Hearing a wealthy actor with enormous power address his team in this way is a sign of weakness. “, sentenced the actress.
“He seems to think that Hollywood is incapable of making movies without his help. Saying such a thing indicates the divine figure that Tom thinks he is, and what Scientology makes him believe he is, ”Remini continued in his text against the actor. “The reality is that anyone who is working in Hollywood today works under strict anticovid guidelines. Anyone who is working knows it ”. And he sentenced: “Tom Cruise doesn’t dictate how movies are made, even if he seems to think so. “
