The National Enquirer is pretty skilled at getting disgruntled family members to speak out about their famous relatives. (They’re also good at tracking down random down-on-their-luck relatives of celebrities, but that’s another story.) As you’ve heard, Leah Remini has left the Scientology cult, along with her entire extended family. Remini is a second generation Scientologist and given how famous she is this is a huge scandal within the cult. Remaining high-level cult members, like Kirstie Alley, are scrambling to “shun” Leah and disconnect from her and anyone who dares associate with her. This is their go-to response to cult defection, and it seems obsolete in the age of the Internet. They actually demand that their members “defriend” ex-Scientologists on Facebook. That’ll show them!
Anyway, Kirstie Alley is leading the motley crew of active Scientologists who are working to make sure Leah is shut out and properly shunned or whatever they do. It’s probably much more nefarious than I can imagine, considering that some people get put in work camps for minor transgressions. Since Leah is rich and famous, she’s somewhat insulated from the worst parts of Scientology, but she knows how they operate and so does her entire family. Lea’s ex stepmother told The Enquirer that Kirstie Alley is a nasty horrible person, basically, and she didn’t mince words.
Leah’s entire family has left the church, including her mother and sister Nicole Remini, but now her former stepmother says that she is being bullied by the Cheers star.
“Kirstie Alley is just a big fat bully!” Donna Remini-Fiore told the National Enquirer.
Despite the cryptic text messages that Kirstie says were not aimed at Leah, her stepmom says she shouldn’t be turning her back on her longtime friend.
“She’s an idiot to think she could control Leah. Leah has always been her own person, and Kirstie should have known better.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Leah’s sister Nicole said that Kirstie hasn’t spoken to her sister at all since she left Scientology.
Her former step mom defended Leah, saying: “Besides that, Leah is a wonderful person and loyal friend who’s supported everything Kirstie does without hesitation.
For more exclusive details about how Leah’s family is rallying around her following her departure from Scientology pick up the latest issue of the National Enquirer on newsstands Thursday.
I don’t like Kirstie Alley either, but there’s no need to call her “fat” or anything. Just point out that what she’s doing is despicable, you don’t have to personally attack her. I guess that falls under “Fair Game” though. Kirstie is just a product of her cult. She’s a good cult member and is going after Leah like she’s been taught to do. If she doesn’t, and she isn’t perceived as a leader, the axe will fall on her one day. In her heart of hearts she knows that, and that realization is probably fueling most of her venom toward Leah. Leah got out, she’s in it for life unless there’s some big upheaval in the cult.
It would be nice to hear Leah personally address all these stories but you know she’s not going to do that. She’s already stuck her neck out far enough.
