"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.
What about Mel Gibson again?
The very deep emptiness Tom experiences starts at his right ear and proceeds inevitably through his skull to his left ear…
I don't think Tom feels a deep emptiness in his ass most Saturday nights
Dr. Drew's explanation for Cruise's wackiness actually makes sense to me. Then again, I believe everything I hear from board certified TV hosts and meth lab cooks.
Yeah, Doctor Drew is a complete idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. Because psychology is a bullshit science and Tom Cruise knows more about everything in the whole wide world because he's elevated, or thetanless…or some bullshit.
Give me a fucking break. The Scientologists just don't want their messiah having any sort of weakness or humanity left.
Tom doesn't need to listen to some TV doctor, Tom can play a doctor as well. What? He's a real doctor? Nevermind.
They just used the word scientology because it wasn't taken. I don't think their ology has anything actually to do with science.
I worked with one once (a scientologist), very passive aggressive, but then, we did have a mean boss. But she was the same at home too. It was easy to see thru the makeup to the forehead tattoo, that said 'doormat and loving it'.
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."
Except, of course, Goebbels died in 1945 and there was no such thing as Scientology then.
And I don't recall the Nazis calling people "mentally ill."
Other than that, good analogy!
Tom was bullies a lot as a kid. Gay people are bullies a lot. Black people eat a lot of KFC. i am seeing a connection.
Playing the Nazi card is a clear indicator that you have a really strong argument.
Tom Cruise went to St. Xavier High School here in Louisville, KY for a year(78-79 I think). He had been dumped at his grandmother's house. My best friend, a child of privilege, went to school with him. Tom was shy and kept to himself but soon warmed up to the all-male enviroment.
I have a hard time taking anything that a Doctor who goes by his first name says seriously. Scientologists should do the same thing. Ooops, forgot…they are crazy. - Dr Earl
True story: Before he was a star, Tom Cruise was mployed as a garden gnome to scare away birds, insects, and Mexicans.
Doctor Who?
j/k, anyway, if he isn't really a Nazi, then I have lost all respect for him.
Tom Cruise is my friend. We hang out all the time. Last night when we were hanging out we contacted L.Ron Hubbard. It was a great time. We mostly hung out on his spaceship.
You leave us alone Dr.Drew or we'll do some crop circles on your ass. I know people!!
Thank you scientology. I now have that kind of posse. We roll alien deep yo.
If either of them had a co&ck then I would say this is a co&ck fight but I think it's more of a cat fight
I think I have to defend Tom Cruise in this instance and point out to Dr. Drew that there is an alternative diagnosis.
Some megalomaniacal control freak types also like to join cults, run them, and exercise their power over the poor unfortunates
Megalomania (from the Greek word μεγαλομανία) is a historical term for behavior characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, genius, or omnipotence - often generally termed as delusions of grandeur.
When I finally get my cult up and running….it will require nudity on the part of all females.
The difference between me and Tom?
I am not deluded……AND I hardly ever take cock up the ass……(maybe just on Wednesdays (ouch)).
thedudeabides using an avatar resembly me is not cool…just like Tom Cruise.
I have a futon made of snakes, and it's actually quite comfortable.
Maybe the attorney got Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew confused… the do both have doctor as a first name and four letters in their last.
