Dr. Drew vs. Tommy
And the battle is on!
No one messes with Tom Cruise. At least that's what he thinks!
Tommy boy just had his lawyers go after Dr. Drew Pinsky.
What'd the Celebrity Rehab host do to piss off the high holy one of Scientology????
Apparently, Dr. Drew compared Tom's mental health to that of a Nazi's. Ha!
Dr. Drew's comments are from an article published in next month's Playboy magazine, where the doc states:
"A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."
Well, isn't that the general idea behind why people join cults? What's the big deal, it's just his professional opinion.
However, Cruise's lawyers, probably Scientologists themselves, have fired back stating, "This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels."
How is a psychiatrist unqualified again?
Scientologists blamed psychiatry for crimes and even believe it was created by the Nazis.
In 1982, Scientology cult leader creator L. Ron Hubbard even called psychiatrists murders and said they “destroyed every great civilization to date." Adding that "the majority of psychiatrists maim and kill their patients and, by record, in all history have only worsened mental conditions. After all, that's what they seem to be paid to do by the government."
Looks like someone needed a psychiatrist!
This probably explains why Scientologists always try to eradicate psychiatry and are completely against any and all psychiatric drugs.
And speaking of Nazis, we still think Tom's latest flick, Valkyrie, where he plays a Nazi, is totally going to bomb!
Sequins, Sequins, Sequins!
Together…Again….Again
i despise scientologists..crazies!
team drew!
TEAM DR. DREW!! Tom is a nutcase.
Tom Cruise is CRAZY
FIRST!
I sincerely hope Scientology drops any action against Dr. Drew. After all the man is trying, and is doing good work. If Dr. Drew winds up with a Defense Pac I will contribute to it.
freak
LOCO
.
HAHAHA!!! I LOVE DR.DREW!!
.
l. ron is my great grandpa and i still hate them
i'm confused as to how scientologists think they are the only ones who know anything about anything in this world. how did man evolve without them? how did they invent the wheel? poor tom. the more he opens his mouth, the crazier he seems. just shut it already.
FIRST
Tell it like it is Drew…TEAM DREW ALL THE FUCKIN WAY..Tom is a sick fuck.
ff
uh oh :O
Tom Cruise is cool!
=0
nuts!
FIRST!!!! Shout from San Antonio, TEXAS…..FUCK TOM CRUISE!!!!
I don't think Dr. Drew Pinsky can help an already fucked up individual like TOM CRUISE!!!!
yum
Everything Pinsky said about Scientologists could also be said about people who subscribe to more mainstream religions.
really?? if they weren't dimwitted, they would know that dr. drew, is not JUST a television personality, he is a TRUE doctor…certified, the works. personally, i really admire the man.
god, tommyboy if you're gonna send your goons after people, at least make sure they've got the right information…
Tom Cruise is not a good enemy to have. He sorta scares me, actually come to think of it all midgets scare me!
Tom fuse is plain nuts. His older adopted children cant even live with him- they live with his sister a few miles away. KOOK!!
hes crazy!
gay!!
gay!
Isn't it better to put your adversaries on the run than to dwell on your own issues?
That said, Scientology is really no different than many current organized religions: Compel people to believe your version of the truth is the best, Suck their finances dry while tying their sense of self worth to the organization's beliefs and decry them as lost when they try to break loose.
And by the way, am I the only one that remembers that Tom and Nicole adopted because neither could have children? HMMMMM
Dr. Drew is totally right! There's a reason people fall in with cults…
Tom Cruise's career is over. He needs to just retire.
Scientology is a cult and it really didn't seem like Dr. Drew was saying anything but comments that showed concern for TC's obvious crazy behavior.
fag
Dr. Drew isn't a psychiatrist. Also, as much as it pains me to agree with Tom's hounds, it is incredibly unprofessional of Dr. Drew to be diagnosing people that he hasn't met. I have an MS in Psychology and I can tell you that my colleagues and I agree that Dr. Drew is pretty much a worthless fame-whore who doesn't have the first clue about mental illness.
That being said, Tom Cruise is a douche.
What matters here is that Tom Cruise is going to be back on the big screen this summer with a MEGA hit!
