Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is a documentary series aired by A&E in nine episodes commencing November 29, 2016. It is presented by the American actress, producer, author, and comedian Leah Remini. She was a follower of Scientology between 1979, when she joined at the age of nine along with her parents, to 2013, when she left the organization after claiming many Church abuses. She subsequently became an outspoken critic of the Church of Scientology and published a bestselling memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology in 2015.

The series explores the experiences of Remini and other former members of the Church of Scientology.[1] Each episode focuses on a different aspect of Scientology's alleged abuses. The series received generally positive reviews and achieved significant ratings success, recording A&E's best premiere ratings since 2014. It was particularly popular among former members. Unidentified Church operatives responded by creating several websites and videos attacking participants in the series, without denying or even addressing the allegations, as per Scientology's "dead agenting" doctrine. No Scientology official or member agreed to be interviewed for the series, though the decision wasn't theirs to make. All authority in the organization rests with Church leader David Miscavige, who is himself bound by Hubbard's strict rules on how to suppress criticism of Scientology.[2]

The series was renewed for a second season of ten hour-long episodes that started airing in the summer of 2017.[3] The third season started airing in November 2018.

Overview

Leah Remini

Each episode is an hour long and follows Remini as she investigates "shocking stories of abuse, heartbreak and harassment experienced by those who have left the Church and spoken publicly about their experiences".[4] Former members of the Church are interviewed by Remini and describe their experiences in Scientology and how they have continued to be affected after leaving. She also speaks with a number of former high-ranking Church officials who explain the background to the Church's policies and organization, and how this relates to the experiences of ex-members.[4]

In a statement issued by A&E, Remini explained the purpose of her series. She said that she hoped to "shed light on information that makes the world aware of what is really going on and encourages others to speak up so the abuses can be ended forever. I hope that people who have left now feel they have a safe place to go. I hope others who have also experienced abuses will come forward and help us to do something about it."[4]

As part of the pre-broadcast publicity, Remini hosted an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit in which she explained her views on Scientology and discussed the show.[5][6]

Production

The series was developed by Remini following the 2015 publication of her memoir Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology. After several former Scientologists contacted her in the wake of the book's release, she decided to shoot a teaser based on the story of one family and approached a number of producers to obtain backing for production. Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman of The Intellectual Property Corporation took on the project and facilitated talks with A&E. Explaining why he decided to produce the series, Holzman said: "We’re not pro-Scientology or anti-Scientology. We’re just documentarians who take the facts as they come to us and investigate every lead as best we can."[7]

Scientology and the Aftermath was filmed over the summer of 2016. Remini serves as executive producer for her company, No Seriously Productions, with Holzman and Saidman co-producing. Alex Weresow is the series' showrunner and serves as another executive producer.[8][9]

Extra episodes, titled "Ask Me Anything", were added to the series schedule after its broadcast run started and premiered on December 19. The first was filmed over the course of the preceding week in reaction to the ratings success of the opening episode.[10]

Following the ratings success of the first season, a second season was announced by A&E in March 2017. It is slated to consist of ten hour-long episodes which will be broadcast over the summer of 2017. Executive production will again be handled by Remini and her company No Seriously Productions, with Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman of The Intellectual Property Corp also executive producing.[11] Remini said in a statement: "The show is really about standing up for what is right and not letting bullies have their way. I feel it is important for people to know that you can take action to bring about change, both for yourself and for others."[12] According to Remini, since the first season aired numerous people have contacted her and Rinder to tell their own stories of abuse in Scientology.[11] She had not intended to make a second season, let alone a third, but went ahead following what Holzman called a "deluge of people emboldened to come forward" about being abused by Scientology. He said that the team was "sitting on some really damning and actionable material and can't wait to premiere."[13]

A panel of legal, psychological and law-enforcement experts also provided insight into the impact Scientology’s practices have had on its former parishioners and advised how they can seek justice in the future.[56]

Reception

Reviews

The show attracted moderately positive reviews for its first episode. The Hollywood Reporter commented that while it would "stir up some viewer emotions" its format was not very dynamic, with "a lot of sitting around talking, interspersed with footage from fairly innocuous Scientology promotional videos and event interviews."[58] Newsday felt that in the light of previous Scientology exposés such as the book and film Going Clear and Remini's own earlier book, "almost nothing here feels fresh or unexpected."[59] The Los Angeles Times called it "a compelling, if unsophisticated, investigation" of Scientology and described its focus on harmed families "an effective strategy that will likely resonate with many viewers."[60]

