Leah Remini is in serious talks to join the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the outspoken ex-Scientologist is sure to take on Erika Jayne amid the growing embezzlement scandal.
Over the weekend, the popular celeb gossip Instagram Deuxmoi posted a bombshell tip from a well-connected television source.
The tipster wrote, "New Queen on Beverly Hills. Word on Rodeo Drive is that this actress, known for her role on a late 90's early 00's sitcom as well as putting Scientology on blast, is in talks to join the ladies of BH."
Leah was the star of King of Queens with Kevin James and is known for leaving the Church of Scientology.
Sources say production on season 12 was pushed up by months as the network doesn't want to miss out on the Erika drama that is unfolding in real-time. An insider claims the show has already started shooting material with some of the women.
We're told the entire cast will be returning including Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Kung Minkoff, and Kathy Hilton.