It's been awhile Tom but after getting married to your dear and very beautiful wife Katie, plus having an even more beautiful daughter Suri, many of us, your fans, are looking forward to watching you again.
Don't worry about what the magazines write. What matters is what you think.
Randal
Freaky
He needs a psychiatrist… really
Re: skipp – then how did she get knocked up
we are ANONYMOUS, we are going to bring down scientology….Tom cruise is a douche.
Perez,
Dr. Drew didn't compare Tom to the Nazis; tom cruises lawyer compared Dr. Drew to a Nazi.
Um, first, Dr. Drew is a physician, not a psychiatrist as you noted, Perez. Second, isn't it funny how Tom's people say that he is a "TV performer" and "unqualified"..
Methinks about the time when Tom said he knew depression, psychiatry and all about meds.. LOL He called Matt Lauer GLIB. Fucking tool.
So, yeah, Dr. Drew and I worked together years ago in Pasadena and also at KROQ. I think he is the man and is my role model. =)
Go Dr. Drew! Tellin' it like it is… Where's the harm in that?
tommygirl better not mess with dr. drew i love him. i just hope he doesn't go missing after this comment.
I love you Tommy!….take me to XENU!
didn't l ron say that he grew up with some indian chiefs and he;s an honorary native american, oh wait thats a lie, like so many others that he had said. this man was INSANE.
i dont think that this case will have legs, it will be thrown out before they all even sit down.
why they always have to send their "lawyers" when something is said about them? dont they realize they look even more stupid?? i hope dr. drew doesnt get intimidated and issue an "apology" later… fuck tom cruse and all those crazy numbnut scientologists!
Sounds like those scietologists are being a tad bit hypocritical don't you think….
Psychiatrists usually choose that career path because they are imbalanced to begin with, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Dr. Drew probably suffered from neglect himself as a child. What an ass. I'm on team Cruise for this one.
Ask a scientologist about why Ron L Hubbard committed suicide! They NEVER talk about that, OR how Bill W the author of Alcoholics Anonymous was a sex addict! I'm sure these cults work for some people, but not for people who can actually think for themselves
yeah perez i agree that movie will most def BOMB.
toms wacko!
Psych drugs are way over prescribed, but I sure don't want a bunch of schizophrenics and psycotics walking around without their meds
Go Dr. Drew! It's excellent watching Tom Cruise's career sputter into oblivion! Serves the smug little cult member twit right!
That is INSANE like tom …Levae Dr Drew is one of the only people that is trying to HELP these insane, drug addicts in hollywood….
Hubbardites really have thin skin don't they? I mean, if they have Xenu on their side, they shouldn't be so concerned with what people say about their cult.
Notice how they try and denigrate and reduce Dr Drew as some 'tv' doctor.
Fucking bat shit insane, the lot of the scientologists.
THAT IS SO RIDICULOUS! i used to see a psychiatrist during rough times and it DEF helped me hands down. scientologists are absolutely insane!
I'm not a fan of organized religion at all, but those living in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. As a gay man, you shouldn't be so ready and willing to discriminate against something that you truly are just not understanding. And if Tom is somehow unstable or a nazi of all things (that I personally find it VERY offensive to compare him to) just for being happy and jumping on a couch, label me guilty of insanity also.
Scientology is no more a cult than Christianity.
Tom Cruise and "his people" are nuts. I won't watch another movie of his EVER.
And for you knuckleheads doubting Dr. Drew's education, do a search. He's much more educated than you think.
I definately side myself with a qualified DOCTOR Drew on this one.
Scientology needs to be outlawed.
Dr. Drew WAS out of line armchair diagnosing without having talked to Cruise, IMHO, so I can see why the fight is on here, but why WOULD Tom join a group that fits every criterion of a cult? Why WOULD he stay in one? He seems so very bright.
Watch out, if you badmouth the Scientologists they'll come after you.
Dr. Drew did NOT compare Tom Cruise to a Nazi - Tom's lawyer, Bert Fields, compared Dr. Drew to the Nazis because he was pissed Dr. Drew said something negative about Tom. Take a few minutes and get it right next time.
