[Screen: SINCE THE PREMIERE OF LEAH REMINI: SCIENTOLOGY AND THE AFTERMATH

SCIENTOLOGISTS HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THE SHOW]

[Scene: Website: Highlights: Cancel A&E’s Leah Remini Scientology and the Aftermath”

Leah Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath is a type of hate-show made to create violence, with false claims, showing a totally negative side of Scientology. This is total criminal! Ban it!

5 Things Leah Remini and Mary Kahn have in Common

They both have acted irresponsibly with married men

That are OK when someone abruptly leaves their family

“team” of expelled misfits”

spreading hate

treating those they work with like dirt.]

[Screen: BUT SURVIVORS CONTINUE TO COME FORWARD

EPISODE 9 STARTS NOW]

[00:00:20.670]

[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.]

[Screen: 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 9/01/2017)]

[Scene: LAST SEASON ON]

LR: I’m not going to change the church policy. But I’m certainly going to let the world know what this church is doing to families.

[00:00:51.820]
[Scene: Mary Kahn
MARY KAHN
SCIENTOLOGIST FOR 40 YEARS
MK: My name is Mary Kahn. I was a Scientologist for forty years. I never felt like I would ever be declared an evil person. I know that this broke our son’s heart to have to disconnect.]

[00:01:05.540]
[Scene: Aaron Smith-Levin
SCIENTOLOGIST FOR 29 YEARS]
ASL: My name is Aaron Smith-Levin, and I was a Scientologist for about twenty-nine years.
They called Heather in and they say, “You’ve got to divorce your husband, or you’re going to be declared.” You gotta divorce–
LR: Just as a matter of fact.
ASL: You’ve got to divorce your husband or–
LR: –she says?

ASL: “That’s not going to work out for me. We have three kids together.
LR: Okay?
ASL: And within two weeks, my kids have been kicked out of their school and Heather had lost her job.]

[00:01:25.900]
[Scene: Marc Headley
MARC HEADLEY
SCIENTOLOGIST FOR 25 YEARS
MH: My name is Marc Headley and I was a Scientologist for twenty-five years.
I would try to tell people that think “oh I can save Scientology.” It’s not worth saving. Just walk away.]

[00:01:35.170]
[Scene: Claire Headley
CLAIRE HEADLEY
SCIENTOLOGIST FOR 30 YEARS
CH: My name is Claire Headley and I was a Scientologist for thirty years.
I absolutely swore that I would never have an abortion. That next thing I know I have missed a period, so I have to go see the medical officer. And she said, “Well, you’re going to need to get an abortion.”]

LR (in studio): This is like the Aftermath of the Aftermath, because we’ve told stories about people who were in Scientology. The abuse that happened to them in Scientology.

But what, what, what is, is a very, very unique to Scientology is that they don’t stop.

So somebody speaks out against Scientology, about something that happened last year, yesterday or fifteen years ago. They continue to go after our c ontributors. It doesn’t end. It just doesn’t end. It doesn’t end with Scientology.
