"For 17 years, Scientology and David Miscavige have subjected me to what I believe to be psychological torture, defamation, surveillance, harassment, and intimidation, significantly impacting my life and career," Remini said."I believe I am not the first person targeted by Scientology and its operations, but I intend to be the last."
Remini claims that she was a target of such behavior, which she alleges was enacted against her in an effort to"totally restrain and muzzle,""obliterate" and"utterly ruin" her. Remini additionally claims that iHeartMedia producers and executives"grew so fearful" of Scientology that they"made the decision to terminate" her podcast"to protect its employees and agents, even though the show was successful in its ratings."
