Leah Remini, the actress known for her role in the sitcom King of Queens, has some advice for anyone wanting to play hide-and-seek with her: don't. In her autobiography Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Remini reveals an incident involving Tom Cruise and a game of hide-and-seek at his Los Angeles home. According to Remini, Cruise invited some friends, including Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, to play the childhood game. However, Remini, who was wearing heels at the time, decided not to participate and instead asked her husband to take her place. Apparently, Cruise, who is now almost 60 years old, took it upon himself to run around his massive lawn to hide.

In her book, Remini goes into detail about her interaction with Cruise. She recalls him responding to her refusal by saying, "Well, I guess you're It." Remini describes how she remained stationary while Cruise disappeared into his extensive three-acre property. The actress then turned to her husband and asked him to participate instead, exclaiming, "I'm not trying to play a f—king game of hide-and-seek in five-inch stilettos."

Remini's decision to withdraw from the childlike game sheds light on her experiences within the Church of Scientology, which she eventually left.

Her departure from the organization came after expressing concerns about the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology's founder, David Miscavige. The Church of Scientology has responded to Remini's allegations, claiming that she was expelled rather than quitting. In a statement, the church called Remini "shallow" and "spoiled."

It seems that playing hide-and-seek with Tom Cruise may not be the best idea, particularly if you're wearing heels. Remini's anecdote serves as a glimpse into her tumultuous experiences in both Hollywood and Scientology. Her autobiography provides readers with a deeper understanding of her decision to leave the controversial organization and shed light on the practices within.
