Lila Mirrashidi, Deputy Commissioner for Policy at the DBO, told The Daily Beast for their article published yesterday: “LeClair was not cleared of any criminal charges. The statute of limitations just ran out. Any claim... READ MORE

While much more has been said about the book’s biased and fallacious reporting, suffice it to say that Going Clear was never intended to be anything other than a hatchet job. Any “research” was conducted from the sole... READ MORE

It amazes me that you would provide a platform to someone who so narrowly escaped jail time for masterminding a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that cost so many seniors dearly. READ MORE

I can’t recall any company I’ve ever come across that wants the public to associate their product or image with religious bigotry and hate. I can’t actually think of one! READ MORE

Remini’s program spews hatred rather than providing honest information. It has resulted in actual threats of violence against my religion by people who said they were goaded into criminal action by her message. READ MORE

I sincerely consider that your inherent duty, as media, is to uphold religion, faith, belief, decency and mutual respect, not seek to strike it down, trample on it and grind it into the dust—especially using discredited... READ MORE

Articles like this which attempts to demean a religion for bringing levity and enjoyment to children and families do a disservice to your own journalistic traditions. They serve to belittle and demean you and the publication... READ MORE

Georgia-Pacific has updated their media buying guidelines to exclude programs that feature content of this nature. I would suggest that you adopt a similar policy. The year is 2018, not 1818, and people are not as uninformed... READ MORE

Megyn Kelly, in her NBC Today show, broadcast the statement of the Deputy Commissioner of Policy for the California Department of Business Oversight. It is completely damning of LeClair and her fabricated story. READ MORE

Would you say that Connor Cruise was “on lockdown” in a synagogue, Catholic church or mosque? I really doubt it. Then why do you feel you can get away with it here? READ MORE

While I appreciate that Guinn and Wright are bedfellows, in a figurative sense, further hyping of a notorious propaganda piece by Guinn actually cloaks him in the same mantle of bigotry. READ MORE

I’m sure the producers and proponents of this show have done their best to marginalize and de-legitimize people like myself in an effort to convince you that what they are doing is okay. But it isn’t. READ MORE

Please draw the line on what your company is willing to fund in the way of programming. Don’t allow your advertising dollars to support shows that are driven by hate, resentment and bigotry. READ MORE

I ask you NOT to advertise on this program so your company is not viewed as condoning religious hatred. READ MORE

Mike Rinder, who works for Disney under the umbrella of ABC and A&E, continues his steady stream of racist jokes maligning me by mocking my Asian surname on his personal website with a slur that is also homophobic. READ MORE

I understand that he is, in his own words, “obsessed with Scientology,” but his obsession would be better satisfied finding out what it is and not just casting needless and baseless aspersions. READ MORE

The attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions is unforgivable and I have vocally stood against them and shall continue to do so. I believe that we should treat each other with mutual respect. READ MORE

I would hope you’d consider keeping the company of cooler heads and not placing your product where no good outcome is possible. READ MORE

I could go on and on pointing out the lies spread by Remini and her pseudo-experts but even that is secondary to the idea of freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of religion, freedom from harassment… take your pick. READ MORE

Are you aware that another A&E advertiser, Georgia-Pacific, recently chose to sever its association with the show “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath?” They stated they are adding that show to their “do not air”... READ MORE

According to the American Bar Association website: “Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits.” READ MORE

Her program spews hatred rather than providing honest information. It has resulted in threats of violence against my religion by people who said they were goaded into criminal action by her message. READ MORE

Had you exhibited a single iota of genuine interest in the subject, you would have noticed that, not one, but six CCHR documentaries air weekly on Scientology.tv. But again, why allow truth to get in the way of prejudiced... READ MORE

I see that news.com.au is the new mouthpiece for an American bigot-at-large. If you really think that Leah Remini, the ex-communicated, former Scientologist, has any credibility amongst the thinking public, you are sorely... READ MORE

Western culture is experiencing a golden age of tolerance, represented by the #MeToo movement, by increased respect for LGBTQs, African Americans, and others. Yet, in the face of this rising tide of pluralism, you are propping... READ MORE

This is Remini’s “aftermath”—harm, destruction, prison sentences, broken families and bullied children. These are her gifts. READ MORE

Erika just gave birth to her second child. This is a tremendously joyous occasion and certainly a viewing of her Instagram images shows how happy she and her husband are. That being the case, why would you make digs at her... READ MORE

In this time of intolerance, misunderstanding, hate and vengeful invective against people and religions, no one needs to add to it. Rather, we all need to find and explore points of agreement and so achieve greater understanding. READ MORE

Asian Americans for generations have had to deal with stereotypes, jokes and slurs from people like Rinder, who think they are clever and funny, but in fact just reveal their insensitivity, cluelessness and underlying racism. READ MORE

Just because Remini and her ilk are off the deep end of history is no reason for you jump off the ledge with her. READ MORE