You made a bit of a misprint there. Dr. Drew didn't call Tom a nazi, he just called $cientology a cult and said that likely Tom was neglected. Tom's LAWYER called Dr. Drew a nazi. Big difference there.
If L RON HUBBARD would have encouraged his son to see a psychiatrist maybe L RON HUBBARD'S
SON WOULD NOT HAVE KILL HIMSELF……
Re: MICHA –
that was pretty freakin' funny
TOM, COME OUT OF THE CLOSET, EVERYONE KNOWS ALREADY!!
Praise Dr. Drew!
I am confused, Tom's Lawyers compared Pinsky to Goebbels? A man who was in charge of Nazi Propoganda and who decieded filming dying Jews was an awesome Idea? Seems to me that there morons, no one should ever compare anyone to him. They should have to call ever Haulocaust survivor and apologize!
Tom is a crazy nut bag and scientology is a horrible thing those people are nutts…thats why them and tom are one…what a freak!~
i want to know why the scientologists were reading playboy in the first place
Scientology is just a bunch of crazy extremists. Maybe not as extreme as Nazis (as nazis try to exterminate living beings) to denounce something as valuable as phsychiatry is awful and I hope those RICH OVER PRIVLIDGED followers remember that mental health is something they ought to obtain. and soon!
team drew.
Everyday 2 times a day I drive past a place called BRIDGE PUBLICATIONS.
I was POSITIVE it was some sort of Cult, as a couple evenings a week there are 20-30 young people 17-25ish, standing around out front.
ALL DRESSED EXACTLY THE SAME MALE AND FEMALE.
A quick google'ing revealed my suspicions to be true –
BRIDGE PUBLICATIONS IN BELL CALIFORNIA — PRINTS ALL SCIENTOLOGY MATERIALS!!
These poor children and their slave masters
The problem with Tom Cruise isn't that he's crazy. Crazy is fine. The problem is that he's ANNOYING, IRRITATING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, CREEPY and belongs to one the most ridiculous cults/religions in the world.
L Ron Hubbard was the biggest nut case of them all. It is a fact they found a psyciatric drug in his system when he did. He loved to manipulate people, was a sociopath, and just an all around mean bastard.
I would not apy 1 cent to see Tom Cruise do anything. I think he has little man syndrome.
The Nazi movie w/ T Cruise will totally suck, and everyone knows it. That's if they EVER even bother to release it.
Maybe he fell off the couch one to many times………
tommy is a lunatic… he needs to be committed… NOW
Couple things. This is not my area of expertise, but I'm pretty sure for Tom to succeed in a defamation action, he would have to show that Dr. Pinsky does not have a good faith basis for his statements. I' m guessing that Tom's public acts along with Dr. Pinsky's medical qualification (board certified internist, I believe, but still medical qualifications) would arguably provide such a basis. I think Tom's claim would fail.
Also, Cruise looks a little full around the mid-section in that pic. Crazy crubby nazi-tologist.
I am glad that only two people noticed the gross misprint in this blog. Dr. Drew didn't compare Tom to a Nazi….Tom's attorney compared Dr. Drew to a Nazi propagandist.
Tommy playing a nazi?! what's next? Perez having a relationship with a woman?! HA!! One of the requirements to being a Nazi, Tom, is having blond hair. You could pass for a jew, Yes, but a nazi, NOT A CHANCE!
Re: takey – thank you.
THE REASON SCIENTLOGISTS HATE PSYCHIATRISTS IS, WHEN THEY ARE DONE BRAIN WASHING PEPOLE, PHYCHIATRISTS MAY BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE BACK TO REALITY!!!AND PHYCHIATRISTS SEE RIGHT THROUGH THEIR BULLSHIT!! THEY ARE A HUGE THREAT TO A CULT!!
They don't believe in psychiatrists? That explains why Lafayette Ronald Hubbard died in a psychotic state; oh and with a psychotic drug in his system. His doc had given him the drug Vistaril by injection in a non-hospital setting.Witnesses testified that Hubbard died acting like a raving lunatic. Oh, while he was a raving loonie, he was able to change his will the day before he died. That's mighty convenient for someone. I'm just saying. Google L.Ron Hubbard and you'll find out a lot of strange things about his death.
