Or at least watch Leahs series on what so many ex Scientologists have gone thru.
Or read any articles by the St.Pete Times (now the Tampa Bay Times) on the groups original (and current secondary home of Clearwater to Los Angeles) headquarters.
If she did so, she would know that she did not sufficiently examine them before giving them that glowing public ribbon cutting tribute in 2010.
They were horrible people then just as they are today.
Where is their leaders disappearing wife?

Ok statement. But insufficient. She needs to meet Leah Remini Funtatlaguy Aug 2020 #2

I'm not esp a supporter of her over the others, but she has denounced them, her comments came before hlthe2b Aug 2020 #6

She has NOT denounced them, she's merely said she's not one. brooklynite Aug 2020 #13

Not true. She acknowledged she had been ignorant of their "behaviors"/reputation (to paraphrase). hlthe2b Aug 2020 #14

Yes she said she's a Baptist Captain Zero Aug 2020 #3

Yes she has, and so what? All things considered, Scientology is no wackier or disgusting stopbush Aug 2020 #4

Wrong. Please read up on it. They treat people like slaves. Funtatlaguy Aug 2020 #5
