After Dominion effectively “dethrones” Maverick, Forbes and other outlets predict that Maverick will gross well over $1 billion at the box office. Nonetheless, something much more awful and scary than modern dinosaurs is going to overshadow Cruise’s most recent career triumph: his open membership in the Church of Scientology…
Of course, Leah Remini from King of Queens is a former scientist and outspoken opponent of the group. Since leaving the group in 2013, the actress has been vocal in her condemnation of the Church. She did so mostly because of how David Miscavige’s leadership handled those who wanted to quit. Remini took things into her own hands and submitted the missing person’s case in order to investigate Miscavige’s wife’s mysterious disappearance since 2006.
The two have regularly criticized the actor, the most recent as a consequence of his recent success in the Top Gun film. They publicly promote ex-scientologists such as Claire Headley, who describes herself as a “cult survivor.” Ever since, Remini has acquired popularity for tweeting in favor of Headley’s new claims against Cruise:
“I’d want to express my gratitude to my buddy @claireheadley for her courage.” Despite Scientology’s constant at.tacks, you have persevered in speaking out. And, as Claire points out in her essay below, Tom Cruise is completely aware of everything that happens inside the Scientology group, according to the actress.
“Don’t be fooled by movie star attractiveness.”
Headley’s tweet on Cruise alludes to his “crimes against mankind,” stating that he promotes a deadly cult that pulls families apart. Headley claimed that the group forced her to have two abortions before leaving in 2005, with one of them immediately after her. “Thank God they failed,” she wrote. She also questions Cruise’s family’s relationship with Scientology, citing the actor’s ex-girlfriend Katie Holmes and her brave efforts to depart, as well as his apparent lack of compassion for Suri, the actress’s lone biological daughter.
Remini previously said that Holmes and Nicole Kidman, another ex-wife of Cruise, were afraid to come out about their connections with the actor for fear of serious repercussions, such as having Suri taken away from her mother. Headley and her husband reportedly filed a complaint against the Church of Scientology in 2009, accusing the organization of human rights violations, including people trafficking. Their complaint was eventually rejected when judges ruled that the organization was protected by the “ministerial exemption,” a concept of US law that protects religious institutions.
Cruise has been an active and engaged member of the organization since 1990, after being joined by his first wife, Mimi Rogers. Since then, Cruise has risen to the top of the organization, ostensibly becoming the “chosen one” tasked with spreading the gospel. Others believe that the actor used his popularity to attempt to persuade celebrities such as Will Smith, David Beckham, and Steven Spielberg to join Scientology. Recent reports, on the other hand, seem to suggest that Cruise has been “veering” away from the church.
“So, no, I’m not going to see the movie, and I’m not going to encourage or assist this scam artist.” I collaborated with Tom Cruise when I was there, and I can attest that he is informed of the misdoings that the company supports.