The only way to save your career is to expose scientology as a freaky cult. The world will appreciate this good deed and maybe we'll start watching your movies again. After that we can work on eliminating Christianity, Judaism and Islam and every other cult which bases its values on irrational and often hateful books (Bible, Quran, etc).
I am legit afraid of scientologists. I am more scared of them than terrorists and AIDS and Southern Baptists. The more I read about that cult (Operation Snow White, Operation Freakout) the more afraid I am for myself and loved ones.
Screw Dr. Pinsky. He treated one of my mom years ago when he was a real doctor while she was undergoing alcohol treatment at Las Encinas. She is having a tough time now and I called to get his input and help since he is the only doctor that my mom ever ever trusted. He's too busy with his tv show to help out. He couldn't even spend one minute with me even though he WAS her doctor before. All that matters is his fame and publicity. I am not a scientologist but its BS to call it a cult. Freedom of religion, remember?
I'M ON DR. DREW'S SIDE! and those tom cruise peeps should do their homework…Dr. Drew is an actual doctor not like dr. phil….fuckers!
The last time I checked, Americans have the right to FREE SPEECH. What the hell is happening in this country. Soon the Bill of Rights will be just a historical document tucked away in some crypt never to be used again. It makes me ill.
Tom Cruise is a litigious midget! Fuck him and his cult…
He is not going to save his career by suing everybody in town. First, baby store, second, Dr. Drew. It just convinces the audience that he is a short crazy prick who is obsessed with power that he can't stand anything that doesn't go his way. Anything doesn't go his way, he wants to destroy it, crush it, that's very Nazi!
.
What a Nazi boy! He doesn't allow people's freedom to have their opinions what so ever. He disgusts me! I don't want to see his movies.
.
He tries to soften his image by appearing on MTV or Oprah without talking about his crazy ideas. It's just damage control. But the damage is done. We all know what he really is like. He can't even hide it by acting mellow on TV because he is still a little jerk suing people for no good reason.
Boycott all $cientologists, all their projects, and all those who promote them. Your money will only end up in the hands of a very dangerous cult.
psychiatrists are stupid to call everyone mentally ill, they just wish people would all be like robots think an behave the same freaky
by the way psychiatry is dangerous, just read the mag TIME this month, they prsecribe drugs to US SOLDIERS when they're in war zones and may be responsible for the very high rate of suicide among those soldiers
lol, f'ing crazy ass scienretardologists. GO DR. DREW!!
From now on i'm not going to watch any movies with scienretardologists in them, I really hope f'ing valkyshit bombs.
Why did he make a movie about Nazi is bad?
.
Because he wants to convince you he is not a Nazi. He is afraid to be unpopular. He also always wants those jewish filmmakers and investors in Hollywood to like him.
.
It's not going to work! Tommy boy! You talk and act like a Nazi. Your movies suck and people hate you, no matter how hard to you suck up to jewish filmmakers and investors, they still can't stand you.
Did you even read the article Perez, you dumb fuck? Dr. Drew DID NOT compare Tom's health to the Nazi's. This is why worthless blogs like yours are so dangerous. Your moron readership reads the stupid BS you post and takes it as fact when in fact most of the shit you print has no basis in fact. The only good thing about your blog is that you can post here without moderation but that doesn't really matter when most of your readership is obviously lacking a basic high school education.
It's not surprising why a cult or it's leaders would be threatened by psychiatry. They wouldn't want their victims, who they have indoctrinated into their sick cult, to be reasoned with by someone who could help them see the truth so they would see they need to get away from those creeps. Cults are all about control.
Um…this might have already been said but I don't want to read all of the posts…
Perez got it turned around when he said that Dr. Drew compared Tom to a Nazi; Tom's rep compared Dr. Drew to a Nazi
Maybe the high rate of suicide is caused by the horror of being stuck in an endless war. Re: fff –
I HATE Nazis, but DAMN did they have sharp uniforms. But somehow, Cruise makes even THAT look like shit.
Re: fff – Maybe the high rate of suicide is caused by the horror of being stuck in an endless war
Ummm…..do his Scientolawyers know anything at all about Dr. Drew?? Crazy Cultists.
