Leah Remini’s new book about her life in the Church of Scientology is called Troublemaker and she’s truly living up to the title, as it seems to be leaving a lot of people stressed – including Tom Cruise.
A source close to the movie star has revealed to US Weekly that he is “freaking out” over Leah’s explosive tell-all.
So far the former King of Queens actress has dished on the dirt on some of Tom’s bizarre behaviour, including the meltdown that ensued while the devout Scientologist was trying to make cookies.
According to Leah, who was in his kitchen at the time, the actor screamed at his assistants while searching for baking ingredients, even though the pre-packaged cookie dough had been in front of him the whole time.
“He thinks it’s a major betrayal,” the well-placed pal revealed to the magazine about the mum-of-one’s new book.
Leah hasn’t been afraid to share tales from Tom and Katie Holmes’ 2006 wedding either, describing the heavy influence Scientology had over the event.
The actress claimed that the then-newlyweds reported her for inappropriate behaviour at the nuptials, resulting in a lengthy and expensive “reprogramming” session in Florida.
“I regret having upset Leah in the past, and wish her only the best in the future,” Katie expressed in a statement during the lead up to the explosive 20/20 interview.
Despite the 45-year-old dishing out allegation after allegation about the Church and its famous member, the insider says that Tom will not be retaliating.
Leah Remini’s new book Troublemaker is a scathing review of her time in the Church of Scientology.
“Leah is what the church calls a ‘suppressive person,’ so she’s evil in his mind,” says the pal. “He wipes the memory of any SP out of his life. He’s letting the Scientology people discredit her.”
Spokespeople for the Church of Scientology have vehemently denied all of the assertions Leah has made in her book and during interviews.
“Sadly, bitterness and anger are common threads through Ms. Remini’s life,” the organisation said on its website, “Rather than take responsibility for self-inflicted problems, she is quick to blame others.”
