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.’”

“You can’t dance,” teased Handler.

Remini shot back, “Is that not the show? You’re not supposed to know how to dance!”

The two went back and forth in a very entertaining discussion of Remini’s struggles to keep up with other DWTS cast members who have more of a dancing background.

“Compared to them, yeah, I’m going to look like crap,” admitted Remini. “Even though I had good posture, I thought.”
