When Alex Gibney's film Going Clear premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, much of the subsequent news coverage focused on revelations by former Church of Scientology executive Mark "Marty" Rathbun that the church actively "drove a wedge" between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, helping to end their relationship. Rathbun said that Scientology leader David Miscavige had even helped propel that breakup by ordering Kidman's phone to be tapped, and the organization also worked to have Tom and Nicole's adopted children, Isabella and Connor, turn away from their mother.

If the Church of Scientology was so active helping to break up Tom Cruise's second marriage, how involved were they in ending his first, to actress Mimi Rogers?
