Katie Holmes Wasn't Imprisoned by Scientologists

Two weeks ago, after Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, a media frenzy ensued. The tabloid site TMZ alleged the divorce was not about money or other normal sources of marital strife, but rather Tom’s plan to enroll their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, into Scientology’s elite religious order known as “Sea Org.” On CBS, Eliza Shapiro reported—based on the testimony of apostate Scientologists—that six-year old Suri Cruise was being “groomed to be part of the upper echelons” of the faith. According to Shapiro, leaving the church “might be scary and dangerous” for Holmes. Since the divorce was announced, “mysterious men” have been reported following Holmes around New York, though a lawyer for Scientology has denied the church is involved.
