Back when Katie Holmes surprised her husband Tom Cruise by filing for divorce, WE told you WHY. Their daughter Suri was about to start school, and Katie wanted her to have a normal education, and NOT go to a Scientology school. Scientologists, like other cults, don’t believe in education – students memorize L Ron Hubbard’s declarations and not much else. Tom denied it early on, but he admitted it was true in his deposition for his lawsuit against In Touch and Life & Style magazines. He disclosed that Katie divorced him to protect her daughter from Scientology and that Suri is not longer a Scientologist. We were right.

This story makes me wonder if there was really any romance involved in the relationship or if it was only a business deal.
Normal couples discuss such situations and come to consensus not divorce over such an issue. I’m very puzzled over why Katie married him and had a child with him.
Was she unaware that this would happen? Did she really hope he wouldn’t want his child to be a $cino? I can only surmise that they both were and are very selfish people.
wow, that was alot to share, why was it necessary for him to admit all this in his case against these magazines?
choose another sect.
…………THIS IS AMERICA!!
She got pregnant when they first started dating, engagement and marriage came afterwards. She was (is?) a good catholic girl and got married.
@CAMICO – NOT THAT HE’S GAY AND THERE WAS A CONTRACT BETWEEN THEM, RITE? WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD….
The marriage may have been a combination of a number of things–Katie didn’t realize the hooks scientology had into Tom, Tom probably minimized his involvement, Katie was pregnant, someone wanted an in for career purposes, someone needed to hide for career purposes, etc.
Bluejay, are you saying Katie was pregnant not by Tom but he stepped up to marry her for his own purpose? Katie is promised a career, Tom gets cover and the child gets a father.
I guess we’ll never know. I still think the child does not look like Tom.
Yeah, and I was right too based on your back-to-back posts on this subject Janet!
I never said TC was the bio father of Suri… nor that the marriage wasn’t one of convenience…
convenience to both parties.
but I do believe a starry eyed young lady got duped. Thank God she had the gumption to run and take her baby with her.
@Noble, apparently you don’t know how the American judicial systems works. If you are plaintiff, the defense will use any and everything to prove its case against you.
Umm, pardon me, but really expensive champagne showed its effect in my last post on this subject. Happy New Year!!!…lol.
I don’t think Katie married him for a career she already had one before him people forget she was in Batman Begins and other movies etc.
Did marrying him raise her profile? Yes but I don’t think that’s why she married him either. If fame and fortune was all she cared about she wouldn’t have left him I mean really you don’t see her or Suri nearly as much as you did when they were married.
I personally think she was pregnant and bio daddy didn’t want the kid. Tom offered to be the father and well the rest is history.
What Tom didn’t realize was that she would actually choose her kid over him.
Tiny Tom has been said to be sterile since way back when he was married to Ann Archer, who introduced him to the cult.
Scientology ruined him. The fallout began with his sanctimonious Matt Lauer interview and has been all downhill since. I actually found him exceptionally likeable up to that point, but not anymore.
Oh dear, don’t put a marriage to the nutcase off on Ann Archer. It was his first marriage to Mimi Rogers who started him on his CO$ path.
And her comments on divorcing him..he refused to have sex with her, “to keep himself pure”…or some insane nonsense. That’s when the gay flag was rasied high for me. CO$ doesn’t remotely require that, and tho she was a lder that him she was a gorgeous and sexy woman. She married again and had a child, same as Nicole, so the gay/sterile rumors are fueled for me.
IMO, he’s one of the biggest slimeballs in the industry, but his popularity continues on amazingly.
Sorry for the type, meant to say Mimi Rogers was OLDER than him.
The tiny one’s real love is David Miscavige, the bigwig of Sci. They hug often and Tommy feels soooo masculine with him. The reason for this is Tommy is an amazing 5 foot 6 and David is 5 foot 4. A marriage made in heaven. lol
You can be a poor servant/bullied/slave or come with money and reach upper class .. there are no regular members..
I think I recall Katie Holmes saying that she used to have a picture of Tom on her bedroom wall and (a la Kate Middletown) vowed to marry him some day.
She did.
Maybe she was just infatuated and naive about it.
Sorry, I meant Mimi Rogers. I guess I get them mixed up. I’ve heard Ann is scientology too.
I share Rick’s opinion on this. And perhaps she was one of those women who think that THEY are the one who will make him change.
