Leah Remini on the Dangers of Her Scientology Doc: "There Are Repercussions to Speaking Out"

Ever since leaving Scientology, Leah Remini has been one of the few former members brave enough to speak out about the dangers of the religious system, which has become extremely popular with the Hollywood set over the last few decades. Scientology took a major hit when HBO's Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief documentary (Alex Gibney's two-hour exposé) premiered last year, and now Leah is doubling down on the interest surrounding the pseudo-religion with a new docuseries on A&E. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, the talk-show host told Leah she found the series "bold, brave, and disturbing," which Leah expected. "That's what made me want to do it," she said. "There are repercussions to speaking out, and that's why I said, 'OK, I can't sit back.'" From standing up against the church's bullying to being harassed and followed since leaving, watch her enlightening interview above.
