Thanks! :) As simpel as it's true, when it comes to most of things, specially religion...But then again, if you actually could reason with religious people there wouldn't be any religion to speak about, "only" humanity perhaps...
She broke free from a Cult and is now devoting her life to Freeing others in that Cult. She is a Freedom fighter for others now, what a Good women. 100% Respect!!!
Steven Berkeboom i know this to be 100% true ... though i doubt its as bad as scientology where the doctrine its self is evil, not just the top practitioner's.... though all religion is bs so... i guess you you pays your money, you take your choice ... though i doubt that scientology would even entertain you unless you had lots of money to pay .Actually i thought that LRH pulled the idea out his ass. but sciontology has a LOT in common with mormonism so he wasn't even original in his own bull shit and stoll most of it from joseph smith . The movie "the god makers" is mormonisms equivalent of "going clear" if your intrested . there was allso a a fallow up to it made in the 90s were a women who was an a "apostate" says to the director on film that if anything happend to her it would be the church that was responsible, she was found dead iin her home before the film was realised and there was other murders involved too. That shit is real fucked up
It amazes me how Leah was member of that cult from age 9 till age 43, literally her entire life and yet she managed to get out of that circus and with a sane mind
I don't see one comment which says: '' How sick is it that John Travolta is allowed to kill someone and get away with it by protection from the ''church''. Everyone just bla bla bla Leah is so good and Leah is this and is that bla bla bla. Are you all in Scientology too and not allowed to speak about it ?
I was a production assistant on a sitcom that Leah was on. I never knew she was going through this. I loved working with her. She was so funny, and warm. I loved hanging with her backstage after the show. I tried throwing a party inviting the cast and crew of the sitcom. The producers didn't show, but Leah came to my house. I burnt everything, and the group carried the party at the third street promenade. Leah, I'll cherish the times we had together, and wish you all the best. I'm so glad you are doing well. Love, Evan.
@@gaurimann7156 VERY cool indeed... Just DON'T get on her bad side. 😬 Lol...She definitely has GOT to be a lotta work/patience being married to, but yeah I'll always love her. Her husband is a very blessed, lucky guy IMPO.
@TravisPerrine HaHa! I'm appreciative of your blunt comment. Are you talking about Evan or Lea? :) I don't know this situation from ADAM, so I don't want you to think this, a trick question. I'm being genuine, here.
I get a sad feeling that its jargon she grew up with in the cult. Also, she is very specific with arbitrary things that dont really matter, some fragments from her old life baked into her social brain
I watched this whole damn thing. I'm so mesmerized by how honest that she is about this whole thing. She is truly using her second chance at life for good. I respect Leah so much!
I watched her TV series on scientology. Scientology picked the wrong person to pick a fight with. She's going all out to show the world how horrible scientology is, and it's working.
Katie Holmes has become a very outspoken provocateur of it as well. My roommate was telling me about hearing her story on a tv show she was watching (it could be the tv show you are referring to) and she said it was terrifying.
Interesting how many similarities there are huh? There are tactics used by men seeking control and power that are found everywhere during all time. The church and Scientology mirror those same tactics. Don't speak to apostates. Don't study material not approved by us. Follow your leaders. You're better than others("saved") You are chosen over those not in your faith. Memorize and study our doctrine Don't question You're in the right "boat" Etc.
*Do you realize how many death threats she's received? How often she was blacklisted even in acting because of this? To have been born into scientology but realize it was so toxic, that she CHOSE to leave herself no matter what. Most are terrified and say nothing. I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. Badass woman.* (Edited only for 2 spelling mistakes)
Leah Remini, or Carrie as I like to call her, is famous for her role in the show King of Queens. Definitely my personal top 3 next to the office and Malcolm in the middle for comedy TV shows
She was denied an education and had to educate herself. She’s done a wonderful job of standing up against the concept of Scientology and showing people how screwed up it is. God bless her an keep her safe.
Leah....I just love you so much. You are such a giving and a REAL NEED to help others. Ever since you've come out about this horrible, EVIL CULT....and you are HELPING THEM IN REAL LIFE! You're so INSPIRING. I am a 65 yrs old white woman who has been born & raised in East Texas. I was brought up going to Sunday School every Sunday....where I was taught by Christian, older, sweet, sweet ladies about all the fantastic stories told about the days that JESUS CHRIST walked the land.....and taught all the "average, normal, people" who walked with HIM....and Realized in their HEARTS....that HE ACTUALLY WAS THR SON OF GOD. How GOD had put HIM ON THE EARTH WITH ALL OF THE AVERAGE, NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE VERY BEST HEARTS IN THIS WHOLE WORLD----the people that are GOOD and DECENT AND HOLD REAL LOVE -- in their souls .....and literally feel the TRUE NEED to EDUCATE every person they meet.....who all wave the flag of this 2 tiered justice system e that is run by the WEALTHIEST ELITES who get to make up every rule & EVERYTHING THAT IS SO OBVIOUSLY wrong and SO ILLEGAL---- because it's all centered around WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY----it is THOSE people who have---NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE! To me----IT IS ONLY THE VERY FEW0/?
Yeah. It just sounds like a scam to get millions of dollars from celebrities. That's why when you want to get the money back, they refuse and label you an enemy. And they are more lenient with the bigger celebrities that give them more money.
Yes she does. She is throwing her married self on Joe. Too much make-up, nails a bit crazy and being in a community or Cult if it is & seems so.....but she seems mentally affected to me; yet, very smart. I am proud but these women on interviews I think just my opinion would be taken more seriously if the dressed better and waited off screen to do so much flirting. Joe reflected in in previous or maybe this one so well. He is a number one human being.
mean if these persons dressed normal, overdoing nails and make-up makes just saying she appears bi-polar. She has wasted so much money I do feel for her, etc. I am sure Joe is married. The egoS of these movie stars.
@@sourgirrll lmao you're right though. Females especially celebrity females dress nice and wear makeup. Leah is brave to speak her appearance doesn't take away her credibility. Old hag. Lol
I went from only going to wash these dishes real quick while I play this podcast to deep cleaning my fridge and mopping the floor before I knew it. I loved this story time.
As a 21 year old, not knowing much about life, searching for a purpose and a meaning and just wanting to belong somewhere. I remember signing up for this scientology movie night where you're being introduced to the concept of scientology. I was, along with 3 other people, the only one in the whole place. I'm embarrassed to say I was impressed right away. I signed up for a class a few days later and the horror started. I remember we had to sit in a room, not talk to anyone, we weren't even allowed to go to the restroom and ask a question. We received a booklet full of very personal questions and were instructed to answer them all by writing it all down. We had to sit for hours to finish the fase. Afterwards we went to the second fase where we had to work in a team (I don't remember much of that). Then, a few weeks passed, and we were moved to another class where we had to sit next to a classmate but where absolutely not allowed to speak to each other. There was a box on each table full with random stuff like a cube, a feather, a button and so on. We had weird instructions and activities we had to do. It was all so weird but interesting at the same time. Suddenly I was told I will be matched to a buddy. Someone who is higher up and he will help me with all things scientology. This guy, he basically stalked me. I remember the day I got hit by reality and realized this is wrong. I was sitting in a cafe with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. It was the same day that marked the anniversary of scientology or something big... And there was this convention I got invited to and I really didn't feel like going. I wanted to be with my friend. So the buddy texts me like where are you? Are you coming? Hoe long will it be till you get here?? Frantically texting me. I replied saying I won't make it. So he calls me, I feel obligated to answer so I do, to which he proceeds to lash out at me and tell me it's not oke for me to miss this and that I should lie to my friend and tell her there's some kind of emergency and leave etc. He was very upset. I understood and I decided there and then, this is actually not for me. The next morning I called in and said I'm not coming anymore, that I'm quitting this scientology thing. They of course tried to convince me to stay, even saying it's just one big misunderstanding and this buddy called me to apologize. But I was not going back. The next couple of weeks that followed me leaving where freaking weird. There would be big black cars following me randomly and standing by my house and I even received hand written letters asking me how I'm doing and that they're worried about me and I should rethink it and to just write back and tell them I'm fine. It was sooooo weird. I ignored it and after a while, luckily, they stopped. But this bullshit lasted for at least a couple of weeks. Never join a cult. It's draining.
