CRUISE CONTROL
Actress and Scientology critic Leah Remini blasts Tom Cruise’s mysterious ‘plan’ for daughter Suri
LEAH Remini believes Tom Cruise is waiting until his 14-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, is old enough so he can instill her into “Scientology and away from her mother.”
In an interview with the , Remini said scientologists consider Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes, as a “suppressive person, which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes that he can’t be connected to Suri.”

“I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother,’ Remini added.
Remini admitted to the outlet about being surprised when Holmes abruptly left Cruise in 2012.
“I knew Katie when she was in (Scientology) and she seemed very indoctrinated into Tom’s world,” she said.
“But as time went on, and I understood why she did what she did to protect her daughter… I’m only assuming that there’s some type of agreement to protect her daughter.”

Remini, a former member of the Church and now a very vocal critic of it, added that she is “really pround” of Holmes “for getting her daughter out of something that would have been potentially very toxic and dangerous for not only Suri but for their relationship.”
Cruise's team did not immediately respond to The Sun's request for comment.
Remini was raised as a Scientologist from the age of nine after her mother joined the organization.
She left the group in 2013 after questioning the managing style of the church’s leader, David Miscavige.
In 2015, Remini published a memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology.
She also had a documentary series on A&E, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, which delved into former Scientologists’ experiences since leaving the group.
After learning that the show’s 2019 series finale would focus on allegations that church policies ban members from reporting accusations of sexual and physical violence to authorities, a rep for the Church of Scientology reached out to The Post.

“Leah Remini has blood on her hands. Her show’s lies, distortions and exhortations to hate and bigotry generated assassination threats against the leader of the Scientology religion,” the rep claimed.
“Physical attacks on churches, and the murder of a Scientology religious workers whose throat was slashed by a madman egged on by Remini’s horrendous distortions.”
In July, Remini and another former Scientologist, Mike Rinder, launched a podcast, Scientology: Fair Game, as a way to continue the conversation about the group.

Remini said she has her house checked for bugs and takes precautions, explaining that she refuses to bow down to the pressure.
“At the end of the day, I can’t live my life in fear of doing the right thing because I’m fearful that something is going to happen to me,” she told the outlet.
“I mean, I have a daughter, that’s where really my concern is. I don’t want my daughter to ever get caught up in this.”
