Leah Remini used her appearance on Today Monday morning to send a very public message to the Church of Scientology.

The actress, who has been speaking out against Scientology since she left the Church three years ago, stated that she plans to continue her crusade against the organization, and hopes that by doing so other 'victims' will gain the strength to also speak out and fight back.

The actress, who first detailed her experiences with Scientology in her 2015 memoir Troublemaker, said that she has a responsibility to these victims because of her fame and status.

'I'm not a big fan of bullies, so it is part of who I am,' said a defiant Remini, who had been a member of the Church for close to 40 years before she made the decision to walk away back in 2013.

'I was a fighter in the Church. This is what they taught me, so I'm going to continue my fight, but I'm on the right side of that fight now. I just want to send the message that I'm not going to sit back and allow it to go on.'

Some of those victims Remini is speaking about will be sharing their stories for the first time in the coming weeks on her new A&E doc-series, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

Taking charge: Actress Leah Remini sat down with Today's Savannah Guthrie to talk about her new A&E docu-series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath

Remini stated during the interview that she feels a responsibility to reveal the inner-workings of the Church, which has long been shrouded in secrecy.

'I was watching what was happening to former members and former high-ranking clergy of the Church, and I was watching what it was doing in response, and I felt I had a responsibility to help out where I could,' explained Remini.

The actress earned the ire of Scientology leader David Miscavige while still a member of the Church when she began to question why his wife Shelley had been missing from major events, including Tom Cruise's over-the-top Italian wedding to third wife Katie Holmes.

That ultimately played a large part in her decision to leave, with Remini going so far as to file a Missing Persons report with the LAPD.

Authorities were able to locate Shelley soon after Remini filed the report.

In the new series, the actress will sit down and speak with ex-Church members who claim they have been the victims of sexual assault and emotional and physical abuse.

'It's for the victims. It's for the people who have spoken out, but it's also for people who just maybe don't have the strength to fight, feel they don't have a voice.'

She added: 'I just want to give people strength and not just with this organization but with any bully. I just hope that that's what the message is.'

The actress explained that because of her high-profile career, she was able to leave and has a lot of support as she continues to speak out, but that's not the case for everyone.

Enemy of the Church: Leah explains that if you speak out, you're labeled an enemy of the Church and there are policies to go after those people

'For me, it pales in comparison to what former high-ranking executives had to deal with and what parishioners had to deal with, just average, everyday Scientologists who dedicated their lives, money and families to this. Now they're suffering for speaking out.'

Savannah questioned Leah about why you can't just leave when you want, to which Leah explained that's the biggest difference with the church.

'If you speak out, you're labeled an enemy to the Church and the Church has policies on how to deal with its enemies and they go after them. It's in their own policies. So they don't know any different, as I did when I was if the Church. So I understand this. I have compassion for it. Because you do become a person who's very hateful and you're very judgmental towards anyone who isn't a Scientologist.'

When questioned about the Church's claims it does not try to separate families or encourage people to disconnect from people in their lives who are not Scientologists, Leah explained: 'They are sly in that they are right about there is no 'policy' of disconnection as it's categorized in the press. Because if you're not in it your whole life you don't actually know the inner workings of their policies. And their policy is very specific about how you deal with someone who has spoken out about the Church of Scientology, and there is no option but to disconnect or you will get kicked out of the church.'

The Church responded to Leah's Today Show interview by issuing a statement denying the accusations, saying in part: 'Leah Remini needs to move on with her life and career and stop blaming the Church and others for her personal and professional setbacks.'

'Leah Remini needs to move on with her life and career and stop blaming the Church and others for her personal and professional setbacks', the Church said in a statement

The Church also accused Leah of intolerance and hatred.

'Most of all, she needs to quit promoting hatred and religious intolerance as a means to line her pockets,' the statement continued.

But the actress told Today, she's not going to get a dime for speaking out against the $3 billion organization and it's not about the money.

She's had doubts: Leah admits speaking out hasn't always been easy to speak out so publicly against the organization

She admits she definitely has doubts about being so vocal against a powerful organization, but says she's adamant about what she believes is right.

'Every day I'm like I don't know if I want to do this. It's not an easy thing to do, but I think it is the right thing to do and I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about its victims and I feel it is important message and I feel this is the path that I'm supposed to be on at this point in my life.'