I don't think you should feel sorry, they target people who are experiencing the same things you were on purpose. they're abusive scammers at best and monsters at worst
Hey Bud, you are not alone in this world. I struggled with education growing up. In my late 20s a switch in my head went off. Now, I am a sponge of all things human. Don't ever believe in a system. Believe in yourself, wanting to be a good person.
I was the same way! I was going to go to a “class” but I was broke & couldn’t afford it. I was called every week for months to come to class. Finally, I told the guy I couldn’t afford it. Never heard from them again. You dodged a bullet! No you are not alone!
👉I’ve been waiting to hear a story like yours [outside the publicized stories from I’ve viewed in Films ect]. Intriguing story! Sounds like they went Full Court Press with you immediately… ♦️Glad you were able to get out before they separated you from all your 💴 & free thinking …. ‼️ Thanks for sharing that story👏👏👏👏☯️
And these bullies are taking advantage of state’s decision that I can’t manage my own income.. so I’m really hungry and very sick and haven’t had any meds for fever in weeks and they are laughing about
I’m trying to get my ssdi out of JW.orgs Bible salesman hands because the pandemic is hard enough without them getting my relief money as well and Facebook just shut me down 😱
Well... the 120 BAD episodes were RIGHTFULLY pulled offline. Encouraging people to get infected, N-word shows, joking about assault were not his better moments. And we all should agree on that.
Good on you, I’ve been following Rogan for a long time now. His topics are wide ranging and I can easily be interested in any person because the long conversation format. Its just real that’s why it’s interesting. Mainstream is glamoured up, sensationalized fake trash and people aren’t buying it anymore. It’s laughable when I hear the smears calling him misogynistic, transphobic or racist. Ridiculous. Happy to hear all this Rogan bashing is getting people to tune in. He’s coming out on top. Rogan is winning and by transitive, so are we.
She's talking about Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla having balls but it's ten times easier to speak your mind on a podcast than on major tv networks. But then again, you have people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on Fox who are pretty vocal and get away with a lot of things!
I agree with you 100 % i have been trying to expose the heck out of the rest of these hollywood elites who have chosen to turn blind eyes an deaf ears to all of the abuse that's been going on in the sea org ect, I honestly don't understand why or how anyone can support Tom cruise or John Travolta Christy alley Kelly Preston Catherine Bell's, movies or anything there in ? We are basically just helping give even more power and money to people like David miscavige, and Tom cruise who's 2nd in command it's honestly criminal that they are literally getting away with slavery murder ect, no i have been doing everything i can to boycott these hollywood elites Catherine Bell Hallmark the Good Witch was once one of my favorites then i learned that she's a proud practicing supporter of Scientology ever since im trying to boycott any of her work it just breaks my heart that there's so many children who don't have a voice in the sea org there not treated like the Hollywood elites it's so sad i have heard so many horror stories about the sea org not to mention the fact Katie Holmes literally escaped and text Siri just before she went to the sea org ? That speaks volume to me.
bobert1223 I've seen plenty of Italians act this way, even in Italy. They're open and social people. If they like you and your company, they show it. If they hate you and your company, they REALLY show it. It's just a simple observation I've made. Wait, why aren't you going after the person who just said that she acts this way because she's Italian? I just said I came to this conclusion through observations and research done over half of my life. Why don't you present evidence backing up your claims instead of getting all emotional and standing up for a group of people who didn't elect you to represent them? Present evidence, not emotions. I'm waiting.
bobert1223 One more thing: You're the one judging others. How can you tell me something about me when you don't know shit about me? God damn, what dud your parents do to you to make you so angry and miserable? I bet you liked your own comment to make people think you have a good opinion, too.
Leah Remini you genuinely are helping so many. I came across this only because i was actually interested in the organization and trying it out. I would never have known this without you. Its so dangerous not knowing the full understanding you signing yourself up for. I truly appreciate your bravely and for all you are trying to do. IT IS HELPING ❤❤❤ much love
@@TSWARD-xb9rk Necrophilia is everything wrong with this country? Calm down, hes just a weirdo, I mean look at his name and tell me hes not a deliberate joke.
@@miamislice3280 😂😂😂 the broken mental healthcare system was more what i was referring to. Guess , I should have clarified. I think the statement falls under broken mental healthcare system. Among other broken areas.
One of the best interviews I've seen. Not even interested in scientology or anything about it, but hearing her talk about her recovery from it and what she's doing to help other people is awesome. And the adorable accent and mannerisms don't hurt.
it is more of a conversation it seems, both share opinions and experiences - whereas an interview seems like one person asking another a set of questions.
I just love the "back and forth" relationship Joe and Leah have on the podcast, keeps us interested, gives a humor break (definitely to help with the trauma recall), then back to the info.
absolutely. i like to believe it as a god-wink, or intention. that while you're digesting this stuff, these two people also have this interesting and silly attraction to each other. so perfect.
@@nternetratI thought that too, especially when Leah would low key throw little flirty lines at him MULTIPLE TIMES and Joe comes back with the most dorky answers and stuttering 😂 at first I couldn’t tell if he was just trying to respectfully dodge and decline her attempts, or if he just wanted to speak more professionally since they were on a live podcast. OR if he really did get nervous and wasn’t expecting it like he was shocked and almost literally “Speechless” to have been flirted with as if he’s not used to it, like he’s got a kiddie crush on her and he has trouble talkin to her trying to not say the wrong thing 😂😂😂 ORRRR there are some guys out there who are completely oblivious and don’t even realize when someone’s hitting on them even if they said it out loud, and end up screwing their chance up once their friends tell them “Dude wtf man she was totally hitting on you and your dumb*** really responded with that?!!” lmao 😂😂😂
@@CoopsNME loool if even u admit ur racist, then ofc u don't like her because you are racist xD,i wish you well tho, ignorance is one of the worst illnesses one can get
@@buggytheprophet1017 I mean, Im not really a racist, I said this at 3am after going down the Scientology rabbit hole so I was not all there mentally. I definitely have some prejudices though, conscious or not. I think the accent gives me the impression that she's unnecessarily callous or sassy, namely the drawl and her enunciation of certain words. I by no means condone hate crimes or believe that any one race is superior to another, I just have prejudices.
