Leah Remini Defends Filmmaker And Ex-Scientologist Paul Haggis Against ‘Very Suspect’ Allegations; Suggests Church May Be Involved

On Monday, actress and former Scientologist Leah Remini published an open letter in defense of filmmaker Paul Haggis. Remini coauthored the letter with her “Scientology and the Aftermath” partner, former Scientologist Mike Rinder.

For background, a lawsuit was filed on December 15, 2017, in which publicist Haleigh Breest alleges that Haggis raped her in 2013. Three other women spoke with the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, claiming they had also been victims of sexual misconduct at the hands of the filmmaker.
