I've been watching the new season of BoJack Horseman (it's actually very good. And about depression - but funny!) and they spent a couple episodes this season totally slamming Scientology, but way of another cult that was totally a stand-in for them.
The biggest kick was during the credits I saw that Jason Beghe did some voice work in those episodes.

Makes you wonder about why the higher ups demand a lot of the followers have abortion.Having kids seems to make some the followers realize that they'll have no control over their own kids and it forces them to make the decision to leave. not all of course, but the smarter ones.

Leah Remini is...out? Of Co$? Excellent. Good for her and her loved ones. I totally missed her decision to escape, if it was publicized. I'm truly glad she has found her way to the real world.

This article tells the story of Leah leaving in 2013.

I thought the Masterson boys were in the CO$ since childhood, so just as they cut him out as an SP he considers them dead to him? Well, at least the feeling is mutual!

To be fair, the full quote is, "Don't get me wrong. Sure, it's a loss not having your children you raised, but now, in my mind, it's like they died. They're dead mentally because I can't speak to them. Not that I don't love my kids but what do you do?" It's clear in the article that he wishes he could have a relationship with them, but he hasn't spoken to them since he was declared an SP.

Leah has only discussed $cientology in-depth on her reality show twice I think, the premiere of both seasons. Every once in a while the Co$ releases a nasty statement about her, but she's pretty good about pointing out their hypocrisy in a matter of fact fashion. I hate reality shows but I make a point of watching hers. It's pretty light and fluffy most of the time. There isn't the typical reality show fighting and back-stabbing - other than Leah's normal ranting bits (the same stuff she does on interviews).

There isn't the typical reality show fighting and back-stabbing - other than Leah's normal ranting bits (the same stuff she does on interviews). I like her show too, it's light and they're pretty likable most of the time. I thought the discussion of Scientology in the season premiere was really interesting. Sounds like the treatment of Leah was the catalyst for everyone leaving, but no one regrets leaving other than the friends/family they can't communicate with any more. I really felt for the brother-in-law whose father cut him off, but he still seemed happy to be out.
