Leah Remini is an actress, producer, author, and comedian. Her new show "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath" is a documentary series that can be seen on A&E.
Thanks! :) As simpel as it's true, when it comes to most of things, specially religion...But then again, if you actually could reason with religious people there wouldn't be any religion to speak about, "only" humanity perhaps...
It amazes me how Leah was member of that cult from age 9 till age 43, literally her entire life and yet she managed to get out of that circus and with a sane mind
I don't see one comment which says: '' How sick is it that John Travolta is allowed to kill someone and get away with it by protection from the ''church''. Everyone just bla bla bla Leah is so good and Leah is this and is that bla bla bla. Are you all in Scientology too and not allowed to speak about it ?
I watched her TV series on scientology. Scientology picked the wrong person to pick a fight with. She's going all out to show the world how horrible scientology is, and it's working.
Katie Holmes has become a very outspoken provocateur of it as well. My roommate was telling me about hearing her story on a tv show she was watching (it could be the tv show you are referring to) and she said it was terrifying.
As a 21 year old, not knowing much about life, searching for a purpose and a meaning and just wanting to belong somewhere. I remember signing up for this scientology movie night where you're being introduced to the concept of scientology. I was, along with 3 other people, the only one in the whole place. I'm embarrassed to say I was impressed right away. I signed up for a class a few days later and the horror started. I remember we had to sit in a room, not talk to anyone, we weren't even allowed to go to the restroom and ask a question. We received a booklet full of very personal questions and were instructed to answer them all by writing it all down. We had to sit for hours to finish the fase. Afterwards we went to the second fase where we had to work in a team (I don't remember much of that). Then, a few weeks passed, and we were moved to another class where we had to sit next to a classmate but where absolutely not allowed to speak to each other. There was a box on each table full with random stuff like a cube, a feather, a button and so on. We had weird instructions and activities we had to do. It was all so weird but interesting at the same time. Suddenly I was told I will be matched to a buddy. Someone who is higher up and he will help me with all things scientology. This guy, he basically stalked me. I remember the day I got hit by reality and realized this is wrong. I was sitting in a cafe with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. It was the same day that marked the anniversary of scientology or something big... And there was this convention I got invited to and I really didn't feel like going. I wanted to be with my friend. So the buddy texts me like where are you? Are you coming? Hoe long will it be till you get here?? Frantically texting me. I replied saying I won't make it. So he calls me, I feel obligated to answer so I do, to which he proceeds to lash out at me and tell me it's not oke for me to miss this and that I should lie to my friend and tell her there's some kind of emergency and leave etc. He was very upset. I understood and I decided there and then, this is actually not for me. The next morning I called in and said I'm not coming anymore, that I'm quitting this scientology thing. They of course tried to convince me to stay, even saying it's just one big misunderstanding and this buddy called me to apologize. But I was not going back. The next couple of weeks that followed me leaving where freaking weird. There would be big black cars following me randomly and standing by my house and I even received hand written letters asking me how I'm doing and that they're worried about me and I should rethink it and to just write back and tell them I'm fine. It was sooooo weird. I ignored it and after a while, luckily, they stopped. But this bullshit lasted for at least a couple of weeks. Never join a cult. It's draining.
I don't think you should feel sorry, they target people who are experiencing the same things you were on purpose. they're abusive scammers at best and monsters at worst
Hey Bud, you are not alone in this world. I struggled with education growing up. In my late 20s a switch in my head went off. Now, I am a sponge of all things human. Don't ever believe in a system. Believe in yourself, wanting to be a good person.
I was the same way! I was going to go to a “class” but I was broke & couldn’t afford it. I was called every week for months to come to class. Finally, I told the guy I couldn’t afford it. Never heard from them again. You dodged a bullet! No you are not alone!
👉I’ve been waiting to hear a story like yours [outside the publicized stories from I’ve viewed in Films ect]. Intriguing story! Sounds like they went Full Court Press with you immediately… ♦️Glad you were able to get out before they separated you from all your 💴 & free thinking …. ‼️ Thanks for sharing that story👏👏👏👏☯️
Steven Berkeboom i know this to be 100% true ... though i doubt its as bad as scientology where the doctrine its self is evil, not just the top practitioner's.... though all religion is bs so... i guess you you pays your money, you take your choice ... though i doubt that scientology would even entertain you unless you had lots of money to pay .Actually i thought that LRH pulled the idea out his ass. but sciontology has a LOT in common with mormonism so he wasn't even original in his own bull shit and stoll most of it from joseph smith . The movie "the god makers" is mormonisms equivalent of "going clear" if your intrested . there was allso a a fallow up to it made in the 90s were a women who was an a "apostate" says to the director on film that if anything happend to her it would be the church that was responsible, she was found dead iin her home before the film was realised and there was other murders involved too. That shit is real fucked up
bobert1223 I've seen plenty of Italians act this way, even in Italy. They're open and social people. If they like you and your company, they show it. If they hate you and your company, they REALLY show it. It's just a simple observation I've made. Wait, why aren't you going after the person who just said that she acts this way because she's Italian? I just said I came to this conclusion through observations and research done over half of my life. Why don't you present evidence backing up your claims instead of getting all emotional and standing up for a group of people who didn't elect you to represent them? Present evidence, not emotions. I'm waiting.
bobert1223 One more thing: You're the one judging others. How can you tell me something about me when you don't know shit about me? God damn, what dud your parents do to you to make you so angry and miserable? I bet you liked your own comment to make people think you have a good opinion, too.
Leah Remini you genuinely are helping so many. I came across this only because i was actually interested in the organization and trying it out. I would never have known this without you. Its so dangerous not knowing the full understanding you signing yourself up for. I truly appreciate your bravely and for all you are trying to do. IT IS HELPING ❤❤❤ much love
*Do you realize how many death threats she's received? How often she was blacklisted even in acting because of this? To have been born into scientology but realize it was so toxic, that she CHOSE to leave herself no matter what. Most are terrified and say nothing. I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. Badass woman.* (Edited only for 2 spelling mistakes)
Leah Remini, or Carrie as I like to call her, is famous for her role in the show King of Queens. Definitely my personal top 3 next to the office and Malcolm in the middle for comedy TV shows
Great interview and you guys get along well. I'm so glad you had her so she could expose these cultists for what they truly are. 16 mil people have seen this and now know the truth. Thank you Joe and God bless you Leah.
I get a sad feeling that its jargon she grew up with in the cult. Also, she is very specific with arbitrary things that dont really matter, some fragments from her old life baked into her social brain
It’s like living in a narcissistic psychosis for 40 years. Such delusional thinking is hard to reconcile along with finding self after being brainwashed for 40 years. So grateful to all who bust out the bullshit. Bravery beyond the veil - thank you ❤
