Scientology happy when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman split up: the book

According to the new book, “A Billion Years: My Escape from Scientology,” Tom Cruise began staying away from Scientology in 1997 while filming Stanley Kubrick’s intense film with his then-wife Nicole Kidman. “.

Former senior church official Mike Lind wrote that the star began ignoring calls from Scientology leader David Miskavig while filming in London. This allegedly prompted Miscavige to send the principal church director, Marty Rathbun, to the UK for a cruise audit – the process by which an entity uses its life events to soothe negative emotions and achieve a degree of “clarity”.

Kidman was taken to church by Cruise many years ago, but “never showed any particular interest in her Scientology classes or audits,” Lind wrote. It didn’t help that her father was a psychiatrist.

Pellicano spent more than a decade in prison for a range of crimes, including wiretapping, racketeering, conspiracy and unlawful possession of explosives and grenades.

“The church has never ordered or participated in any illegal wiretapping,” a spokesman for the church on Page Six said. “Mike Rinder is a die-hard liar trying to profit from his dishonesty. He used false police reports, seditious propaganda and deceptive media coverage to organize the harassment of his former church and its Leaders, to support themselves.”

Rathbun also claims the book turned the couple’s two adopted children — Isabella and Connor — against Kidman, instilling in them L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings about suppressors.

According to the reported canon of Scientology, oppressors are people recognized by the church as enemies and must be suppressed or destroyed.
