Tom Cruise Faces Shocking Allegations From New Book
Controversial Princess Diana biographer Andrew Morton is at it again. And this time his subject is Tom Cruise.
After 2 years of research, Morton reveals outrageous claims about the veteran actor involving Scientology, his marriage to Katie Holmes and their 1-and-a-half-year-old daughter Suri.
In the highly anticipated book, Morton alleges Tom is second in command of the Church of Scientology.
"It's just the lowest of the low," Scientology's chief counsel, Elliot Abelson, responded to The New York Post.
In an even more outlandish claim, the book alleges that a small group of members of the Scientology sect Sea Org have theorized that Katie Holmes was impregnated with frozen sperm from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who died in 1986.
Along the same line, Morton used the group's claim to compare Katie's pregnancy to that of the horror flick Rosemary's Baby, in which a woman is impregnated by Satan.
Cruise lawyer Bert Fields told London's Daily Mail that the book is "poorly researched and badly written, and it's not really even about Tom Cruise — it's an attack on Scientology."
Fields said the idea that Hubbard is Suri's father is "sick and bizarre. Just saying this is such a tragedy, especially for Katie."
The biography also goes on to claim that Scientology influenced Tom's 2001 divorce from Nicole Kidman.
"If the church was part of a divorce, I would know, and I would be a part of it," Abelson said. "We're there to keep marriages together."
In response to the damaging allegations Morton claims in his new book, The Church of Scientology is considering legal action.
"I know we could win the lawsuit," Fields said, noting a suit would be filed only after the book's release, which is slated for Jan. 15.
