He should really keep his mouth shut. I find the more I listen to him, the more disguisted I am that he is shooting off his mouth about things he knows nothing about. I truly feel sorry for Katie Holmes.She is definately doomed if she stays with him.
Yeah I highly think it's time for him to move on past his couch play and get on with his life. I think the funniest thing to happen to him was being sprayed in the face and seeing him glare at the guy like he splattered his face with acid (which would have been funnier) was just hilarious. SHUTUP ALREADY TOM! We don't give a shit about you and Katie Holmes. Some of us have real life problems and other things to deal with without constantly reading about your bs in the mags or news everyday. Jackass!
I find it annoying that he thinks anybody should care about anything he has to say about anything. I will now need no reminder to miss War of The Worlds...
It is irresponsible for Mr.Cruise to dismiss serious medical conditions such as post-partum depression as a condition requiring simple diet and exercise. He continues to repeat the fact that he has helped 'friends' wihout drugs, which, according to him, "only masks the problem, and does not provide a cure." When confronted (as with Matt Lauer) with the flip side of the issue - that people have lived happier lives thanks to medication - Mr.Cruise becomes defensive and dismissive. It is sad when a celebrity takes on the role of medical professional. His suggestion that Ms.Shields carreer has nose-dived and she is no longer "happy" is arrogant and displays his lack of class. My sincere hope for Kate Holmes to be weary of what she is getting into.
I just keep hoping he continues to make these stupid statements critizing brooke, people on medication , this will show the world what a self absorbed moron he is.i hope this effects his career and destroys any ounce of credibility he ever had.i will never see another movie he is ever involved with and i will tell everyone i know to boycott everything he is involved in.we will let he know what we think of him with the power or our pocketbooks.
What a FREAK! Are you kidding me?!?! He knows the "history" of psychiatry, so that makes him a Dr?! Whatever?! I will NOT watch any movies that he is in...EVER again! HE needs to be put on anti-psychotic meds!
Tom Cruise here is another thing for you to beam about...You've just been awarded the 2005 Douchebag of the Year Award. Congratulations you pompous douche.
Tom Cruise is SUCH an arrogant, pompous person. Did you see his interview with Matt Lauer on 6/24 on the Today show? Ultimately, he's dangerous because someone with all of his celebratory power might be believed, esp. by people who are ashamed to be on antidepressants and don't know any better...people who are MDs and PhDs must debate him and put him in his place. Poor Katie - I hope she doesn't get sucked into this cult, too.
Tom, you've only played a doctor in the movies. Okay? You are not a real doctor. You are an actor. And not a very good one at that. Leave Katie alone. Don't drag her down into the mud.
Tom, Tom, Tom...you poor, misguided soul. Would you like me to find you the name of a nice psychiatrist who specializes in God complexes? It's time to learn that you cannot cure someone of depression by laying your holy hand atop their head.
What medical school did he graduate from, again?
Find a real religion, Tom.
Huzzah for Brooke for standing up for herself, and other women who suffer or have suffered post-partum depression.
All I can say is Freak!!!
Tom Cruise's choices for saying things, not to mention doing things in public recently have been ridiculous to say the least!!!
Hats off to Brooke for talking about her Post Partum depression in public. Plenty of women have this and they take it out on their kids. (Remember the woman in Houston who drowned her 5 kids?)
Nicest thing I can say about him is I believe the aliens in his latest movie have possessed him. And, that's even before he did this movie, cause after Nicole, the choices have been crap!!!
What an odd thing for Dr. Cruise to say.
Certainly when he was getting his medical degree and then continuing on to become a psychiatrist he learned about the chemical imbalances that cause depression. And he must know that if you don't have a chemical imbalance then an antidepressent (whether an SSRI like Paxil or an MAOI or whatever) won't work for you. The fact that it works for a patient shows a patient needed it.
What? He's not a psychiatrist? Well then I'm confused, why does he think he has a right to publically state his uninformed dangerous opinion?
Bravo to Brooke for opening up about such a sensitive subject. Tom Cruise needs to get a medical degree before he starts taking pop shots at prescription drugs, especially those for depression. May we remind Tom that his hero L.Ron Hubbard committed suicide . . . that's right, the sci-fi writer who made up Scientology actually killed himself. Maybe a dose of Paxil would have saved him. Shut up Tom! I hate banning things, but I'll make an exception this time . . . all Tom Cruise movies are banned from now on in my house. "War of the Worlds" is only loosely based on the H.G. Wells book anyway. They should have called it something else. I'm not going to see it, and my copy of "Top Gun" is going in the trash!
He knows absolutely nothing about giving birth....Hell I cried for 2 days after my baby was born, and that was 37 years ago. Post natal depression is real folks. He needs to grow up! Get a grip Tom, believe me you are far from perfect!
I used to like Tom Cruise, but my opinion of him has changed drastically. How dare him to critize Brooke Shield's career when his career is not that great. I say we boycott his movies. Brook Shields is a classy lady and Tom is an idiot!
Where does he get the gall!! Apparently, in Scientology seeking help for a personal problem is not condoned, but abandoning your wife of 10 years and immediately proceeding to parade around with another woman, having an affair with someone that could be your daughter, showing total lack of respect for someone else's choices and speaking disparagingly about things you know nothing about is OK. Hmmm...don't think I'll be singing up for that cult anytime soon
I am glad that Ms. Shields received treatment that worked for her, and I deplore Mr. Cruises' vicious comments - they were unsettling considering the number of people who hang on his every word. I can only implore you to remember that it is we who make these people celebrities! We need to stop giving them so much attention and credibility. They play make-believe for a living and feel the need to tell us how to live, how much of our tax dollars should be spent for their causes, and what lifestyles we should accept. How about we start elevating teachers, police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, neighbors, familiy members and co-workers, etc. to the level of respect we seem to reserve for celebrities only! The world would be much better off.
