Leah Remini “exploded” when she learned that “Dancing with the Stars” producers were supposedly “booking Kirstie [Alley] for an in-audience interview shot,” reports the National Enquirer.

The tabloid claims that the duo’s alleged feud over Remini’s departure from Scientology has spilled over into “DWTS.”

According to the magazine, “Raging Remini warned execs she will NOT interact with her mortal enemy/Xenu disciple, especially if she visits backstage — and doesn’t even want her sitting in the audience!”

“Leah feels that if Kirstie’s anywhere on or near the set, she’s there to intimidate her,” explains the Enquirer’s so-called “show insider.”

The tab’s source continues, “After hearing Kirstie was on the booking lineup, [Remini] told producers she refuses to come face to face with her Scientology enemy — and asked them to make sure they’re never on the set at the same time. She doesn’t even want the pressure of knowing Kirstie’s in the audience.”

Not that the Enquirer would EVER get something about the show wrong… but the tabloid is completely off base.

A source close to Remini tells Gossip Cop the story is “false.”

Leah Remini says her biggest adversary on “Dancing with the Stars” is the Church of Scientology.

The actress, who was slammed by the church after she recently left the religion, told her partner Tony Dovolani during rehearsals on Monday’s episode, “The church is looking for me to fail so they can say to their parishioners: ‘See what happens when you leave the church.’”

A spokesperson for the church fired back at Remini on Tuesday, telling “Good Morning America,” “We know this may come as a surprise to someone as self-absorbed as Ms. Remini, but we could care less if she wins or loses on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’”
