This lady was brainwashed since her childhood and yet she managed to get out of it. One can tell she’s 100% honest. Respect!

It amazes me how Leah was member of that cult from age 9 till age 43, literally her entire life and yet she managed to get out of that circus and with a sane mind

*Do you realize how many death threats she's received? How often she was blacklisted even in acting because of this? To have been born into scientology but realize it was so toxic, that she CHOSE to leave herself no matter what. Most are terrified and say nothing. I don't even know her and I'm so proud of her. Badass woman.*

Leah is the epitome of strength, empathy and integrity. I have so much respect for her. I wasn’t aware that she has a black belt in flirting.

I watched her TV series on scientology. Scientology picked the wrong person to pick a fight with. She's going all out to show the world how horrible scientology is, and it's working.

This episode helped get me out of Mormonism. Thanks Joe and Leah!

Truth tellers who tell the truth even when it makes their lives more difficult but do it for the benefit of others are the real heroes in life.

[AFoxInFlames]

I love this woman, she is an inspiration and pillar of strength to get out of her situation.❤

[thedaniplanet]

I watched this whole damn thing. I'm so mesmerized by how honest that she is about this whole thing. She is truly using her second chance at life for good. I respect Leah so much!

I've never seen Joe look intimidated but her aggressive flirting has my boy shook

I think this speaks for itself, about Scientology.

As a 21 year old, not knowing much about life, searching for a purpose and a meaning and just wanting to belong somewhere. I remember signing up for this scientology movie night where you're being introduced to the concept of scientology. I was, along with 3 other people, the only one in the whole place. I'm embarrassed to say I was impressed right away. I signed up for a class a few days later and the horror started. I remember we had to sit in a room, not talk to anyone, we weren't even allowed to go to the restroom and ask a question. We received a booklet full of very personal questions and were instructed to answer them all by writing it all down. We had to sit for hours to finish the fase. Afterwards we went to the second fase where we had to work in a team (I don't remember much of that). Then, a few weeks passed, and we were moved to another class where we had to sit next to a classmate but where absolutely not allowed to speak to each other. There was a box on each table full with random stuff like a cube, a feather, a button and so on. We had weird instructions and activities we had to do. It was all so weird but interesting at the same time. Suddenly I was told I will be matched to a buddy. Someone who is higher up and he will help me with all things scientology. This guy, he basically stalked me. I remember the day I got hit by reality and realized this is wrong. I was sitting in a cafe with a friend I haven't seen for a long time. It was the same day that marked the anniversary of scientology or something big... And there was this convention I got invited to and I really didn't feel like going. I wanted to be with my friend. So the buddy texts me like where are you? Are you coming? Hoe long will it be till you get here?? Frantically texting me. I replied saying I won't make it. So he calls me, I feel obligated to answer so I do, to which he proceeds to lash out at me and tell me it's not oke for me to miss this and that I should lie to my friend and tell her there's some kind of emergency and leave etc. He was very upset. I understood and I decided there and then, this is actually not for me. The next morning I called in and said I'm not coming anymore, that I'm quitting this scientology thing. They of course tried to convince me to stay, even saying it's just one big misunderstanding and this buddy called me to apologize. But I was not going back. The next couple of weeks that followed me leaving where freaking weird. There would be big black cars following me randomly and standing by my house and I even received hand written letters asking me how I'm doing and that they're worried about me and I should rethink it and to just write back and tell them I'm fine. It was weird. I ignored it and after a while, luckily, they stopped. But this bullshit lasted for at least a couple of weeks. Never join a cult. It's draining.

She was denied an education and had to educate herself. She’s done a wonderful job of standing up against the concept of Scientology and showing people how screwed up it is. God bless her an keep her safe.

I was a production assistant on a sitcom that Leah was on. I never knew she was going through this. I loved working with her. She was so funny, and warm. I loved hanging with her backstage after the show. I tried throwing a party inviting the cast and crew of the sitcom. The producers didn't show, but Leah came to my house. I burnt everything, and the group carried the party at the third street promenade. Leah, I'll cherish the times we had together, and wish you all the best. I'm so glad you are doing well.
Love, Evan.
