The Church of Scientology is clapping back at former member Leah Remini, dragging her for a lawsuit against them — something the Church claims is total BS.
In an intense statement issued to TMZ from the church Thursday, they call the actress an “anti-free speech bigot.” The church says Leah’s “a horrible person and toxic to so many who have the misfortune to come in contact with her.”
The church even compares her to “an anti-Semite complaining about the Jewish Anti-Defamation League for exposing the anti-Semite’s bigotry and propaganda.”

It claims Leah’s been making a fortune on her “obsession” to take Scientology down since publicly leaving the religion in 2013 … pointing towards her recent lawsuit by adding, “If Remini can no longer get a job, she has nobody to blame but herself.”
The church says it’s “not intimidated by Remini’s latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech. If Remini does not believe in free speech, then she should consider emigrating to Russia.”
As we reported, Leah’s claiming she’s been stalked and harassed by the church ever since she got outta there a decade ago… and she’s also going after its leader, David Miscavige. Leah says Scientology’s alleged attacks against her are getting worse in order to destroy her career.
