“It’s impossible to imagine the last 13 years of my life without Mike Rinder.
He was my anchor, my trusted partner, and my closest confidant.
The thought of moving forward without him feels unbearable.

When I left Scientology, Mike was one of the first people I turned to.
From that moment, he became my lifeline.

“Mike saved my life and the life of my daughter.
He stood by me through battles that felt insurmountable, giving me strength when I had none left.
I owe him a debt I could never repay,” Remini continued in her statement.
I am shattered in ways I never thought possible, overwhelmed by the weight of this loss.
“In his post-Scientology life, Mike was a man transformed.
He worked tirelessly to right the wrongs of his past and beyond.
He owed no one anything,” Remini said.
Mike also became an incredible husband and an attentive, loving father to Jack and his stepson Shane.”
