Leah Remini Sues Church of Scientology and David Miscavige for Alleged Stalking and Harassment 10 Years After Quitting Religion

Leah Remini is suing the Church of Scientology and the religious group's leader David Miscavige for alleged stalking, harassment, and defamation, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

According to legal documents obtained by this outlet, Remini, 53, claims the church and Miscavige "have undertaken a campaign to ruin and destroy" her life and livelihood "after she was deemed a Suppressive Person and declared Fair Game by Scientology in 2013, when she publicly departed Scientology, a Suppressive Act as laid out by Scientology directives."

Remini says for the past 10 years she "has been stalked, surveilled, harassed, threatened, intimidated, and, moreover, has been the victim of intentional malicious and fraudulent rumors via hundreds of Scientology-controlled and coordinated social media accounts that exist solely to intimidate and spread misinformation. Scientology has elevated the reach of some of these posts by using its tax-exempt funds to pay social media companies like Twitter to 'promote' these posts.

"By paying to promote these posts and elevate them on Twitter, Defendants demonstrate that these posts are not the work of a rogue Scientologist, but part of a coordinated campaign to follow long held policy and destroy Ms. Remini."

The King of Queens actress — who was a Scientologist for nearly 40 years — claims Scientology has also targeted those close to her.

"Defendants have also incessantly harassed, threatened, intimidated, and embarrassed Ms. Remini’s family members, friends, colleagues, and business associates, causing her to lose personal relationships, business contracts, and other business opportunities," the lawsuit reads.

Remini accuses the church of inflicting "significant and ongoing economic harm," claiming it's "forced her to endure a new but never-normal life in which Scientology’s surveillance, abuse, and lies are the punishing, inescapable, daily cost of exercising her First Amendment right and moral duty to speak out about Scientology’s conduct."

She even compares the group's alleged tactics to the mob.

The actress seeks compensatory and punitive damages "for the enormous economic and psychological harm that Defendants have inflicted upon her, to remediate the harm that has been caused, and to punish and deter Defendants from continuing their unlawful campaign of harassment and intimidation."

She also wants to stop anyone else from being allegedly harassed by the church.
