The SHOCKING Details Of Katie Holmes' Escape From Tom Cruise & Scientology 

Totally agree!! I applaud Katies father for working so cleverly to free his daughter and granddaughter. I used to like TC, but when Nicole Kidman shared that her children with Tom think of her as an SP, or suppressive person I stopped watching his films. That is pure evil, to stop a mother seeing her children.

@@serenityflies1462 He never approved of them being together.Her Dad did his homework

@@serenityflies1462 parental alienation is Child Abuse...where are social services when it's someone with Money?! 👹💩

He never took his eye off his daughter and he kept a very close eye on Tom. He was meticulous, he calculated every move, and most of all...he was patient. Tom never stood a chance against that man. Tom met his match in Katie's father.

@@williamj.dovejr.8613 I know what you mean, but, I think it’s not his match, her father is a better human! He certainly loves his daughter!

Spot on !

It's not a religion, it's a cult.

How about we stay out of Peoples religions and mind our own business.

@@Annka. works both ways annka!

That is not a religion that is a group of sick people

What if he wasn’t ? Not all of us have that what then if it was someone else ? Creepy

​@@teecop4735agreed. a women who is not privileged like Kate Holmes will be in a very bad situation. But Kate Holmes she's not innocent or a victim at all Tom Cruise it's a very rich Famous actor and member of Scientology he's life everybody knows he's life is Scientology he's dedicate he's life to Scientology everybody knows. She knows too her parents know the whole world knows. She's not a victim she knows what she sign up for. He didn't force her to date him and get pregnant and married him. Was her choice. Why talk bad about him. She sign up for this. Because she's bad actress he very famous very rich and he's old them her much older. She knows all that. She kidnap her daughter from him. The father.

I'd like to see Nicole acknowledge the creepy stuff her father was involved in.

@@kenyettaready exactly .. its been known shes a pedo herself.. her eyes are soulless

I’ve always got the feeling that she is unable to speak publicly about it - sort of an NDA situation

@@kenyettaready What do you mean? My understanding is that her father is it well respected medical physician in Australia………

@@janepowers6711 Kenyetta is right. Way more to the story about Nicole's dad...and it isn't pretty.

Because they are all part of the cult

I agree. Can’t stand watching anything he’s in.

He's a good actor

This is speculation by a guy that knows nothing about Katie & her decision to leave

Nicole Kidman left on her own volition

Kidman somewhat did the same, but their kids are in deep. It's a horrible situation because they are Suris halv-siblings.

@@charisma-hornum-fries i remember that divorce and kidman was a lot more concerned with finances and she had her own money and could have taken those kids a deprogrammed them but she just wanted out. Katie seemed opposite more concerned with the kid and less with money

🤞🏻maybe shelley muscavidge?? 😂

For TC

He gay

I have a similar story myself .

I rented an apartment 3 months in advance, before leaving...and just paid rent until I could then take my son and leave.

ninja style; the only way to fly when there's a big ego being fled

Oooo finally Tom is bad guy

MY GOD!! This is happening out in the open in AMERICA ???????! Why hasn’t the US GOVERNMENT SHUTTING THIS DOWN??????????????

I would love to know if they have ever spoken

@@sounsure9108 That's something I never thought about, until reading your comment. Now I'm wondering the same thing 🤔🤔🤔

Suri, not Siri.

@@annh. Relax. It could be autocorrect.

This is exactly correct!! In the middle of my own in-law family cult right now, and all I can say is I wish I had a ball-buster parent attorney on my side. Katie is my hero!!

I wonder if the fact Katie had never spoken about the cult is all she had to get the divorce/ custody agreement

And I'm sure Katie had dirt on him that could ruin his career.

Katie's father, I'm sure, was preparing that divorce before they were even married. They could see the strangeness of that relationship, and Tom's controlling narcissistic behavior. Thank goodness she had a loving family and smart father who knew exactly how to handle it.

More than...likely !

What does 4 bankers boxes mean?

@@dianapardo6872 That's an awful lot of paper work if it fills 4 banker's boxes! It's a reference to a vast quantity of paperwork.

@@onemuckypup9823 got it ...thanks 👍

@@dianapardo6872 maybe those old paper boxes.

