11/09/2017 11:12 PM ET | Filed under: TV News • Wacky, Tacky & True • Tom Cruise • Politik • Donald Trump • Twitter • Leah Remini • Gotta Have Faith

Truly stranger than fiction…

According to a report from the Huffington Post published on Thursday, in May 2017, longtime Donald Trump aide Lynne Patton contacted Leah Remini saying the President believes the Church of Scientology should have its tax exemption revoked.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development official told the actress via Twitter direct message:

"From The moment I saw your series I told President Trump & his family we needed to revoke their tax exempt status. They couldn't agree more, but please don't publicize that yet. I want to do more due diligence on what the IRS has attempted in the past (or maybe you can enlighten me), then I'll identify who we need to connect with again."

kevin can wait ran out of storylines erinn hayes death

What a lazy excuse.

Over the weekend, Kevin James FINALLY got candid about why Erinn Hayes' character on Kevin Can Wait was abruptly killed off. However, the funny man's explanation may make your blood boil.

While chatting with the New York Daily News, James revealed that the decision to replace Hayes with his longtime collaborator, Leah Remini, wasn't because he or anyone else associated with the show had a problem with Erinn. Rather, per the 52-year-old, the role of Donna was eliminated because they were out of storyline ideas.

We're sorry — WHAT?? Kevin explained:

Kevin Can Wait Fans Are Furious Over The 'Savage AF' Way Wife Donna's Death Was Addressed!

9/26/2017 10:53 AM ET | Filed under: TV News • Sad Sad • Twitter • Leah Remini • Kevin James • GIFs

After it was revealed Kevin James' CBS show Kevin Can Wait would be "tastefully" killing off lead actress Erinn Hayes to make room for Leah Remini, fans finally got to see just how it went down on the season two premiere on Monday.

And it turns out Donna Gable's death wasn't as dignified as execs made it sound!

All viewers saw was a short scene with Kevin's on-screen daughter, Kendra (Taylor Spreitler), responding to a postcard in the mail from Donna's gym:

"Give me that, I will call them right now. It's been over a year since she died, they shouldn't still be sending this."

That was basically it. No explanation of how the show's leading lady passed.

So, it's not hard to see why fans of Kevin Can Wait were pissed!! See their frustrated reactions (below):

However, it appears the Girls Trip star has since come for Remini's claims as she took to Twitter late on Monday evening to address the allegations head on.