Leah may have ended her education in eighth grade but dear God she is brilliant. Quick wit, charming, funny, charismatic etc. AND she managed to escape a cult she grew up in. I’m beyond impressed with this woman. She sounds like a magnificent human being and incredible friend. I wish her and her family only good in life. I cannot imagine all she’s gone through. Just horrible.
@Travis Van Alst her brilliance is in the fact that she's courageous, articulate and she's not sitting on her ass playing keyboard warrior. She's spending her own time and money to help bring awareness and help people. In an effort to stop this horrible cult from hurting people and devastating families. THAT'S WHERE HER BRILLIANCE IS.
I love this interview! The two of you are great together, and the story is fascinating. I'm glad you both could find some laughter such a disturbing subject. Leah, you're awesome for putting yourself out there, being courageous enough to tell your story and therefore help many ❤❤
I find it amazing that the scios didn't complain about the RiffTraxx treatment of Battlefield Earth. "Some movies have it coming!" And Scientology *definitely* did have it coming!😁😁😁😁😝😝😝🙄🙄🙄
Joe is amazing. He let’s his guests go off on tangents, and succeeds every time in brining the conversation back. He‘s paying attention and digging deep. I don‘t know any other host who can do this so well.
Back in the day Howard stern was really good at it. He definitely directs the convo more when he knows the tangent won't be interesting. But nowadays its way different
@@emperorthylord oh I didn't realize I had a stalker that is obsessed with me and you should know by now eating glue does absolutely nothing but makes you very very sick. Why the f would you eat glue. Dumbass. Stay away from me.
"I don't get how people looked at the Nazis and thought... yeah this is legit" not saying the two are on the same level, but it's a crazy weird slippery slope when being indoctrinated into crazy shit like this
She makes me smile, even after the horrible past she’s sharing. I’m so amazed at her humor and honesty. Such a beautiful woman. Wishing all the best for her.
I am floored! I knew a kid growing up who’s Mom was into this, won’t say his name but it was horrible to listen as a teenager what he had to endure, believe I was the only human outside that cult he confided to, he knew he was being brainwashed, he ran away, moved in with his dad and he has been grateful to escaping on his own, ever since. How terrifying. I always think about him and what he told me. I was absolutely terrified of this so called religion as a teen and knew they were not right. We would talk in secret, I hope and pray he is excellent to this day.
@@maureent5742 I'm glad I knew someone who escaped from this cult. When I saw the documentary I realized they prey on single mothers. When I took my children for a doctor's appointment by their Sunset cult, I was approached with cards saying they offer relaxation and destress coping mechanisms. In that very vulnerable time, I possibly would've gone to check them out if I didn't know better
Evelyn J I’m as vain as they come. I just turned 38 with a wife and four kids but I’m very into my long hair, skull rings, black skull cowboy boots, all that stuff. I basically dress like a vampire lol. I know it’s not the end all of life but it’s fine to be yourself and dress and look how you want. Family is more important of course. Can’t fault anyone for wanting to look good.
@Sam Bell Pilates She doesn't look like anybody that has had exaggerated plastic surgery. She looks within the normal aspect of an actress that did some filler, some botox but within limit. Her look is her moneymaker. All the famous models today get surgery before 25! Look at Kylie Jenner's lips and compare her to Leah. Leah looks nice and put together. Nothin weird. Everybody gets something done to keep youth a bit more. How disrespectful and selfish to cross her decision without her even looking monstrous or anything. She's NORMAL
I’d like someone like Leah Remini as a friend bec. she seem like the kind of friend that will stand up for you cause you’re too shy or too afraid to defend yourself.
I've always adored Leah since KOQ was on the air...Her coming out against Scientology, knowing the incredibly abusive and hateful things they do, is one of the bravest things I've ever seen a celebrity do. I pray that one day, the IRS finally takes away their tax exempt status and Scientology completely implodes. THAT is how we clear the planet.
@@michaelchiello1946 the majority of other religions are faith based, non abusive in the way scientology is and are a choice. you choose to baptize your kids and they later choose if they want to be confirmed, you dont have to go to church and if you do as a kid its a minor nuisance that you dont have to continue in your adult life if you dont want to. people have access to opposing information and can choose if they want to believe in a certain religions teachings... religion also brings comfort and a sense of belonging and community to plenty of people and is in many cases very cultural. just because you dont believe in something doesnt make it bullshit or bad. TLDR youre an idiot or you lack critical thinking skills or both
Good one! Haha I0wnY0uPL But of course in all seriousness, there's no way a Scientologist could write a report without being severely punished for viewing or listening to disparaging interviews on Scientology.
I'm sure I0wnY0uPL was joking, but he was referring to "Scientologists" writing the reports @Samantha Lindsey since it's their duty whenever they witness someone not behaving in the best interest of the "church." But Leah isn't a member anymore, so she can't be written up. Aside from that they would be punished for listening to negative podcasts, youtubes, etc about Scientology. Just Google "Scientology punishments" and you'll get a full range of cruel and inhumane punishments this organization is known for.
@@adriantrejo6696, yeah, it's some crazy shit for sure, but how many millions of people believe that the universe was created in 7 days, believe in a talking snake, believe that a guy spent three days inside a whale and lived, believe in a burning bush that talks, believe that a guy magically parted the waters of the Red Sea, believe that a dude was both born of a virgin and was killed and brought back to life after being dead for days... all religions are filled to the brim with this kind of nonsense.
ric h yeah you’re right all religions are, it’s insane how people get stuck with only one ideology and the one they where raised in is the only right one. But I guess I find this religion way more controlling and insane, I mean it just doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I wish people would just open their eyes and think for themselves
I think she's brave too but I also think the only reason why they didn't come after her is because she's famous I think the nobodies that leave that church nobody ever hears from again if you know what I mean they're known for that but for her she was documenting everything filming everything there's no way they could do anything to her
Leah Remini is not just one of the sexiest women on earth, she's one of the realest people. Honest, full of integrity, kind, doesn't take shit. Nothing but respect for her, interview her again for 2020/2021.
I like that she said I don’t want you to believe me I want you to look it up and find out for yourself basically. It just kind of drives home the fact that she’s being 100% honest.
I just want to put it out there for the algorithms to catch: we need people like Joe Rogan who have the balls to report on issues like this one and talk to the courageous whistle blowers.
I had one auditing session by a Scientologist years ago. When they were harassing me about having a thought and what it was literally demanding to know what I thought I told them “ I was thinking this is really stupid”
Reminded me when I talked to a Nun about becoming one, when I was 12. She went on a 45 minute rant. I kept thinking she's gotta eventually stop. And she did, saying any questions young lady. I said what of God and JC, you did not mention them once. Her true colors came out. She snickered, and went back to her subject matter. Their new telescope (time frame was early 70s), later named L.U.C.I.F.E.R
@@ejcejc4113 ..it was a good thing that my eyes were opened that day to organized religion. If all had gone well and I became a Nun, that same year reports came out about pedophilia within the church. I'm from bear country, was attacked at 5 yrs old by a pedo. I'd of gone hunting pedophiles, church to church. So it was a win win. Oops, sorry TMI.
