Leah Remini’s show on A&E is not about Scientology but about her twisted version of events. Were any of her televised installments true, Scientology would not exist. Her claims are outlandish, to put it mildly.
MEDIA WATCH
Remini and her sidekick, Mike Rinder, parade themselves as bastions of goodwill, while through their despicable actions they destroy families and happiness left and right and get nominated for it. This is sickening.

Mr. McAfee responded to this letter by writing in part: My intent was not to offend anyone, so for that I'm sorry. I only seek to critique beliefs, and not believers, and I do believe everyone has the right to believe as they see fit (as long as they don't harm anyone else as a result of those beliefs). Thank you for your time. David G. McAfee
MEDIA WATCH
Unfortunately though, you are force-feeding the thinking public a diet of your obsession and her drivel, best described as hate-speech. No one asked for it and no one needs it, least of all those who are the subject of it—Scientologists. But you keep piling it on.
MEDIA WATCH
The reason Scientology has survived and flourished, as it has for the last 67 years, notwithstanding the carping criticism of certain bigoted sources, is its workability and thus its popularity. You name-drop the word Scientology into your article because of its recognition and its popularity. Were that not true, it would be a dim distant memory in only a few people’s minds. It isn’t.
MEDIA WATCH
It is unconscionable in this day and age that a reporter for a respected news network should be permitted to get away with this type of invitation to violence. It would not be tolerated with any other religion and should in no way be tolerated against Scientology.
MEDIA WATCH
I find it very strange at this point in history that any company would produce a show that would so viciously attack a recognized religion, especially one that has done so much to help mankind. I mean, come on—this is 2017, not 1930 (Germany), 1605 (religious persecution in Europe) or 1300 (Inquisition).
MEDIA WATCH
When you really look at this, it is the responsibility of each individual to improve themselves and not up to someone else. So Leah Remini blaming others for her state of mind is a serious mis-assignment of responsibility.
MEDIA WATCH
Remini’s hate campaign, misrepresented as a “public service” in your puff piece, has caused actual harm to individuals and families, as demonstrated in these specific instances I know of personally.
MEDIA WATCH
The July 13 piece, fawning over Remini’s Emmy announcement, was just today eviscerated by none other than Radar Online who report that the whole series “was a total act.” Radar further reports that an erstwhile associate of Remini’s branded her show “cheap and fake” because it was “scripted” and is without a bone of genuine content as she, Remini, is only doing it “for the money.”
