'RuPaul's Drag Race' judge Michelle Visage is recalling the time her good friend Leah Remini introduced her to Scientology: 'I was like, something doesn't feel right.'
podcast, admitting that the self-help vibe of the classes appealed to her as a single parent seeking to better the lives of her children.
"I was like, 'I can't afford it,' and Leah's mother stepped in to try to make it affordable," Visage continued, adding that part of her extended coursework involved gauging her "tone" on a device called an E-meter, which she said the religion uses to measure the effectiveness of its teachings. The breaking point, for her, occurred when she studied the "tone scale," which "tells you where people are rated in life," Visage added. "Murderers and pedophiles are down at 100 and a deity, a god, is at 0. I started going through the scale, and literally at 90-something was pedophiles, murderers, and homosexuals. So I took the book, and I shut it."
