The karma train is making its way back to Top Gun star Tom Cruise, this time with his estranged daughter, Suri Cruise, driving the train. The 18-year-old daughter of Tom and Katie Holmes is standing her ground regarding who she chooses to allow in her life, and it looks like she has kicked her dad and half-siblings out of her life.
Let’s consider the decision, which was likely not all that difficult for Suri, given that Tom has had little to zero contact with her for the past 12 years. Sources close to the Cruise family claim that Suri has always been the odd one out since her parent’s divorce, a situation she has navigated with resilience.
Tom Cruise has kept a close relationship with his adopted children with his former wife, Nicole Kidman, because Connor and Isabella Cruise, like their father, are members of the Church of Scientology. However, since Katie and Suri did not follow the same path, Suri has been shunned from the family. Now Suri is turning the tables on her family by erasing them from her life and claiming “they do not exist’ to her any longer, according to the Daily Mail.
However, after Tom ditched his daughter’s high school graduation to party with his friends at the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in London, it looks to have been the last straw for Suri. As a strong message to her absent father, Suri dropped his last name during the ceremony instead and used her mom’s middle name, Noelle.
Suri Cruise Shuts Down Tom Cruise’s Plans To Lure Her Into Scientology
According to former Scientology member Leah Remini, she believes Tom Cruise had high hopes of luring Suri Cruise into Scientology once she turned 18. “I’m sure [Cruise’s] master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother,” claimed actress Remini.
“Tom has proven over and over again that his No. 1 loyalty is to [his religion] and David Miscavige,” Tony Ortega, an expert on Tom’s faith, tells In Touch. “Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer. He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything.” They continued, “She feels that she has one parent, and that is her mother.”
Despite her strained relationship with her father, Suri Cruise is ready to forge ahead with her life. This fall, she will embark on a new chapter at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she will study art and design. Her decision to distance herself from her father is entirely her own, but she knows she can always rely on her mother’s unwavering support.