Her dad was fully prepared and waiting for the divorce. Goat dad.

They have mentioned that factor many times in various videos. You probably saw it in one of these videos. Her father was brilliant and exploited every law to her advantage.

Dayuuuum.

That is not genius just basic intelligence, especially for a lawyer

Hope she still is!

​​​​@@epi965 that's the point, everyone _does_ know the bit about 6 month residency in terms of custody disputes. That's where the "genius" of it comes in. It's that she low-key set up filming projects/professional work in NYC for the purpose of giving her a legitimate reason to be there in a way that called minimal attention, therefore shielding why she was ACTUALLY there-for the purpose of custody/divorce, a piece of her escape plan. Katie had to be careful in the projects she lined up, it all had to "fit" within the bounds of what makes sense for her, *Katie Holmes,* i.e. not coming off too eager in the roles/work she accepted. Katie was an A+++ lister and would have had no shortage of professional opportunities available to her.

Yes, I think I did something like that.

Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, no need to be coy Roy... Listen to me, hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much, drop off the key Lee and set yourself free!! Paul Simon, 50 ways to leave your lover 😂

I've always imagined it started like a normal day. She invites dad to the house, makes a signal to her lips like 🤫 and then writes on a piece of paper, ''I want a divorce'' and her dad being like 🕵️👍. and then they both continue talking like nothing happened. Dad then tailgates it the fuck home and immediately set a plan in motion.

​@@bluerose_11 I am cracking up over that statement

He has gained too much power through Scientology to choose otherwise. Gross, I agree.

How can you not like maverick

People do such things all the time in the name of religion.

@@johnv6806 Simples😁

i dunno how she was able to get full custody of his child. tc is very wealthy and powerful;.

Well done, you! Former longtime Victim Advocate here, and the self control Survivors have is beyond amazing! Seeing your story made my heart swell with joy and pride, thank you for sharing! Best in your life of freedom! 👍❤️🙏💞🕊️

So stressful sorry you had to do that

so happy to hear a happy ending to one of these stories

absolutely joane'!

Fact!

*Tom Cruise* (allegedly) *doesn't like your comment.* (😡)

@@hollyhayes9640 🤣🤣🤣 Zero fucks given.

@@JoSpring Good. I hope no one ever cares about him again. 👍

spot on!

She had to have dirt on Tom. For him to give up custody. My opinion.

Her Dad is a top divorce attorney and he was fighting for his lovely daughter. Credit Dad. Father bear.

I agree 100%! It’s a shame that Katie’s dad couldn’t help others who wanted to get out of that cult! (not that I am aware of).

Agree

Very easy to get in though right?

Amen! All glory to Jesus Christ 🙏🏽

sounds like you’re still in a cult, just a different godhead, the christian story is as ridiculous if not more than scientology. You clearly cannot trust your own instincts, be skeptical, belief in deities is not necessary, it’s counterproductive

All religions are cults....Christianity especially.

It must have been nerve wrecking..

She left Scientology & Tom but is still owned by the Illumin*ti…in my opinion.

@@courtneyawalsh😂😂

Did you hear KH or TC telling this publicly? Please, don't take this gossip between the two people in the video seriously; people like them are ruining other people's life. Please, don't be part of this!

@@courtneyawalsh really ? why ?

You’re right. DV survivors have to make plans and run while the abuser is at work or out of the house.

She since then has been dated quite a few men but subsequently broke up. What’s gone bad?

@@minabrite what do you mean?

@@minabrite she was with Jamie Fox a long time. I don't think i've seen her with anyone else.

Well, she had reason to... Where is Shirley? She knew and saw what happened to her, and knows what what done to Britney and figured they could do the same to her. And she'd just be a footnote as Tom Cruise's reclusive wife former starlet Katie Holmes.

His handlers tell def give the interviewee a list of topics and questions that are totally not allowed and if they brake that rule then they will never get an interview from Tom or any other Scientologist and will sick lawyers on them, resulting in ruining their careers.

She found him with a man.

I think the jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa was proof enough he's insane!

@@lesleyjones6230 i don't doubt it a bit

@@edithruiz1947 why? You doubt he s gay? Wake up!

