Former King Of Queens star Leah joined the Church with her mother in the 1970s after relocating to Los Angeles from Brooklyn to pursue her acting dream.
Leah reportedly called time on her association following years of interrogation for questioning the whereabouts of leader David Miscavige’s wife, Shelly, who hasn’t been seen since 2007.
In a statement released to People magazine on July 11, the 43-year-old thanked the public for supporting her decision to cut ties with the controversial church.
‘I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and from fans around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support.’
Meanwhile, deep in conversation on her phone as she made her way to the Mustard Seed Cafe in Los Feliz on July 13, Kirstie wasn’t able to muster a smile as she seemingly had the weight of the world on her shoulders.
