Tom Cruise might have met his match. Unfortunately. Dr. Drew Pinsky gave in. The Celebrity Rehab counselor and level-headed Loveline doctor recently gave his diagnosis of Tom Cruise in an upcoming Playboy interview. Thank Xenu that someone in the medical profession recently gave their professional opinion of that wacky queen! Katie's going to need all the documentation she can get for the court battle that will take place if she ever escapes her brainwashing drug regimen!
"A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect," Dr. Drew says.
You forgot the closeted homosexuality. That's the shredded cheese on top of this chili! As expected, Cruise's lawyer lashed out at Drew and compared him to a Nazi. For having a medical opinion?
"This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels," says Cruise's high-powered attorney, Bert Fields.
Drew caved. Probably because he knows that Cruise has millions and, even scarier, followers. Some of them high-powered.
"Although Mr. Field's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm," his rep said in a statement.
Tom's not paranoid or anything. I mean, his cars are bombproof, but you never know when someone might throw grenades at his SUV. Right. *cuckoo sound*
