EPISODE 5 STARTS NOW]

[Screen: The Church of Scientology challenges the credibility of the contributors appearing in this program, and their statements.
As of the airing of this episode, the Church has not agreed to participate.
The Church disputes many of the statements made by Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.
…The fact that your program is a profit-making venture should be repeatedly disclosed by Remini and Rinder…
…Your two “hosts,” Leah Remini and Mike Rinder, were excommunicated from the Scientology religion…
…We do not doubt that Mike Rinder and Leah Remini failed to achieve the spiritual gains available through auditing. Their own dishonesty and unethical lifestyles would have necessarily blocked any possibility of spiritual gains… (Church of Scientology letter 09/01/2017)]