One of the best interviews I've seen. Not even interested in scientology or anything about it, but hearing her talk about her recovery from it and what she's doing to help other people is awesome. And the adorable accent and mannerisms don't hurt.
I watched this whole damn thing. I'm so mesmerized by how honest that she is about this whole thing. She is truly using her second chance at life for good. I respect Leah so much!
I went from only going to wash these dishes real quick while I play this podcast to deep cleaning my fridge and mopping the floor before I knew it. I loved this story time.
I just love the "back and forth" relationship Joe and Leah have on the podcast, keeps us interested, gives a humor break (definitely to help with the trauma recall), then back to the info.
hahaha nice. You can hear it in Joes voice, hes thinking, " oh shit, after coming home late after interviewing Rhonda Patrick my wife is going to be listening to this"
I was a production assistant on a sitcom that Leah was on. I never knew she was going through this. I loved working with her. She was so funny, and warm. I loved hanging with her backstage after the show. I tried throwing a party inviting the cast and crew of the sitcom. The producers didn't show, but Leah came to my house. I burnt everything, and the group carried the party at the third street promenade. Leah, I'll cherish the times we had together, and wish you all the best. I'm so glad you are doing well. Love, Evan.
@@gaurimann7156 VERY cool indeed... Just DON'T get on her bad side. 😬 Lol...She definitely has GOT to be a lotta work/patience being married to, but yeah I'll always love her. Her husband is a very blessed, lucky guy IMPO.
@TravisPerrine HaHa! I'm appreciative of your blunt comment. Are you talking about Evan or Lea? :) I don't know this situation from ADAM, so I don't want you to think this, a trick question. I'm being genuine, here.
She broke free from a Cult and is now devoting her life to Freeing others in that Cult. She is a Freedom fighter for others now, what a Good women. 100% Respect!!!
And these bullies are taking advantage of state’s decision that I can’t manage my own income.. so I’m really hungry and very sick and haven’t had any meds for fever in weeks and they are laughing about
I’m trying to get my ssdi out of JW.orgs Bible salesman hands because the pandemic is hard enough without them getting my relief money as well and Facebook just shut me down 😱
She was denied an education and had to educate herself. She’s done a wonderful job of standing up against the concept of Scientology and showing people how screwed up it is. God bless her an keep her safe.
Leah....I just love you so much. You are such a giving and a REAL NEED to help others. Ever since you've come out about this horrible, EVIL CULT....and you are HELPING THEM IN REAL LIFE! You're so INSPIRING. I am a 65 yrs old white woman who has been born & raised in East Texas. I was brought up going to Sunday School every Sunday....where I was taught by Christian, older, sweet, sweet ladies about all the fantastic stories told about the days that JESUS CHRIST walked the land.....and taught all the "average, normal, people" who walked with HIM....and Realized in their HEARTS....that HE ACTUALLY WAS THR SON OF GOD. How GOD had put HIM ON THE EARTH WITH ALL OF THE AVERAGE, NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE VERY BEST HEARTS IN THIS WHOLE WORLD----the people that are GOOD and DECENT AND HOLD REAL LOVE -- in their souls .....and literally feel the TRUE NEED to EDUCATE every person they meet.....who all wave the flag of this 2 tiered justice system e that is run by the WEALTHIEST ELITES who get to make up every rule & EVERYTHING THAT IS SO OBVIOUSLY wrong and SO ILLEGAL---- because it's all centered around WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY----it is THOSE people who have---NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE! To me----IT IS ONLY THE VERY FEW0/?
Yeah. It just sounds like a scam to get millions of dollars from celebrities. That's why when you want to get the money back, they refuse and label you an enemy. And they are more lenient with the bigger celebrities that give them more money.
Interesting how many similarities there are huh? There are tactics used by men seeking control and power that are found everywhere during all time. The church and Scientology mirror those same tactics. Don't speak to apostates. Don't study material not approved by us. Follow your leaders. You're better than others("saved") You are chosen over those not in your faith. Memorize and study our doctrine Don't question You're in the right "boat" Etc.
❤❤❤ Joe I am going through alot right now, I am in recovery from addictions (alcohol and turned into meth eventually) I need you to know that when ever I am struggling.... I know I can turn to your podcasts for hope, laughter, and just a sense of belonging ❤❤❤
Yes she does. She is throwing her married self on Joe. Too much make-up, nails a bit crazy and being in a community or Cult if it is & seems so.....but she seems mentally affected to me; yet, very smart. I am proud but these women on interviews I think just my opinion would be taken more seriously if the dressed better and waited off screen to do so much flirting. Joe reflected in in previous or maybe this one so well. He is a number one human being.
mean if these persons dressed normal, overdoing nails and make-up makes just saying she appears bi-polar. She has wasted so much money I do feel for her, etc. I am sure Joe is married. The egoS of these movie stars.
@@cq2803 lmao you're right though. Females especially celebrity females dress nice and wear makeup. Leah is brave to speak her appearance doesn't take away her credibility. Old hag. Lol
Leah, it’s amazing that you were able to see thru all this garbage and leave. I couldn’t understand how ADULTS (I’m thinking educated adults that finished high school), could ever believe this stupidity. NOW I understand. They keep you stupid & afraid so you don’t question anything. The fact that anyone believed they could leave is amazing. You, Mike, and others that have left, are such strong, courageous people. God bless you all on your continued crusade. ❤🙏🏻
I find it amazing that the scios didn't complain about the RiffTraxx treatment of Battlefield Earth. "Some movies have it coming!" And Scientology *definitely* did have it coming!😁😁😁😁😝😝😝🙄🙄🙄
"I don't get how people looked at the Nazis and thought... yeah this is legit" not saying the two are on the same level, but it's a crazy weird slippery slope when being indoctrinated into crazy shit like this
I find Leah's stories about her life in Scientology fascinating and sad all at once. I hadn't seen her in this sort of format before so while I knew she would be a spitfire, I did not expect so much flirting! Goodness me! 😍🥰
@@TSWARD-xb9rk Necrophilia is everything wrong with this country? Calm down, hes just a weirdo, I mean look at his name and tell me hes not a deliberate joke.
@@miamislice3280 😂😂😂 the broken mental healthcare system was more what i was referring to. Guess , I should have clarified. I think the statement falls under broken mental healthcare system. Among other broken areas.
She's talking about Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla having balls but it's ten times easier to speak your mind on a podcast than on major tv networks. But then again, you have people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on Fox who are pretty vocal and get away with a lot of things!
I agree with you 100 % i have been trying to expose the heck out of the rest of these hollywood elites who have chosen to turn blind eyes an deaf ears to all of the abuse that's been going on in the sea org ect, I honestly don't understand why or how anyone can support Tom cruise or John Travolta Christy alley Kelly Preston Catherine Bell's, movies or anything there in ? We are basically just helping give even more power and money to people like David miscavige, and Tom cruise who's 2nd in command it's honestly criminal that they are literally getting away with slavery murder ect, no i have been doing everything i can to boycott these hollywood elites Catherine Bell Hallmark the Good Witch was once one of my favorites then i learned that she's a proud practicing supporter of Scientology ever since im trying to boycott any of her work it just breaks my heart that there's so many children who don't have a voice in the sea org there not treated like the Hollywood elites it's so sad i have heard so many horror stories about the sea org not to mention the fact Katie Holmes literally escaped and text Siri just before she went to the sea org ? That speaks volume to me.
