See Tony Ortega’s blog for the story.
Believe me, there are some people who are going to find the title of this book oh so appropriate.
David Miscavige, Tommy Davis and Tom Cruise, take a bow…
PS: I also guarantee, you will be laughing out loud. Leah is VERY funny.

Can’t wait to read Troublemaker. It’s gonna be gooood.
jgg2012 says
Mike, is she even more of a troublemaker than you?
Mike Rinder says
Oh, absolutely. No comparison.
John Locke says
Troublemaker. Perfect. I knew her as a teen and very young adult. She was always her own person and would let you know it. I’m was SO happy when she got out of the cult.

Wayne, all I can say regarding your post is, “YEAH BABY!!!!”
jgg2012 says
You ain’t seen nothing yet.

It looks like Ballantine is pulling out all the stops with heavy media: let’s hope it’s ALL the magazine shows (I believe she’s booked on 20/20 October 30th), huge book tour, and every single grocery store rag available. Huff Post and People have already begun to cover. Brilliant.
Lori says
I just love her! And I’m so glad she is out of the cult and not afraid to speak out and take a stand against it! Go Leah!
Idle Morgue says
The “SP Basic’s” on Scientology just keep growing straight up and vertical.
Hubbard was correct when he said you must deliver a “BLOW” to the enemy as part of the condition formulas.
VWD Leah Remini.
I can’t wait to get that book added to my Library – it has so many now – I have to get special shelves. I make sure anyone who comes into my house sees the Real Basic’s…on Scientology and L Ron Hubbard!
The Oracle says
Every time Miscavige tries to suppress someone from New York it recoils on him like injustice really should. 🙂 Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rufus T. Firefly says
Yeah, go Brooklyn!!! As Bogart said in Casablanca, “There are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.” : )
I Yawnalot says
An early Christmas present, thanks Leah. You are not to be fooled with, that’s for sure.
Miscavige really knows how to win friends and influence people – not!
roger gonnet says
Fine… davey is probably going green!
robert lannon says
I can’t wait to read Leah’s story, normally don’t go for these Hollywood tell alls but this is just beyond the pale. Leah I hope you’re reading these, Thank You for your courage in telling your story.
george says
A bad year for the cult and wait for dm old man book next year
Aquamarine says
This has been quite a month, and now Leah’s book! I’m chomping at the bit. Love the title! Going to Tony’s now to check it out. Whoo hoo1
Robert Almblad says
Exciting and wonderful news…
I can’t thank Leah enough and I will certainly read her book as soon as it comes out…
Marc Headley (@blownforgood) says
New films, new books & countless new lawsuits. It’s a Golden Age of SPs!
Steph in Bow says
It’s GASP !
Chee Chalker says
GASP…..love it!
Then we can also have GASP, Phase II
lola says
The situation with Leah was one of the heaviest problems that finally pushed Wendy Ettricks “over the edge” I hope we’ll get more incite into what exactly happened.
Len Zinberg says
Glad to hear that Wendy is out!
McCarran says
Wendy passed away.
tom provenzano says
Years ago Wendy, Tony Falcaro and his girlfriend came to my house. They asked to come in as they wanted to recover me. I had left the SO and of course scientology. They wanted to know why I blew from Gold. I told them it was a story they did not want to hear. They persisted and I warned them again. They still insisted in knowing what went wrong. So, by the end of my story the girlfriend was close to tears and they all left without a word. I know these folks and had no animosity towards them. They were just doing what they thought was right just as I would have done when I was drinking the cool aide. I hope Wendy is in a better place and that Tony sees the light one day.
Zenater says
great attitude Tom but I am sorry to be brutally honest – Tony Falcaro was a prick back in the NY Org in the 70’s and judging from what I read on the Interweb, he still is
deanblair06 says
I will be buying that book in all of its forms.
McCarran says
+1
Jose Chung says
Bravo Leah !
LDW says
Are there emmy or oscar nominations for audio-books?
Methinks hollywood will be even less supportive of the pope of $cientology after this bombshell. (if that is even possible)
Speaking of troublemakers, Mike, any idea why Steve’s site is down?
Mike Rinder says
YEs, he had some problems with hacking. He is fixing it and it will be back up soon.
LDW says
Thanks
KidKat says
Troublemaker and a true angel. Thanks Leah!
threefeetback says
Dave,
Translation. Troublemaker: persona non grata, enturbulative source (two of your preferred euphemisms).
Good to see that you are clearing your schedule of ribbon yankings. You will be needing a lot more time to focus on external affairs.
Sue Engel says
I want the audio book. Leah herself will read!
Ronn S. says
Yes, grand news. Leah rocks !! This is going to go over like a bowl of unwashed fill rock for breakfast.
Roger Y says
Early Christmas present. Thank you Leah!
McCarran says
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony DePhillips says
Way to go Leah!!!
Gary Jackson Morehead says
Lions and Tigers and Bea…… Oh Fuck it … Leah. Oh My!!! Lions and Tigers and Leah Oh My!!!!
Enjoy this ride Davey boy!!
David Miscavige — The most reclusive “Religious Leader” of all time.
btw…. Bubba has fresh sheets on the bottom bunk for ya!!
Yaaaaay For Leah!!
TreasonousF*** says
I’m convinced that the most valuable people on this Earth, the people who are truly worth a damn…are troublemakers
Mark Marco says
The Buddhists agree with you there,TreasonousF***
How you react to the toughest persons in your life, they say, is a measure of how you are coming along, in terms of conscious evolution. You appear to be a natural.
This is great, and I’m glad to see Leah getting her whole story out. Hope they give her millions for it.
TreasonousF*** says
Thanks a lot Mark and what you said is interesting! I plan to read more about what the Buddhists say about this now that you made me aware of it.
Peter says
You’re absolutely correct. They’re the ones who break rules and make things change in the world. Annoying, perhaps, but priceless.
TreasonousF*** says
Hahaha on the annoying comment…but you’re right that the more “pussyish” people do find us annoying sometimes
Scn911 says
“When buildings get important to us, for God’s sake, some of you born revolutionists, will you please blow up central headquarters.” LRH
TreasonousF*** says
I think he said “natural born revolutionists” but yes +1 on your comment and thanks!
Ellen says
And she reads it herself for audio version. Can’t wait!!
Scott Campbell says
Yaaaay!
Lisa says
I was just reading about it over at Tony’s–exciting news.
