Actress reveals Tom Cruise's plan to "lure" daughter Suri to Scientology
Tom Cruise has been estranged from his daughter Suri Cruise for nearly a decade now, but former Scientologist Leah Remini believes the actor has a “master plan” to get her back.
Speaking to the New York Post, the actress things Cruise will “lure” his daughter away from his ex-wife Katie Holmes and convert her to the Church of Scientology when she’s older.
Holmes divorced Cruise in 2012 and ever since then, she has had sole custody of their daughter, who is now 14-year-old.
The last time Cruise was spotted with Sure was in 2013.
“Scientology considers Katie a suppressive person which is an enemy and therefore Tom believes, like all Scientologists, that he can’t be connected to Suri,” Remini said.
“I’m sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”
The King of Queens actress also said she was “really proud” of Holmes “for getting her daughter out of something that would have been potentially very toxic and dangerous for not only Suri but for their relationship.”
“I knew Katie when she was in [Scientology] and she seemed very indoctrinated into Tom’s world,” Remini said.
“But as time went on, and I understood why she did what she did to protect her daughter … I’m only assuming that there’s some type of agreement to protect her daughter.”
Remini was raised as a Scientologist but left the organisation in 2013.
The 50-year-old has since been extremely vocal as she advocates against the belief system.
Criuse is said to be close to his two children, Isabella, 27, and Connor, 25, who he adopted with now ex-wife Nicole Kidman — both are devout Scientologists.
In an 2018 interview with Who magazine Kidman said she loved them regardless of their beliefs.
“They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them,” she said.
