"Leah Remini Faces Scientology's Legal Bill After Latest Court Setback"

Judge Randolph M. Hammock delivered a mixed ruling in the ongoing legal battle between Leah Remini and the Church of Scientology, finding certain documented attacks against Remini to be protected under the First Amendment and potentially leaving her responsible for the church's legal fees. The judge's decision effectively knocked out a swath of Remini's complaints, and the Church of Scientology's anti-SLAPP motion, if successful, could result in Remini bearing the burden of their substantial legal costs, raising broader questions about the balance between free expression and legal recourse in the face of powerful entities.
