After Leah Remini’s public interviews and explosive claims in her new book, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology about her life and former religion, many expected to hear from the church’s most famous member, Tom Cruise. Now, a source has said that the actor is reportedly livid and feels betrayed by Remini.
A source told Us Weekly that the Mission: Impossible star is “freaking out” over Remini’s onslaught against the religion.
“He thinks it’s a major betrayal,” the insider said. “Leah is what the church calls a ‘suppressive person,’ so she’s evil in his mind. He wipes the memory of any SP out of his life. He’s letting the Scientology people discredit her.”
Cruise's ex-wife Katie Holmes seems to have collaborated some of the allegations made in Remini’s 20/20 interview when she apologized to her.
“I regret having upset Leah in the past, and wish her only the best in the future,” Holmes said in a statement prior to the airing of the interview.
The Chruch of Scientology has repeatedly denied the claims and had this to say about the former King of Queens actress in its most recent statement: "[She] now regurgitates the tired myths the Church has repeatedly debunked, circulated by the same tiny clique of expelled former staffers bitter at having lost the positions they enjoyed before their malfeasance and unethical conduct were uncovered. Ms. Remini is now joined at the hip with this collection of deadbeats, admitted liars, self-admitted perjurers, wife beaters and worse."
