 <\/p>\n

Tom Cruise, one of the highest-profile celebrities in the Church of Scientology, is said to have brought the religion’s strict discipline and teachings into his personal life. His obsession with the Church’s strict principles, which began in the 1980s, has reportedly been a major factor in his excessive control over his children’s lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The most tense point in the family is Cruise’s relationship with his youngest daughter, <\/span>Suri Cruise<\/span><\/b> (born 2006, with Katie Holmes).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Deciding Event:<\/span><\/span><\/b> His divorce from Katie Holmes in June 2012 was widely reported by the media to be due to Holmes’s desire to protect Suri from Scientology teachings.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • Public Admittance (2013):<\/span><\/span><\/b> In a 2013 defamation lawsuit deposition, Cruise was asked by his attorney if Holmes left him “in part to protect Suri from Scientology.”<\/span><\/span>Cruise admitted: <\/span>“It’s one of those assertions, yeah.”<\/span><\/b><\/span>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • The Aftermath:<\/span><\/b> This admission reinforces the notion that Scientology was the main cause of the rift. <\/span>Since 2012, Cruise and Suri have reportedly been estranged for more than a decade.<\/span><\/span> Recently, Suri reportedly chose to use her mother’s middle name, <\/span><\/span>Noelle<\/span><\/span><\/b> , as her surname instead of Cruise at her high school graduation, in a clear show of alienation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n

    \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f The Extreme “Protection” Perspective and the “Cut-Off” Policy<\/span><\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Cruise’s strict control is said to stem from Scientology’s doctrine of <\/span>“disconnection,” where members are encouraged to sever ties with ” <\/span><\/b>Suppressive Persons<\/span><\/i> ,” or non-believers who have left the Church.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cruise believes that imposing religious discipline is a form of “protection” for children, but this very act, influenced by the Church, has led to the opposite result: <\/span>dividing the family<\/span><\/b> .<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Bella and Connor: <\/span><\/b>Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s two older adopted children\u2014Isabella (‘Bella’) and Connor\u2014have maintained their faith and close relationship with their father, but their relationship with their adoptive mother, Nicole Kidman, has also reportedly been strained due to similar religious principles.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In short, Tom Cruise’s illustrious career has come with a painful personal price, encapsulated in his own admission that religious control “pushed [Suri] away,” reflecting the high cost that highly controlling religious organizations place on celebrities’ private lives.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
