Leah Remini Exposes Harassment and Corruption in the Church of Scientology
"Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath" is a docu-series that has tackled controversial topics of the infamous Church of Scientology. Together with a former executive of the Church of Scientology International and the Sea Organization Mike Rinder, the "Kings of Queens " actress Remini has exposed two new issues of Scientology, including accounts of sexual abuse and an explanation on how the organization earns its money.
According to reports, Saina Kamula is one of the victims of harassment in Scientology. She recounted her attendance in the Scientology-run Apollo Training Academy, where she had trouble making friends. A teacher took pity on her and placed under his care.
However, Kamula, who was 8-years-old at that time did not expect that his care would also result to inappropriate touches. Kamula told her mother about what happened but was simply ignored. Desperate for help, she turned to another teacher, who accused her of "nattering," which is a Scientology term that refers to negative chatter.

Meanwhile, Remini and Rinder also revealed how the Church of Scientology is generating income. In contrast to how the Roman Catholic Church would ask for donations, the organization would determine a fixed price that members had to pay. These prices were dependent on their spiritual goals.
If a member decides to retract their goals and demand for a refund, the person is reduced to a persona non grata in the eyes of the church, which means that they are seen as oppressive.