Well... the 120 BAD episodes were RIGHTFULLY pulled offline. Encouraging people to get infected, N-word shows, joking about assault were not his better moments. And we all should agree on that.
Good on you, I’ve been following Rogan for a long time now. His topics are wide ranging and I can easily be interested in any person because the long conversation format. Its just real that’s why it’s interesting. Mainstream is glamoured up, sensationalized fake trash and people aren’t buying it anymore. It’s laughable when I hear the smears calling him misogynistic, transphobic or racist. Ridiculous. Happy to hear all this Rogan bashing is getting people to tune in. He’s coming out on top. Rogan is winning and by transitive, so are we.
I like that she said I don’t want you to believe me I want you to look it up and find out for yourself basically. It just kind of drives home the fact that she’s being 100% honest.
Good one! Haha I0wnY0uPL But of course in all seriousness, there's no way a Scientologist could write a report without being severely punished for viewing or listening to disparaging interviews on Scientology.
I'm sure I0wnY0uPL was joking, but he was referring to "Scientologists" writing the reports @Samantha Lindsey since it's their duty whenever they witness someone not behaving in the best interest of the "church." But Leah isn't a member anymore, so she can't be written up. Aside from that they would be punished for listening to negative podcasts, youtubes, etc about Scientology. Just Google "Scientology punishments" and you'll get a full range of cruel and inhumane punishments this organization is known for.
I’d like someone like Leah Remini as a friend bec. she seem like the kind of friend that will stand up for you cause you’re too shy or too afraid to defend yourself.
Wow this may be the best interviews I have ever seen man this lady is brave and I love how she explains everything in full understanding and detail man.😢
it is more of a conversation it seems, both share opinions and experiences - whereas an interview seems like one person asking another a set of questions.
I am floored! I knew a kid growing up who’s Mom was into this, won’t say his name but it was horrible to listen as a teenager what he had to endure, believe I was the only human outside that cult he confided to, he knew he was being brainwashed, he ran away, moved in with his dad and he has been grateful to escaping on his own, ever since. How terrifying. I always think about him and what he told me. I was absolutely terrified of this so called religion as a teen and knew they were not right. We would talk in secret, I hope and pray he is excellent to this day.
@@CoopsNME loool if even u admit ur racist, then ofc u don't like her because you are racist xD,i wish you well tho, ignorance is one of the worst illnesses one can get
@@buggytheprophet1017 I mean, Im not really a racist, I said this at 3am after going down the Scientology rabbit hole so I was not all there mentally. I definitely have some prejudices though, conscious or not. I think the accent gives me the impression that she's unnecessarily callous or sassy, namely the drawl and her enunciation of certain words. I by no means condone hate crimes or believe that any one race is superior to another, I just have prejudices.
I just want to put it out there for the algorithms to catch: we need people like Joe Rogan who have the balls to report on issues like this one and talk to the courageous whistle blowers.
Scientology is similar to Jehovah Witnesses. I recall having to put in time preaching and being sort of hounded if I was not 'active'. The cult pries on your life and/or why you did not attend the meetings. Cant be tired or take time off. Everything she says is so true and I understand it. Makes no sense to many but when you're IN -you don't see it as clear. Wow! Such an eye opener to this day. I love Leah and I appreciate this interview.
"I was, like, begging for them to tell me these things weren't true". Exact same as me when I left the Mormon church. I had been hit with information about everything from Joseph Smith Divining to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I went to leadership seeking answers to silence the critics and quell the nagging feelings I had. Having been born into the church and believing with all my heart and wanting to stay in my culture, I wound up BEGGING them to help me refute this information but they didn't, they couldn't. Being an Ex Mormon is nothing like being an ex Scientologist but it isn't far off either. The brainwashing is very real and the "group speak" is a perfect example of it.
I had one auditing session by a Scientologist years ago. When they were harassing me about having a thought and what it was literally demanding to know what I thought I told them “ I was thinking this is really stupid”
Reminded me when I talked to a Nun about becoming one, when I was 12. She went on a 45 minute rant. I kept thinking she's gotta eventually stop. And she did, saying any questions young lady. I said what of God and JC, you did not mention them once. Her true colors came out. She snickered, and went back to her subject matter. Their new telescope (time frame was early 70s), later named L.U.C.I.F.E.R
@@ejcejc4113 ..it was a good thing that my eyes were opened that day to organized religion. If all had gone well and I became a Nun, that same year reports came out about pedophilia within the church. I'm from bear country, was attacked at 5 yrs old by a pedo. I'd of gone hunting pedophiles, church to church. So it was a win win. Oops, sorry TMI.
Leah may have ended her education in eighth grade but dear God she is brilliant. Quick wit, charming, funny, charismatic etc. AND she managed to escape a cult she grew up in. I’m beyond impressed with this woman. She sounds like a magnificent human being and incredible friend. I wish her and her family only good in life. I cannot imagine all she’s gone through. Just horrible.
@Travis Van Alst her brilliance is in the fact that she's courageous, articulate and she's not sitting on her ass playing keyboard warrior. She's spending her own time and money to help bring awareness and help people. In an effort to stop this horrible cult from hurting people and devastating families. THAT'S WHERE HER BRILLIANCE IS.
Evelyn J I’m as vain as they come. I just turned 38 with a wife and four kids but I’m very into my long hair, skull rings, black skull cowboy boots, all that stuff. I basically dress like a vampire lol. I know it’s not the end all of life but it’s fine to be yourself and dress and look how you want. Family is more important of course. Can’t fault anyone for wanting to look good.
@Sam Bell Pilates She doesn't look like anybody that has had exaggerated plastic surgery. She looks within the normal aspect of an actress that did some filler, some botox but within limit. Her look is her moneymaker. All the famous models today get surgery before 25! Look at Kylie Jenner's lips and compare her to Leah. Leah looks nice and put together. Nothin weird. Everybody gets something done to keep youth a bit more. How disrespectful and selfish to cross her decision without her even looking monstrous or anything. She's NORMAL
@@adriantrejo6696, yeah, it's some crazy shit for sure, but how many millions of people believe that the universe was created in 7 days, believe in a talking snake, believe that a guy spent three days inside a whale and lived, believe in a burning bush that talks, believe that a guy magically parted the waters of the Red Sea, believe that a dude was both born of a virgin and was killed and brought back to life after being dead for days... all religions are filled to the brim with this kind of nonsense.
ric h yeah you’re right all religions are, it’s insane how people get stuck with only one ideology and the one they where raised in is the only right one. But I guess I find this religion way more controlling and insane, I mean it just doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I wish people would just open their eyes and think for themselves
Your hard work, dedication, and spiritual endurance are truly appreciated, and I am incredibly grateful for them. Your efforts have made a significant impact. Thank you for all that you do!
well she backed him in the sense of saying that him jumping on the coach was nothing to do with scientology and just cause he was being a bit crazy and madly in love

