Leah Remini has been in the spotlight for quite some time now. The actress soared to fame during her role as Carrie Heffernan on the hit show 'King of Queens'. Remini made millions of people laugh each and every week, and was now an official A-lister.
During her time on television, Leah made numerous friends in the industry, including people like Jennifer Lopez, Chelsea Handler, and Michelle Visage - Remini was loved by many. However, in 2013, Leah made national headlines after leaving the Church of Scientology, burning quite a lot of bridges with her friends still involved with the organization.
Remini is currently starring in her very own A&E show 'Leah Remini: Scientology & The Aftermath'. With her outspoken beliefs regarding the group, she has made quite a lot of enemies. Here are 10 celebrities Leah Remini is close with, and 10 who no longer make the cut.
