Leah Remini Did Interviews With All The Women Accusing Scientologist Danny Masterson With Rape
Leah Remini has interviewed all four women that have accused Scientologist and That ’70s show star Danny Masterson of rape and may be planning on airing the footage on her A& E docuseries.
With Masterson’s case having been delayed, Decider.com reports creators of Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath show haven’t decided how best to use the footage.
In a case some insist features “compelling evidence,” the four alleged victims claim they know Masterson from the early 2000s, a time when at least three of them were also active members of the Scientology religion.
The women are said to have informed church leaders of the attack at the time the incidents happened, but nothing was done about it.
Thus far, the District Attorney’ office has not determined if Masterson will be formally charged. Lawmakers met with Remini and Aftermath co-host Mike Rinder soon after they conducted the interviews with women, a move that was thought to be an effort to make certain no evidence in the case was compromised.
Around that same time, representatives for Masterson publicly countered that the women had been manipulated into filing their complaints by Remini.
“We are aware of [Victim A’s] 16-year-old allegations,” representatives said.
“It was only after [Victim A] was in contact with Leah Remini that she made allegations of sexual assault by Mr. Masterson. Based on reading the anti-Scientology blog that posted this story, these false allegations appear to be motivated to boost Leah Remini’s anti-Scientology television series since [Victim A] only came forward after connecting with Leah Remini.”
Remini also recently used her show to allege that Scientology leaders have scammed members out of billions of dollars over the years.
Pop Culture reported the Kevin Can Wait star charged church leaders use all levels of tricks and pressure to get members to often shell out more than they can afford.
Cash-strapped members who might later seek some sort of relieve in the form of a refund are instantly branded suppressive, not to mention the fact the ironclad legal contract they are required to sign almost makes certain all such efforts are doomed to fail.
“Why doesn’t somebody see this and say this is bu******?” Remini said.
In the wake of Aftermath being such an attention-grabber, Remini claims Scientology leaders haven’t ceased with the hardball tactics.
She recently charged church members are now asking advertisers to boycott her Emmy-winning series.
The Wall Street Journal has reported Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAND) members have begun the campaign of emailing advertisers to ask them to pull their support from the A&E network show.
