Leah Remini has lived quite the life.
However, multiple events led Remini to leave, and her entire life has transformed because of it.
From childhood to adulthood, Remini’s life has been particularly interesting.
Here’s a closer look at the stunning transformation of Leah Remini.
Remini was baptized Catholic but did not attend church regularly, just when visiting her grandmother and on holidays.
Her parents split when Remini was young, and her mother soon began dating someone new.
The comedian has multiple siblings, including a sister named Nicole.
Even as a child, Remini was intrigued by acting.
Remini’s ultimate dream as a child, however, was to star as Annie on Broadway.
As Remini shared in an interview withPeople, Scientology was positive in her life when she first joined.
As a kid, it’s very empowering."
Remini was not yet 10 when she joined the church.
Remini immersed herself in the world of Scientology, learning its teachings and the church’s ultimate goals.
When Remini was 13, her mother moved Remini and her family to Los Angeles, California.
“My mother wanted us to have a new life,” Remini said in an interview withParade.
While in Los Angeles, despite having left Sea Organization, Remini and her family continued practicing Scientology.
Remini was not, however, in school.
“Scientology does not value a traditional education.
They value your education of Scientology,” Remini said on"The Joe Rogan Experience.
“Remini dropped out of school in the eighth grade and took Scientology courses.
Remini later went on to earn her GED.
Remini found a home in sitcoms.
After “Head of the Class,” Remini was cast in “Who’s the Boss?”
and then she got a starring role on the sitcom “Living Dolls” alongside Halle Berry.
“I really thought that was it.
I thought I was done.
I thought I’d made it.
As she spent more time with Cruise, Remini began questioning some of the church’s policies and teachings.
“You are a person who is anti the aims and goals of Scientology.
You are evil.”
Remini said it was love at first sight, and the two began dating.
Just a few years later, Remini attended Tom Cruise andKatie Holmes’wedding in Italy.
Finally, in 2013, Remini and her family left the Church of Scientology.
Remini was eliminated just before the four finalists.
“Dancing with the Stars” was by no means the end of Remini’s career.
On the show, Remini opened up further about her decision to leave Scientology.
“To have Leah Remini back on is fantastic.
She added, “I’m not going to be intimidated.
The church will get exposed, and I’m not gonna stop.”
“Scientology and the Aftermath” was a huge hit.
While hosting her podcast “Scientology: Fair Game,” Remini returned to hosting television.
So when something like this comes along, I feel like it’s a blessing.
Amid her continued success, Remini has not stopped her mission to take down the Church of Scientology.
In 2023, Remini took legal action against the church.
The church denied any wrongdoing and suggested Remini move to Russia, claiming she does not like free speech.
