hope Tom had to pay for that. How many people need 3 body guards whilst getting a divorce? I would have too if I was divorcing Tom the nut!

[@tartfuel]

Sorry Mary, but Katie Holmes had no idea what she was getting into until she was all the way in. They surrounded her with handlers and staff who were all Scientologists and whose job it was to keep her involved. The first "courses" are literally self-help courses that Hubbard cribbed from other books, so when she took them it didn't seem like anything nefarious. She also never got to see any of the dark side because Tom never sees any of the dark side. The celebs are treated like royalty and whatever they want they get - as long as they are super famous. Miscavige is practically in love with Cruise and has gone through great lengths to make sure Tom is never unhappy or sees anyone unhappy with the church. ANd Tom wanted his wife to be treated the same way, so it wasn't until Tom insisted that Suri go to a boarding school in Oregon at age 6

most churches suggest 10% of your income (yearly) goes to the church. Some synagogues make you pay a yearly membership. Other organizations do that too. But the main difference is...most religious organizations don't charge you the price of a car if your translation of their holy scripture is slightly different/very different. They may verbally abuse you depending on who is in the organization lol

I simply looked at them and told them that I was dead-broke-poor, unemployed and living with friends. Boy! they sure left me alone real quick!!!

[@AnnaLVajda]

What do you " love" about it?

[@MickeyThomas408]

Stephanie Colangelo the reason why they are doing that is because Leah is the antithesis of how they recruit new members. If you are not like Leah Remini, brought in by family they try to bring you in by the most seductive way possible. I know from personal experience in a mall of all places. An attractive woman, in an unmarked kiosk stopped me asking if I would like to take a stress test. Going through a lot of stress at the time I accepted. After her fallacy of a test she said "oh boy you have so much stress in your life. Wouldn't it be liberating to have the answers to why you are feeling this way and take control?" Of course I answered... That's when she turned the heat up. Explaining L Ron Hubbard and his teachings (not mentioning the doctrine by name, scientology) whilst engaging in a ever convincing tone, deep eye contact, whilst holding and rubbing my arm I suddenly realized I was being sucked into a cult by this highly trained, possibly unwitting scam artist of a woman. I suddenly pulled back and told her. "Sure I have questions but don't need a cult for the answers" if I could show you the change in her eyes at that split second Stephanie it would explain everything about scientology without a single word.

[@TabithaStabitha]

MtbMickey408 Also at a mall, I'm so glad I told this very attractive man that I had absolutely no stress and that I was clearly a living miracle as everyone in life has stress but me, praise the Lord! LMAO he actually rolled his eyes. Priceless!! Can't be sucked into anything merely attractive, good on us brother!

You're the GLIMMER OF HOPE AND LIGHT THAT LEADS THEM THROUGH THE MAZE OF DARK SHADOWS UNTIL FINDING THAT WHICH WAS TAKEN: The Freedom to AGAIN SEE THE BEAUTY IN THIS GREAT BIG WORLD and REALIZING ALL THEIR DREAMS GRACEFULLY UNFOLDING INTO THE BEST TIMES OF LIFE...!

He is an amazing father, and I am glad he got out.

[@nowankersallowed2115]

What I do really like about Leah is that she keeps her calm and is supporting others who have left and been affected. When trying to look at it subjectively.. it can be hard because some may see me as a betrayer but this is not about me.. but looking at the issues that I can personally see that might be damaging. If I believe in what I do I try to be considerate within that. To help reduce the amount of damage done, because at the end of the day we are talking about real people.. with real hurts. To be allowed to talk about certain issues allows for the issues to be considered and weighed up from both sides. Family members do suffer too. That's what I would like to see reduced as much as possible.

Yeah and how Katie left was amazing, while she was in China her dad changed all her cellphones and numbers and got his daughter new very heavy security so Katie had Scientology security which was for her and against her. So she came home her parents got her and Suri a New York apartment and looked after her, and she had her heavy new security who scared off the scientology security. So yes she left for her daughter’s life, and made a deal with Tom. This is why Tom doesn’t see his child. His child to him is a suppressive person. I loved it when Katie left it was huge. Oh and Leah is amazing

My mom once visited a Scientology church in Italy (it’s located in Padova) and she told me that it was horrible what she saw. Everyone in that building are robots with no free will, you get chastised harshly for trying to escape and talking to a psychiatrist (as you know, the “church” is vehemently against psychiatry), their therapy treatments are dangerous like Thetans, Xenu, Narconon, etc., L. Ron Hubbard terrible person in general, Battlefield Earth, all forms of abuse, and the list goes on. In short, never go there and listen to Leah not getting afraid to put these people on blast

[@mic7able]

At first I thought Leah was milking this to make money, but then, given how much they will have ripped her off - she probably deserves to make up the balance. If she can recoup some the lost cash by exposing the people who swindled her, more power to her etc. I wish as much attention was given to the various churches which use 'Tithing' or pressure people to send money though....

[@patriciapalmer1377]

Thank God Katie 's Father is an excellent attorney. She didn't 'leave" Tom, that was a professional extraction of both she and her daughter, planned months in advance down to the last detail, as was the divorce and attendant paperwork.
