Scientology leader David Miscavige also is a defendant.
The church issued a statement Thursday in response to Remini's suit.
The church is "not intimidated by Remini's latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech," the statement further read. "If Remini does not believe in free speech, then she should consider emigrating to Russia." "Here, defendants have undertaken a campaign to ruin and destroy the life and livelihood of Leah Remini, a former Scientologist of nearly 40 years, a two-time Emmy-award winning producer, actress and New York Times best-selling author, after she was deemed a suppressive person and declared fair game by Scientology in 2013, when she publicly departed Scientology...," the suit states.
It further alleges that Scientology has elevated the reach of some posts by using its tax-exempt funds to pay social media companies to promote them.
