Actress and outspoken Scientology critic Leah Remini claims that the church is targeting her business friends in an effort to silence her.
In a new interview with NBC News, Remini said that the church has been pressuring her friends to stop doing business with her. She also said that the church has been spreading false rumors about her in an attempt to damage her reputation.
“The church is trying to destroy my life,” Remini said. “They’re trying to silence me.”
Remini left Scientology in 2013 after 33 years in the church. She has since become a vocal critic of the organization, accusing it of being a cult and of abusing its members.
The Church of Scientology has denied Remini’s claims, calling them “false and defamatory.
Remini’s claims are not the first of their kind. Other former Scientologists have also accused the church of targeting them and their families after they left the church.
The church has been accused of using a variety of tactics to silence its critics, including harassment, intimidation, and legal threats.
Remini’s claims come at a time when the Church of Scientology is facing increasing scrutiny. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile exposes of the church’s practices.
The church has also been accused of being involved in a number of criminal activities, including money laundering and extortion.
Remini’s claims are likely to further damage the Church of Scientology’s reputation and could lead to increased legal scrutiny of the organization.
Leah Remini is steadfast in her campaign to not only expose Scientology as evil but also to trace its connections to the LAPD.
In a post this morning she reveals that members of the cult at the Los Angeles headquarters can’t call 911.
Remini says she went to LAPD chief Michael Moore and said, “Don’t you think that’s odd?”
According to Remini, he did not.
I have an important update regarding LAPD, Shelly Miscavige, and Scientology.
In late June, thanks to many of you putting on pressure, I met with LAPD Chief Michel Moore.
To say that the meeting was a disaster is an understatement.

Analysis:
Remini’s claims are serious and should be taken seriously. The Church of Scientology has a long history of targeting its critics and using a variety of tactics to silence them.
If Remini’s claims are true, they would suggest that the church is becoming increasingly desperate to silence its critics. This could be a sign that the church is facing internal problems or that it is feeling threatened by the growing scrutiny it is facing.
It is important to note that the Church of Scientology has denied Remini’s claims. However, the church has a history of denying allegations of wrongdoing, even when those allegations have been supported by evidence.
Ultimately, it is up to the courts to decide whether or not Remini’s claims are true. However, her claims should not be dismissed out of hand.
