I've noticed some bigger, mainstream publications are starting to pick up the story (like the Hollywood Reporter), so hopefully that is an indicator that the LAPD are treating it like a big deal.
ETA: Yep, must be real, because the CoS is clearly sweating it. I just logged onto Twitter and saw a "promoted" tweet from something called the "STAND League" whose logo is the CoS logo and their promoted tweet was about how Tony Ortega is FAKE NEWS and SPREADS HATE. If they are spending money on refuting the claims, there must be something to them.

I also wonder, in light of certain LAPD members' coziness with (or outright membership in) Scientology, whether the investigation is going to go anywhere. Look at how the Shelley Miscavige disappearance got swept under the rug. I think one of the victims has said that this is basically what the LAPD did to her case as well.

I AM HERE FOR IT! Woo hoo!
I hope the Scientologists realize what a mistake they made with Leah. She wasn't faking her conviction and now it's turned against them. I hope she takes them down--I don't doubt her ability to do it.
ETA: I just thought about it, and I don't really think any of the former Scientologists were faking their conviction, but when they got kicked out they were overcome by a mix of cynicism, apathy, confusion, and regret. I think what sets Leah apart is her convictions are just as strong and she's just as dedicated to what she believes is right; she's just redirected them against what used to guide them. And I love her for it.

And I love her for it. I like that she seems to feel a responsibility to set the record straight, since she'd been so vocal in support of the "church" when she was a member. It's made even better by the fact that she's said they trained her to be dogged, and she will continue to be so.

I'm watching Leah's interview with Joe Rogan and heard the best thing ever when they got to the part where she talks about how Scientologists write each other up for being bad Scientologists. Leah wrote up David Miscavige. I knew this. But she also wrote up Tom Cruise for being an inappropriate shitbird after jumping on Oprah's couch, AND she wrote up John Travolta for Battlefield Earth because it was so fucking bad. She is my fucking hero. That is hilarious.