Then, a few weeks passed, and we were moved to another class where we had to sit next to a classmate but where absolutely not allowed to speak to each other. There was a box on each table full with random stuff like a cube, a feather, a button and so on. We had weird instructions and activities we had to do. It was all so weird but interesting at the same time. Suddenly I was told I will be matched to a buddy. Someone who is higher up and he will help me with all things scientology. This guy, he basically stalked me. I remember the day I got hit by reality and realized this is wrong. I was sitting in a cafe with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. It was the same day that marked the anniversary of scientology or something big... And there was this convention I got invited to and I really didn't feel like going. I wanted to be with my friend.

It was sooooo weird. I ignored it and after a while, luckily, they stopped. But this bullshit lasted for at least a couple of weeks. Never join a cult. It's draining.

👉I’ve been waiting to hear a story like yours [outside the publicized stories from I’ve viewed in Films ect]. Intriguing story! Sounds like they went Full Court Press with you immediately…
♦️Glad you were able to get out before they separated you from all your 💴 & free thinking …. ‼️
Thanks for sharing that story👏👏👏👏☯️
This lady was brainwashed since her childhood and yet she managed to get out of it. One can tell she’s 100% honest. Respect!
Martin Drienka I agree totally.
I like that.
no shes a fraud...don't believe her at all
Steven Berkeboom
i know this to be 100% true ... though i doubt its as bad as scientology where the doctrine its self is evil, not just the top practitioner's.... though all religion is bs so... i guess you you pays your money, you take your choice ... though i doubt that scientology would even entertain you unless you had lots of money to pay .Actually i thought that LRH pulled the idea out his ass. but sciontology has a LOT in common with mormonism so he wasn't even original in his own bull shit and stoll most of it from joseph smith . The movie "the god makers" is mormonisms equivalent of "going clear" if your intrested . there was allso a a fallow up to it made in the 90s were a women who was an a "apostate" says to the director on film that if anything happend to her it would be the church that was responsible, she was found dead iin her home before the film was realised and there was other murders involved too. That shit is real fucked up
Steven Berkeboom you arent forced to pay $ to be in the catholic church.
She's not flirting, she's Italian
S B My lawyer's Italian and, after knowing him for ten years, I can confirm this.
bobert1223 I've seen plenty of Italians act this way, even in Italy. They're open and social people. If they like you and your company, they show it. If they hate you and your company, they REALLY show it. It's just a simple observation I've made. Wait, why aren't you going after the person who just said that she acts this way because she's Italian? I just said I came to this conclusion through observations and research done over half of my life. Why don't you present evidence backing up your claims instead of getting all emotional and standing up for a group of people who didn't elect you to represent them? Present evidence, not emotions. I'm waiting.
bobert1223 One more thing: You're the one judging others. How can you tell me something about me when you don't know shit about me? God damn, what dud your parents do to you to make you so angry and miserable? I bet you liked your own comment to make people think you have a good opinion, too.
Shinji Ikari you're feeding the trolls
fattyjaybird Yeah, I realized that. Thanks, Captain Obvious.
Her and Kevin James had such great chemistry, love king of queens. Probably my favorite sitcom.
Leah Remini you genuinely are helping so many. I came across this only because i was actually interested in the organization and trying it out. I would never have known this without you. Its so dangerous not knowing the full understanding you signing yourself up for. I truly appreciate your bravely and for all you are trying to do. IT IS HELPING ❤❤❤ much love
Bravery
Scientology f*cked with the wrong broad! I love you Leah!
They sure fucking did.
Justin Lugo that’s what you got out of this podcast 😂😂😂 Epic man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
oh yeah, go Leah!
Yeah they did!
I want her to come back to the podcast and give us an update on everything.
asap.
I was JUST going to comment this!
There's just not much to talk about anymore Scientology was don't out
There is no update. They're still crazy af.
Careful you’re on the list now😂 but seriously she needs to come back
It's 6 years after the airtime and I still wanna say THANK U BOTH!!! your incredible 👏 i appreciate this on so many levels
Their chemistry and just overall conversation is so engrossing, entertaining…and captivating
*Do you realize how many death threats she's received? How often she was blacklisted even in acting because of this? To have been born into scientology but realize it was so toxic, that she CHOSE to leave herself no matter what. Most are terrified and say nothing. I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. Badass woman.*
(Edited only for 2 spelling mistakes)
FUCK YEAH!!!
She wasn't born into it, her dumbass Mom remarried a guy that got them involved in scientology.
Amen!!
Lizzy Grant religion is nothing but a gang
Leah Remini, or Carrie as I like to call her, is famous for her role in the show King of Queens. Definitely my personal top 3 next to the office and Malcolm in the middle for comedy TV shows

