Earth to Tom: so are you!
Did you catch the article in yesterday's Parade Magazine about Tom Cruise?
Cruise stated that his father was abusive and a bully who put his son down at every opportunity. That Tom had few friends at the 15 schools he attended in 12 years, because bullies would pick on him. That he's dyslexic, etc.
Fast forward a few years. Tom joins Scientology, embraces that "religion's" precepts, and proceeds to bully everyone and anyone who dares not agree. Just last year, he bullied Brooke Shields in the press because she took medication to combat post partum depression (a very real problem). Then, when he's called on it, he bullies Matt Lauer on the Today Show that he (Lauer) didn't know anything about psychiatry, and Cruise did because he "studied" the history of psychiatry (to which I remarked at the time "and what medical school did you get your degree from?"). That Tom believed that anti-depressants were not necessary.
Then he hooks up with a much younger, pretty actress named Katie Holmes, who has a promising career. He claims he's madly in love with her, and she with him (and she's being coached by a Scientology advisor in all her interviews to say the "right" things). Next thing you know, she's embracing Scientology at the expense of her Catholic upbrining, shunning her friends, and turning down a plum film role because it's not keeping with the Scientology way of things.
Oh, yes, and she turns up pregnant (apparently Scientologists don't believe in getting married first). Then there's the proposal at the Eiffel Tower. Then there's all the reports that it's all a sham.
Now Tom is filling Katie's head with this nonsense about a "silent" birth, that it would traumatize the child to hear its mother in pain at birth, or to hear noise as it emerges into this world (so explain the ultrasound machine you bought, Tom) . I defy any woman who is wide awake and aware not to make some kind of noise while giving birth. I screamed and grunted and made all kinds of noise giving birth to 4 children over 10 years, and none of them are "traumatized" from the experience (which they obviously don't remember).
I've seen the "Free Katie" stuff all over the internet. I'm sure as I sit here typing this that Tom bullied a weaker and vulnerable person to bend to his will. Which, IMHO, doesn't make him any better than the father who bullied him as a child. Nicole wouldn't put up Tom's crap (and she certainly didn't "convert" to Scientology to please him), though I'm sure he tried to bully her, too. So, Tom chose a young starlet who would do anything for more exposure, and brainwashed her into doing what he asked, no matter how outrageous it was. Up to and including giving birth without making a sound, and entering into a marriage under dubious circumstances.
And don't expect to see Katie in too many movies after this. Tom will either keep her barefoot and pregnant, or demand to have approval of every script she gets.
Yes, Tom-- you, too, are a bully. The apples don't fall too far from the tree.
Oh, and by the way... this is my opinion. You have the right to agree or not.
And that's all from where I sit.
