Leah Remini appeared on Jada’s FB show, Red Table Talk to apologize for claiming that she and husband Will Smith were members of the Church of Scientology.
“I wasn’t even considering that you would be hurt literally, looking back on it, I didn’t even consider Jada and Will,” a tearful Remini said. “And I’m sorry that I didn’t consider you because I didn’t. I was so caught up in that pain and also the pain of others and the effects that it had.”
“It upset me because I didn’t understand why we had to be in your book, because you know, we really didn’t have anything to do with this,” Jada told Remini.
Jada revealed during the episode that even though she attended, she had no interest of becoming an Scientologist.
“I always took the position that I’m here at the Scientology Center to learn what I want to learn, and I have no interest in being a Scientologist,” she said.
Remini was a member of the controversial church until 2013. Since then, she has been on a mission to expose the churches alleged controversial practices. She won an Emmy for her docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
