Leah Remini: Tom Cruise Personally Punished Fellow Scientologists November 21, 2018,
In the acclaimed documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, a number of accusations were made against Tom Cruise, the Church of Scientology's most famous member.
According to Marty Rathbun, a high-ranking Scientologist and sometime enforcer, "I was to facilitate the breakup with Nicole Kidman." In the film, Rathbun alleged the church took a number of measures to convince Cruise to cut ties with his then-wife, a non-believer, including wiretapping her phone, "auditing" Cruise day and night, and "re-educating" their adopted children so they would turn against Kidman. Cruise ultimately split from Kidman in 2001, and was awarded the church's highest honor, the Freedom Medal of Valor, in 2004.
Cruise is also best friends with Scientology's controversial leader David Miscavige, who served as Cruise's best man during his 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.
