It seems that Tom Cruise’s controversial past is back to haunt the actor. With ties to the Church of Scientology, Cruise became notoriously infamous back in the early 90s and the 2000s. Slowly over the years, the actor stopped preaching about the Church of Scientology and the matter was put to rest.

“I think that Leah will call Tom to be a witness. She claims that she was abused after his wedding, so why wouldn’t she call him? He’s a part of this.”

In her statement, Lah Remini called Cruise the “second in command” at the Church of Scientology. If the court case gains traction, this thing could turn out very bad for Cruise’s Hollywood career as he had faced a similar situation back in the 90s.
