Leah Remini celebrates NYU education after ‘spending 35 years in a cult’
Published By admin with Comments 0
Leah Remini celebrated completing her second year at New York University despite being raised with no formal education in the Church of Scientology.
“Two years ago, I had an 8th-grade education thanks to spending 35 years in a cult,” the “King of Queens” alum wrote on Instagram Friday.
“And now, at age 52, I’ve successfully finished my second year at NYU,” she continued. “Undertaking this educational journey has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life.”
Despite contemplating “giving up” at times, Remini is “so glad” that she “decided to dive in.”
“If you have the desire and capacity, please remember that it’s never too late to start again,” she concluded.
Remini said she had an eight-grade education before enrolling in NYU.
Remini announced in May 2021 that she had been accepted into NYU — eight years after she left Scientology.
“This didn’t come easy. This is one of the last chunks of my life that I am taking back for myself from Scientology,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “It took a lot for me to take this step, for fear that I was not smart enough, not worthy enough, not able to do the work that will be required, my age.”
