Tom Cruise has criticized Hollywood pal Brooke Shields' "misguided" use of the anti-depressant Paxil, while declaring the actress' career as over.
In an interview with Billy Bush on TV's "Access Hollywood" to be screened on Thursday, Cruise speaks of his disappointment to learn Shields used Paxil to fight post-natal depression following the birth of her daughter Rowan.
Shields is currently weaning herself off her medication so she and husband Chris Henchy can have another child.
Cruise says actress should have used vitamins to help her feelings of despair.
Cruise says, "Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman. You look at, where has her career gone?"
Cruise maintains, "These drugs are dangerous. I have actually helped people come off.
"When you talk about postpartum, you can take people today, women, and what you do is you use vitamins. There is a hormonal thing that is going on, scientifically, you can prove that. But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.
"You can use vitamins to help a woman through those things."
I don't even care if he's correct (not that I really think he is). He's a MAN. Therefore he has no right to speak on this topic. Oh, and for the record, coming back from absolutely nothing for many years, and having a successful TV show for several years, and then dropping fame to have a baby and be a responsible parent, is where her career has gone.
Bloody moron.
What an asshat!
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't even open his mouth when the lines aren't scripted.
Help me visualize Tom Cruise. Is an "asshat" a hat you wear on your posterior, a hat for a donkey, or a hat that looks like one of the two?
ReplyDeleteHe's a tool.
ReplyDeleteI think, if I recall correctly, "asshat" was a morph of another offensive word created in an attempt not to offend a youngish offspring, but which inevitably served to offend said offspring anyway. I'm not sure there's a visual accompanyment. Unless that visual IS Tom Cruise.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, it's my new favorite word, that's for damn sure.
