There's a new book written about Tom Cruise and the "hold" that Scientology has over the actor. The author, Andrew Morton is also known for doing a biography about the late Princess Diana. His new book, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography is slated to be a "shocker."
Here are some of the scandalous allegations that Morton writes in his book:
- Tom's daughter with Katie Holmes, Suri, was conceived like Rosemary's Baby, a film "in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil's child." Morton claims that some "fanatical" Scientologists believe that Suri is the result of a sperm donation by Scientology's dead founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
- Morton implies that Scientology executives contributed to the failure of Tom's marriage to Nicole Kidman. He writes that because Nicole's father was a psychologist (a science said to be frowned upon by the religion) and that she had given an interview emphasizing her roots as a Catholic that she would "compromise Tom's commitment to his faith." When the couple split in 2000, Morton claims that Nicole was worried that she might not be able to see the two children the couple had adopted (Isabella and Conor). He also states that she was worried that her Scientology "audit" tapes, which contained details of her sex life, might be leaked if she spoke out.
- The author says that 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."
- Morton says that Tom's current mission is to recruit David and Victoria Beckham. The 45-year-old took Scientology leader David Miscavige to a Real Madrid game in 2004 and when the Beckhams moved to Los Angeles in July last year, he threw them a celebratory party.
Tom's friend and lawyer, Bert Fields said to the Daily Mail: "it's a pack of lies." And that the book is, "poorly researched and badly written, and it's not really even about Tom Cruise - it's an attack on Scientology."
The book isn't being published in the UK, but will be available in the U.S. and published on January 15. Hmm, I smell a possible lawsuit!
