Remini has said she left Scientology for the sake of her and husband Anthony Pagan's 11-year-old daughter, Sofia Pagan.

"I'm just guessing that this was a very hard decision, but not hard when it comes to your child, and that's where now we are connected and I understand and admire her strength," Remini told E! News about Holmes. "I'm probably the only person who can understand what she's experienced and a few others."

Cruise has remained mum about Remini's comments on his personal life and Scientology. The church has denied claims she has made about the organization, which also includes John Travolta and Kirstie Alley among its celebrity members.

The actress recently said that at one point during Cruise and Holmes' marriage, she and the actress were "fighting." Holmes had said in a statement last week, "I regret having upset Leah in the past and I wish her only the best in the future."

"I would never want to put Katie in a position where she felt she had to speak to me," Remini told E! News. "Of course, I would speak to her, of course I would embrace her with an open heart."

"All is forgiven, as far as I'm concerned, because again, it's only because we are out that we are able to experience this type of grace towards each other because in my mentality, and the people that I knew, we were very militant about the way we conducted ourselves," the actress said.

Remini had told 20/20 she was reprimanded by a Scientology official for telling Cruise and Holmes to "get a frickin' room" after they engaged in some PDA. Submitting "Knowledge Reports" about fellow church members is common, according to Remini.
