The 'Kevin Can Wait' star has sat down with two women accusing the former 'That '70s Show' actor of rape in the finale of her 'Scientology and the Aftermath' docu-series.

AceShowbiz - Leah Remini is seeing the rape charges made against Danny Masterson as justice against Scientology. Shortly after news broke out that the former star of "That '70s Show" was officially charged with forcible rape of three women, the Vanessa Cellucci of "Kevin Can Wait" issued a warning against the controversial organization.

On Wednesday, June 17, the 50-year-old actress turned to Instagram to express her delight. "Finally, victims are being heard when it comes to Scientology! Praise the lord!" she declared in the post that included a link to the news. She went on to warn, "This is just the beginning Scientology, your days of getting away with it is coming to an end!"

Masterson was uncovered to be under investigation for sexual assault by the Los Angeles Police Department back in March 2017. At the time, the LAPD claimed that three women have come forward about alleged assaults done by the actor during the early 2000's. One of the women was said to be his ex-girlfriend.

After a three-year investigation, Los Angeles prosecutors filed three counts of rape by force or fear against Masterson on Tuesday, June 16. The next morning, the Jameson "Rooster" Bennett of "The Ranch" was arrested, but was released a few hours later. He is facing up to 45 years in prison, and is scheduled to be arraigned on September 18.

In the wake of Masterson's arrest, his lawyer Tom Mesereau stated, "We’re confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify." On how the actor and his wife Bijou Phillips reacted to his charging, the attorney said that they were "in complete shock."

Remini got involved with Masterson's case since he is a member of Scientology. The actress, who has been vocal in criticizing the organization since leaving the community, even invited two of his accusers to talk about the actor and their life in the Church in the 2019 finale of her "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath" docu-series.

During the interview, Masterson's ex-girlfriend Chrissie Bixler claimed that the actor admitted to having sex with her when she was unconscious after they went out for drinks in 2001. She then recalled making a report to a Scientology ethics officer about it, but was met with a threat that she could be charged with "suppressive acts and high crimes" if she went to the police.
