The King of Queens alum, a former lifelong Scientology member, made her exit in 2013 before becoming the face for speaking out against the organization — but she couldn’t say the same for the That ‘70s Show alum.

“I’m no longer practicing Scientology,” Prepon said at the time. “I haven’t practiced Scientology in close to five years...and it’s no longer part of my life.”

“For those of us who were in the public eye and who were speaking on behalf of Scientology, getting people into Scientology, I feel that we have a responsibility to do the work when we find out that none of those things that we were doing was not only helpful, but damaging and very harmful to people's lives,” she said.

“I think people have a responsibility to do their part,” the People Puzzler host continued. “Not everybody feels that they have a responsibility, they feel they should just go on with their lives while some of us take a beating.”

Remini also accused the organization of “coming at us and trying to destroy our lives,” after she became a very vocal critic of Scientology. The actress also has a podcast entitled “Scientology: Fair Game.”