CNN saw the show as "a step up in class for A&E" that delivers "a sobering warning to those who might be susceptible to the [Scientology] sales pitch."[61] While acknowledging the repetitive nature of Remini "hearing the same story over and over again", The Huffington Post commented that "under normal circumstances, the same story over eight episodes would make for a tedious and boring show, but "Aftermath" is telling a horror story, and the repetition is powerful."[62] Salon suggested that the show's best asset was "Remini's honest anger and frustration, both of which blaze across the screen in reaction to particularly damning revelations".[63]

By the end of the first season it had attracted critical praise as well as strong viewer numbers.[64] Kimberly Roots of TVLine described it as a "Peak TV Treasure".[65] The Straits Times called it "riveting television" for telling the "remarkable" stories of its interviewees.[66]

The first season received a 9.2/10 rating on IMDb[67] and 75% on Rotten Tomatoes.[68]

In response to the series, many former members have emerged to post new allegations of past abuses on Mike Rinder's and Tony Ortega's blogs, along with claims that Scientology is fundamentally deceptive, although its actions are generally thought to be legal under US law.

Awards

In July 2017, Scientology and the Aftemath was nominated for two Emmy Awards for 'Best Informational Series or Special' and 'Outstanding Sound Editing for a Nonfiction Program (Single or Multi-Camera)'.[69][70] On August 5, 2017, the Television Critics Association awarded the show its TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming.[71]

Scientology reaction

Prior to broadcast, a 530-word Church of Scientology statement was posted online that attacked Remini, alleging (without giving any specifics) that she spreads lies about the Church of Scientology, along with claims that former Scientologists who participate in the show were actually kicked out.[1] These members were indeed expelled, but that only happened after they had already left or escaped, in one case in the trunk of a car.

At no point will Scientology discuss or acknowledge any of the abuses committed against members or opponents. Church websites, and letters to reporters that were purportedly written by Church officials (who in some cases haven't been seen in years, and are suspected to currently reside in The Hole), have attacked the series without addressing any of the many allegations, or even denying them. Denial is only implied by their vociferous criticism of Scientology opponents. The websites contain videos that sometimes viciously condemn the people who were interviewed for the series, but contain little information. Church members who have been asked to disconnect from their departed relatives impugn or slander the former members in highly edited interviews, using what a critic described as a "robotic recitation of a preplanned script".[72] The Church website dedicated to attacking Remini[73] claims that her only goal in producing the series was to make money.[74]

Church lawyers (some of them non-members) sought to force A&E to abandon the planned broadcast of the show. In response, Remini demanded that the Church pay her $1.5 million in damages for past and present reputational, emotional, and economic injuries.[75]

At the start of each segment, statements appear on-screen mentioning the Church's non-specific dispute of the material presented, and its refusal to participate in any way in the series. Excerpts from letters received from the Church, vaguely attacking the credibility of Remini and her interview subjects, are displayed and read aloud as well.

Scientology's official spokespersons (such as they are) have given few on-camera interviews since the effective departure of Tommy Davis in 2011. Their written replies will generally only discuss the failings of anti-Scientologists while ignoring the allegations against Scientology, as per Hubbard's 1955 media policy sometimes called "never defend, always attack".[76] It has been claimed the Church can't produce spokespersons because they are ashamed to answer the questions, or they have been confined to the RPF,[77] however the Church does have lawyers who deny any wrongdoing without discussing Scientology practices, like Karin Pouw and Monique Yingling.[78]

During the second season, a supposed Indian Scientologist started a petition on Change.org demanding that A&E cancel the show, claiming "This is total criminal! Ban it!" Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination (STAND), a church front group controlled by David Miscavige, then sent form letters to Scientologists. The members had to mail these letters to A&E's advertisers, demanding they stop advertising on the show for its "religious hate and bigotry which leads to violence". An unidentified Scientology spokesperson claimed in writing that the show had led to many "violent acts and death threats against the church" but refused to give a single example. An ex-Scientologist also circulated a petition calling on the US government to review the tax status of Scientology in the United States and revoke its tax exemption, which was thought to be unlikely to happen.[79]

Ratings

The first episode of the show was a major ratings success for A&E, attracting 2.1 million viewers. This represented the network's best premiere since Big Smo in 2014, and substantially exceeded the 1.65 million who watched the premiere of HBO's Scientology documentary film Going Clear in March 2015.[80][81] The ratings for the subsequent episodes were lower but held steady at between 1.4 and 1.6 million viewers, increasing again towards the end of the series' run.[15][16][17][18]
