Leah Remini Blames Tom Cruise for Scientology Fall Out?

It looks like Leah Remini is indeed taking aim at Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise in her new Scientology tell-all. According to the latest gossip news updates, the King of Queens actress blames the world's best known Scientologist for her decision to leave the controversial religion forever. The Saved by the Bell beauty explains in her book, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, that even worse than being told what and how to think was having to treat the Risky Business lead like a living god.

At 45-years-old, King of Queens star Leah Remini has spent more than 30-years of her life as a devoted Scientologist, and now that she's left the religion for good she wants to tell the world why?

One source in the latest November 9, issue of OK! Magazine claims that Leah plans to spill the beans on every sordid secret she's privy to in her new tell-all, Troublemaker:

"Leah will expose all the horrific things she saw and endured.

"She'll also open up about Tom Cruise being groomed to take over, and how the church is telling John Travolta that if he tries to leave, they'll reveal the deeply personal stuff he's said in audits."

In a recent interview with 20/20 Leah all but confirms that the book is going to deal with Tom Cruise's relationship with the CoS -- insisting that he is the reason that she ultimately decided to leave the religion (via USA Today):

"Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself... you are evil.

"As time goes on, you start to lose touch with the real world...The mindset becomes 'Us against them.'"

While Leah has gone out of her way to explain that she is only putting out the book because she wants people to understand what she went through leaving the religion she was born into, Church of Scientology spokeswoman, Karin Pouw, insists Remini is just stirring up trouble to get her name back in the headlines:

"It comes as no surprise that someone as self-absorbed as Leah Remini with an insatiable craving for attention would exploit her former faith as a publicity stunt by rewriting her history with it, including omitting that she was participating in a program to remain a Scientologist by her own choice, as she was on the verge of being expelled for her ethical lapses."

What do you think about the Church of Scientology?

Is Leah Remini right in doing her best to expose the CoS?

Or, is the Church right in insisting that Remin is really just interested in making herself seem important by attacking something that she used to love?
