King of Queens Star Leah Remini Discusses Her Escape from Scientology

By Published on September 10, 2015

A few months ago, I was at a taping of the NBC game show “I Can Do That!”, which included dancer/choreographer Cheryl Burke (“Dancing With the Stars”) as a contestant. I was sitting in the green room with Burke’s then-beau, restaurateur J.T. Torregiani, and one of Burke’s friends, former “King of Queens” star Leah Remini.

With an NBC publicist joining in, there was general Catholic inside-baseball chat going on — “Where do you go to Mass? Who has the best music?” — and Remini was joining in from time to time. I knew that Remini, also a baptized Catholic, had left the “Church” of Scientology in 2013, and I’d heard she was returning to the Faith. It sure seemed to be the case that evening.

Remini now appears Wednesdays (9 p.m. ET/PT) on TLC in the second season of her own reality show, “It’s All Relative,” on which she recently discussed abandoning the secretive, controlling cult (subject of an HBO expose called “Going Clear”).
