Scientology Wins Partial Victory in Leah Remini Lawsuit

A Los Angeles judge has ruled in favor of Scientology on First Amendment grounds, but allows Remini's harassment claims to proceed.

Scientology successfully struck significant portions of Leah Remini's lawsuit on First Amendment grounds, but harassment claims remain.
Judge Randolph Hammock's ruling highlights the public interest in the dispute between Remini and Scientology, emphasizing free speech.
Remini alleges a decade of stalking, intimidation, and online attacks by Scientology since leaving the church in 2013.
The court rejected Scientology's motion to dismiss claims of surveillance and harassment of Remini and her podcast's production team.
The trial is set for October 2025, with a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for September to address alleged surveillance.
