Greene alleged he didn't know the reason for their job task and responded, "basically the client just wants to know her movements and locations. I don’t have any more details as to why and who.”

“Could be matrimonial," he told Roth, who informed him he had just googled Remini. "Or Scientologists,” Greene added.

“Yeah—word is they want to kill her. Or at least know what she’s doing when in NYC," Greene texted Roth. There is no evidence to prove this claim.

According to reports, Remini was aware she was being followed during that time in NYC. She later claimed to recognize Greene as one of the men tailing her.

“I guess I was naive to think that East Coast people would be different. I never thought New York police officers, even retired, would be for hire by Scientology. I guess my naivete is showing," Remini said when confronted with their disturbing text messages.

Greene has denied working with Scientology. As for Ribacoff, he claims his company IIG isn't associated with Scientology.

“IIG should rename the company dumb, dumber, and dumbest. These are the worst PIs in the world. These guys were actually trying not to be seen, and I saw them,” Remini stated regarding the 2017 incident.