She said nobody else is going to watch this other than people that want to attack her, not true Leah we have your back and love the work you are doing to spread the truth hang in there and keep doing what you do!
I think she meant people in the church. If they're in the church and watching this, it's only for the reason of attacking her. It's also the reason it doesn't help people leave the church, because those people don't watch.
Leah, it’s amazing that you were able to see thru all this garbage and leave. I couldn’t understand how ADULTS (I’m thinking educated adults that finished high school), could ever believe this stupidity. NOW I understand. They keep you stupid & afraid so you don’t question anything. The fact that anyone believed they could leave is amazing. You, Mike, and others that have left, are such strong, courageous people. God bless you all on your continued crusade. ❤🙏🏻
well she backed him in the sense of saying that him jumping on the coach was nothing to do with scientology and just cause he was being a bit crazy and madly in love
I hope everyone can see how badass Leah is. To have to find you true self in the middle of your life because it was stolen from you since childhood AND take on the task of exposing Scientology......wow. Nothing but love and respect for Leah. Thank you Joe for having her on.
As a former Jehovah Witness, a lot of what Leah says about shunning rings true to my experience with the Jehovah Witnesses. Too many things to mention but I have lost my brother and my son to this religion let alone a grandson that doesn't even know I exist. I applaud your efforts Leah and you too Joe for giving her the platform to really express herself. The more we bring to light these atrocities the better. I agree to be what you want but allow people to come and go as they please and stop dictating who they can and can not talk to. These religions are so destructive to the families that are in and those out and need to be exposed for what they truly are. It is not loving or even natural for those in, to shun but if they don't they will themselves be labeled and shunned as well. Keep up the good work Leah...
Aloha Maximus, Thank you for your concern and yes I am fine....enough. My son actually came around to my house about a month ago and talked for about an hour it was wonderful and strange at the same time. Nothing confrontational, he just wanted to say hi. I tried not to bring up heavy stuff didn't want him to leave. It had been 10 years since we spoke this long and the first time in person! What had facilitated this was I had just run into him after my walk about a week before it blew my mind to see him I was so emotional... it was CRAZY to see him...I was so unprepared! But this next visit meant something because he came to my house and wasn't in a hurry to leave. It was like something in him realized I am not the enemy, one of his first comments was "wow your eyes are still the same." Those 10 years kinda melted away he remembered me if that makes sense. I know he loves me but he is not allowed to have an open relationship with me or he would be kicked out. I think he suppressed the love he had because that is what the religion teaches them if you're not in you are out... really out. It was good for both of us and my expectation of what can be is a little brighter. I miss him terribly and can only hope that one-day things will be really different. Knowledge is power, so my hope is by sharing my experience it can help someone else to make a more educated decision for a better outcome. All the best to you and yours Michele P.S. I am surrounded by loving wonderful people.... :-)
I have met a few ex Mormons and we have more in common than I thought... Religion to me, in general, is so dividing At this point in my life I prefer to hug a tree and be nice to whoever I meet... I'll decide if they are not good for me to be around for my personal reasons, not ones manufactured by a man made religion. My heart goes out to you... Just know you are not alone. Even if it brings some heartache I am glad you are free... :-)
@bina nocht the first time I heard about it was the show they’re talking about on A&E. Scientology and the aftermath I believe it’s called. Not sure if she did interviews before that or not.

Jonny Brown he's a smart man. She def acts like she wants the Joe Rogan DDD...
Pwowski,
No, she was flirting. Joe was trying to diffuse. She might be a swinger.
Yeah she keeps making it awkward as fuck about her nails and Joe's like .... Lets get back to scientology. Wear cologne!
What about choking?
Joe needs to bring her back on so we can find out what the follow up is. Back here in 2024 re-watching this amazing episode!
Same, that would be awesome and she's still good looking 👌
Her authenticity is radiant
shame it's all lies

Anti-flirting, she calls that out right away and moves on.
She is a flirt haha
That is a good one man ,thank you!
The only difference between Scientology and all other religions is, the other religions are more subtle with thier brainwashing.
I want her to come back to the podcast and give us an update on everything.
asap.
I was JUST going to comment this!
There's just not much to talk about anymore Scientology was don't out
There is no update. They're still crazy af.
Careful you’re on the list now😂 but seriously she needs to come back
Truth tellers who tell the truth even when it makes their lives more difficult but do it for the benefit of others are the real heroes in life.
Wonderful way of looking at this incredibly destructive role powerful cults play on people. Jehovah Wineses destroyed myself, on soooooo many levels.
100%
But you dont have or rather shoudnt tell everything...but pick the thruth you want others to know about you.... information is a weapon....

Martin Drienka I agree totally.
I like that.
no shes a fraud...don't believe her at all
Steven Berkeboom
i know this to be 100% true ... though i doubt its as bad as scientology where the doctrine its self is evil, not just the top practitioner's.... though all religion is bs so... i guess you you pays your money, you take your choice ... though i doubt that scientology would even entertain you unless you had lots of money to pay .Actually i thought that LRH pulled the idea out his ass. but sciontology has a LOT in common with mormonism so he wasn't even original in his own bull shit and stoll most of it from joseph smith . The movie "the god makers" is mormonisms equivalent of "going clear" if your intrested . there was allso a a fallow up to it made in the 90s were a women who was an a "apostate" says to the director on film that if anything happend to her it would be the church that was responsible, she was found dead iin her home before the film was realised and there was other murders involved too. That shit is real fucked up
Steven Berkeboom you arent forced to pay $ to be in the catholic church.
It amazes me how Leah was member of that cult from age 9 till age 43, literally her entire life and yet she managed to get out of that circus and with a sane mind
A brilliant woman smart
I don't see one comment which says: '' How sick is it that John Travolta is allowed to kill someone and get away with it by protection from the ''church''. Everyone just bla bla bla Leah is so good and Leah is this and is that bla bla bla. Are you all in Scientology too and not allowed to speak about it ?
Are you in Scientology bro??? What are you wearing??? AND HIDING?@@wearenotyourkind1990
@@wearenotyourkind1990maybe we just don't know what you're talking about. I'm going to Google it.
Sane?? At begonning you hear her with her nails and joe saying nice. She is delusional scientologist who wants to suck joes D
I was a production assistant on a sitcom that Leah was on. I never knew she was going through this. I loved working with her. She was so funny, and warm. I loved hanging with her backstage after the show. I tried throwing a party inviting the cast and crew of the sitcom. The producers didn't show, but Leah came to my house. I burnt everything, and the group carried the party at the third street promenade. Leah, I'll cherish the times we had together, and wish you all the best. I'm so glad you are doing well.
Love, Evan.
Thanks for sharing the story !! She does seem really cool
NICE!
@@gaurimann7156 VERY cool indeed... Just DON'T get on her bad side. 😬 Lol...She definitely has GOT to be a lotta work/patience being married to, but yeah I'll always love her. Her husband is a very blessed, lucky guy IMPO.
You didn't do shit
@TravisPerrine HaHa! I'm appreciative of your blunt comment. Are you talking about Evan or Lea? :) I don't know this situation from ADAM, so I don't want you to think this, a trick question. I'm being genuine, here.
