Despite the effect it might have on her career in Hollywood, King of Queens star Leah Remini is taking aim not only at her former religion but its celebrity figureheads as well. According to the latest gossip news updates the Dancing with the Stars contestant's new book about the Church of Scientology is going to expose the dirt the CoS reportedly has on John Travolta's gay trysts as well as Tom Cruise autocratic behavior. While Scientology has called Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology a desperate plea for attention, the fact that Tom Cruise's ex-wife, Katie Holmes, recently publicly apologized for the way she acted during her time as a member of the religion seems to add credibility to the salacious tell-all.
When Leah Remini's new insider's guide to the depravity of Scientology comes out November 3, the book is said to take aim not only at the religion's hierarchy but its celebrity sinners as well.
One source in the latest November 9, issue of Star claims that Remini's Troublemaker is going to pick up right where Going Clear left off:
"Leah will expose the ugliest corners of Scientology -- things no one has spoken of yet.
"She has seen so much and been so viciously treated that she can't stay quiet. This will permanently estrange her from a loft of people, but she doesn't care."
According to the insider, Leah is going to call out John Travolta and Tom Cruise in her attempt to deal a hammer blow to the CoS:
"The church is aware of John's relationships with men. He actually wants to leave, but he's seen how the church destroys people's lives.
"Leah still secretly talks to Scientologists, she's heard about the internal battle that's building between David Miscavige and Tom Cruise, who's being groomed to take over."
Despite the fantastical nature of those two supposed revelations, Church of Scientology spokeswoman, Karin Pouw, chose to directly attack Remini's personal integrity in her official church response (via USA Today):
"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."
Longtime church member turned Scientology whistled blower, Tony Ortega, explain in the latest edition of Life & Style that it's always been a policy to try to publicly tar and feather anyone who ever turns their back on the CoS:
"They've already settled on a strategy for Leah and it's to call her an attention seeker obsessed with fame.
"Scientology never responds to the actual allegations, they only attack the attacker, as L. Ron Hubbard taught them to do."
What do you think about the Church of Scientology?
Are you happy that someone like Leah Remini is finally exposing everyone from top to bottom?
Or, is Karin Pouw right in asserting that Leah is probably just making all this stuff up for the publicity?
