The Legal Scare Tactic Sorta Worked

Dr. Drew Pinsky issued the following sort of apology to Tom Cruise on Thursday after raising questions about Tommy Boy’s mental health:

Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful. Although Mr. Fields’s (Cruise’s lawyer) intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm.

Dr. Drew sorta chickened out!

Way to go, Doc!
