In an interview with ABC’s 20/20 on Sunday she revealed how Cruise and Holmes wielded their power within the secretive organisation.

A Scientology spokesperson, unsurprisingly, dismissed all Remini’s 20/20 claims as “ridiculous and stupid”.
To her relief, her family supported her decision, and left the church, too.
And she cites a few of the most traumatic times in the church surprisingly, in relation to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
“I regret having upset Leah in the past, and wish her only the best in the future”, the statement said.
Suri Cruise was left in that bathroom for an unknown amount of time and the King Of Queens actress said that she actually had to “convince” the other women to pick up the child and give her a bottle.
It seems Leah Remini is the only celebrity willing to speak out about the inner workings of Scientology, but as Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology attracts attention, it may not be long before others add their voices to Leah Remini’s cry.
The New York Daily News reports that one story discusses an incident involving Tom and then-wife Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri Cruise, who was just seven-months-old at the time.

HBO’s Going Clear documentary put a glaring spotlight on the so-called “church” of Scientology this year, and that light isn’t dimming anytime soon.

Leah claimed that they were trying to convert Lopez into a Scientologist.
Brooklynite Remini shared a post-wedding ride to the airport with kids Bella and Connor, asking if they’d seen their mother recently. “Our mom is a f***ing SP”, which is Scientology slang for a “suppressed person”, or someone who undermines Scientology and with whom followers of the religion are not to associate. According to Leah, the church may have had a lot to do with that.

The Church does not single out anyone for its services, while its doors are open to all to make the able more able. The comedian was then asked to bring her friend Jennifer Lopez along with her on the nuptial day of Tom and Katie.
