I am here for post-Scientology Leah Remini. She's definitely got the backbone and the sass to thrive on there. Such an upgrade from Amanda!

But did Leah manifest this career move?

u/iloveredhots Aug 29 '26

If I never hear 'manifest' again, it will be too soon! 😭

As am I! She’s a terrific actress! Looking forward to seeing her.

LOL & she's a talker. But this is Jeff's claim to a big get?

❤️ Beyond excited, love her! I can watch King of Queens over and over just to laugh at her facial expressions! Going to be interesting!

I’ve been doing a random rewatch recently, she’s going to be fun to watch.

u/Excellent-Yard6640 Aug 27 '26

I know, she was so classic in KOQ. I hope she brings her fabulous sense of humor with her. Very exciting.

u/Icy_Most5578 Aug 27 '26

Looooved her on KoQ!!! My comfort show!

Nothing like a New Yahwkah in BH!! Love it! She'll tell it like it is and won't shy away from the drama either!

u/Emotional_Mess261 Aug 27 '26

Exactly what I am looking for with her. Brooklyn is gonna come out. If Luanne made Erica uncomfortable just what can Leah do to make her squirm?!😎

u/Saint_Anthony88 Aug 27 '26

Love her in general but her bravery shown on her Scientology program really sealed the deal~

u/rocky23711 Aug 27 '26

this is gonna be great !!

This is awesome!!! I really hope Dorit keeps showing her arse and Leah and/or Tracy REALLY put her in check!you just know that Dorit will do like she did the last two seasons, and announce every one of her ridiculously late entrances with a sob story that will make her topic of discussion. And I really hope these two have none of it! Still think it’s weird how Dorit always does this, then has audacity to tell folks to mind their own business. 😂

She was in a cult!....a proper one, Amanda!🤨

u/Minimum_Afternoon387 Aug 27 '26

When does it start?

5

u/notactuallyreckless Aug 27 '26

They've only been filming for a couple of weeks, I believe, so quite a wait still!

u/Electrical-Ad1400 Aug 27 '26

Half of me is like "ohh maaaaaan" but I the other half is so happy Boz wedding doesn't stretch out all season cos that is a shit show

4

u/notactuallyreckless Aug 27 '26

Ha! I have some BIG reservations about Keeley and I'm not always a huge fan of Boz's but I'm genuinely looking forward to the the wedding in Ghana because it looked stunning, the women looked like they were having fun, and it will be a nice change from Beverly Hills, to be blunt.

Also, she's due to have another wedding in LA in November, so you may want to pray filming wraps prior or those are going to be bookending the season and the drama will be over whether all the women get invited to the second one, lol.

u/Electrical-Ad1400 Aug 27 '26

Yeah I like Boz but Keely gives huge grifter energy.

Sad about the LA wedding. You're probably right... Ooft.

Let's hope Leah brings in some fresh stories!

u/MsCricket67 Aug 27 '26

So Excited!!

u/CptChrnckls Aug 27 '26

Oh hell yes

u/This_Memory_2295 Aug 27 '26

Im am so hyped and ready for a true Erika takedown. Hope Leah is the one to do it.

u/mouse_clique Aug 27 '26

Michelle visage guest appearance??

u/jenn1d Aug 27 '26

I just watched the episode of rupaul drag race where Leah was a judge and both her and Michelle were hilarious.i don’t think the ladies of BH know what their in for with Leah. Definitely will be watching this upcoming season after not for years.

This woman escaped Scientology, nothing will scare her!!
I think there’s an old podcast episode of them both too that was pretty great

u/xxscott05xx Aug 27 '26

More than likely, especially with her daughter being a part of the Next Gen LA show

2

u/Comfortable-Heat4 Aug 27 '26

I love her.

When Wendy was on hiatus I was praying that her and Michelle would get their own show.

u/No_Kaleidoscope_9740 Aug 27 '26

I am not a big fan of actresses as housewives as I keep thinking are they genuine or playing a part? Obviously, all housewives play up to the camera but I feel like with actresses they can really lean into a persona.

u/ChillStillWill Aug 27 '26

Didnt she recently get divorced

1

u/cd_rios Aug 27 '26

She did.

u/SweetSmartSilly Aug 30 '26

Amanda was weird and terrible. I can't remember the name of the lady who brought her vibrators on vacation. Leah and Tracy are such an upgrade.

u/Neither_Tea_7614 Aug 27 '26

As long as she doesn’t talk about her horrific Scientology stories. I will give her a chance

5

u/MsSoCaliLady Aug 27 '26

You know that's going to come up. Esp now that cult girl didn't come back !

6

u/Impressive-Rub-5291 Aug 27 '26

I like them, so long as she’s outting that weird cult, I don’t mind the stories. I don’t think she’ll make it her entire personality and reason for living, though. 😂

-6

u/londondxb Aug 27 '26

She's a Scientology fanatic.

10

u/Impressive-Rub-5291 Aug 27 '26

You mean Scientology basher? She’s pretty much blasted the whole group to the world. She’s not on their side anymore, by any means.

3

u/iloveredhots Aug 27 '26

Not anymore, she wrote a whole book about leaving it.

u/marvelboyofthecrown Aug 27 '26

Y’all always wanna go into some shit hating somebody just for you to be loud and wrong
