She had a 5 year contract to play his wife. She was one of two actresses that was up for the job. The other was Jessica Alba. The person pulling the strings was David Geffen who also got Cher to pretend that she had a tryst with Cruise years back.
This is all pretend. It is how Hollywood works.
The 5 year deal is over. Holmes will never go on TV and say anything bad about Scientology. She will come up with more scripted fantasy which will include BS about how non-gay Cruise is. At some point Cruise will hire a new “wife” and the next “act” starts.
It is Hollywood. Unfortunately, the same scam was pulled with Barry whatever his real name is.
Her parents must have known this. I’m surprised Daddy waited so long to swoop in and rescue his daughter.
