>Cruise created a firestorm when he criticized Shields for revealing that she went into therapy and took antidepressants to deal with her postpartum depression

Brooke Shields made her life
public when she wrote her book.
Why shouldn't Tom Cruise

or anyone else
comment about her choices
since she's gone public?!

He did comment about it. Nothing in particular wrong with that. But he got annoyed when Brooke Shields told him where to put his opinions.

[TheOtherOne]

In an interview now online on Entertainment Weekly, Tom Cruise addresses some of his insane tendencies of late, including flopping around on Oprah, taking shots out of nowhere on Brooke Shields and his ramped up commitment to Scientology, the only thing that can save the lost souls here on Teegeeack, or what you humans call “Earth.” Before anyone is too hard on Tom, just remember that his body is inhabited by the wandering souls of fried space aliens. So that sucks. And laugh if you want, but once Xenu is freed from his electronic mountain trap and order is restored to the Galactic Confederation, (an alliance of 76 planets founded 95 million years ago) you’re gonna feel pretty silly. No offense all of you who don't believe in Xenu, but you're kinda makin an ass out of yourself.

He's free to do so, but we're free to excoriate him for attacking Shields. IMHO, what he's going around saying is no different than if he were to go out and attack Lance Armstrong for obtaining chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Both clinical depression (not all depression) and cancer have physiological causes.

Clinical depression is caused by a dearth of seratonin in the synapses of the brain. Anti-depressants, such as Paxil and Prozac, help restore the seratonin.
