Leah Remini Quit Scientology Because Of Tom Cruise

“The decision to leave is… you’re giving up everything you’ve worked for your whole life,” she says in a preview clip of the interview, set to air on Friday, Oct. 30. “I think people need to understand that this was my whole life, and I want them to understand that this is how it happened.”

“As time goes on, you begin to lose touch with the real world,” she says. “The mindset begins to be ‘Us against them.’”

“Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself,” she claims, adding that anyone who dares to disparage either was deemed “evil.”
