Tom Cruise Lawsuit

Tom Cruise remains on father damage control, this time siccing his attorneys on a tabloid that doubted his devotion to daughter Suri.  


According to TMZ and the Associated Pres, Cruise has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the publishers of Life & Style over a July cover story that accused him of abandoning the 6-year-old in the wake of his divorce from Katie Holmes.

"Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri," his lawyer, Bert Fields, claims. "She's a vital part of his life and always will be. To say he has "abandoned" her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible."

Adds Fields, who in July threatened to file a lawsuit against the National Enquirer after it labeled his most famous client a "monster," "Tom doesn't go around suing people. He's not a litigious guy. But when these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he's going to sue."

Fields reveals any money collected from the suit, which was filed in Los Angeles federal court, will go to charity.

Right around the time the Life & Style issue hit newsstands, Cruise was reunited with Suri in New York after a reported monthlong separation. Tom was last photographed with his daughter in early August, during a trip to Disney World.






Since then, the rumor mill has estimated on the reason for the terrible separation, with some sources blaming it on Cruise's commitment to the Church of Scientology.
