How Scientologists Reportedly Turned Isabella, Connor Cruise Against Mom Nicole Kidman



Divorce is a tricky minefield for all kids -- including Isabella and Connor Cruise, who were just 8 and 6 years old, respectively, when their world-famous parents Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced in 2001 after 11 years together.

Maureen Orth's investigative cover story in the new Vanity Fair alleges, among other things, that members of Cruise's Church of Scientology turned the young kids against their mom, now 45, following the split.

"The central problem [in the marriage] was Nicole did not want to deal with Scientology," former high-ranking Scientologist Marty Rathbun claims to the magazine. After Kidman left the marriage and the Church, she was labeled a Suppressive Person -- a spiritually toxic person to be avoided -- with members of the Church quietly instilling this idea into the kids, sources claimed to Vanity Fair.

"They rejected Nicole -- they've been instructed," says John Brousseau, who was a Scientologist for 32 years and formerly the bodyguard and brother-in-law to church leader David Miscavige.

Do they even see her now? There are literally no pictures of them together.

bella has been visiting nicole in TN. i've read she's been distancing herself a little from the church.

i think connor bought into the scientology more with his dad's praises but isabella's been warming up to / visiting nicole and since attending her wedding to keith.

Isabella was such a cute kid.
beokitty 5th-Sep-2012 10:19 pm (UTC)
I am glad she ended up having her own kid who is beyond Toms clutches. It's sad for all involved, if she was really demonized to her adopted kids it must make them feel even more separate from her, or perhaps it made the separation easier. Idek, sad in any case.
nasstasja_sk 5th-Sep-2012 10:46 pm (UTC)
But they are also ''her own kids''. :(
beokitty 5th-Sep-2012 11:26 pm (UTC)
Well obvioulsy they were Toms cult-adoption children who have dismissed her completely.

Excuse you and your "her own kids"

Isabella and Conner ARE her kids as well.

Jesus.

i wonder if their real scientology parents know that's their kids. i've read so many stories that their parents work on the sea org
sonadoras456 5th-Sep-2012 10:33 pm (UTC)
Didn't Connor call someone the "f" word? I think so because the post was on here and I was like "You know Tom is one of those guy's who goes around saying that around his kids because he wants to look cool even though he's gay and in the closet."
pdebevoise 6th-Sep-2012 02:07 am (UTC)
I made that post and it seemed everyone was defending Connor for talking like teens talk.
ballininmyyurt 5th-Sep-2012 10:40 pm (UTC)
Connor is cute.
myblackass 5th-Sep-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
I believe Connor is Tom's bio child and that his poor mother is locked away on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean drinking barley water and serving out her 1,000,000,000 year contract with Sea Org.

Wait...what? Please explain.
squarebiz2you 5th-Sep-2012 11:45 pm (UTC)
Yep.
anterrabre 6th-Sep-2012 07:23 pm (UTC)
Nope. Instead of having an abortion, a sista got PAID WELL to give up all parental rights and not say a damn thing about Tom having a sweet tooth for the chocolate.
myblackass 6th-Sep-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
If she's a Scientologist, I doubt she was paid anything.
mammary_glands 5th-Sep-2012 11:07 pm (UTC)
why would anyone believe this cult when it says that they didn't something when they're accused of having done something by ex members omg they're so stupid i hate scientology so much
myblackass Re: tin foil hat6th-Sep-2012 02:20 am (UTC)
This exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pic of him earlier inthis thread.
sapitacherry 5th-Sep-2012 11:25 pm (UTC)
i 100% believe the rumor that Nicole was forced to walk away from the kids. Appearently, if she fought for custody, Tom and his attack dogs were going to ruin her private life and career permanently.

I wonder if she wishes she'd come up Katie's plan back in the day
chelledbrown 5th-Sep-2012 11:41 pm (UTC)
I think Nicole loved Tom and never imagined she'd need an 'escape plan' to get away from him and never for a second thought that after nearly a decade she'd lose contact with her children because of that 'religion' that she (apparently) had gotten him away from.

Katie, on the other hand, clearly knew what was up and her place in that 'marriage' and knew that when it came time to flee she needed to have her ducks in a row.
squarebiz2you 5th-Sep-2012 11:46 pm (UTC)
Yep.
shangri__la 6th-Sep-2012 12:15 am (UTC)
Yep.

Nicole was blindsided. She was pregnant then miscarried at the time of divorce. I can't even imagine what that was like.
vvatima 6th-Sep-2012 01:11 am (UTC)
Well they had joint custody - I think the issue was more that the kids didn't want to see her, so there wasn't much she could do. Honestly, one parent brainwashing the kids against the other parent is not all that uncommon after divorces. The parent being alienated doesn't have that many options - especially as the kids grow older.

So Demonic friends
lovebats 6th-Sep-2012 01:37 am (UTC)
this ordeal always makes me so sad for nicole. her kids started to literally hate her b/c of some cult she couldn't save tom from.
enigmatic_force 6th-Sep-2012 02:36 am (UTC)
cult.
melissa_ivory 6th-Sep-2012 04:13 am (UTC)
The more I see these posts, the more I want to walk into one of their centers and see if they would accept me and how far I can get in before getting out.
