Tom Cruise Threatens to Sue Andrew Morton

Adjust text size:

Once again Scientologist Church follower mega star Tom Cruise denies with awkward anger allegations about his homosexuality.

The "say nothing about me being gay or I will sue you" policy was previously used in the last decade of 2005 when the animated tv series South Park aired an episode that mocked both Cruise's sexuality and his religious faith.

Now Cruise and his entourage are "disgusted" by scandal biographer Andrew Morton's take on the star's life story.

Morton hired Paul Baressi, former gay porn star, presently involved in private eye investigations, to search Cruise's life.

The 58 year old Baressi settled in L.A left behind a gay porn career that includes more than 25 movies and currently stirs the waters around the future Morton biography by declaring he has provided the author with proof of the star being involved in a gay sexual encounter while shooting Eyes Wide Shut in London.


Cruise will sue Morton and the New York publishing house St Martin's Press if a letter he wrote to Morton is to be published.

Bert Fields, the star's lawyer spoke in the name of his client:

"I wrote a letter to Mr Morton back in November and said he obviously was entitled to write the book but 'make sure you check your facts. If he tries to use my letter to create the impression that Mr Cruise did have a gay affair, we will certainly sue ... because the story is false.
Mr Cruise is not gay."

It's hilarious to see how easy is to brainwash people. Apparently someone has been busy inventing nonsenses about Tom Cruise and throwing them to the press people for years and it's Andrew Mortons turn now - the man just invented a Tom Cruise biography which is to say a lie-ography. The funniest thing of this all is that the media believe the lies and publish them and part of the public fall in the trap too. I wonder who is crazy here... We have seen so many lies published about Tom Cruise in the last couple of years like the placenta story and that Suri didn't exist that I wonder how some people can still believe those crazy stories... What's next? That Katie Holmes is actually the daughter of Snow White? Or that Tom Cruise was made of wood and then became human like Pinocchio? Any media reporting those lies should be ashamed. And the people believing them should seriously worry about their mental health.

I work in a melbourne book store and the amount of interest this new biography has created is unbelievable. I always liked Tom Cruise before he went all wierd. I try not to pay too much attention to the media. As they say you can not always believe everything you hear and read. So then how can I make my assumption that he is wierd? I really am not sure as I say he is wierd without even pondering the facts. Maybe I am just another of the many media brainwashed people in this world. As for wanting to read the biography myself..well I have absolutely no interest at all. That is what I like to tell myself anyway. However should the book store I work in happen to decide to stock this controversial unauthorized biography I too will be probably one of the many gullibal people out there rushing to read the juicy gossip about a man we all 'love to hate' or is it 'hate to love'?

Andrew Morton is just jealous of Tom Cruise. He needs to get a life.
Tom Cruise is a wonderful,successful actor. Scientology is a religion,you idiot Morton. Tom Cruise should defineately sue Andrew Morton for writing this book. Tom Cruise is a wonderful actor and he has a beautiful wife and children. He has earned success from being an actor and being in so many movies. My favorite it "Top Gun". Someone needs to turn the tables on Andrew Morton and write a biography about his life that isn't true. When you write a book,you should write a nice book and get the facts straight before writing a biography on someone's life like Mr. Andrew Morton did to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise should sue the pants off of Mr.Andrew Morton. Oh and Andrew Morton Katie got pregnant the right way. Seems like you need to learn where babies ccome from.

Scientology is an evil cult that has harrased thousands of inocent people. If this book helps to make that fact more widely know, it is a good thing.
