Loving all the rumours coming out of Hollywood about Tom Cruise and how he allegedly found love. There seems to be a court case brewing between Tom's church and Vanity Fair magazine... Here is a taster originally published on NME.com
Tom Cruise denies "bride auditions" by Church of ScientologyLawyer dismisses a story claiming
that Scientology leaders held "auditions" to
find Cruise a partner.
Church of Scientology held "auditions" to find
the actor a new partner before he
began dating Katie Holmes.
In an article published by Vanity Fair, it is alleged that Shelly Miscavige,
the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige, led a secret project to
pair up Cruise following his split from Penelope Cruz in 2004.
The article claims that Iranian-born British actress Nazanin Boniadi
made it through a month-long recruitment process, then began
dating Cruise before their relationship soured.
However, Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields has now spoken out against the article,
saying Vanity Fair's story is essentially a rehash of tired old lies previously run
in the supermarket tabloids, quoting the same bogus 'sources'. It's long, boring
and false. In the article, it is also claimed that Boniadi was "punished"
after disclosing her relationship with Cruise to a third party. However, a
spokesperson for the Church of Scientology denied this, telling Vanity Fair:
"The Church does not punish people, especially in [that] manner."
Cruise, 50, is currently single after his five-year marriage to Holmes ended in
divorce in July (2012). He was previously married to Mimi Rogers, who
introduced him to the Church of Scientology, from 1987 to 1990, and to
Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001.
Boniadi is not quoted directly by Vanity Fair, but Oscar-winning screenwriter
and former Scientologist Paul Haggis claims in the article to have heard her
story first-hand. Another former Scientologist told the magazine that he
watched several of Boniadi's alleged audition tapes while working at the
Church's in-house film studio.
