Leah Remini and The A&E Series are ending. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress’ A&E TV show Scientology and the Aftermath is ending after three seasons.
In the finale, which will be filmed for the first time in front of a live studio audience, Remini and Mike Rinder will “explore stories of how Church of Scientology policies have hindered members from reporting instances of abuse and sexual assault to the authorities,” according to the official description. They will speak to ex-Scientologists who share their stories of abuse at the hands of other Scientologists, and describe how the policies are aimed at preventing the alleged crimes from becoming public. A panel of legal, psychological and law-enforcement experts also will provide insight into the impact Scientology’s practices have had on its former parishioners and advise how they can seek justice and effect change in the future.
A final, two-hour episode of Scientology and the Aftermath will debut on A&E on August 26th.
Response From Leah Remini:
We’re exposing so much, but we need to do some other things to bring the fight to a different level. We did not plan on more than a season or two. I always thought it would be six or eight episodes and that would be enough for the FBI, local police and the IRS to start doing something about it — or at the very least revoke their tax exemptions. People kept telling us more stories, and we had to tell them, but there’s only so much you can do in this forum and in this way.”
About time they pulled this filthy slander off the air. It was driving my Thetans crazy!!
And Tom Cruise was calling me damn near every day to whine about it!
