Count actor Leah Remini out of the celebrity-fuelled praise over Tom Cruise s recent explosive rant about COVID-19 protocols.

While many stars have come to Cruises defence over the leaked audio recording of the actor allegedly berating members of the Mission Impossible 7 crew for breaking safety guidelines, Remini believes his outburst was for public relations reasons only.

In a post Wednesday on the anti-Scientology blog The Underground Bunker , Remini, one of the organisations most high-profile defectors and prominent critics, called the tirade a psychotic rant and described Cruise as an abusive person.

Tom does not care about the families of his crew; this is all for publicity, Remini wrote. Tom does not believe in family values. I mean, how anyone is falling for this is just mind-blowing. I would bet that Tom had this rant written for him and had his Scientology assistant record and release it. Hearing a rich actor with enormous power address his crew in this way is a sign of weakness and a deeply troubled person.
