She's tired of feeling spied on. One thing that was telling early in their relationship was that *everyone* around her was replaced with Tom-approved people.

FaithManor Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I laughed a lot during the movie "Knight and Day". But, the reality is that I don't think he was acting...it was just a normal day for him, stalking a woman, telling bizarre stories, and acting creepy with charm. All in a day's work! Poor child. That's always what I think about...just how screwed up some of these celebrity kids are going to be. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Katie always seemed, pre-Tom, like a happy girl next door type, who was about as normal as anyone could be in that industry.

melissad2 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 He is super full of himself isn't he? I think maybe she was so infatuated with the fact that "Tom Cruise likes me" that she forgot who she was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I never heard of Katie Holmes until she started dating Cruise. I thought he was so hot in Risky Business and later in Top Gun. After that, not so much. Once he started showing his true (crazy) self, he was just too creepy to watch. I can't even watch his movies, new or old, because I now have a hard time separating the actor from the character he's portraying. I feel the same way about Mel Gibson, though for different reasons. Both creep me out to the point where I can't stand to watch anything with either of them in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Interesting tidbit: "Katie Holmes" was trending on G+, so I clicked to see what people were saying. Almost to a person, the sentiments were, "Good for her," and "I can't believe it took her so long." Methinks Tom's brand has really taken a hit in the intervening years since Nicole Kidman.

catz Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Maybe she got tired of the crazy. :glare: :lol: This about sums it up.

nmoira Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) How does that relate to mind control and contracts? Didn't Katie convert to scientology?Both Cruise and the Church of Scientology are famously controlling wrt publicity and the latter cautions against the influence of those outside the Church. Holmes was isolated from friends and former staff and surrounded by "approved" personnel; and, for the first couple years of the marriage was rarely seen in public without a handler. Whether she converted or not would be known only to her, though she did take classes. Nicole Kidman took classes too, but didn't become a Scientologist. The child is in a Scientology-friendly school, which might be one reason why Holmes wants sole custody.
