The Tom Cruise - Katie Holmes divorce was the talk of the town. But now Tom Cruise has other issue to tackle with. Tom has threatened to sue tabloid the National Enquirer for a cover story that brands him an "abusive monster". "THE ABUSE - PUNISHMENTS - HUMILIATION...Katie's tortured life exposed," reads the cover.
The legal threat comes after Cruise's shock split from wife Katie Holmes less than two weeks ago. The tabloid, emblazoned with a bold "Inside Tom's House of Horrors!" cover headline, claimed Holmes endured a "tortured life" of punishments and humiliation with a controlling, abusive Cruise.
The Enquirer also said the couple's six year old daughter Suri was forced to live in a small, windowless room for six months. An outraged Cruise had his lawyer Bert Fields fire off a letter blasting the "disgraceful and lurid" story to Enquirer publisher American Media, The Hollywood Reporter has reported.
Cruise is demanding the Enquirer retract the story and it's "lies" which his lawyer says will cost the actor hundreds of millions of dollars of professional and personal damages. "Mr. Cruise is certainly not a "monster." He is a caring father, a hardworking actor and, above all, an honest, decent man," the letter said, adding that Suri slept in a nursery - with a window - adjoining the couple's bedroom.
Cruise has been dogged by rabid speculation over his personal life, especially over his devotion to Scientology, ever since Katie Holmes blindsided him by filling for a divorce. Holmes was given sole custody of their daughter this week, in a move widely seen as an attempt to stop details of Cruise's private life being dragged though the media.
