Leah Remini clutches memoir by ex-Scientology member at DWTS rehearsal where she's embraced by Sharon Osbourne
|
Just a couple of months ago actress Leah Remini turned her back on Scientology which she had been involved in since her childhood.
And the actress has certainly not had a discreet or silent departure from the controversial religion speaking publicly about her painful estrangement from the Church and former friends and church members.
On Friday in Los Angeles it seemed that the Dancing with the Stars contestant was making another, albeit less vocal, statement about the religion which has many famous followers.
Serious reading material: Actress Leah Rimini arrives for at the studio for Dancing with the Stars rehearsal clutching a book exposing Scientology
Expose: Given her recent departure from the Church of Scientology Leah may be able to find comfort and inspiration from the memoir from a former Scientologist and Sea Org member
The 43-year-old was spotted arriving for rehearsals for the 2013 series of Dancing with the Stars carrying a copy of a memoir by an ex Scientology member.
The actress was not shy about hiding the book Blown for Good by former Scientologist and Sea Org member Marc Headley.
Leah's reading material of choice may have reflected her desire to research what other ex-members of the Church had to say in their memoirs given that she is planning a tell-all book of her own.
Support: Leah was embraced by Sharon Osbourne at the studios
Challenging times: The actress has spoken publicly of the difficulties she has experienced since leaving the high profile Church
But given she is one of the cast of the 2013 series of Dancing with the Stars her expose on the organisation run by David Miscavige may take some time to come out.
Along with the rest of her fellow contestants the mother of one has her hands full at the moment with gruelling rehearsals in preparation for the show.
The former Scientologist was dressed down on Friday as she arrived at the studio in Los Angeles wearing aquamarine sweatpants which she paired with a matching T-shirt with white stars and a white hooded zip-up top.

The petite star teamed her low-key outfit with a pair of silver wedge heeled trainers and a pair of cat-eyed sunglasses to shield her eyes from the blazing Californian sunshine.
It looked as though Leah had a gruelling rehearsal session with partner Tony Dovaloni as she posted a picture of herself on Instagram later in the day looking pretty but tired and leaning on her dance partner's back.
Dancing on the Stars is due to commence on ABC on Monday 16th September at 8pm.

Tom Cruise is reportedly ready for love as he enlists the assistance of the Church of Scientology in searching for his next wife. The 51-year-old actor seeks a highly-intellectual woman in her 30s. The woman similarly needs to be involved in the entertainment industry in order for her to understand the demands that come with being Tom Cruise's girlfriend.
Most importantly, she has to be a member of the highly controversial church for at least 5 years. While Cruise met a young lady at a recent gala event sponsored by the Scientology Celebrity Centre International in Los Angeles, his reps claimed that nothing serious took place: "Tom seem impressed, but he's keen to see who else might be out there."
The 'Top Gun' actor was recently married to 34-year-old actress Katie Holmes. The marriage had to end because Holmes feared that her then-husband would enlist their daughter, Suri, to an elite yet intense Scientology boot camp.
Before Holmes, the actor had a decade-long marriage with actress Nicole Kidman which ended in 2001. His first marriage was with another actress Mimi Rogers who introduced him to Scientology.
For German actor Sky Du Mont, it would be difficult for Cruise to find the perfect wife because of his heavy involvement with the church. Du Mont became friends with the 'Vanilla Sky' actor during the filming of 'Eyes Wide Shut'. He co-starred with Cruise and his former wife Kidman in the said film. Their closeness wasn't imaginary for they even went on a ski vacation together.
In a German television program, Du Mont hinted that he could no longer recognize the Cruise that he knew: "He has really changed through this Scientology, which I think is a real shame. He was a great guy. I was really good friends with him."
He also recalled how Cruise disregarded him at the Bambi Awards in Berlin: "I ran into him again. Said hi to him and he simply looked right through me. He never even acknowledged me. He's really changed through this Scientology."
He ended his talk by praising Cruise's former wives for choosing to leave the actor than to enter the church.
