Shocking News: Scientology Makes Tom Cruise Believe Suri Isn’t Technically His Daughter, Allegedly That Due To The Way… See More
Aside from his movie career, Tom Cruise is known for his membership in the Church of Scientology — a controversial institution among many.
In a bombshell interview, a former Scientologist offered some insight into the alleged practices and principles of the church, including an idea that allegedly makes Cruise believe his daughter, Suri Cruise, isn’t technically his.
Founded by author L. Ron Hubbard in the early 50s, Scientology is the belief that humans are spiritual beings who “[live] through countless lifetimes,” per The Guardian. Cruise’s introduction to it came in the ’80s through his first wife, Mimi Rogers, whose father, Phil Spickler, used to be a high-ranking member of the church.
The report goes on to detail Cruise’s involvement in the church and his belief that its teachings helped him overcome dyslexia. “I knew some of the people who kid-gloved him into becoming a member,” former Scientologist Nancy Many told Radar Online.
“Everything was orchestrated and orientated. Tom has a problem reading so they don’t have him doing the course on his own and paired him up one-on-one.”
In an interview with Radar Online, former Scientologist Sam Domingo said that Cruise “likely believes that his daughter, Suri, whom he shares with ex Katie Holmes, is nothing more than just a ‘being’ who he will see again in another lifetime.”
“The church has this idea that children, for example, are just thetans or spirits in the small body,” Domingo continued. “If a kid dies, it doesn’t really matter to them.
You can get pregnant and you can have another one, and that spirit you lost can come back in a new body.”
Domingo added, “I’m sure if he could rescue Suri from the clutches of her mom he [would]. But you know what? He can get her in the next lifetime so it doesn’t really matter. She’s not really his daughter.”
After making similar comments in a past interview with Us Weekly, a spokesperson for the church pushed back on her statements.
“Everything about your inquiry misrepresents the Church of Scientology, its practices, and the lifestyle of its ministry,” the representative said. As far as Cruise himself, it doesn’t appear that he’s ever addressed those claims.