I love that she keeps saying "do you understand? Does that makes sense?". She is used to people not comprehending this information.
I kinda think it is an echo of the way she was spoken to by those folks administering scientology to her.
Yet that is not polite, the correct way would be : "Am I making sense to you?" "Am I making myself clear?"
Maybe she just thinks Joe is slow from all the weeduhhhh he's smoked.
Lol I like her fire she wants to know if you understand bc this shit is crazy crazy and people get lost with the loads and loads of science fiction BS
I get a sad feeling that its jargon she grew up with in the cult. Also, she is very specific with arbitrary things that dont really matter, some fragments from her old life baked into her social brain
I watched this whole damn thing. I'm so mesmerized by how honest that she is about this whole thing. She is truly using her second chance at life for good. I respect Leah so much!
Ditto! I was mesmerized by her story. Made me think over some of my things.
Can u imagine, since NINE yrs old...being in this crazy, easily sucked-in 'religion'..then revolting against it?! That's a smart& strong person.
Go watch how Joe treated Miscavige's father, then rewatch this... he's sick, truly
Matthew Galter what do you mean?
Danielle Young me too, girl
It's 6 years after the airtime and I still wanna say THANK U BOTH!!! your incredible 👏 i appreciate this on so many levels
I watched her TV series on scientology. Scientology picked the wrong person to pick a fight with. She's going all out to show the world how horrible scientology is, and it's working.
I watched it too.
Great show.
Really well done.
Never knew who Leah was until last year.
She's great.
Fred Garvin
I watched the Louie Theroux film about it last night.. Kinda surprised why she wasn't in it
Oh Fred.
Katie Holmes has become a very outspoken provocateur of it as well. My roommate was telling me about hearing her story on a tv show she was watching (it could be the tv show you are referring to) and she said it was terrifying.
Tyler Meyers where? I've NEVER seen Katie Holmes speak of Scientology. EVER.
This episode helped get me out of Mormonism. Thanks Joe and Leah!
I wanted to comment and say “they’re different” but as an ex mormon, a lot of what she said translates to the church lmfao
I'm happy for you! Glad you saw through the cult glasses! Live free now
Good for you
Be my third wife baby i promise i love u
Interesting how many similarities there are huh?
There are tactics used by men seeking control and power that are found everywhere during all time. The church and Scientology mirror those same tactics.
Don't speak to apostates.
Don't study material not approved by us.
Follow your leaders.
You're better than others("saved")
You are chosen over those not in your faith.
Memorize and study our doctrine
Don't question
You're in the right "boat"
Etc.
*Do you realize how many death threats she's received? How often she was blacklisted even in acting because of this? To have been born into scientology but realize it was so toxic, that she CHOSE to leave herself no matter what. Most are terrified and say nothing. I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. Badass woman.*
(Edited only for 2 spelling mistakes)
FUCK YEAH!!!
She wasn't born into it, her dumbass Mom remarried a guy that got them involved in scientology.
Amen!!
Lizzy Grant religion is nothing but a gang
Leah Remini, or Carrie as I like to call her, is famous for her role in the show King of Queens. Definitely my personal top 3 next to the office and Malcolm in the middle for comedy TV shows
I love this woman, she is an inspiration and pillar of strength to get out of her situation.❤
Not to mention she's super hot, funny and basically the woman a lot of men would like to be with.
Based Leah. She's brave and bad ❤
She was denied an education and had to educate herself. She’s done a wonderful job of standing up against the concept of Scientology and showing people how screwed up it is. God bless her an keep her safe.
Leah....I just love you so much. You are such a giving and a REAL NEED to help others. Ever since you've come out about this horrible, EVIL CULT....and you are HELPING THEM IN REAL LIFE! You're so INSPIRING. I am a 65 yrs old white woman who has been born & raised in East Texas. I was brought up going to Sunday School every Sunday....where I was taught by Christian, older, sweet, sweet ladies about all the fantastic stories told about the days that JESUS CHRIST walked the land.....and taught all the "average, normal, people" who walked with HIM....and Realized in their HEARTS....that HE ACTUALLY WAS THR SON OF GOD. How GOD had put HIM ON THE EARTH WITH ALL OF THE AVERAGE, NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE VERY BEST HEARTS IN THIS WHOLE WORLD----the people that are GOOD and DECENT AND HOLD REAL LOVE -- in their souls .....and literally feel the TRUE NEED to EDUCATE every person they meet.....who all wave the flag of this 2 tiered justice system e that is run by the WEALTHIEST ELITES who get to make up every rule & EVERYTHING THAT IS SO OBVIOUSLY wrong and SO ILLEGAL---- because it's all centered around WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY----it is THOSE people who have---NEVER BEEN HELD

@Mar Solie Yes to everything u said. Point of fact, entirely too much credit given for our public education system. Life’s a hard taskmaster
uranidjot
Yeah. It just sounds like a scam to get millions of dollars from celebrities. That's why when you want to get the money back, they refuse and label you an enemy. And they are more lenient with the bigger celebrities that give them more money.
She deserves so much credit for being completely honest about what is going on in Scientology.
Yes she does. She is throwing her married self on Joe. Too much make-up, nails a bit crazy and being in a community or Cult if it is & seems so.....but she seems mentally affected to me; yet, very smart. I am proud but these women on interviews I think just my opinion would be taken more seriously if the dressed better and waited off screen to do so much flirting. Joe reflected in in previous or maybe this one so well. He is a number one human being.
mean if these persons dressed normal, overdoing nails and make-up makes just saying she appears bi-polar. She has wasted so much money I do feel for her, etc. I am sure Joe is married. The egoS of these movie stars.

As a 21 year old, not knowing much about life, searching for a purpose and a meaning and just wanting to belong somewhere. I remember signing up for this scientology movie night where you're being introduced to the concept of scientology. I was, along with 3 other people, the only one in the whole place. I'm embarrassed to say I was impressed right away. I signed up for a class a few days later and the horror started. I remember we had to sit in a room, not talk to anyone, we weren't even allowed to go to the restroom and ask a question. We received a booklet full of very personal questions and were instructed to answer them all by writing it all down. We had to sit for hours to finish the fase. Afterwards we went to the second fase where we had to work in a team (I don't remember much of that). Then, a few weeks passed, and we were moved to another class where we had to sit next to a classmate but where absolutely not allowed to speak to each other. There was a box on each table full with random stuff like a cube, a feather, a button and so on. We had weird instructions and activities we had to do. It was all so weird but interesting at the same time. Suddenly I was told I will be matched to a buddy. Someone who is higher up and he will help me with all things scientology. This guy, he basically stalked me. I remember the day I got hit by reality and realized this is wrong. I was sitting in a cafe with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. It was the same day that marked the anniversary of scientology or something big... And there was this convention I got invited to and I really didn't feel like going. I wanted to be with my friend. So the buddy texts me like where are you? Are you coming? Hoe long will it be till you get here?? Frantically texting me. I replied saying I won't make it. So he calls me, I feel obligated to answer so I do, to which he proceeds to lash out at me and tell me it's not oke for me to miss this and that I should lie to my friend and tell her there's some kind of emergency and leave etc. He was very upset. I understood and I decided there and then, this is actually not for me. The next morning I called in and said I'm not coming anymore, that I'm quitting this scientology thing. They of course tried to convince me to stay, even saying it's just one big misunderstanding and this buddy called me to apologize. But I was not going back. The next couple of weeks that followed me leaving where freaking weird. There would be big black cars following me randomly and standing by my house and I even received hand written letters asking me how I'm doing and that they're worried about me and I should rethink it and to just write back and tell them I'm fine. It was sooooo weird. I ignored it and after a while, luckily, they stopped. But this bullshit lasted for at least a couple of weeks. Never join a cult. It's draining.
