Kidman – Cruise’s ex-wife – was never a member of Scientology, and the Church felt so threatened by the actress that it started watching her.
Much has been written and heard about Tom Cruise’s relationship with the Church of Scientology and how the sect defines the lives of its members. ‘
His first wife, Mimi Rogers, introduced him to Scientology 30 years ago, and he has been a member ever since – and now a senior. “Without her I wouldn’t be where I am,” the Hollywood star has said in the past.
Stories of how the Church has affected the actor’s personal relationships and family life have come to light from time to time – culminating in his divorce from Katie Holmes and the custody battle over their daughter Suri.
Now, former Scientology official Mike Ryder, in his new book A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology, reveals how the cult managed to separate Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman time when they were a couple and they were filming the movie “Eyes Hermetically Closed”.
Kidman – Cruise’s ex-wife – was never a member of Scientology, and the Church felt so threatened by the actress that it started watching her.
According to Ryder, the famous couple was in London for a shoot, and Cruise for some time did not answer the calls of the leader of the cult, David Miscavige. Alarms were then raised as the sect feared it would lose its famous member.
So she sent a top Scientologist to Britain to talk to the actor and “bring him back” into the fold.

According to the book’s author, Cruise eventually returned to Scientology, which caused the crisis in his relationship with Nicole Kidman and their eventual separation.
For its part, the Church of Scientology denies the claims, telling Page Six that “Ryder is a liar who seeks profit through lies.”
However, according to reports, members of Scientology must distance themselves from any friend, family member or colleague who distracts them from it.
