The Rise of a Troublemaker

Leah Remini was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1970. Her parents were both devout Scientologists, and Remini was raised in the church from a young age. She quickly showed a talent for acting, and at the age of nine, she was cast in a Scientology-produced film called Kids for a Drug-Free America.

Remini's success in the film led to a contract with the Scientology-owned television network, the Independent Television Network (ITN). She starred in several ITN shows, including the sitcom Growing Up Scientologist. Remini's career was on the rise, and she was quickly becoming one of the most famous Scientologists in the world.

However, behind the scenes, Remini was struggling. She was disillusioned with Scientology's teachings and practices, and she began to question the church's authority. In 2006, Remini finally decided to leave Scientology. She was immediately declared a "suppressive person" by the church, and she was cut off from all contact with her family and friends.

Life After Scientology

After leaving Scientology, Remini struggled to rebuild her life. She was unemployed and had lost contact with her family and friends. However, she refused to give up. She began speaking out about her experiences in Scientology, and she quickly became a leading critic of the church.

In 2015, Remini co-founded the Aftermath Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps people who have left Scientology. The foundation provides counseling, support, and legal assistance to former Scientologists.

Remini's work with the Aftermath Foundation has helped thousands of people leave Scientology and rebuild their lives. She is a true troublemaker, and her work is making a real difference in the world.
