Tom Cruise finally admitted that Katie Holmes left him because of Scientology! Now let's be clear, that's not the only reason, but he finally admits that, yes, it did play a part.
Cruise is suing Bauer Publishing for $50 million over a story in In Touch magazine that accused him of “abandoning” his now 7-year-old daughter. In a Sept. 9 deposition, taken in Los Angeles, (a transcript of which was filed publicly), Cruise was questioned by Bauer's lawyer about a number of topics, including the role Scientology played in his divorce.
Cruise said Suri is no longer practicing the religion. When questioned about whether Holmes left him to “protect” Suri from Scientology, Cruise said, “I find that question offensive. ... There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion.” But asked whether Holmes left him in part for that reason, Cruise said, “that was one of the assertions, yes. ... There are many other aspects to the divorce.”
Cruise was asked about Scientology's definition of a “suppressive person,” which, according to the church's website, refers to people who publicly renounce Scientology and therefore lose “fellowship with the Church as well as with other Scientologists.” Cruise called the description accurate. When asked whether the church would consider Holmes to be a suppressive person, he said, “That is a distortion and simplification of the matter. I don't want to just give an oversimplification of religious doctrine.”

Katie Holmes is busy bonding with her cute daughter in Cape Town while her dad vigorously defending his relationship with his offspring. The mother and daughter enjoyed the sunny South African weather at the Two Oceans Aquarium in the city. Katie, who is currently in South Africa to filming scenes for movie The Giver, opted for some casual clothes which made her blend in with her fellow tourists.
