I don't think Tom Cruise is a violent man, the cult may have tried to implant him with thought of violent behavior so they could use it against him if need be and claimed to have cured him of this behavior, but that's about it. In fact who knows what is real and what is fantasy in someones's PC folder, when they are intentionally hypnotized and fed suggestions for hundreds if not thousands of hours
It looks like maybe this is starting to make rounds on the celebrity news circuit.

Yeah. That one is just naughty sensationalism, latching onto Marty's innuendo and making more of it than was there in the original. Marty's a smart guy — he must have known this would happen out in tabloid land.

It’s a fine line we tread and I stated that from the beginning of the article. Hence my usage of a question mark. Marty brings up the matter, I point it out and now it’s up to the powers that be to disclose the truth. That’s journalism folks.

There are fighters, there are observers and there are critics.
For some of the latter...

I am honestly not that sure. After stating:I don't think anyone's saying he's violent
Marty goes on to state:I am a person who helps many people who have been abused by David Miscavige.
That includes someone you know personally, Mike Rinder, whom I witnessed Miscavige savagely beat on at least a dozen occasions. Bert, I am not talking about an isolated incident. I am referring to more than a dozen incidents wherein David Miscavige performed aggravated assault on the same person you and your lovely wife dined with at the Celebrity Center. Three witnesses to this type of activity on Miscavige’s part corroborated me a series of articles published in the St. Petersburg Times 21-23 June. You can view that multi-media presentation at the following link.
The parallel use of the word "abused" in both quotes might lead one to believe that Marty is asserting that, just as DM allegedly engaged in physical abuse, TC also allegedly engaged in physical abuse.I have also counseled people who were abused by Tom personally – in matters that eerily resemble the behavior of Miscavige– to give Tom the time to get educated and do the right thing which I have convinced them he ultimately will do.
...
The woman who refers to Nicole Kidman as a "raving bitch" should disclose what timeframe that was. Think it's when she had decided she'd had enough of the cult and that maybe she would have to agree to leave her children behind? That would turn most people into a raving bitch, right??
...
Exactly. Also, I wouldn't be so sure knowing it was coming from a scientologist. I have heard all sort of criticism spread with the purpose to DA someone leaving the group. They have to explain out with DA material why a person leave, because people ask. I was told by an OT scientologist that Nicole was having an affair and that's why Tom left her.
I think if Marty was hoping to endear himself to Tom Cruise, perhaps he could have selected a better word than "plummet" when referring to Tom's image & career :confused2:

I am secretly wishing that Marty is getting legal advice from Katie's father Martin, who is an attorney. Marty's letter almost smacks of a desperate father picking a fight legally & anonymously with the mighty TC & DM in order to get his daughter & granddaughter rescued from a cult
From Marty's letter “I have also counseled people who were abused by Tom personally – in matters that eerily resemble the behavior of Miscavige – to give Tom the time to get educated and do the right thing which I have convinced them he ultimately will do.”
Why are we assuming it was physical abuse ... Miscavige apparently does a fair amount of verbal abusing too and that is far more likely to be what Marty was 'mentioning' IMHO.
Tom Cruise is a lot of things, but he is certainly not silly and I doubt very much he would have physically abused anyone.
