Leah Remini is speaking out following her decision to part ways from the Church of Scientology.
In a statement released to People Remini states, “I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and from fans around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support."
The former King of Queen actress’ decision to leave the controversial church was announced Thursday nothing Remini’s decision came after she questioned the motives of Scientology leader David Miscavige, who reportedly caused friction in her family after he deemed some of her family members to be “suppressive persons.”
A source revealed to Page Six that Remini was forced to undergo years of “thought modification” after “Leah questioned the validity of excommunication of people.”
Remini seemed to hint a potential change on Twitter following several posts citing positive change.
The church has not commented on Remini’s claims.
