Since getting together with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes was thrust in the spotlight and that held true when they separated. Holmes has taken a jab the media for their inaccuracies when writing about Tom’s relationship with Suri. According to Leah Remini, that relationship was a major reason for the church of Scientology turning on Holmes during her exit.
Speaking alongside Adam Carolla, Leah Remini detailed her struggles with Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise during her time in Scientology. Although she didn’t hit it off with Holmes, things took a turn when Remini realized what Holmes was doing in an effort to protect her daughter from the church. We’re going to take a closer look at how Holmes turned into the enemy, while also revealing how Holmes feels about Remini, particularly once she left the church.
Nowadays, it seems like Remini isn’t over her disastrous time in Scientology, and that anger towards Tom Cruise hasn’t subsided either. Let’s take a closer look.
Katie Holmes Taking Her Daughter Out Of Scientology Was A Bad Look For Tom Cruise And Put Her On The Enemy List
Speaking alongside Adam Carolla, Leah Remini had several reveals about her time in Scientology. According to the actress, her time alongside Katie Holmes did not start off on the right track. Holmes allegedly wrote a negative report about Remini’s behavior, which angered Leah given she was with Scientology longer that Holmes.
Ultimately, things took a turn and Holmes took herself out of Scientology. Remini recalls the exact moment things took a turn, and it was when she decided to pull her daughter Suri out. This was a bad look for Tom Cruise especially, which made Holmes an enemy. Remini slammed Tom Cruise.
Remini reveals, “Scientology considers Katie a suppressive person which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes, like all Scientologists, that he can’t be connected to Suri.”
She continues, “I knew Katie when she was in [Scientology] and she seemed very indoctrinated into Tom’s world,” she said, “but as time went on, and I understood why she did what she did to protect her daughter … I’m only assuming that there’s some type of agreement to protect her daughter.”
Remini has been very open and honest about her time with the church. Though has Katie Holmes reacted to Remini’s past statements?
Katie Holmes Regretted Her Past Dispute With Leah Remini And Wished Her The Best
Katie Holmes’ team did issue a statement about her past with Leah Remini. According to Holmes, there is regret on the way she handled Remini back in the day during their time together in Scientology. Holmes revealed, “I regret having upset Leah in the past, and wish her only the best in the future,” Holmes says.
Katie Holmes wished Leah Remini only the best, while she refuses to talk about Scientology.
“Katie is not making an appearance on the special, nor is she discussing Scientology, or her former marriage, and this quote was provided through her publicist,” her team revealed.
“For any outlet to suggest otherwise is misleading; I would think Leah and the book stand on their own, and don’t need to trade off Katie Holmes for people to tune in.”
It would appear as though Katie Holmes honored her word not to discuss anything related to Tom Cruise, while hasn’t talked about her exit from Scientology either. This is unlike Leah Remini who hasn’t been afraid to share her thoughts. That holds true today, despite Tom’s recent success.
Leah Remini Still Hasn’t Forgiven Tom Cruise Despite His Recent Success In Hollywood
Over on X, Leah Remini advised the fans not to be fooled by Tom Cruise’s success on big-screen, especially following the release of Top Gun: Maverick, which broke records at the box office.
Remini said, “Tom Cruise knows exactly what goes on in Scientology,” she wrote on Twitter. “Don’t let the movie star charm fool you.” Remini criticized Tom Cruise’s Scientology connection despite his Top Gun: Maverick success.
Remini continued, “No, I will not watch the movie, nor will I ever support or approve of this scam of a man,” she wrote. “Trust me, Tom Cruise knows exactly who he is supporting and the abuses that organization perpetrates. I worked with him while I was there.”
Leah tells fans, “You have continued to speak out despite the non-stop attacks from Scientology.”
As expected, Remini didn’t get any type of response from Tom Cruise or the church of Scientology. As mentioned earlier, speaking ill of Tom Cruise is forbidden in the church. Nonetheless, Remini hasn’t backed down on her stance all these years later, taking on multiple interviews and writing books detailing her experience.