What a precious comment. Your daughter is blessed beyond words. ❤

I wish I had a dad like you! That's how it's supposed to be, but rarely is.

I did not know that, I don't follow celebrity news much, that's a shame

I have always felt a weird vibe from Cruise. Because of this I stopped watching his films years ago. His actions on shows like that interview and Oprah Winfrey just confirmed my suspicions.

Absolutely right

Yeh so bizarre !!

He's not a good man. Hopefully, God will zap him into the truth but I don't see that happening.

He is a possessed demon.

Much love and respect. 😊🥰

Mine did a similar thing

Mine did too. I was 10. Over the decades we have only referred to it as "the big move." No goodbyes. Just gone.

I am happy to hear you have learned to forgive, I hope you've come to realize how brave that was of her, and why she couldn't tell you in advance, as well

Well, she is an actress.

Acting skills came in handy!!

I believe it also has got something to do with how Tom Cruise is out of touch with reality. A caring husband would not be fooled by the poker face and would feel that something was wrong. But he always was sooooo full of himself that he had no idea or interest in how his partner feels.

@@fridakahlo4225 He's probably a "malignant narcissist". He wouldn't be able to conceive of anyone going against his express wishes in any form. All you have to do with those kinds of people is smile, nod, agree and leave without any forwarding address or any kind of warning at all. Been there, done that.

@@Balletified Stay safe and be well.

Perhaps Tom isn't Suri's biological father? No one else would ever know

​@@kirstenb1913She is not Toms ..He can't even have children thank god ..She was pregnant when she meet him .. The father Is Chirs Klein..

@@michellenolan8626 Are you joking or serious?

@@kirstenb1913 I'm serious..

@@michellenolan8626 How do you know? Are you an ex scientologist?

There were secret phones (because hers were bugged), secret financial accounts and money, a place to live in in NY, etc.

so true, shows what a good guy he really is, she and Suri are very lucky to have him

And she was powerless against his star power.

I’m so sorry your ex husband did that to you it sounds like the plot of an actual horror movie!! Grateful you are alive and have some peace!!

@@Vanessacurry84 Thank you so much for saying that. ♥️ Happy Holidays! 🌲

@@rosebudame u don’t have to thank me it’s the truth I’m glad u liked it I wasn’t sure how to word smthg like that lol Happy Holidays to you as well!!!!❤️

@@Vanessacurry84 love bombing a victim then turning on them once they've 'got' you via marriage or children is a textbook abusers pattern .

Absolutely thanks Beth! Crazy the detail they had to go to

Absolutely.

Will always wonder if she helped her in even the slightest as revenge.

Those two people, the girl and the boy aren't really Tom or Nicole's. They were adopted, not Tom or Nicole's DNA...Tom and Nicole simply cared for them, supported them, not their genetic offspring.

​@michelehernandez4217 you trying to say she was not thier parent? You one of those "takes a village" people?

They were adopted yes … Nicole is still the mother as she adopted them . How heartbreaking for her to loose her children that she loves to TC . Those kids are Scientologists .

​@@michelehernandez4217Are you kidding me? What is wrong with you? Of course those are their children... They adopted them, they raised them, they love them.... You can't be serious. Nicole will always be their mother, unfortunately Tom will also always be there father

She is definitely happier in the photos taken in the last 11 years since she ended the marriage. Real smiles again.

I never heard of that cult, church, business before.... it's inconceivable anyone would agree with this treatment.

She had her Father do alot of the "dirty, grit" work. Nothing "Amazing" about it when Katie had people who supported her. Meanwhile, Tom came around Katie while she was "dating" again. Something is fishy and doesn't add up.

Smart woman

Defo film in there, she should just ruin him, little prick

Wait. The audition to be his gf wasn’t enough lol

I would certainly read that book, but, I think it was part of the divorce agreement that she wouldn’t do something like that.

I'd suspect if not during her pregnancy, certainly after having her daughter.

She noticed he was secretive with his phone calls

There's a weak moment in every person's life that cults do *take advantage* of. It goes unpunished but it happens

Same thing happened to me and 3 of my friends in L.A. in the 80's ... Free personality test is a scam .... Did you get like 100's of questions? Like do you whistle while you work? Crazy questions! Crazy situation for a teenager to get into.

