I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still totally reeling over this Katie Homes-finally-cut-the-cord thing, how about you?
So! This is what we now know:
—Katie filed for divorce in New York City, where the judicial system is more apt to consider emotional abuse in family cases (interesting) and wants to break ties with the Church of Scientology
—Katie’s fighting for sole physical custody of the couple’s daughter, Suri
—Tom Cruise claims he’s “deeply saddened” by Katie’s decision to divorce
And now here’s the new stuff, which I’m just floored by. Sources “close” to Katie claim that the main driving forces in her decision to file included her general disposition deterioration (the source says, “After five years of this, Katie really felt like she was going crazy and that she was actually turning into the robot that the press had always made her out to be. Katie has actually got a great personality and she used to be spunky and feisty. She changed so much when she was with Tom, she became downtrodden and insipid. In the end it just got too much, she was sick of it and decided she had to do something. Basically, she grew up and lost the starstruck goggles she had been wearing”).
According to Radar Online, Katie was concerned that Suri’s “coming of age” was going to be corrupted by Tom and his warped view of Scientology. From Radar:
“Katie did not want Tom making all the decisions in Suri’s life, and that’s what was going on. She decided it was high time she started deciding on what was best for her daughter, or at least having an equal say, and she knew that would be impossible if she remained Mrs. Tom Cruise.”
And remember this magazine cover for Tom’s ‘Rock of Ages’?:
Apparently the shoot put a really, really bad taste in Katie’s mouth. Sources said that Katie was “speechless” with disgust. And man. I could not agree more. It’s high time that Katie got up and out of this sham of a marriage and moved on with her life—as a semi-talented woman with a big heart and a knack for being a present and in-the-moment mother.
good for her! I hope she get full custody of Suri than maybe she cane have a semi normal childhood.
I’m glad she finally got the stars out of her eyes and can see what the future was going to become with the fake jumping on the couch guy.
Man, this divorce is going to get UGLY! It will be the custody battle from Hell! I just heard that Tom filed for divorce in California.
I think she’s actually fighting for sole legal custody, which is a lot more surprising than if it was sole physical custody. She wants to be the only one making decisions about Suri’s upbringing.
I think it has more to do with some closet somewhere and something about gerbils, male masseuses, and John Travolta. The details are murky…
I can already tell I’m going to become incredibly obsessed with this whole thing. Tom’s going to get some pretty serious lawyers. I don’t think poor Katie knows whats she’s in for. I get that ‘American Psycho’ vibe from him a liiiittle too much and my guess is, he’s absolutely flipping out at the moment.
She really ought to do a I love Lucy type family style show on TV with that very expressive face, timid but nice and strong personality.. and not worry about becoming a gigantic Oscar or Broadway Tony winner.. reel in the piles of loot, grow very popular and enjoy her life with Suri..
I fucking love Katie Holmes, always have. Good on you girl, and more power to ya
This chick made her bed and freaked when she was told to lie in it. She married this loser for money and the hopes of fame…she has ZERO acting talent. How else was she going to become famous if not by marrying Tom Cruise? She knew he was a Scientologist from the get-go. So she either researched the religion and was fucking stupid enough to go along with it anyways, or she didn’t look into it at all, which makes her just as stupid.
