Leah Remini and Jada Pinkett Smith Get Candid About Scientology

Leah Remini and Jada Pinkett Smith are clearing things up. Leah Remini  claimed that the Girls Trip star was a Scientologist, which Pinkett Smith denied, the two are hashing things out on the upcoming Monday episode of Red Table Talk. ET has the exclusive first look at what to expect.

Pinkett Smith had previously confirmed that Leah Remini was a scheduled guest on her Facebook Watch show. “Leah Remini reached out to me and she opened a space for healing between us,” she said. “So I embraced it and we decided to bring it to the table.”‘

“Regardless of what was being presented to you, from me as a friend, you were seeing a side of me that wasn’t 100 percent authentic because my job was to always be a perfect person in front of you, or any celebrity, to solely get you into Scientology, fully indoctrinated, fully on board and deserting any other beliefs,” Remini says in the sneak peek, which you can watch above.

In September, Pinkett Smith set the record straight about her involvement in Scientology after Remini, who’s been outspoken about the controversial religion, claimed she was a member.

In a 2017 interview with the Daily Beast, Remini, who belonged to the Church of Scientology for 35 years before parting from it in 2013, said that Smith was also part of the controversial church.

“I know Jada’s in. I know Jada’s in,” she said of Smith. “She’s been in Scientology a long time,” Remini told The Daily Beast. “I never saw Will [Smith] there, but I saw Jada at the Celebrity Centre. They opened up a Scientology school, and have since closed it. But Jada, I had seen her at the Scientology Celebrity Centre all the time.” Following the release of Remini’s interview with the outlet, Will Smith’s wife quickly shut down Remini’s claims.

“I recently lit Shabbat candles with Rabbi Bentley at Temple Sinai… but I am not Jewish,” she said in a series of tweets. “I have prayed in mosques all over the world… but I am not a Muslim. I have read the Bhagavad Gita… but I am not a Hindu. I have chanted and meditated in some of the most magnificent temples on earth… but I am not a Buddhist.”

“I have studied Dianetics, and appreciate the merits of Study Tech… but I am not a Scientologist,” she concluded. “I practice human kindness, and I believe that we each have the right to determine what we are and what we are not. NO ONE ELSE can hold that power.”