They audited you the first time you met them??

@@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 yes. Exactly. We took a 'test' lol, in an open room right off Hollywood Blvd, it was like a hundred questions and then they took us to a back room where we were one on one with someone on a audit machine. Weird

We were in London (me and my then boyfriend) and went to a session about Dianetics, as it was then back in the 80s. We thought it was ludicricous and frankly bonkers but we had some difficulty getting out of the hall. They were extremely persistent. Luckiky we were living in Ireland and they lost interest when they heard that.

Former longtime Victim Advocate here, and your Dateline training is spot on! 👍

Utterly undermined? He still makes movies. Seems the industry is indifferent.

Absolutely great ill be glad if she marries again like nicole and be happy again,...

@@patrickmccutcheon9361 But the fans are not!

Nicole s adopted children with tom and Nicole has talked to Katie

@@tubingit1856 hardly! Look at the success of Top Gun. Hollywood will turn a blind eye to anything and everything as long as box office numbers are strong and that’s dependent upon a solid fan base.

insane!

Why did she marry him?

Any time I see any person put their hand on the back of their "partner's" neck, it gives me the chills; even if it seems to be 'affectionate'. Let alone frogmarching someone out into camera range.

@@uptick888 it was said in an interview that she had a crush on him since she was a young girl and jokingly mentioned that she would marry him someday. I guess in a crazy way, she manifested that, but obviously she had on rose colored glasses with him (after watching the Kidman divorce) I’m sure Tom and his crew had some convincing stories as to why their marriage didn’t work out and convinced Katie that Nicole was the problem and not the other way around. My guess

@@uptick888 she was young and swept away by a rich, famous actor. She obviously had no idea how bad things would get. But I get your point. She was an adult and should have seen the early warning signs.

I didn't know who Katie was when she was dating cruise, but after I heard how births and babies are handled in Scientology, I was hoping she'd get Suri out of there.

I think she is a damn good actress to have pulled off that escape. 🙏🏻😉 I never watched Dawsons creek, but I saw her in some little independent movie and she is really good.

Can you imagine what a narcisstic piece of garbage miscavage is to treat someone that way? He is truly a sick sadistic beast.

Its disgusts me to even think about the situation

The wee admiral...lol

I know, what a horrible little man. I can’t fathom why no one stands up to him? It’s baffling????

@@tracieday8661the wee admiral is right lol 😂

Sounds like it was personal for her Dad.

She probably has a billion year NDA

That's a feeling that can only be understood when you go through it, I was told that and I experienced it. I told someone I know that, before she gave birth and she assured me she loved her child already. I told her I know but it'll be different, afterwards she told me that she understands now what I was saying.

I had to do it alone and it was awful; I have always had a contentious and difficult relationship with my parents so when I finally worked up the courage to go talk to them about help getting out my gather said "we can't listen to this we have to stay neutral" it wasn't unexpected, but still felt like a knife in my back, it was hard to pack up with a six-month-old to take care of at the same time, luckily I had a neighbor who would watch him for an hour or so, and let me stash the boxes at her house til I found a place for us to move to and a job to support us which I was fortunate enough to have the computer skills to be able to do fairly quickly, but without her, it would not have happened, throughout the entire custody hearing nightmare no one from my family ever called to ask how it was going, or how we were which again, was not a surprise, but still hurt a lot

All cults I’ve researched isolate their members from their families+friends.

No, that's the basic premise of the United States of America. Freedom of religion. As insane as it sounds to a lot of people, Tom is allowed to believe in that. I'm glad she was able to get out of a situation that was unhappy/unhealthy. But many churches do this kind of mental/emotional abuse, not just Scientology. Across the world, not just the US. And no one should be persecuted for being Catholic/Baptist/Jewish/SDA/Muslim/Buddhist/Scientologist as long as they are not committing illegal acts because of their beliefs. I feel strongly about this because I'm an atheist. And I feel uncomfortable saying so sometimes. Imagine living somewhere you knew you literally could be jailed for your beliefs.

But her career is very dull. Tom surely pulled kots of strings to make sure she would never make it big in the industry

@@ach4049 Being a mom myself I would think she feels the sacrafice is worth it 🙂

Alexandra Good for you that you got away. I understand it wasn't easy and that's an understatement.

