AceShowbiz - Leah Remini shares more shocking details about Tom Cruise and Scientology in her new book "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology". The former star of "The King of Queens" claims the actor and Katie Holmes once abandoned crying baby Suri during a star-studded dinner. In the Scientology tell-all, Leah says that Suri, who was seven months old, was left crying on the bathroom floor during the dinner party before Tom and Katie's 2006 wedding.
After a few minutes, she checked on the baby and saw Tom's sister, his assistant and another woman staring at the infant as though she was "L Ron Hubbard incarnate," a rebirth of the church's founder. Leah writes she finally convinced the women to pick up crying Suri and give her a bottle of milk.
In the same book which will be released on November 3, Leah claims the relationship of Tom's adopted children and their mother Nicole Kidman wasn't good. She recalls sharing a ride to the airport with Bella and Connor after Tom and Katie's wedding. When she asked them if they had seen their mother recently, Bella allegedly replied, "Not if I have a choice. Our mom is a f***ing SP."
SP is an acronym for Suppressive Person, someone who is considered an enemy by the church.
Also in the book, Leah says the church was trying to recruit her best friend Jennifer Lopez and then husband Marc Anthony and she was asked to bring them to Tom and Katie's wedding. "The Church was really the one who invited them. On Tom's behalf," so Leah says as quoted by the New York Daily News.
The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant goes on detailing several incidents that upset her at the wedding. Comparing the reception to a high school dance, she recalls Norman Starkey was "humping Brooke Shields on the dance floor" and Scientology's leader David Miscavige, who's married to Shelly Miscavige, was treating his assistant like they were on a date.
Leah says that after the incidents, she realized where the problem of the church was. "I now see where the cracks are in our Church, and it's David Miscavige. It's Tom Cruise," she wrote in a knowledge report at the time, "They are bringing Scientology down." Leah says she was punished by members of the church after making the claim.
Leah also opened up about leaving Scientology in a "20/20" interview which aired on Friday, October 30. Katie Holmes, who was rumored to appear on the special, denied the reports of her appearance but apologized to Leah for "having upset Leah in the past, and wish her only the best in the future."
