Rupert Murdoch Calls Scientology Creepy And Evil After Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Divorce


Everyone seems to have an opinion on the Tom Cruise / Katie Holmes divorce. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch even put his two cents in today calling the church of Scientology “evil” and “creepy.”

Reports of Cruise and Holmes getting a divorce started circulating earlier this week and slowly more details have become available. The latest claim is that Holmes decided to leave Cruise because she could no longer put up with the Church of Scientology.

A source close to Holmes said:

“Katie has never been fully committed to Scientology, even though she has had ties with the church… The couple had been arguing over Suri — that she’s now of the age where Scientology becomes a significant part of her life.”

Scientology has had a pretty negative effect on Cruise’s career, and apparently, his love life.

The LA Times reports that in 2006, Viacom’s Paramount Pictures (which produced the Mission Impossible movies) cut ties with the actor after he got into a public spat with Matt Lauer over prescription medication. Cruise found a home at Murdoch’s 20th Century Fox, who recently produced Knight And Day.

But it looks like Murdoch is also a little skeptical out by the Church of Scientology. Murdoch wrote on Twitter today:

Murdoch has reportedly received a little bit of backlash after he bashed the Church of Scientology.

But McAllister’s tweet appears to be on the nicer side of the messages that Murdoch has received. The media mogul said that he’s received several “attacks” on Twitter since his comments and he’s worried that they’ll become violent.
