“We had no idea that he had died a month ago,” says Remini, who also wasn’t invited to his funeral (via toofab)
"I'm angry that the last chapter in our relationship was dictated by Scientology. I hoped for him to acknowledge who he had been and what he had done to us as his children. Regardless of his neglect and abuse, I had hoped to one day have some closure," she explained."Knowing my father, after taking the offer from Scientology to betray me, he wouldn't have thought that he could ever come back from that in our relationship," she continued.
Remini became a member of Scientology at the age of 9 and left the church in 2013. She has been an outspoken critic against the religion ever since, even creating the Emmy-winning A&E series "Scientology and the Aftermath" which ran for three seasons. The church has said in a past statement that Remini "has made anti-religious bigotry her private cottage industry."
