Cruise joined the church in 1986
Leah Remini has called out Tom Cruise for his “crimes against humanity” while warning “don’t let movie star charm fool you.”
Actress Leah Remini has been an outspoken voice against the Church of Scientology since she left in 2013. Taking to Twitter on June 11, Remini shared a Facebook post from another Former Scientologist, Claire Headley.
Thank you to my friend @claireheadley for your courage.
You have continued to speak out despite the non-stop attacks from Scientology.
And as Claire says in her post below, Tom Cruise knows exactly what goes on in Scientology.

The post referenced the 59-year-old’s latest flick, Top Gun: Maverick, and how her mind has been on Cruise himself. Headley detailed a series of events, including forced abortion, human trafficking and attempted kidnap.
Sharing a screenshot of the post, Remini added: “Thank you to my friend @claireheadley for your courage.

“And as Claire says in her post below, Tom Cruise knows exactly what goes on in Scientology.

Cruise joined the church in 1986 at the behest of his ex-wife Mimi Rogers who has since left the organisation.
Headley and her husband Marc filed a case against the church back in 2009 but were told that the organisation is protected by “ministerial exemption”, which gives religious bodies special powers in the US.
On Cruise specifically, Headley wrote: “Tom Cruise promotes a dangerous cult that destroyed my family too, the same cult that almost cost me my marriage and my life.
“The same cult that forced me to have two abortions, and which I fled from in 2005 with the clothes on my back and $200 in my pocket, to which they tracked me down, across state lines, to attempt to prevent my escape.”
The allegations against Scientology are plentiful, yet the organisation remains fairly untouched.
