After breaking up with Katie Holmes in 2012, Tom Cruise leaves the Church of Scientology at the same time Leah Remini leaves in 2013? What implications will this have on the church, and Tom's acting career?
Tom Cruise's religion is Scientology!?!?!?!?
Yep, they wouldn't release his blackmail file directly - or all at once. It would be interesting to see what's in there - I'll bet a lot of it isn't terribly scandalous now. The possible gayness, for example, isn't nearly the career killer it was 25 years ago.Assuming he did for whatever reason, I think the Church is run by too clever of people to go nuclear on him, unless he decided to sabotage things. Probably just a whisper campaign.
If he does try to blow them up, well, assuming the gay rumors are true...it's gonna get very nasty. CoS has one of the most impressive legal teams on the planet. Cruise goes way up in public esteem, unless it gets out he's directly involved in some of the Church's really untoward stuff.
The Church, and Cruise himself, are too secretive to say anything definite here.
I remember reading somewhere he's been tipped as a possible successor to Miscavige. Can't find a source right now ...I think you'd need a personality transplant to be honest. He's actually got leadership roles in the Church AFAIK.
