Andrew Morton releases a book that attacks Tom Cruise
Andrew Morton, the author of Diana: A True Story, is releasing a book called Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography which attacks Tom Cruise and his Scientology life style and beliefs.
Morton claims that ever since Cruise's first wife, Mimi Rogers, introduced him to Scientology, that it has taken over his life. The premise of Scientology 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.
David Miscavige is the leader of the so-called religion and has tried to build it back up since its fraud scandel in 1982. He lives 90 miles from Los Angeles on a 500 acre resort, with his most devoted followers. They refer to themselves as Sea Org. The outer perimeter is said to be fortified with protective devices and security cameras.
Morton says that Cruise and Miscavige have become very close over the years and that Miscavige looks to Cruise for help and answers often. Mortan also claims that because of the connection between the two men, Cruise is ranked the second most important Scientologist, behind Miscavige.
Cruise’s household staff, including nannies, chefs, gardeners, household staff and security guards, are all Scientologist’s, placed by Miscavige into their positions. The practice began during his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
The Daily Mail has provided specific allegations from the book.
- Among the claims is that Tom’s daughter Suri Cruise, with Katie Holmes, is the product of a sperm donation by the late founder L. Ron Hubbard. He was a science fiction writer and created Scientology in 1954.
- 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.
- When Cruise was living with Penelope Cruz, her father was concerned that Scientology was a cult and e-mailed an organization that helps cult members families to get their loved ones back.
- Tom’s current mission is to recruit David Beckham and Victoria Beckham.
Cruise’s 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 about Scientology. Apparently Morton has not spoken to any of Tom’s friends, family members or working partners in the course of writing the book.
The book is scheduled for U.S. release on January 15.
