Ron Miscavige, David’s dad, added to “60 Minutes Australia” that no one may ever know the whereabouts of his daughter-in-law, Shelly, who allegedly hasn’t been seen in public for years.

“Shelly, she’ll never be free,” Ron Miscavige, who left the church in 2012, told the TV show, according to 9News.

But Remini maintained that she still needed answers about Shelly, stating in 2016: “I do not know that she is alive.

“‘Shelly is fine, and she’s alive.’ … That’s the PR line. I don’t believe that,” she added to “60 Minutes” on Sunday.

The Church of Scientology told Page Six in a statement Sunday: “Ron Miscavige is seeking to make money on the name of his famous son. Any father exploiting his son in this manner is a sad exercise in betrayal.

“Leah Remini has been stalking Mr. and Mrs. Miscavige for years because of her psychotic obsession. It is time for her to stop.”
