Leah Remini claimed that Anderson Cooper and Conan O’Brien were threatened by the Church of Scientology after airing content about the organization.
“In 2015, Ms. Remini was set to appear on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show to promote Troublemaker,” read court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, August 2, referring to her memoir about her exit from the organization. “Due to Scientology’s history of aggressive litigiousness, the interview was pre-taped so that it could be vetted by CNN’s legal department.”
According to the docs, Cooper, 56, allegedly warned Remini, 53, that their interview “might not air.” Cooper claimed that when he previously aired another series about Scientology, he and his producers faced “attacks” from the Office of Special Affairs (OSA) — which is a department of the church — and his team “might not be willing to face a new storm of harassment.”
In 2010, Cooper aired a five-part series titled Scientology: A History of Violence about the alleged physical abuse being done by the organization’s leader, David Miscavige. Since the series was broadcasted Cooper has not done “another story” about Scientology. Remini alleged that Cooper and his team still receive threats. Following the airing of Cooper’s 2010 series, church leaders denied to CNN that Miscavige abused anyone or encouraged anyone else to assault subordinates.
While Remini’s conversation with Cooper never aired, she did get to make an appearance on O’Brien’s talk show two years later to promote her A&E docuseries.
“When Ms. Remini appeared on the Conan O’Brien show on January 25, 2017 to promote Aftermath, Defendants’ operatives sent Conan O’Brien a personal letter criticizing Ms. Remini and claiming that Remini was only speaking out against

filed a lawsuit Wednesday which reveals extraordinary allegations of a harassment campaign against her and other “survivors.”Remini, 53, who named Cruise’s BFF, Scientology leader David Miscavige, as a defendant in the suit, has former church leaders backing her—and they tell The Post they’re ready to tell their truth about its “regime of abuse.”Remini, who has labeled Hollywood icon Cruise as “essentially second in command” in the church, alleged that she was held at a Scientology facility for 4 months and “psychologically punished” after asking where Miscavige’s wife, Shelly Miscavige, was at Cruise’s 2006 Italian wedding to his ex-wife Katie Holmes.One highly-placed source told The Post: “I think that Leah will call Tom to be a witness.

In a statement released by the Church of Scientology on Thursday, the organization called the suit “ludicrous” and claimed that the allegations were “pure lunacy.”“This lawsuit is ludicrous and the allegations pure lunacy,” the statement read. “Remini spreads hate and falsehoods for a decade and is now offended when people exercise their right to free speech, exposing her for what she is—an anti-free speech bigot.”The message continued: “Remini’s complaints are like an anti-Semite complaining about the Jewish Anti-Defamation League for exposing the anti-Semite’s bigotry and propaganda.”“Remini’s obsession with attacking her former religion, by spreading falsehoods and hate speech, has generated threats of and actual violence against the Church and its members as evidenced by multiple criminal convictions of individuals poisoned by Remini’s propaganda.”In the statement, the Church also claimed that Remini had “antisocial traits” and called her a “horrible person,” adding that the star had “profited handsomely from her fabrications.” “If Remini can no longer get a job, she has nobody to blame but herself,” they wrote.
