Cruise with Scientology leader David Miscavige in 2004
A new book about Tom Cruise is set to be released by the same author who penned the book Diana: Her True Story. Andrew Morton has written the book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, in which some astonishing claims about Tom Cruise and the hold that Scientology has over every aspect of his life.
Morton claims that Scientology affects every aspect of the actors life. Cruise was first introduced to the teachings in 1986 by his first wife Mimi Rogers. The premise is that all of life’s problems can be solved by a system of one on one counseling called ‘auditing’ which is measured by an ‘E-meter’. Alien spirits inhabit human bodies and must be flushed out. They also practice disconnect, which is cutting oneself off from family and friends who do not follow Scientology
The U.K.’s Daily Mail listed some of the more scandalous allegations that Morton makes in the book:
Morton insinuates that Cruise may be ranked the second most important Scientologist, after their leader David Miscavige.
Cruise’s household staff, including nannies, chefs, gardeners, household staff and security guards, are all Scientologist’s, placed by Miscavige into their positions.
Tom’s daughter with Katie Holmes, Suri, was conceived ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ style, by frozen sperm by non-other then Scientology’s dead founder, L. Ron Hubbard. (This claim seems pretty far fetched)
Scientologist executives broke up the marriage of Nicole Kidman because her father was a psychologist, a science frowned upon by the church. Morton went further to say that Nicole stayed silent on the issue for fear she would lose custody of their adopted children. She was also concerned that the ‘audit’ tape she had to make, regarding her sex life, might get leaked.
Penelope Cruz’s father, Eduardo, feared that his daughter would be drawn into a “cult” while she dated her Vanilla Sky co-star, and “emailed an organization devoted to helping cult members and their families.”
The author also alleges that Tom’s current mission is to recruit David and Victoria Beckham.
Tom’s longtime lawyer Bert Fields called the book a pack of lies. He indicated it was poorly researched and badly written. He says it isn’t really even about Tom Cruise, but rather an attack on Scientology. Also alleging that Morton had not spoken to any of Tom’s friends, family members or working partners in the course of writing the book.
While the book isn’t being published in the U.K., readers in the U.S. will have a chance to judge for themselves when it is published Stateside on January 15. Meanwhile Tom’s lawyers are planning to sue the pants off Morton and his publisher in the neighborhood of 100 million dollars.
