Tony Ortega is reporting on his site (www.tonyortega.org) that Leah Remini has done the bravest thing yet: she’s filed a missing persons report with the LAPD on Shelly Miscavige, the estranged wife of Scientology chief David Miscavige. In all the years that Shelly Miscavige has been “away” no other Hollywood celebrity Scientologist has bothered to do anything like this– not Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman, or any of them. Only Remini has had the nerve to demand to know what happened to this woman and why no one has seen her or heard from her in years. Ortega says Remini is also concerned about a woman named Barbara Ruiz, who worked in the Scientology literary office. She’s also disappeared. Is Leah Remini going to bring down Scientology on her own? You don’t mess with a girl from Queens.
PS I’ve confirmed with the LAPD that a report has been filed. No more information is available so far. We’ll keep checking…