I don't think you should feel sorry, they target people who are experiencing the same things you were on purpose. they're abusive scammers at best and monsters at worst
I’m happy you were able to see the light before you got too deep.
Hey Bud, you are not alone in this world. I struggled with education growing up. In my late 20s a switch in my head went off. Now, I am a sponge of all things human.
Don't ever believe in a system. Believe in yourself, wanting to be a good person.
I was the same way! I was going to go to a “class” but I was broke & couldn’t afford it. I was called every week for months to come to class. Finally, I told the guy I couldn’t afford it. Never heard from them again. You dodged a bullet! No you are not alone!
👉I’ve been waiting to hear a story like yours [outside the publicized stories from I’ve viewed in Films ect]. Intriguing story! Sounds like they went Full Court Press with you immediately…

It would be interesting to have Leah back on here to talk about the Danny Masterson case and how Scientology enabled his behavior.
Have been binge watching Joe Rogan since the media started attacking him, wow, what a fresh, different perspective in each episode!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Good on you for not just accepting what the media was spewing and welcome to the JRE gang!
I never watched Joe til the media attacked him.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaa been here since beginning. He's a solid human being for sure. Good guy.
Well... the 120 BAD episodes were RIGHTFULLY pulled offline. Encouraging people to get infected, N-word shows, joking about assault were not his better moments. And we all should agree on that.
Good on you, I’ve been following Rogan for a long time now. His topics are wide ranging and I can easily be interested in any person because the long conversation format. Its just real that’s why it’s interesting. Mainstream is glamoured up, sensationalized fake trash and people aren’t buying it anymore. It’s laughable when I hear the smears calling him misogynistic, transphobic or racist. Ridiculous. Happy to hear all this Rogan bashing is getting people to tune in. He’s coming out on top. Rogan is winning and by transitive, so are we.
I have a lot of respect for Leah. She’s not just satisfied with leaving. She wants to save other people from what she went through.
Shes like the girl who tattooed her eyeballs and is now warning others
She's talking about Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla having balls but it's ten times easier to speak your mind on a podcast than on major tv networks. But then again, you have people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on Fox who are pretty vocal and get away with a lot of things!
I agree with you 100 % i have been trying to expose the heck out of the rest of these hollywood elites who have chosen to turn blind eyes an deaf ears to all of the abuse that's been going on in the sea org ect, I honestly don't understand why or how anyone can support Tom cruise or John Travolta Christy alley Kelly Preston Catherine Bell's, movies or anything there in ? We are basically just helping give even more power and money to people like David miscavige, and Tom cruise who's 2nd in command it's honestly criminal that they are literally getting away with slavery murder ect, no i have been doing everything i can to boycott these hollywood elites Catherine Bell Hallmark the Good Witch was once one of my favorites then i learned that she's a proud practicing supporter of Scientology ever since im trying to boycott any of her work it just breaks my heart that there's so many children who don't have a voice in the sea org there not treated like the Hollywood elites it's so sad i have heard so many horror stories about the sea org not to mention the fact Katie Holmes literally escaped and text Siri just before she went to the sea org ? That speaks volume to me.
She's so cool 🌹
Yeah. She's a beast. Pop
She's not flirting, she's Italian
S B My lawyer's Italian and, after knowing him for ten years, I can confirm this.
bobert1223 I've seen plenty of Italians act this way, even in Italy. They're open and social people. If they like you and your company, they show it. If they hate you and your company, they REALLY show it. It's just a simple observation I've made. Wait, why aren't you going after the person who just said that she acts this way because she's Italian? I just said I came to this conclusion through observations and research done over half of my life. Why don't you present evidence backing up your claims instead of getting all emotional and standing up for a group of people who didn't elect you to represent them? Present evidence, not emotions. I'm waiting.
bobert1223 One more thing: You're the one judging others. How can you tell me something about me when you don't know shit about me? God damn, what dud your parents do to you to make you so angry and miserable? I bet you liked your own comment to make people think you have a good opinion, too.

it is more of a conversation it seems, both share opinions and experiences - whereas an interview seems like one person asking another a set of questions.

@@nternetratI thought that too, especially when Leah would low key throw little flirty lines at him MULTIPLE TIMES and Joe comes back with the most dorky answers and stuttering 😂 at first I couldn’t tell if he was just trying to respectfully dodge and decline her attempts, or if he just wanted to speak more professionally since they were on a live podcast. OR if he really did get nervous and wasn’t expecting it like he was shocked and almost literally “Speechless” to have been flirted with as if he’s not used to it, like he’s got a kiddie crush on her and he has trouble talkin to her trying to not say the wrong thing 😂😂😂 ORRRR there are some guys out there who are completely oblivious and don’t even realize when someone’s hitting on them even if they said it out loud, and end up screwing their chance up once their friends tell them “Dude wtf man she was totally hitting on you and your dumb*** really responded with that?!!” lmao 😂😂😂

I knew a kid growing up who’s Mom was into this, won’t say his name but it was horrible to listen as a teenager what he had to endure, believe I was the only human outside that cult he confided to, he knew he was being brainwashed, he ran away, moved in with his dad and he has been grateful to escaping on his own, ever since. How terrifying. I always think about him and what he told me. I was absolutely terrified of this so called religion as a teen and knew they were not right. We would talk in secret, I hope and pray he is excellent to this day.
I'm so glad he had you to confide in and safe to talk too.
So I just started binge watching Joe and I can’t believe how great of an interviewer he is! Super great guests too! Thanks Joe! ❤️
He's fantastic
Ya me too hahaha like nonstop
I did this a few years back… You should start at 1 and move your way up… It’s amazing to see the progression from fleshlight to Elon Musk!! Lol
@@JustFun-tk4dt I will thanks
Me too! 🤣
God bless Leah for speaking out and trying to save others from falling for Scientology.
A gorgeous dose of sanity in a corrupt world. She and Tim Curry should voice another videogame together, I would buy it in a second.
The irony of "thanking God" for someone escaping from a religion 🤦🏻😅
@@JoeMckeownMedia It’s more like a cult
@@JoeMckeownMedia Agnostics believe in God, and are not part of a religion
@@maureent5742 I'm glad I knew someone who escaped from this cult. When I saw the documentary I realized they prey on single mothers. When I took my children for a doctor's appointment by their Sunset cult, I was approached with cards saying they offer relaxation and destress coping mechanisms. In that very vulnerable time, I possibly would've gone to check them out if I didn't know better
For a celebrity, Leah is such a real person. There’s no BS with her. She is who she is unapologetically.
Sam Bell Pilates I didn’t mean that. She’s vain about her appearance no doubt. I should of specified her personality is authentic.
