Leah Remini is getting BLASTED by the Church of Scientology for filing a missing person report on behalf of Shelly Miscavige, the since-located wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige.
Early Friday, the Church issued a scathing statement to Gossip Cop about the situation, blaming Remini for sending police on a wild goose chase based on “unfounded” allegations.
“This ill-advised, ludicrous self-promotion and the media inquiries it generated caused an inexcusable distraction for the LAPD in an era when the time and resources of its officers are stretched thin each day,” said the Scientology rep.
The statement continued, “Creating this unnecessary burden for law enforcement was even more irresponsible given the entire episode was nothing more than a publicity stunt for Ms. Remini, cooked up with unemployed, anti-religious zealots who blog on the fringe of the Internet.”
“Sadly, rather than move on with her life and career, Ms. Remini has aligned herself with a handful of untrustworthy, lunatic tabloid sources who obsessively harass the Church to advance their selfish agendas,” concluded the statement.
Last month, Remini left Scientology after decades of membership, later explaining, “No one is going to tell me how I need to think.”
