Organizers of Hollywood's biggest night are white-knuckled as they brace for more unscripted moments that could anger television viewers or throw the finely calibrated global telecast off schedule.

In Quebec, it's "American Scam." In Spain, it's the "Great American Scam." And in Turkey, it's merely known as "Trickster."

In the summer of 2013, the world was abuzz with news that "King of Queens" actress Leah Remini was leaving the Church of Scientology. The more the public wanted to know about the mysterious, celebrity-patronized religion, the further Remini wanted to distance herself from the church, of which she was a member of for over 30 years.

In a candid interview with Buzzfeed, Remini, 43, reveals what growing up a Scientologist was like -- her mother joined the church before Remini's 10th birthday -- and what eventually drove her away.