GREAT QUOTE, THANKS!!
It would be interesting to have Leah back on here to talk about the Danny Masterson case and how Scientology enabled his behavior.
Great interview and you guys get along well. I'm so glad you had her so she could expose these cultists for what they truly are. 16 mil people have seen this and now know the truth. Thank you Joe and God bless you Leah.
Truth tellers who tell the truth even when it makes their lives more difficult but do it for the benefit of others are the real heroes in life.
Wonderful way of looking at this incredibly destructive role powerful cults play on people. Jehovah Wineses destroyed myself, on soooooo many levels.
100%
But you dont have or rather shoudnt tell everything...but pick the thruth you want others to know about you.... information is a weapon....
@@km47804 .
I totally agree with you 💯
I love that she keeps saying "do you understand? Does that makes sense?". She is used to people not comprehending this information.
I kinda think it is an echo of the way she was spoken to by those folks administering scientology to her.
Yet that is not polite, the correct way would be : "Am I making sense to you?" "Am I making myself clear?"
Maybe she just thinks Joe is slow from all the weeduhhhh he's smoked.
Lol I like her fire she wants to know if you understand bc this shit is crazy crazy and people get lost with the loads and loads of science fiction BS
I get a sad feeling that its jargon she grew up with in the cult. Also, she is very specific with arbitrary things that dont really matter, some fragments from her old life baked into her social brain
It’s like living in a narcissistic psychosis for 40 years. Such delusional thinking is hard to reconcile along with finding self after being brainwashed for 40 years. So grateful to all who bust out the bullshit. Bravery beyond the veil - thank you ❤
One of the best interviews I've seen. Not even interested in scientology or anything about it, but hearing her talk about her recovery from it and what she's doing to help other people is awesome. And the adorable accent and mannerisms don't hurt.
I watched this whole damn thing. I'm so mesmerized by how honest that she is about this whole thing. She is truly using her second chance at life for good. I respect Leah so much!
Ditto! I was mesmerized by her story. Made me think over some of my things.
Can u imagine, since NINE yrs old...being in this crazy, easily sucked-in 'religion'..then revolting against it?! That's a smart& strong person.
Go watch how Joe treated Miscavige's father, then rewatch this... he's sick, truly
Matthew Galter what do you mean?
Danielle Young me too, girl
I went from only going to wash these dishes real quick while I play this podcast to deep cleaning my fridge and mopping the floor before I knew it. I loved this story time.
Joe is a great mind explorer and She is a great beautiful mind to explore. All she lived made her so incredible.

