Leah Remini is again opening up about leaving the church of Scientology back in 2013, saying she faced serious consequences for it.
In a clip from her TLC show Leah Remini: It’s All Relative, she explains at length that her daughter, Sofia, is the real reason she left.
"I decided I didn't want to raise my daughter in the church because from what I've experience and what I saw, the church becomes your everything. It becomes your mother, your father, your everything. You are dependent on the church," she explained in a clip obtained by People.
She went on to say there’s some "pretty hard repercussions" for leaving the church, and didn’t want to be forced to sever ties with her daughter if she left down the road but her daughter remained in it.
In response, the church called her statements a “pathetic attempt to get ratings for her cable show and seem relevant again."
Earlier this year, Remini commended the filmmakers of Going Clear, the documentary that aims to blow the lid off the practice of Scientology.
