A short while ago, a lengthy piece in The New Yorker on Scientology, based on the first-hand experience of former member Paul Haggis, came out. The cult has always prompted mixed reactions from the audience but now, the exposure it’s getting is putting a strain on the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
Both Star magazine and the National Enquirer are running stories claiming that the two are having issues at home because of the kind of attention the Church of Scientology is getting and, above all, because of an
ongoing FBI investigation.
Pictures of the two on recent dates show them weary, exhausted and clearly more distant than ever before, choosing to interact more with their daughter Suri than with each other, it is being said.
Star claims the FBI probe will be the last nail in the coffin of the two A-listers’ marriage (story via
here).
“FBI Probe: Tearing Tom & Katie Apart!” screams the headline on the cover of the latest print issue of the weekly, which also comes with a pic of the two stars frowning (for whatever reason) and looking rather unhappy about something.
“A
shocking expose has turned the microscope on Scientology – and its most famous members, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Now the FBI is involved. Will their marriage survive the stress?” Star asks.
It also offers an answer in the negative while trying to pretend like it’s not – by referring to the aforementioned paparazzi shots that have emerged online these past few days.
“With her head in her hands, staring glumly out at the crowded restaurant, Katie Holmes looked like she had a lot on her mind during a Feb. 7 dinner with hubby Tom Cruise,” says Star.
“While he played and chatted with daughter Suri, Katie was left alone with her thoughts – and it didn’t appear that they were happy ones. Indeed, sources say that a blockbuster new Scientology expose has sent Katie reeling and driven a wedge between her and Tom,” the mag further writes.
As anyone who’s ever picked up a celebrity magazine must already know by now, Tom and Katie have been plagued by breakup rumors even before they got married – so it could be that there’s no truth to this one either.
As a side note, Scientology has denied it’s being investigated by the FBI on claims of
human trafficking. In fact, a rep has denied Haggis’ entire story on the things that happen
behind closed doors in all Scientology locations.
