And once again, Hollywood heartthrob of yore Tom Cruise is in news thanks to the controversial religion called Scientology that he follows. Apparently, he is one of the names mentioned in a federal lawsuit filed by ex-Scientologist Peter Letterese in Florida. Letterese’s complaint provides details of harassment by the notoriously thievish organisation that runs Scientology. Referring to the Church of Scientology as a “crime syndicate” in the lawsuit, Letterese demands the dismantling of the organisation under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisation law. For those of you who didn’t know, David Miscavage is the Church head of Scientology with Cruise as his ‘right-hand man’. The two have not left any stone unturned to promote their religion domestically as well as abroad acquiring and spending money in tens of millions of dollars, a huge portion of which is donated by Cruise himself.
A classic case of having to taste one’s own bitter medicine, isn’t it? Scientology made a killing by filing frivolous law suits based on falsehoods. And then there is the controversial past. Don’t we remember how in 2005, Cruise was described as a militant for Scientology by the French who regard Scientology as a cult and business respectively, and even decided to stop dealing with him. And of course, how can we forget the famous spat with Brooke Shields and the medical practitioners on the use of anti-depressants and psychiatry.