Lmao I do the same thing. Mom life being saved by podcasts like this huh
Same here. I did the dishes and laundry. I also scrubbed the walls of my kitchen and mopped the floor, i finishes all at 1am, amzing!!
Alia Hamida you comin over to my house next? Lol😆
I just love the "back and forth" relationship Joe and Leah have on the podcast, keeps us interested, gives a humor break (definitely to help with the trauma recall), then back to the info.
Ty Leah that was exactly what I agree with "I have faith"
You just summed it up in a nutshell.
Times they flirt, or she tries to flirt:
16:17, 19:03, 30:52, 33:02, 34:58, 1:00:04, 1:09:48, 2:14:53 until the end.
Timestamps sweet. Leah rem can get it. Remember back in the king of queens days it helped me clean the pipes daily
Unoriginal News someone join this shit together into one clip.
In fairness, she pulls it back to the subject too.
hahaha nice. You can hear it in Joes voice, hes thinking, " oh shit, after coming home late after interviewing Rhonda Patrick my wife is going to be listening to this"
Forgot 1:46:56. "Not bugs baby... baby do we need to go back?"
I was a production assistant on a sitcom that Leah was on. I never knew she was going through this. I loved working with her. She was so funny, and warm. I loved hanging with her backstage after the show. I tried throwing a party inviting the cast and crew of the sitcom. The producers didn't show, but Leah came to my house. I burnt everything, and the group carried the party at the third street promenade. Leah, I'll cherish the times we had together, and wish you all the best. I'm so glad you are doing well.
Love, Evan.
Thanks for sharing the story !! She does seem really cool
NICE!

@TravisPerrine HaHa! I'm appreciative of your blunt comment. Are you talking about Evan or Lea? :) I don't know this situation from ADAM, so I don't want you to think this, a trick question. I'm being genuine, here.
It’s refreshing to see what appears to be a real person sharing real stories.
Here in 2024 and all I can say is more people need to watch and share this!!
She broke free from a Cult and is now devoting her life to Freeing others in that Cult. She is a Freedom fighter for others now, what a Good women.

She was denied an education and had to educate herself. She’s done a wonderful job of standing up against the concept of Scientology and showing people how screwed up it is. God bless her an keep her safe.
Leah....I just love you so much. You are such a giving and a REAL NEED to help others. Ever since you've come out about this horrible, EVIL CULT....and you are HELPING THEM IN REAL LIFE! You're so INSPIRING. I am a 65 yrs old white woman who has been born & raised in East Texas. I was brought up going to Sunday School every Sunday....where I was taught by Christian, older, sweet, sweet ladies about all the fantastic stories told about the days that JESUS CHRIST walked the land.....and taught all the "average, normal, people" who walked with HIM....and Realized in their HEARTS....that HE ACTUALLY WAS THR SON OF GOD. How GOD had put HIM ON THE EARTH WITH ALL OF THE AVERAGE, NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE VERY BEST HEARTS IN THIS WHOLE WORLD----the people that are GOOD and DECENT AND HOLD REAL LOVE -- in their souls .....and literally feel the TRUE NEED to EDUCATE every person they meet.....who all wave the flag of this 2 tiered justice system e that is run by the WEALTHIEST ELITES who get to make up every rule & EVERYTHING THAT IS SO OBVIOUSLY wrong and SO ILLEGAL---- because it's all centered around WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY----it is THOSE people who have---NEVER BEEN HELD

@Mar Solie Yes to everything u said. Point of fact, entirely too much credit given for our public education system. Life’s a hard taskmaster
uranidjot
Yeah. It just sounds like a scam to get millions of dollars from celebrities. That's why when you want to get the money back, they refuse and label you an enemy. And they are more lenient with the bigger celebrities that give them more money.
This episode helped get me out of Mormonism. Thanks Joe and Leah!
I wanted to comment and say “they’re different” but as an ex mormon, a lot of what she said translates to the church lmfao
I'm happy for you! Glad you saw through the cult glasses! Live free now
Good for you
Be my third wife baby i promise i love u
Interesting how many similarities there are huh?
There are tactics used by men seeking control and power that are found everywhere during all time. The church and Scientology mirror those same tactics.
Don't speak to apostates.
Don't study material not approved by us.
Follow your leaders.
You're better than others("saved")
You are chosen over those not in your faith.
Memorize and study our doctrine
Don't question
You're in the right "boat"
Etc.
❤❤❤ Joe I am going through alot right now, I am in recovery from addictions (alcohol and turned into meth eventually) I need you to know that when ever I am struggling.... I know I can turn to your podcasts for hope, laughter, and just a sense of belonging ❤❤❤
Best of luck ! Stay strong 💪🏽
So brave! Thank you for coming forward 🙏.
I've never seen Joe look intimidated but her aggressive flirting has my boy shook
Daniel Singh he's thinking about he's wife listening in 😂 I felt like she wanted Joe to be honest.
Having money does not cure being a sheep!
Daniel Singh 😂😂😂😂😂
"Having money does not cure being a sheep!"
What?
Daniel Singh 30:54 swallowed his pride to save her marriage. RESPECT
She deserves so much credit for being completely honest about what is going on in Scientology.
Yes she does. She is throwing her married self on Joe. Too much make-up, nails a bit crazy and being in a community or Cult if it is & seems so.....but she seems mentally affected to me; yet, very smart. I am proud but these women on interviews I think just my opinion would be taken more seriously if the dressed better and waited off screen to do so much flirting. Joe reflected in in previous or maybe this one so well. He is a number one human being.
mean if these persons dressed normal, overdoing nails and make-up makes just saying she appears bi-polar. She has wasted so much money I do feel for her, etc. I am sure Joe is married. The egoS of these movie stars.