@@dannydemonic4799 If I had her money I'd do all the plastic surgery shit too! And remember, looks are part of her job. Leah, You ROCK!
Evelyn J I’m as vain as they come. I just turned 38 with a wife and four kids but I’m very into my long hair, skull rings, black skull cowboy boots, all that stuff. I basically dress like a vampire lol. I know it’s not the end all of life but it’s fine to be yourself and dress and look how you want. Family is more important of course. Can’t fault anyone for wanting to look good.
@Sam Bell Pilates She doesn't look like anybody that has had exaggerated plastic surgery. She looks within the normal aspect of an actress that did some filler, some botox but within limit. Her look is her moneymaker. All the famous models today get surgery before 25! Look at Kylie Jenner's lips and compare her to Leah. Leah looks nice and put together. Nothin weird. Everybody gets something done to keep youth a bit more. How disrespectful and selfish to cross her decision without her even looking monstrous or anything. She's NORMAL
Jannis Joplin You’re right. Then again, you’re not Janis Joplin either. I’ve seen a lot worse than that gramatically mistake I just made. 😉
I’d like someone like Leah Remini as a friend bec. she seem like the kind of friend that will stand up for you cause you’re too shy or too afraid to defend yourself.
So would Joe. Then he'd teach you to have the confidence to stick up for yourself.
Mad respect for this woman. Raised in this awful cult, 8th grade education, and she's so smart and articulate and good-hearted.
Eric J what if all that is because of Scientology and we just mis understand the religion
She addressed this very thing in the beginning of the show. Are you a Scientologist, Young Man?
Do your research (young man) its a freaking cult
@@Jcccc23 can we compare that to all of humanity k thx?
Leah Remini is #Targetted_Individual stalked and harassed by #GangStalkers
I've always adored Leah since KOQ was on the air...Her coming out against Scientology, knowing the incredibly abusive and hateful things they do, is one of the bravest things I've ever seen a celebrity do. I pray that one day, the IRS finally takes away their tax exempt status and Scientology completely implodes. THAT is how we clear the planet.
Amen
What about all the other religions? Need to get rid of all bullshit religion and then the world would be much better off.
@@michaelchiello1946 the majority of other religions are faith based, non abusive in the way scientology is and are a choice. you choose to baptize your kids and they later choose if they want to be confirmed, you dont have to go to church and if you do as a kid its a minor nuisance that you dont have to continue in your adult life if you dont want to. people have access to opposing information and can choose if they want to believe in a certain religions teachings... religion also brings comfort and a sense of belonging and community to plenty of people and is in many cases very cultural. just because you dont believe in something doesnt make it bullshit or bad. TLDR youre an idiot or you lack critical thinking skills or both

I love her and her message. She is a bad ass lady.
I agree she is badass. Question: would she be this badass if she was never part of the group?
@@حسنالشريفي-د4ظ , ahh!!! Good point!
She’s fucking stupid
Her message of wanting Joe’s sausage
@@حسنالشريفي-د4ظ Why you in a hate group??
Leah
Remains so Composed and Peaceful after all the BS she went through
That is admirable
300 people wrote a report about this podcast
I0wnY0uPL who's going to write reports in them for watching this?
Good one! Haha I0wnY0uPL But of course in all seriousness, there's no way a Scientologist could write a report without being severely punished for viewing or listening to disparaging interviews on Scientology.
I'm sure I0wnY0uPL was joking, but he was referring to "Scientologists" writing the reports @Samantha Lindsey since it's their duty whenever they witness someone not behaving in the best interest of the "church." But Leah isn't a member anymore, so she can't be written up. Aside from that they would be punished for listening to negative podcasts, youtubes, etc about Scientology. Just Google "Scientology punishments" and you'll get a full range of cruel and inhumane punishments this organization is known for.
elftails m I know I was joking as well, sorry 😐
416 atm
I love how open and real Leah is. What a firecracker!
She def is!!
From an ex-scientologist, thank you Leah.
Congrats on getting out and I feel sorry for everyone or anyone that goes through things like this
Congrats for getting out!
Damn you actually believed that shit, lol
@@adriantrejo6696, yeah, it's some crazy shit for sure, but how many millions of people believe that the universe was created in 7 days, believe in a talking snake, believe that a guy spent three days inside a whale and lived, believe in a burning bush that talks, believe that a guy magically parted the waters of the Red Sea, believe that a dude was both born of a virgin and was killed and brought back to life after being dead for days... all religions are filled to the brim with this kind of nonsense.
ric h yeah you’re right all religions are, it’s insane how people get stuck with only one ideology and the one they where raised in is the only right one. But I guess I find this religion way more controlling and insane, I mean it just doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I wish people would just open their eyes and think for themselves
Leah will never be anything but an absolute powerhouse of a woman. I see strength in her to the end.
One of Joe’s finest interviews. What an incredibly brave woman she is
I think she's brave too but I also think the only reason why they didn't come after her is because she's famous I think the nobodies that leave that church nobody ever hears from again if you know what I mean they're known for that but for her she was documenting everything filming everything there's no way they could do anything to her
@@ninarenee9561 they did come after her they just couldn't do anything
Right because she was famous so they knew anything they did would be put out there right?
I could listen to Leah Remini call me Baby all damn day...
I hear that
Agreed😂
I'd actually pay good money for that soothing shit.
Yassss
Uh huh! Yes!
Leah Remini is not just one of the sexiest women on earth, she's one of the realest people. Honest, full of integrity, kind, doesn't take shit. Nothing but respect for her, interview her again for 2020/2021.
I reckon she’s ugly
I just love her! I’ve been a big fan since King of Queens. She’s so down to earth and hilarious.
you're right, she's definitely not one of sexiest women on earth...
@@samuelthegreat1994
I reckon you're blind.
Sounds like a man... and has a huge XENU alien head....
I like that she said I don’t want you to believe me I want you to look it up and find out for yourself basically. It just kind of drives home the fact that she’s being 100% honest.
I just want to put it out there for the algorithms to catch: we need people like Joe Rogan who have the balls to report on issues like this one and talk to the courageous whistle blowers.
JR is real news, that's for sure.
He doesn't do shit like this as much anymore he just talks to crazy 1 in 10,000 scientists and "experts" then doesn't hear the opposing view
@Muzzy yeah if only he consulted people like Dr. Michael Osterholm or Dr. Sanjay Gupta before interviewing someone like Dr. Robert Malone….oh wait…
Yeah There has never been a shortage of Journalists/interviewers in this department.
He didn’t reinvent the wheel
@@MMGhost123 sheeple
I had one auditing session by a Scientologist years ago. When they were harassing me about having a thought and what it was literally demanding to know what I thought I told them “ I was thinking this is really stupid”
😂🤣😂🤣👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Reminded me when I talked to a Nun about becoming one, when I was 12. She went on a 45 minute rant. I kept thinking she's gotta eventually stop. And she did, saying any questions young lady. I said what of God and JC, you did not mention them once. Her true colors came out. She snickered, and went back to her subject matter. Their new telescope (time frame was early 70s), later named L.U.C.I.F.E.R
@@lisatsuda holy crap, false prophets
@@ejcejc4113 ..it was a good thing that my eyes were opened that day to organized religion. If all had gone well and I became a Nun, that same year reports came out about pedophilia within the church. I'm from bear country, was attacked at 5 yrs old by a pedo. I'd of gone hunting pedophiles, church to church. So it was a win win.
