I know most have you have probably already read the statements made by Dr. Drew about Tom Cruise, but just in case you haven't, it is worth spreading to every person all over the world. In the new issue of Playboy, Dr. Drew starts talking about celebrities and mental illness.
"A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."
So, the way I read this, Tom Cruise has to cry himself to sleep every night, clutching a stuffed animal and calling out for mama who either didn't spend any time with him as a child or beat the crap out of him. So what is a guy to do? He spends time with Randy Jones, turns to Scientology and spends the rest of his life making us feel as miserable as he does. I mean, not as miserable as Katie does, but close.
As for Tom's reaction. He was too busy playing with his dolls so he sent out Bert Fields who is his attorney. Bert spun all of Drew's words around and then billed Tom $25,000 for the one sentence response.

God bless Dr. Drew.

I love Dr. Drew, smart guy!
ReplyDeleteBut I do fear for his life a bit at this point.
You don't anger the Poisoned Dwarf and get away with it...
Help, I must have missed Kathy Hilton (superficial, ignorant, trailer trash, gold-diggin' trollop) say call us "everyday people". When and where was this?
ReplyDeleteOh, Dr. Drew. Watch your back.
ReplyDeleteLisa - from Ent's post on May 23rd, 2008:
ReplyDelete'Kathy Hilton did an extensive interview with The Daily Mail and of course even though she was there to plug her new skincare line, she spent most of the time talking about Paris. At one point during the interview she was talking about Paris' jail sentence and had this to say, "It's true that life's been comfortable for Paris and jail was probably tougher on her than it would be on, let's say, an everyday person."'

Loveline yes - thanks Jax. Did anyone watch Celebrity Rehab? It was all worth when dr drew came in on his day off in a t-shirt and jeans... Holy Guns Dr. Drew! Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteTruth to power, Dr. Drew. Mommy and daddy didn't love that man enough.
ReplyDeletelet this be a lesson to all you parents...buy them the pony!
ReplyDeleteTom's mother has one of the worst cases of periodontal disease I've ever seen. It's not that her teeth are so huge but that the gums have receded so badly. And its hereditary so watch out Tom!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's more to that Drew interview, but I would have liked to have known if he addressed Tom's severe case of narcissism and living in his own reality.
ReplyDeleteReally, it may start with Scientology as the symptom but ends with his Tom's self-righteousness.
Really, it's scary. That's why he has such a bad rep now -- the jumping on the couch, the dissing of Brooke Shields, then sucking up to Oprah in Telluride.
But isn't what he said true? Wasn't there something about TC's father abandoning the family and him feeling the loss keenly enough to have contemplated joinng the priesthood or something? I think they patched up only at his deathbed. I could swear there was some kind of interview way back in the day (before he turned into Tom "Scientology Superstar" Cruise) about it.
ReplyDeleteI loved Dr. Drew since 1993, w/ poorman, then ricki rachtman, before adam corolla. you have to have grown up here to know what i am talking about. He is a genius and clearly takes a psychoanalytic approach to treatment. he worked a promises in santa monica back in 1999 as well.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I disagree with a lot of Dr. Drew's psychological philosophies (just a disagreement - he's a good guy, I just feel he's far too psychoanalytic and I have a HUGE distaste for anything Freud due to every psych class I have ever taken practically screaming that Freud was full of it, plus he can be closed minded at times). But in this case? I think he's on to something, haha. I have always suspected that Cruise's psychotic conversion and anti-psychiatry had more to do with abuse or just something that sent him spinning. He's mentioned how his dyslexia was really painful growing up and he was teased horribly for it - and that just sent off warning bells in my head.
ReplyDeleteI heard that TC had stated how his father wasn't the best parent. I don't remember exactly what was said, but they were saying that since that was said in an interview, why was TC's "people" getting upset when that interview was on record?
