A number of celebrities who defected from the Church of Scientology have praised the new HBO exposé Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, after the film made its cable debut Sunday night.
Oscar-winner Alex Gibney’s explosive new documentary details allegations of widespread physical and mental abuse within the church, including that it conspired to break up prominent adherent Tom Cruise’s marriage to Nicole Kidman, and that it blackmailed John Travolta into remaining a member.
“Thank you to the brave who did something about it,” former Scientologist and King of Queens star Leah Remini tweeted this week. “And to those who didn’t have a voice, you do now.”
