DR. DREW IS NOT A NAZI

"Loveline" and "Celebrity Rehab" host Dr. Drew has an interview in next months Playboy magazine, and in it he makes a casual reference to Tom Crusie.  Drew said…

"A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."

And since Tom Cruise will attack anyone who speaks out, his attorney Bert Fields had a comment for Page Six:

"This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels."

Keep in mind two things: 1) Dr. Drew is not a “television performer.”  He’s a board-certified internist and addiction medicine specialist who teaches at USC.   2)  Tom Cruise has admitted on several occasions that he suffered abuse as a child from his father, whom his mother left when he was 12.  Cruise attended 11 different schools as kid, all across the US and Canada, and says he was frequently a victim of bullying.  In other words, Drew was 100 percent right, but whatever.  You can bet Scientology isn’t done.  They’ll sue him, and Playboy, then they’ll get some voodoo woman to sneak up behind Drew and blow some powder in his face and he’ll wake up 4 days later covered in warts and thinking his furniture is made of snakes.
