thank you my friend @ClaireHeadley for your courage.
You have continued to speak in spite of Scientology’s constant onslaught.
And as Claire says in her post below, Tom Cruise knows what’s going on in Scientology.

In a post directed toward Top Gun: Maverick fans, Claire Headley called out Tom Cruise’s “crime against humanity” and put forth a question about when the actor last spoke with his daughter, Suri. Sharing the post, actress Leah Remini wrote, “Don’t let the star charm of the film fool you.”
Netizens immediately took to the comments section to react to this. “Sometimes, he plays in front of the camera like a very nice and thoughtful person. Other times, he displays his true self by jumping on the couch, calling people “glibs”, yelling at his crew and calling them mofos. My gut tells me, he is not what he looks like,” wrote one user.

When I saw what he did to Kate Holmes and how he literally had to plan for himself and his daughters to escape from her and his scientific cult and control… I lost all respect for Tom Cruise. I will not support him at all by watching his movies and contributing to his net worth.

Yay Claire, I’ll never see another Tom Cruise movie, but I really haven’t seen in a long time. I texted him when he attacked Brooke Shields and then continued hearing horrible things about him.

However, many other Tom Cruise fans supported the actor and his film Top Gun: Maverick.
I am not a fan of this religion but the movie was really good. One of his best performances and film in no time. With that being said, let’s be honest. You joined Scientology because of big names like Tom Cruise and John Travolta. They didn’t force you to join.

Not taking one side or the other, but if it’s about Top Gun: Maverick, in all seriousness, if I based what I see on the personal lives of every actor, director, movie studio… I would like 99% of movies. Doesn’t watch theatres, TV shows, etc.
It was a very cool movie. pic.twitter.com/xtnKwEG6kq

I understand but it also gives employment to a lot of people. I can separate the man from work. I was also a staff member in LA.

I don’t care if any actor is Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc etc…. This is an entertainment industry and not a faith based group.
