Tom Cruise Gets a Bad Rap

Tom Cruise Gets a Bad Rap

Tom Cruise gets a lot of media attention because he is a fabulous actor. He is criticized for his religious beliefs, which is wrong in our country. Religion is a right of every American. You may not like it, but it is our right.
Tom has been reported to be a very hard worker, a wonderful father, a mentor, willing to help his cast members, kind, honest & loving. Does that sound like someone to be criticized? I think not. It sounds like the type of person every mother aspires their child to be.
It is reported that he controls Katie Holmes, his beautiful wife. This woman has a smile on her face all the time, as does his daughter Suri. They do not look like they are controlled by anyone.
The Scientology beliefs are his right. I wish people would just give it a rest. I am not a Scientologist, but would never tell anyone what they should or should not believe. We don't need to start another war. Enough already.

Yes, it is his right, but...

I completely agree--it is his right to be a Scientologist. But, he is not practicing his beliefs in private--he makes public statements about it which negate his right to be private about it. Even the courts recognize the difference between a private person and a public person and Tom Cruise ceased to be a private person years ago. _______________________________________________________ "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."--George Orwell I'm getting paid to write.

Cruise gave himself a bad rap...

by jumping on Oprah's couch and generally acting odd by expressing his love for Katie Holmes. And then by insulting *other* people's beliefs, etc. He called Matt Lauer "glib" because Lauer didn't agree with Cruise's dismissal of psychiatry. Cruise also put down Brooke Shields because she took antidepressants to deal with post-partum depression. Cruise is certainly entitled to his beliefs, but it is his ridiculing the beliefs of *others* that has gotten him into hot water. Lately he seems to be sticking to acting, which should help his reputation.