Scientology tried taking my nephew away from my brother in court! That cult had no business being there!

Every time someone says "entheta" I laugh 😆 Once it's not super-serious anymore, it's stupid.

@@sharkofjoy yep. It becomes even more hilarious, when you speak to someone who takes it seriously My mom is OT7, lol

Even so, Tom got custody of Nicole's kids so Katie and her dad made sure she got Suri.

Very fortunate to have him! Thanks Clare

I remember when my first son was born...I knew when I first saw him that if anyone tried to hurt him that I would tear them to pieces.

She’s a better actor than him.

Not only she has been able to develop an incredible career with multiple varied roles but a good marriage with kids. None of which he has.

@@alexanderh9878 her adopted kids were scientologised away from her....

@@daisy7066 they were gods... and Stiller are

And the fact Nicole was pregnant, had a miscarriage and TC says he didn't know if the child was his. Ugh

She was adorable, a teen idol even, but no, i never felt like Tom was attracted to her.

@@jamesrobbins1243 Tom was attracted to her blind idolization of him. She had his poster on her wall as a teenager and was clearly enthralled with him when they started dating. His ego and arrogance are huge. He thought her awe of him, as well as her younger age, would make her compliant and easily controllable.

Fortunately, not all women are reckless enough to put themselves in that position. I'm amazed at the free pass she's getting on this. This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil.

@@mjt5576 i know its not a cult but i went to a university that acted very much like scientology. They told you what you wanted to hear and everyone you spoke to told the same rehearsed lies and once you moved everything, sold everything, moved to a new place had loans only the job you were studying for could pay you wete told if you didnt perform certain tasks you would fail. I had to sue and even then my lawyer took a pay off, powerful groups took credit for my work to change things, i was failed at the 11th hour and the dean of the school was friends with the governor and DA which left me witg nothing. Im also disabled so they caused so much stress i am now dying. I asked the right questions, made the right moves bcz i had grown up in an abusive household and went to a church that protected my abusors so i thought this would mever happen to me as an adult but it did. I never understood women who stayed in abusive situations until i was in a place where i had nowhere to go. I dont have holmes and cruise money, Katie was lucky she did, if i had maybe i wouldnt be dying.

@@ahomeforallanimals it’s a cult

@@tiffprendergast they have the money of scientology and i cant even get an interview with someone on youtube

@@ahomeforallanimals I'm so sorry. This goes on everywhere to so many people. I had a similar experience. so many predators out there

Leah Remini has talked about that in her series about Scientology as they were friends. She was at Tom Cruises wedding to Katie and asked where is Shelley? That’s what started her journey to leave.

What has happened to her?

I can't believe that people aren't investigating this...... it makes no sense....

Yes. I’m Indiana it’s called false imprisonment. If someone even blocks a doorway preventing another person from leaving. I’m not sure about now but at one point it’s illegal to lock doors in a building and not allowing a person or persons access to leave. Even if it’s not intent to commit a crime.

Yeah I know in NY it can be considered unlawful imprisonment. I know that sounds like locking someone up but it can be something like trying to stand in a doorway.

Cults do that and it's very difficult to outsmart them

The rules and laws don’t apply to Scientologists. They make their own rules.

@@cazsmith2358 They can think that all they want however its not how the law works. I would have 0 issues arresting scientologists for obstruction + for interfering in my investigations.

Could be Stockholm Syndrome

They like their careers

Wonder how many of them MUTUALLY want to leave, but are too afraid of everyone around them drawing attention. Like, three people that work together, all three secretly want to leave, none of them say anything to the other two for fear that they’d be “the odd man out”, and be disciplined. All of them thinking each other is a staunch Scientologist since everyone would be feigning loyalty... What a sad prospect...

Aw thank Jana! I think we have a lot more to come.

But where’s the comment about the musings on how parents don’t really love their children??? Aaron already said the opposite, and he’s made his love for his kids and wife clear in other videos. What does he mean, “you make some points?” Of course some people don’t, and no one should be forced to have kids. But some people certainly do. Read all the comments about Katie Holmes’s Dad if you have any doubts
