Besides this, Remini has also faced a lot of personal tragedies over the years.
Let’s take a look at just how turbulent the life of this sitcom alum has been.
But be warned: There are no laughs in this story.
When her father died in 2019, Leahshareda photograph of herself and her siblings with her father as kids.
“A funeral came and went and none of us knew anything about it,” she wrote.
“We were not able to say goodbye.
Her evolution from an unknown youngster to a successful actor and ex-Scientologist has been a wild ride.
For Remini, her path to fame and fortune wasn’t a fairytale story.
She toldBuzzFeedin an interview that life got substantially worse when they left New York.
“We were separated from our mother.
We had to sign billion-year contracts we didn’t understand.
And we kept saying, ‘Why are you doing this to us?
Why are we here?'”
Something about the couple struck a chord with audiences and the CBS vehicle became a runaway hit.
Simply put, without him there was no show.
Though Remini understood, it dealt a devastating blow.
“There are no words to describe it,” she told BuzzFeed in her 2014 interview.
I’m still mourning that loss.
I can’t really watch the reruns because I still feel that show in my bones.”
After “King of Queens” ended, Remini found herself with a potentially good deal on her hands.
It was a no-brainer for Remini.
However, the show turned out to be vastly different from what Remini expected.
Even though the situation was less than ideal, Remini says it taught her a lot.
She’s had a lot of backlash for leaving Scientology
Leaving Scientology was important for Leah Remini.
Remini reportedly asked about the whereabouts of Miscavige’s wife Shelly.
The star’s interest ruffled feathers and tensions rose between herself and other members, causing her to exit.
“They didn’t care about doing the right thing.
That showed me everything the Church taught me was a lie.
We are a bunch of crazies, but we love each other ;) R.I.P Stephanie.”
In another twist, the pro-Scientology websiteLeahReminiTheFacts.orgran a report claiming that Stephanie’s mother Donna Fiore spoke to them.
“Leah didn’t come in to see Stephani.
She sent her a frigging blanket and a couple of pictures.”
So I won’t be commenting.
I’ll pray instead."
Alley attacked Remini’s intelligence, and the social media argument ended there.
The actor shares her only child Sofia with her now ex-husband Angelo Pagan.
“I have never cried so much in my life.
“No one viewing those statements could take them literally.”
I hope to feel less isolated and hope that I can make some of you feel the same.”
“We are proud of how we have worked through this together.”
“From our perspective,” they explained, “This marriage was a huge success.”
