Beautifully spoken. He was a brave soul and I so enjoyed hearing from you both with the Fair Game podcast and reading both of your books. And how you called him Mikey and he called you “Lee Lee”
I am so sorry, Leah. Mike was a true warrior. I am so grateful to both you and Mike working on the Aftermath and Fair Game podcast - you were an amazing team and your strong bond really was evident.
Even in his last days, I always hoped he’d have a miracle up his sleeve. Love to you Leah. You two were a force. Thanks for what you did near the end. I know you don’t want thanks, you want him back, but thanks anyway.
From the moment I heard Mike had passed, I thought of you immediately. We all knew how much you cherished each other. Oh he knew it as well. I am so sorry for the lose of such a beloved friend. His family lost an incredible human being. Your post sums up how you feel about Mike beautifully. Grief does not have a timetable so feel your feelings and take the time you need. Bless you all.
Leah, so very sorry for your huge loss! After reading this article, I can feel your devotion, love, pain & loss of your dear friend Mike R. Praying for comfort & peace to you and his family in saying goodbye!! Losing a loved one is so very difficult! And like Justin Moore says in one of his songs; they left a hole down here!!!!
Thank you ( and Mike) for breaking away from Scientology (cult nation) and bringing the reality of this cult to so many eyes!!!
My deepest condolences to your insurmountable loss, Leah. The chemistry and love between you and Mike was palbable. He adored you so much. I'm sending love to you and to Mike's family during this very difficult time. Fly high, Mikey.
I am so sorry about his passing and the loss that you, his family, and friends are feeling. I will also miss hearing "Hi Mikey!" "Hi LeLe!" Your love for each other was so special and I know that you all will see him again.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It was always apparent how much love you and Mike had for each other. He was amazing and I’m heartbroken he was taken too soon.
I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss and the loss of Mr. Rinder's family. I am a never-in; however, I have been following this community since The Aftermath show. The courage you, Mike, the Headleys, and everyone else who has truly fought for the victims of Scientology is beyond admirable. Mike will be missed by everyone his word have reached. God Speed, Mike.
I actually cried and it surprised me. I hadn’t realized what a difference his courage and example had made in my life. May his family be forever blessed. Till we meet again someday. God bless. ❤️😞❤️
So incredibly sorry. You and Mike were great as you opened our eyes to the travesty that is the Cult of Scientology! I pray for comfort for all who knew and loved Mike. I know how much I love you both for sharing all you did. Keep exposing the nonsense. Mike would want that!
I’m beyond sorry for you and your family, for Mike’s family and for the entire freaking world. Few, few men are capable of change, empathy, truth, self-awareness and atonement. Mike was and will always be heroic.
My deepest condolences to you & Mike's Family. I'm so grateful to you both for your strength and willingness to expose the atrocities of Scientology. May his spirit keep you close to him.
Leah, I know how much this loss hurts you personally and Mike was a tremendous help at his own personal expense. I subscribed to you YouTube channel and kept up with his health, wishes, and all he went through personally with life, health, and his inevitable passing. Please keep up the battle until such time as Scientology is held accountable for the fraud they are. You made a comment on one of your podcasts with Mike saying Scientology owned enough empty buildings to house all the homeless. I think you are on to something huge! With the all the laws in the state of Ca. protecting and feeding the homeless, I believe those laws can be applied to Scientology properties. Once they move into the empty buildings then they would have to house, feed, and support them. We just need to get creative and figure out a way to get them into the properties and then let the Sanctuary City laws take it from there! As a "Church" they would be forced to either turn them away (The media would hate that) and they could lose "Church" status and the tax exemption or go bankrupt housing, feeding, and taking care of the homeless! Just a thought but I think it might work!
Please excuse me while I’m a crying sobbing mess over here. Sending so much love to Leah, Christie, Jack, Shane, Claire, Marc, Amy, Mat and all of Mikes loved ones. I am truly saddened and sorry. Rest in peace Mike.

I share in your deep sadness and grief for this incredible man who I didn't even know and yet I felt like I did. Hugs of comfort to all who loved him.
I feel the same way
