Leah Remini has been active in the entertainment industry for a very long time and has done several fine works which she should be remembered for. While this is the case for a good number of her fans, many have simply chosen to identify Leah with the ever-unfolding drama between her and the Church of Scientology. The actress who was initially a Catholic followed her mom to join Scientology when she was still a lad at the age of nine. Growing up in the church, she became a serious member and vehemently defended it from criticisms.
Owing to that, it was a surprise when it emerged sometime in mid-2013 that Leah has left the church. She left because of some shady misgivings about the way the church is being run. And has ever since, remained an activist seriously agitating against the activities and practices of the church.