She will kick their ass
Leah
Remains so Composed and Peaceful after all the BS she went through
That is admirable
Leah, it’s amazing that you were able to see thru all this garbage and leave. I couldn’t understand how ADULTS (I’m thinking educated adults that finished high school), could ever believe this stupidity. NOW I understand. They keep you stupid & afraid so you don’t question anything. The fact that anyone believed they could leave is amazing. You, Mike, and others that have left, are such strong, courageous people. God bless you all on your continued crusade. ❤🙏🏻
Best takeaway; Leah wrote up John Travolta for Battlefield Earth.
And Tommy for his iconic couch-jumping stunt lmaooooooo
Why? That movie is hilarious. I mean it’s a gut bustlingly hilarious comedy. Right?
She says she wrote up Miscavige! She wrote up the leader...funny! lol
I find it amazing that the scios didn't complain about the RiffTraxx treatment of Battlefield Earth. "Some movies have it coming!" And Scientology *definitely* did have it coming!😁😁😁😁😝😝😝🙄🙄🙄
I'm not a Scientologist but I wish I could write John Travolta up for Battlefield Earth.
I don't get how people look at Scientology and think "yeah...this is legit"
Red Beard indoctrination from a young age. if you fall for it any other way you're a naive idiot.
Red Beard Same for Christianity in my opinion. People think a virgin had a baby, a sea parted, talking bushes, all sorts of crazy shit.
Stephanie Massengale oh this is how I see all religion. I saw through that bullshit in like 3rd grade.
"I don't get how people looked at the Nazis and thought... yeah this is legit"
not saying the two are on the same level, but it's a crazy weird slippery slope when being indoctrinated into crazy shit like this
cringerthemad Mormonism is nothing like Scientology. I'm an ex mormon.
I find Leah's stories about her life in Scientology fascinating and sad all at once. I hadn't seen her in this sort of format before so while I knew she would be a spitfire, I did not expect so much flirting! Goodness me! 😍🥰
Joe it’s time to have Leah back on the show!!

What bothers me is how these people get away with all of these crimes committed under everyone's nose!
I have a lot of respect for Leah. She’s not just satisfied with leaving. She wants to save other people from what she went through.
Shes like the girl who tattooed her eyeballs and is now warning others
She's talking about Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla having balls but it's ten times easier to speak your mind on a podcast than on major tv networks. But then again, you have people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on Fox who are pretty vocal and get away with a lot of things!
I agree with you 100 % i have been trying to expose the heck out of the rest of these hollywood elites who have chosen to turn blind eyes an deaf ears to all of the abuse that's been going on in the sea org ect, I honestly don't understand why or how anyone can support Tom cruise or John Travolta Christy alley Kelly Preston Catherine Bell's, movies or anything there in ? We are basically just helping give even more power and money to people like David miscavige, and Tom cruise who's 2nd in command it's honestly criminal that they are literally getting away with slavery murder ect, no i have been doing everything i can to boycott these hollywood elites Catherine Bell Hallmark the Good Witch was once one of my favorites then i learned that she's a proud practicing supporter of Scientology ever since im trying to boycott any of her work it just breaks my heart that there's so many children who don't have a voice in the sea org there not treated like the Hollywood elites it's so sad i have heard so many horror stories about the sea org not to mention the fact Katie Holmes literally escaped and text Siri just before she went to the sea org ? That speaks volume to me.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Good on you for not just accepting what the media was spewing and welcome to the JRE gang!
I never watched Joe til the media attacked him.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaa been here since beginning. He's a solid human being for sure. Good guy.
Well... the 120 BAD episodes were RIGHTFULLY pulled offline. Encouraging people to get infected, N-word shows, joking about assault were not his better moments. And we all should agree on that.
Good on you, I’ve been following Rogan for a long time now. His topics are wide ranging and I can easily be interested in any person because the long conversation format. Its just real that’s why it’s interesting. Mainstream is glamoured up, sensationalized fake trash and people aren’t buying it anymore. It’s laughable when I hear the smears calling him misogynistic, transphobic or racist. Ridiculous. Happy to hear all this Rogan bashing is getting people to tune in. He’s coming out on top. Rogan is winning and by transitive, so are we.
Soo good I've watched twice all the way through ❤❤❤❤

300 people wrote a report about this podcast
I0wnY0uPL who's going to write reports in them for watching this?
Good one! Haha I0wnY0uPL But of course in all seriousness, there's no way a Scientologist could write a report without being severely punished for viewing or listening to disparaging interviews on Scientology.
I'm sure I0wnY0uPL was joking, but he was referring to "Scientologists" writing the reports @Samantha Lindsey since it's their duty whenever they witness someone not behaving in the best interest of the "church." But Leah isn't a member anymore, so she can't be written up. Aside from that they would be punished for listening to negative podcasts, youtubes, etc about Scientology. Just Google "Scientology punishments" and you'll get a full range of cruel and inhumane punishments this organization is known for.

I love how you engage with people and have open, honest conversations. Feels more like a discussion rather than an interview.
it is more of a conversation it seems, both share opinions and experiences - whereas an interview seems like one person asking another a set of questions.
I am floored! I knew a kid growing up who’s Mom was into this, won’t say his name but it was horrible to listen as a teenager what he had to endure, believe I was the only human outside that cult he confided to, he knew he was being brainwashed, he ran away, moved in with his dad and he has been grateful to escaping on his own, ever since. How terrifying. I always think about him and what he told me. I was absolutely terrified of this so called religion as a teen and knew they were not right. We would talk in secret, I hope and pray he is excellent to this day.

