Tom Cruise Blasts Mag Over Suri Accusation

He didn't 'abandon' daughter, complains his lawyer

(Newser) – Tom Cruise is furious over an article in Life & Style magazine claiming he "abandoned Suri," reports TMZ. The lawyer of the newly divorced star dispatched an email railing against the magazine, calling it "a bogus cover headline that Suri has been 'ABANDONED BY HER DAD.'" Bert Fields didn't threaten legal action, apparently, but continued his PR blitz on behalf of Cruise.

"That, as anyone knows who saw their photos together yesterday and today, is a disgusting, vicious lie," he wrote. "He's with Suri right now; and he was with her the day before Life & Style trumpeted their cruelly false accusation." Cruise has dominated the tabloids since his split with Katie Holmes. Last week, Cruise threatened to sue the National Enquirer, while today, speculation surfaced that Scientology officials will select who will become the actor's next love interest.

Suri probably wishes she was abandoned by daddy the freak.

I read somewhere that Suri hasn't seen her Dad in a month. Not to unusual in a divorce, I guess. Cruise should know better than to respond to that kind of bullshit rag's accusations. The part that I find interesting is where they say that Scientology is going to pick his next wife. Three thoughts spring to mind when I think about this rumor. 1. Does Scientology have chicks that are so brainwashed that they'll actually marry who they're told to marry? 2. This divorce makes Cruise a three time loser. Scientology could not do any worse than Cruise does in picking his wives. 3. I don't have enough to keep me occupied if I'm thinking about this kind of shit...
