Leah Remini previously made headlines when she took a shot at Tom Cruise amid the success of “Top Gun: Maverick.” Cruise reprises his role as Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, one of the Navy’s top aviators, training a group of young pilots to accomplish the impossible in a highly covert mission.

While many fans praised her performance in the much-anticipated sequel, Remini remained vocal Twitter about some of Cruise’s past controversies, shared a Facebook post by a woman named Clare Headley.

“Glad all Top Gun fans enjoyed the new movie. Personally, this latest post about the new movie just reminds me of Tom Cruise and his crimes against humanity. Extreme you might think?” asked Headley. “Destroying families is a crime against humanity. My opinion. Ask yourself when was the last time Tom spoke to his only child, Suri? Remember Katie Holmes and her extreme efforts to break free from her control and Scientology?”

Headley accused the “Mission Impossible” actor of trying to promote a “dangerous cult” through the Church of Scientology, saying it destroyed his family and nearly cost him his marriage and his own life. “The same cult that forced me to have two abortions, and that I ran from in 2005 with the clothes on my back and $200 in my pocket, that they tracked me down, across state lines, to try to stop me from escaping. Alhamdulillah they failed,” revealed Headley.

Headley vowed that he would not watch any of Cruise’s movies or “endorse this fraud of a man,” claiming that Cruise was well aware of the alleged abuses committed by the Church of Scientology.

Remini shared a message from Headley, adding, “Thank you to my friend @claireheadley for your bravery. You continue to speak out despite the relentless attacks from Scientology. And as Claire says in her post below, Tom Cruise knows exactly what goes on in Scientology. Don’t let the movie star appeal fool you.”
