Actress Leah Remini is planning on writing a tell-all book about her experiences with the Church of Scientology. According to the Daily Mail, the "King of Queens" actress' memoir "will include my experiences, everything that's taboo to talk about."
This is probably really bad news to the Church and its members but the outspoken star told People magazine that she is not about to shut up.
"I believe that people should be able to question things," she told the magazine. "I believe that people should value family, and value friendships, and hold those things sacrosanct. That for me, that's what I'm about. It wouldn't matter what it was, simply because no one is going to tell me how I need to think, no one is going to tell me who I can, and cannot, talk to."
Remini confirmed her split from the controversial religion earlier in the month. Former Village Voice editor Tony Ortega, who writes about Scientology on his blog The Underground Bunker, was the first to break the news. Ortega reported that the 43-year-old actress had left the Church after years of interrogations and questioning about her behavior.
Apparently the actress was asking too many questions while attending the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. According to Ortega, the actress was asking people where Scientology leader David Miscavige's wife was. She found it odd that she didn't attend the high profile wedding and she was worried because his wife hadn't been seen in public in years.
At the 15th annual DesignCare event in Malibu, Remini told US Weekly about her decision to leave the religion and her family jumping to her support. Her sister, Nicole Remini has been extremely outspoken coming to the actress' defense.
"We stand united, my family and I, and I think that says a lot about who we are, and what we're about."
According to the Daily Mail, Remini joined the Church of Scientology in the 1970s with her mother when she moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Her sister left the Church a few years ago.
