Before leaving the Church of Scientology, Leah Remini was in deep trouble after her appearance at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ Rome wedding, an event she later recounted in her memoir “Troublemaker.” Remini claimed she had a deal with the church that she could only come to the wedding if she recruited her A-list friends, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Throughout the party, Scientologists kept trying to separate Remini from Lopez to charm the “Jenny from the Block” singer.
After the wedding, Remini said Holmes had her written up for “disrupting the party” and “being a poor example to others,” per Entertainment Tonight. In a 2017 interview on “The Adam Carolla Show,” Remini revealed why she got reprimanded, saying, “I was seeing behavior from senior executives of the church that was out of line with our policy. Then I started to get accused of being out of line.” Afterwards, she was interrogated over her pot-stirring at the Celebrity Centre.
After she left the church, Holmes released a short statement apologizing to Remini, saying, “I regret having upset Leah in the past and wish her only the best in the future.” Remini accepted, tearfully replying on Good Morning America, “At the time, I was thinking of myself and my family and what we were going through. And although painful, I had no idea she was going through probably a lot more.”
