Leah Remini is definitely living up to her new reputation as a troublemaker. The Hollywood actress is holding nothing back while dishing all the dirt about Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology, which she cut ties with back in 2013. Now, the television star is revealing that she knows why Cruise's ex-wife Katie Holmes pulled the plug on their marriage and the real reason why she left the church.

Leah Remini On Scientology: 'I Wanted to Be The One to Say It'

According to Naughty Gossip on Monday, Remini is doing the media rounds to promote her tell-all book, Troublemaker. While Holmes has been none too happy over the fact that Remini is dishing every little piece of dirt that she knows about her marriage to Cruise, the former King of Queens star says she's relieved to see that Holmes is finally happy now that she's distanced herself from the church.

She said, "I'm smiling because it almost makes me want to cry. It makes me emotional because at the time when Katie and this particular crew were writing reports, it caused me a lot of time and pain in my family, being 'reprogrammed.' So, at the time, I was fighting with her. And now I know, really, what she was going through."

What's more, Remini says that Holmes most likely divorced Cruise and left Scientology to protect her daughter, 9-year-old Suri Cruise. It has been widely reported that the young girl has not seen her father in several years now.

"I had no idea she was going through probably a lot more, and looking back now and seeing her and Suri out there in the world, and her being able to be with her daughter and live her life, I'm touched by it because I know now she did what she did leaving because she had to protect her daughter," Remini added.
