Emmy award-winning actress Leah Remini filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and leader David Miscavige on Wednesday, August 2, alleging incidents of stalking, harassment and defamation.
said she endured the church's mandated "training sessions," which involved "verbally, physically and sexually abusive practices," the lawsuit alleges.
"Bull baiting" is one such training session noted in the lawsuit, which allegedly involved "[Remini], a young girl, with an older male Scientologist who is required to find her ‘buttons’ , screamed expletives at her, made sexually suggestive remarks to her, and verbally abused her for hours in an effort to condition her to not react to abuse."
