Remini reportedly argues she has faced numerous attacks on her character since her decision to leave Scientology, including accusations she abused her daughter and that she incited the murder of a member of the religion in Australia.
The actress claims she also missed out on producing an iHeartRadio podcast about Scientology after the church released an article calling the production “outrageous bigotry,” which ultimately led advertisers to pull out of the show, reports Law360.
Remini argues she also has now lost out on hosting a show on the Game Show Network called “People Puzzler” due to Scientologists allegedly sending letters to the network compelling it and advertisers to not allow her to host it.
In another case involving Scientology, a group of four women filed a lawsuit against the church and That ‘70s Show actor Danny Masterson in January 2020 over claims Masterson sexually assaulted them and then harassed and stalked them after they went to the authorities.