Oops, sorry TMI.
Baahahaa 👏😂👏😂
For someone so opinionated and outspoken, Leah has a really relaxing voice.
& an extremely intoxicating body
@@elibreezy lol
@@elibreezy she's (a) heroine 😜😘
I could literally listen to her talk 24/7/365
Scientology hás released an individual who is destined for creative splerge
As someone who was raised in Lakewood Church from the day i was born until i was 16. I can relate to Leah Remini competely.
I could listen to her say "off" and "talk" all day.
Taught... love it
And coffee
Omg I hate my jersey/new York accent now I feel better
Cwofeee
"That's what we were twat."
She said nobody else is going to watch this other than people that want to attack her, not true Leah we have your back and love the work you are doing to spread the truth hang in there and keep doing what you do!
This one of the fewest interviews I’ve ever watched on UA-cam that I do think I’ve read any negative comments about her
I think she meant people in the church. If they're in the church and watching this, it's only for the reason of attacking her. It's also the reason it doesn't help people leave the church, because those people don't watch.
I think she meant no scientologists will watch this except ones who will attack her
I love hearing her talk about her Grandmother. That is pure - it's nice to hear that she has good memories like that.
Leah, it’s amazing that you were able to see thru all this garbage and leave. I couldn’t understand how ADULTS (I’m thinking educated adults that finished high school), could ever believe this stupidity. NOW I understand. They keep you stupid & afraid so you don’t question anything. The fact that anyone believed they could leave is amazing. You, Mike, and others that have left, are such strong, courageous people. God bless you all on your continued crusade. ❤🙏🏻
Joe does a great job asking intelligent questions and then actually listening.
She’s so honest and her life story is incredibly interesting.
Kimberly Ramirez Leah and family’s reality show is funny.
I love the way she Twalks
@Victor Makris me? lol
I watched every episode of her documentaries. She is amazing and helped a lot of people escape.
Her documentary episodes? What’s the series called? Or, you mean her shared podcast on Spotify?
@@donion2122 They were on TV. A&E carried all episodes. I set to record the series.
Called Leah Remini: Scientology and the aftermath.
Good example that college is a waste, she never even had high school, got her GED
Isn’t the Left emulated many of the Scientology,s tactics to make one in compliant
Joe it’s time to have Leah back on the show!!
Yeah we need updates
Leah Remini is a hero for speaking up. Go Girl!! Also, she is HILARIOUS....
It's a great combination, is it not?
Remini lmao
👏👏shes very brave.
And hot
This is a very interesting interview and her Brooklyn accent just makes it better.
Do a follow up interview with her now that she is armed with A LOT MORE knowledge and wisdom about life.
Yeah especially bc of Covid and pandemic and the election, she can probs compare stuff
" is that pot in that ashtray? " 😆god i love Leah .
She wrote up Tom for jumping on a couch!😂 I love her even more if possible, honey we all had internal reports on that one!
Matt D yessss I loved it so much when she said that. I was thinking YES GIRL 🤣👏🏻🙌🏻
well she backed him in the sense of saying that him jumping on the coach was nothing to do with scientology and just cause he was being a bit crazy and madly in love
Yeah he was a dick that day even Oprah was flinching like you are going to ruin your career you are nuts
This is great. Five years later, there are even more things to discuss, just saying. Thank you, Joe and Leah.
Scientology is a woke pervert weird ass deal it's evil it pushes people away from god and decency
True. Danny Masterson is still on trial for rape isn't he.
There always is
And thankfully it’s being said by others now
Like what
Leah "I've never smoked pot before"
Joe "you should definitely try it right now" 😂
Ash Ketchem a man after my own heart
I wonder if she did after the cameras were off. She really seemed to want to.
@@chicknc5165 what happens in the Joe Rogan's podcast studios when the mic's are off....:D
I got anxious just listening to all of this. Good on Leah and her awakening.
I hope everyone can see how badass Leah is. To have to find you true self in the middle of your life because it was stolen from you since childhood AND take on the task of exposing Scientology......wow.
Nothing but love and respect for Leah.
Thank you Joe for having her on.
As a former Jehovah Witness, a lot of what Leah says about shunning rings true to my experience with the Jehovah Witnesses. Too many things to mention but I have lost my brother and my son to this religion let alone a grandson that doesn't even know I exist. I applaud your efforts Leah and you too Joe for giving her the platform to really express herself. The more we bring to light these atrocities the better. I agree to be what you want but allow people to come and go as they please and stop dictating who they can and can not talk to. These religions are so destructive to the families that are in and those out and need to be exposed for what they truly are. It is not loving or even natural for those in, to shun but if they don't they will themselves be labeled and shunned as well. Keep up the good work Leah...
Michele Tylor That's sad to hear about your family I hope your coping and dealing with everything well and have good people around you
Aloha Maximus,
Thank you for your concern and yes I am fine....enough.
My son actually came around to my house about a month ago and talked for about an hour it was wonderful and strange at the same time. Nothing confrontational, he just wanted to say hi. I tried not to bring up heavy stuff didn't want him to leave. It had been 10 years since we spoke this long and the first time in person! What had facilitated this was I had just run into him after my walk about a week before it blew my mind to see him I was so emotional... it was CRAZY to see him...I was so unprepared! But this next visit meant something because he came to my house and wasn't in a hurry to leave. It was like something in him realized I am not the enemy, one of his first comments was "wow your eyes are still the same." Those 10 years kinda melted away he remembered me if that makes sense. I know he loves me but he is not allowed to have an open relationship with me or he would be kicked out. I think he suppressed the love he had because that is what the religion teaches them if you're not in you are out... really out.
It was good for both of us and my expectation of what can be is a little brighter. I miss him terribly and can only hope that one-day things will be really different.
Knowledge is power, so my hope is by sharing my experience it can help someone else to make a more educated decision for a better outcome.
All the best to you and yours
Michele
P.S. I am surrounded by loving wonderful people.... :-)
Michele Tylor Same with me and Mormonism
I have met a few ex Mormons and we have more in common than I thought... Religion to me, in general, is so dividing At this point in my life I prefer to hug a tree and be nice to whoever I meet... I'll decide if they are not good for me to be around for my personal reasons, not ones manufactured by a man made religion. My heart goes out to you... Just know you are not alone. Even if it brings some heartache I am glad you are free... :-)
Same here, except no other family members got dragged into it. The similarities are striking eh? Every cult operates based on the same principles.
I remember when this first came out. This woman has some pretty big balls to expose this nonsense. The courage that she has to have is incredible.
@bina nocht the first time I heard about it was the show they’re talking about on A&E. Scientology and the aftermath I believe it’s called. Not sure if she did interviews before that or not.
@bina nocht pretty sure it’s called “Scientology and the Aftermath”.
@bina nocht Before the Aftermath, she wrote a book. SHe also did interviews. I think she was on 2020 or Primetime. It's on UA-cam.
Big balls??! I hope not! 😳
These two have amazing chemistry ❤I hope he brings her back in todays time
