mommybee Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 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. That is pretty much my understanding as well from what I've read and seen about Scientology.

tex-mex Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I always thought he treated Nicole Kidman so badly, and now it appears to have happened again. :iagree: I also thought Nicole got the raw end of the deal with child custody. I just read Katie's father is a lawyer and she is asking for full custody. She needs to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumto2 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is there a good link? I googled scientology + IRS--pages and pages of stuff. Then I found out it was rulled a cult in France, and banned in Germany? How does that relate to mind control and contracts? Didn't Katie convert to scientology? Not given charity status in UK either. Can operate but they are a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I thought I read she had a childhood crush on Cruise, that must have worn off. I find him odd. I've wondered how controlling he is. She was in Batman Begins and could have reprised the role in The Dark Knight, but opted not to. I never heard the story behind it, but figured Tommy boy was trying to control her exposure.

Because he was a Scientologist too? Yep. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4804334.stm Ok, it wasn't that specific episode, but a different one about Scientology in general. I always found it ironic that he left considering that South Park makes fun of everything and anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I found it fairly hypocritical that he was ok being part of a show that made fun of everyone but when they turned to his beliefs, he pitched a fit.

Stacia Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 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. Let's hope she regains some of that, for her sake and her daughter's. I wish her the best. 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. :iagree: I'm glad she's getting out & trying to get her dd out too. I think she'll have one heck of a fight, though, because of the reach & power of both TC & all his Scientology buddies/support. I think they wield a lot of influence in certain circles. I've read a bit about Scientology (both from people who have left the 'fold', as well as some basic tenents/docs about the belief system). It has often been debated in the court of public opinion as to whether it is considered a religion or a cult. Also, from what I'm reading (granted, it's all still gossipy speculation & reports), it sounds like she filed in NY because the state of NY is more likely to grant sole custody (vs. CA, which gives joint-custody more often). NY is also likely to make her stick to terms of her pre-nup, which may be ok because she seemingly has some amount of $$ herself. The filing in NY makes me think she really is doing this for her dd (vs. just the $$ angle). I'm Team Katie on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
