NextImg:Leah Remini sues Church of Scientology for alleged stalking and harassment

Leah Remini, former Church of Scientology member and Emmy Award-winning producer and actress, is suing the religious institution and its leader David Miscavige for alleged stalking and harassment.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in California, alleges “a pattern of harassment, intimidation, surveillance and defamation” that Remini has endured since the 2006 nuptials of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, a longtime Scientologist, according to journalist Yashar Ali.

The Post has reached out to reps for Remini and the Church of Scientology for comment.

In court documents obtained by The Blast, Remini claims the church and Miscavige have “undertaken a campaign to ruin and destroy” her life.

The docs allege that the “King of Queens” star 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” for the last decade.

She also claims that the church has “harassed, threatened, intimidated and embarrassed” Remini’s family, friends and colleagues, resulting in a loss of relationships, contracts and opportunities.

Remini claims the church is barring her from “exercising her First Amendment right and moral duty to speak out about Scientology’s conduct.”

The lawsuit, then, seeks to “recover compensatory and punitive damages for the enormous economic and psychological harm” she has endured at the hands of the church.
