10 Scientology Secrets Revealed in the Leah Remini Interview

7. She’s Concerned about David Miscavige’s Missing Wife

Remini thought it strange that the head of the Church of Scientology, David Miscavige, was at the Cruise wedding, yet his wife Shelly was nowhere to be found. Remini repeatedly asked about Shelly’s whereabouts, both during and after the event, but her questions were evaded and she was reprimanded for making waves. She eventually wrote a “knowledge report” to express grievances about certain church members, mainly Tom Cruise and David Miscavige, but this got her in hot water. Remini was sent away for four months of “reprogramming,” spending 11 hours a day being “audited.” “Basically they were just trying to get me to recant what I said, to apologize for ruining the wedding of the century,’ says Remini. A subsequent altercation with Church officials led to her ultimate break with Scientology. After leaving Scientology, she filed a missing persons report for Shelly Miscavige with the LAPD. She hasn’t been seen in public since 2007, but the Church denies all conspiracy theories surrounding her.
