Leah Remini shared inside this week’s issue of PEOPLE that the church of Scientology wanted her to convert longtime King Of Queens co-star Kevin James.
“They always tried to get me to, [asking] ‘Why is he not in? Why have you not promoted it to him?’ I was like, ‘Because he’s Catholic. He doesn’t want anything to do with it,’ ” Remini, 47, says in the publication. “They let it go after a while, but usually you’d be expected to recruit, especially with somebody you work with for nine years.”
After leaving the religion in 2013, Remini shared with People that she’s finally at peace.
“I’m finally at peace knowing who I am and who I want to be,” she says. “I just want to be happy — and I want to help people.”
Leah Remini helps people through her Emmy-nominated A&E docu-series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. Now in its second season, the show follows Remini as she shares fellow ex-Scientologists’s stories, including allegations of abuse within the church.
