Was Tom Cruise 'Whipped' By Wife Nicole Kidman? Plus, The Scorn Of David Miscavige - Page 2
DO: He was disillusioned, wasn't he?
MH: Well, he basically thought it was complete bullshit. He read all the stuff about…
DO: The wall of fire, right??
MH: Yeah, he got to all that Xenu stuff. "Xenu stuff?", and he was like "I'm out of here". And he left. And when he was in Scientology, though, several Scientologists were implanted into his staff network. His assistants and his people, people that helped him run his career. And they were Scientologists. So, when he became upset with Scientology these people stayed with him. And they were the eyes and ears for David Miscavige. On when they were going to be able to get Tom Cruise back into Scientology. So for many years, Tom never came back to the Int Base to do anything. We never heard of him, we never saw him.
DO: Was that when he was married to Nicole?
MH: Absolutely.
DO: So this is during that time?
MH: Totally. And Dave would comment regularly about how how much of an out-ethics person Tom Cruise was. Because he's off with Nicole and he does whatever Nicole wants, and Nicole. Totally. The facts surrounding him getting back into Scientology are very speculative, but from all that I know, the church seized upon the fact that Nicole had gotten pregnant.
And that Tom, up until that point, was not able to have children whatsoever. So her being pregnant was a major faux pas for her and that she had been cheating...So then out of nowhere, Tom Cruise divorces Nicole Kidman, completes OT4 in the same week. And now, out of nowhere, he's the most dedicated Scientologist in the whole world. Just like overnight. He's with Dave all the time. And it was bizarre to people that worked at the Int Base.
Ten years this guy was gone and all of a sudden he just shows up out of nowhere. And now he's just a fanatic. He's claiming that he's been in Scientology for fifteen, twenty, years and you're just like "What the hell, man? Where did that come from?"
Part of the appeal to celeb Scientologists to join the "religion" is the how much the tech focuses on the "individual" and making them the best they can be. Magnifying this mind-set in people already prone to self-absorption and narcissism could only result in what I'd call a "Super-Ego" mentality. Of course, Marc's anecdote below illustrates how this is manifested from the top down at Gold Base, Scientology's brain-center.
