Actress Leah Remini, the prominent defector and whistleblower of Scientology, says she will not be able to “heal” of her wounds related to the church’s alleged abuse of her and others until the organization has its tax-exempt status revoked by the U.S. government.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Remini said that the third and final season of her A&E docuseries “Scientology and the Aftermath” will have an explosive ending that she hopes eventually leads to a full-scale government crackdown on the Church of Scientology. The two-hour special will air on August 26 in front of a live studio audience and will “focus on testimonials alleging that Scientology policies have hindered members from reporting instances of sexual assault and physical violence to the authorities.”
