Leah Remini is in full support of the controversial Scientology documentary Going Clear. The actress, who famously left the religion in 2013, said she thought the film was “brave” and praised the documentary’s director Alex Gibney.

“Thank you to the brave who did something about it. And to those who didn’t have a voice, you do now. #GoingClear,” tweeted Remini on Sunday. The two-hour film aired on HBO after debuting almost three months ago at the Sundance Film Festival. Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief sheds light on some of the secretive religion’s alleged scare tactics, and follows Hollywood director and ex-member Paul Haggis as he recounts times when he was threatened and blackmailed.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Remini made headlines when she left Scientology. During an interview last year, the actress revealed that she departed from the faith because her daughter Sofia was getting close to the age when children begin the religion’s auditing process. Remini also said that she started to reflect on her own childhood, when she was forced to live in a secluded Scientology compound in Florida.

“We were working from morning until night with barely any schooling,” Remini said at the time. “There was no saying no. There was no being tired.” Because of that and other things, Remini said she felt “everything the Church taught me was a lie.” What do you think about Remini supporting Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief?

Hilary Duff celebrated her 12th time being on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Monday by jokingly showing off the comedian’s face tattooed on her thigh. “It’s my biggest one. It’s a big commitment,” says Duff as she flashes her leg for the camera, showing off a giant image of DeGeneres’ face with the number 12 next to it. “I decided to show you a little love,” adds Duff. The tattoo, of course, is fake. Watch the video below.

Earlier in the show, the former Disney star revealed that she has 12 real tattoos scattered across the inside of her arms. “I don’t know if you know this, but I have a lot of tattoos,” teases Duff. “I have a bunch of little guys.” The 27-year-old actress explains that she chose to get her tattoos inked on the inside of her arms so they would be easy to hide.

“I think that part of me loves tattoos, and part of me doesn’t want the full commitment of getting to see them all the time,” says Duff as she shows off a few of her favorite tats, including one with the name “Luca” for her son and another with the word “Brooklyn,” a tribute to the New York borough where she filmed the TVLand show “Younger.” She also has a wishbone, a heart, the words “Stand By Me,” and a two cents tattoo that she got with her best friend. Duff also discusses with DeGeneres a tattoo that reads, “Thick As Thieves,” which she says her sister Haylie Duff has as well. Check out the video below, and tell us what you think.

WATCH: Kim & Khloe Kardashian Worry “Shady” Scott Disick Is Keeping Secrets From Kourtney In New Video

Scott Disick Shady Kim Kardashian

(E!)

Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian are worried Scott Disick may be keeping a few secrets from Kourtney Kardashian. In a new clip from Sunday’s episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kim, Khloe and Kris Jenner are seen discussing Disick’s “shady” behavior and whether he may not be telling Kourtney everything. Watch the video below.

While over at Jenner’s house, Khloe reveals that she found about a dozen different license plates in the back of Disick’s car. Jenner adds that she heard Disick on the phone transferring money from one account to another. All three women agree Disick is being “shady,” and Khloe asks, “Do you think about what else Scott is not telling Kourtney?” In another teaser, Kim and Khloe jokingly try to figure out what Disick does for a living, but they can’t seem to come up with anything. Kourtney, who seems a little annoyed with the conversation, just brushes it off.

In a third teaser, Kris and Bruce Jenner are at her epidural appointment when Kris reveals that she’s removed Bruce’s name as the executor of her living will, replacing him with Kourtney. “The only problem I have with Kourtney is like I’m the only one here [at the appointment], she’s not here,” an annoyed Bruce tells Kris. In the final sneak peek, Bruce tells Kim about Kris naming Kourtney as the executor, and Kim immediately tells her mother she’s made a mistake.

Kim points out that Kourtney is extremely indecisive and adds that she’s “not as smart as I thought she was.” Kris starts to have second thoughts about naming Kourtney as executor, and Kim suggests it should be her who makes the final decisions about their mom’s health if something where to happen. Watch the video below, and tell us what you think.
