Leah Remini deserves so much praise and recognition for her bravery and determination in trying to oust this CULT they call 'Scientology.' I applaud her efforts as do many others and I am just a reg person who has never and would never join anything that would keep me from my friends and family like these people do. How they live with themselves is beyond me and the fact that this CULT gets tax breaks as if they are some kind of Church is an abomination to everyone on this planet and we should all be doing more just like Leah. This show shines some light on the TRUTH about what is really going on behind closed doors and the more we know the more we as human beings can do to help these people whom feel stuck and abandoned. Good on you Leah for not being scared of these monsters and their threats. One day this CULT will no longer be around and we have people like Leah to thank!

+10 *****√√ Most of all, Leah's strength and compassion towards all the victims was so warm & appropriate. It must be so hard for them to share these deep humiliating positions that they found themselves in, yet with Leah's strength and dignity, they felt stronger again and could rise above it. Thank you Leah for being able to (wow, trying to list all of her/your accomplishments.) Thank you for sharing, caring and having strength; the guts to keep going; true perseverance. Love you! deb 😘🌴

Bravo to Leah & Mike to showing true victims of what cults like this so called Church do. Yes, we all are human and make mistakes in our lives. However, to be "controlled" by others especially when you are at your most vulnerable is truly sickening. Also the fact that this "church" gets a tax break from the IRS when the billions they have can truly help those that are seeking real help. Disgusting! Keep doing what you are doing Leah, Mike and A&E!