Scientology is similar to Jehovah Witnesses. I recall having to put in time preaching and being sort of hounded if I was not 'active'. The cult pries on your life and/or why you did not attend the meetings. Cant be tired or take time off. Everything she says is so true and I understand it. Makes no sense to many but when you're IN -you don't see it as clear. Wow! Such an eye opener to this day. I love Leah and I appreciate this interview.
This was amazingly enlightening. But what I find is the fact that nothing is more important than freedom.

"I was, like, begging for them to tell me these things weren't true". Exact same as me when I left the Mormon church. I had been hit with information about everything from Joseph Smith Divining to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I went to leadership seeking answers to silence the critics and quell the nagging feelings I had. Having been born into the church and believing with all my heart and wanting to stay in my culture, I wound up BEGGING them to help me refute this information but they didn't, they couldn't. Being an Ex Mormon is nothing like being an ex Scientologist but it isn't far off either. The brainwashing is very real and the "group speak" is a perfect example of it.
I had one auditing session by a Scientologist years ago. When they were harassing me about having a thought and what it was literally demanding to know what I thought I told them “ I was thinking this is really stupid”
😂🤣😂🤣👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Reminded me when I talked to a Nun about becoming one, when I was 12. She went on a 45 minute rant. I kept thinking she's gotta eventually stop. And she did, saying any questions young lady. I said what of God and JC, you did not mention them once. Her true colors came out. She snickered, and went back to her subject matter.

Leah may have ended her education in eighth grade but dear God she is brilliant. Quick wit, charming, funny, charismatic etc.
AND she managed to escape a cult she grew up in.
I’m beyond impressed with this woman. She sounds like a magnificent human being and incredible friend.
I wish her and her family only good in life.
I cannot imagine all she’s gone through. Just horrible.
Where’s the brilliance? She’s a normal person with common sense. Is that considered “brilliant” these days?
You don't need school to have brains
@@travisvanalst4698 Not everyone is brave like her. I hope she brings this evil cult down.
@Travis Van Alst her brilliance is in the fact that she's courageous, articulate and she's not sitting on her ass playing keyboard warrior. She's spending her own time and money to help bring awareness and help people. In an effort to stop this horrible cult from hurting people and devastating families. THAT'S WHERE HER BRILLIANCE IS.
@@travisvanalst4698she’s not brave she got kicked out and she’s mad cuz she got kicked out
Thankyou Joe and Leah 🌻 Blessings Love 💚✨
"Jaime, run that back😂"❤ great show yall.Bravo
For a celebrity, Leah is such a real person. There’s no BS with her. She is who she is unapologetically.
Sam Bell Pilates I didn’t mean that. She’s vain about her appearance no doubt. I should of specified her personality is authentic.
@@dannydemonic4799 If I had her money I'd do all the plastic surgery shit too! And remember, looks are part of her job. Leah, You ROCK!
Evelyn J I’m as vain as they come. I just turned 38 with a wife and four kids but I’m very into my long hair, skull rings, black skull cowboy boots, all that stuff. I basically dress like a vampire lol. I know it’s not the end all of life but it’s fine to be yourself and dress and look how you want. Family is more important of course. Can’t fault anyone for wanting to look good.
@Sam Bell Pilates She doesn't look like anybody that has had exaggerated plastic surgery. She looks within the normal aspect of an actress that did some filler, some botox but within limit. Her look is her moneymaker. All the famous models today get surgery before 25! Look at Kylie Jenner's lips and compare her to Leah. Leah looks nice and put together. Nothin weird. Everybody gets something done to keep youth a bit more. How disrespectful and selfish to cross her decision without her even looking monstrous or anything. She's NORMAL
Jannis Joplin You’re right. Then again, you’re not Janis Joplin either. I’ve seen a lot worse than that gramatically mistake I just made. 😉
From an ex-scientologist, thank you Leah.
Congrats on getting out and I feel sorry for everyone or anyone that goes through things like this
Congrats for getting out!
Damn you actually believed that shit, lol
@@adriantrejo6696, yeah, it's some crazy shit for sure, but how many millions of people believe that the universe was created in 7 days, believe in a talking snake, believe that a guy spent three days inside a whale and lived, believe in a burning bush that talks, believe that a guy magically parted the waters of the Red Sea, believe that a dude was both born of a virgin and was killed and brought back to life after being dead for days... all religions are filled to the brim with this kind of nonsense.
ric h yeah you’re right all religions are, it’s insane how people get stuck with only one ideology and the one they where raised in is the only right one. But I guess I find this religion way more controlling and insane, I mean it just doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I wish people would just open their eyes and think for themselves
Your hard work, dedication, and spiritual endurance are truly appreciated, and I am incredibly grateful for them. Your efforts have made a significant impact. Thank you for all that you do!
I wish people will donate to directly to teachers that will help the children.
As someone who was raised in Lakewood Church from the day i was born until i was 16. I can relate to Leah Remini competely.
So I just started binge watching Joe and I can’t believe how great of an interviewer he is! Super great guests too! Thanks Joe! ❤️
He's fantastic
Ya me too hahaha like nonstop
I did this a few years back… You should start at 1 and move your way up… It’s amazing to see the progression from fleshlight to Elon Musk!! Lol
@@JustFun-tk4dt I will thanks
Me too! 🤣
She wrote up Tom for jumping on a couch!😂 I love her even more if possible, honey we all had internal reports on that one!
Matt D yessss I loved it so much when she said that. I was thinking YES GIRL 🤣👏🏻🙌🏻
well she backed him in the sense of saying that him jumping on the coach was nothing to do with scientology and just cause he was being a bit crazy and madly in love
Yeah he was a dick that day even Oprah was flinching like you are going to ruin your career you are nuts