Mr. Cruise should not attempt to comment on female issues, unless he has a common frame of reference? At any rate, I doubt seriously that Ms. Shields in concerned about the comments of a bitter,sterile, gay man.
Shut up Tom Cruise. As if you have ever dealt with any real life issues like a real wife and a real pregnancy. Stick to your mothership of science fiction down at the "org". And in the meantime, SHUT UP!
I've never been a fan of his, so I'll sign anything that has to do with him and his stupid mouth. I'm so happy that Nicole's career has taken off since they broke up:)
He is brainwashed by Scientology. Two failed marriages and children by adoption he has no clue. Maybe he should worry less about Brooke Shields coming forward and enlightening women about a very common condition, and worry more about the horrid movies he's made the last 10 years. Shut up Tom, we don't want your opinion on women issues or anything but your bad movies you made.
Tom Cruise is a gay man ..no wonder he has no clue about post natal depression. His cult is dangerous. He is an illiterate high school drop out and Brooke is an Ivy League grad..hmmm who should I take advice from?
I cried when I read Brooke's book. I could relate to so much of what she had experienced. I am so grateful for her courage to speak out regarding her PPD. She is shedding light on an illness that is so often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Tom Cruise's remarks were insensitive and uncalled for. Brooke, you are a class act.
I sincerely hope that Brooke Shields ignores Tom Cruise's uninformed, judgmental, cruel comments! Only a woman who has given birth and possibly her husband or partner can begin to understand what she went through. I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for him. Shut up, Tom!
I am outraged and sickened by Tom Cruise’s ridiculous comments. He needs to go back to worshipping his 1960’s science fiction writer, Ron Hubbard and leave the medical advice to the experts who have gone through years of schooling and hands-on experience to understand the human body. It’s not easy having children – it’s physically and emotionally draining – and your body can play pay very nasty tricks on you once your hormones have gone haywire. Brooke is doing a great thing – sharing her very personal story in the hopes that it will give another woman suffering from this depilating problem the courage to seek the help she needs so can get back to fully enjoying her children. I applaud Brooke – what a wonderful person. I just help Katie Holmes wakes up and smells the coffee before it’s too late!!!
I normally don't waste my time on "celebrities". But this issue could really save women's lives. Scientology has been waging war on true psychiatric help for years and years. Bottom line people, seek medical (including psychiatric) advice from your physician, not from celebrities. I also applaude Brooke for bring attention to this problem so women know there is no shame in it.
I have lost a ton of respect for Tom. What gives him the right to judge anyone!!! It took Brooke a lot of courage to do what she did and strength to get through it, how dare him criticize her...VITAMINS??? THAT is irresponsible!!
Boycott Boycott Boycott....we've seen one alien movie, what's another???
I support Brooke Shields in speaking up for women who have dealt with, who are dealing with and who will deal with post partum depression. Keep it up Brooke, because of your courage other women will get help...and SHUT UP Tom Cruise because of your comments other women will continue to suffer!
Another "celebrity" mouthing off is Australia's Idol, Guy Sebastian. He is opining about his views on anti-abortion. What on earth gives these so called Celebs the right to tell us how to live our lives - what do they know about the real world...the one you and I live in...not the bubble they inhabit.
I'm just one of millions of people who have seen the benefits of anti-anxiety and anti-depression medicine. Tom Cruise is a flaming idiot, and Scientology is nothing more than a money sucking cult. Hey Tom! STFU you brain-washed moron. Oh, by the way, he says he is 5'10". HA! Try 5'5". What does Scientology say about a Napoleon complex?
I agree that Tom Cruise should not venture where he obviously has no understanding! I take anti-depressants for reasons other than post partum depression. They DO help and I applaude Brooke Shields! I think his remarks are completely out of line and he should get off his "supposed" feeling of celebrity that he enjoys! I think he is a washed-up "has-been" who is "wacked" out on cult religion.
I have suffered from a depression ever since I lost my child. If it wasn't for the medicine I would probably be dead right now. Tom please stick to something that you know about.
Tom, only after you've live through 9 months of pregnancy and only after you have delivered 8 or so pounds of squirming human flesh from a tiny opening in your crotch, do you have the right to tell a woman what she should/can and shouldn't/cannot do about post-partum depression.
I've suffered from depression since I was 10 years old (I'm now 34). If it wasn't for antidepressants I would be dead right now. It's people like Tom Cruise that cause people like me to be embarrassed to admit they have a "mental" disease. We were just getting rid of the stigma of having depression and he opens his uneducated mouth and says this. Also, he should check medical journals. There IS scientific evidence that chemical imbalance (neurotransmitters in the brain) can cause depression.
For some reason Tom and others like him, believe that because they can memorize a few lines, and stand in front of a camera, they automatically are an expert on everything from world affairs, to mental health, to the private lives of other people. It is about time we let celebrities like the arrogant Tom know that we don't really care what they think.
Oh god Tom shut up will you. Its really horrible to make judgements especially on post natal depression more to the point what do you know about being a pregnant woman!
