People were flabbergasted after watching HBO's explosive Scientology documentary last night
Many viewers tweeted along as they watched, in shock of the bombshells revealed in the film:
Between Miscavige & Durst, @HBO is really killin it on the crazy rich white dude front...#GoingClear

#goingclear is a terrifying look at the fallibility of the human mind. "To find yourself, think for yourself."- Socrates

A couch of people is sitting here in stunned silence #GoingClear (the book is great too) @lawrence_wright @alexgibneyfilm

Anyone else watching this #GoingClear Scientology documentary on HBO? It is fascinating! Wow.
- Abby Huntsman (@HuntsmanAbby) March 30, 2015
I knew #Scientology was a horrible cult, but @HBO's #GoingClear still shocked. Travolta & especially @TomCruise are complicit cowards.

Wow. We watched #GoingClear on @HBO Scientology... man oh man

Trying to reconcile the bold candor that Paul Haggis shows in Going Clear with the fact that he wrote and directed Crash.

Tom Cruise comes off as crazy, but Travolta as just sadly creepy. #GoingClear

If #GoingClear shocked and appalled you, you MUST read Lawrence Wright's book. The documentary just scratched the surface.

Who is furiously navigating Twitter with a bigger knot in their stomach,right this minute: Miscavige, Travolta, or Tom Cruise?#GoingClear
- Randy Durant (@RandallDurant) March 30, 2015
And of course, there were the jokes:
Oddly enough, #GoingClear is the first good John Travolta movie in a while.

More than anything, #GoingClear taught me that I want to self-style myself "Commodore" and wear a captain's hat everydamnwhere I go.

Scientology doc "Going Clear" is on HBO tonite! I bet it's not as good as the Mission: Impossible 5 trailer. #PointCruise
- Mark Ellis (@5150ellis) March 30, 2015
Somewhere right now Tom Cruise and John Travolta are looking for an even bigger closet to never come out of. #GoingClear
- Phil Richardson (@CelticWombat) March 30, 2015
LOTS 2 say. THAT'S why u should come see me live! RT @RyanCBrinson: I'd give ANYTHING 2b at the next #KATHY show after #GoingClear
- Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 30, 2015
But many people were waiting to hear a response from Leah Remini, who loudly left the Church of Scientology after 30 years in 2013.
@Mcmex I will be watching with all of you for the first time. I read the book which was spot on #GoingClear
- Leah Remini (@LeahRemini) March 27, 2015
Thank you to the brave who did something about it. And to those who didn't have a voice, you do now. #GoingClear
- Leah Remini (@LeahRemini) March 30, 2015
She later tweeted links to her posts on Instagram:
