Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage may have looked like the picture of perfection from the outside, but insiders say the couples' troubles were nothing new, stemming at least in part from Cruise's commitment to Scientology.

"She was never truly comfortable with the Scientology thing," a source close to Holmes told E! News. "It was something she accepted and put up with for many years because it was important to Tom, and for that reason, important to her. But over the past year, they had started to see things differently, and she was beginning to pull away."

"It wasn't that she was against Scientology," the source continued. "She wasn't at all. She definitely saw its benefit, but she also didn't want it to be her everything, and for Tom, in some ways, it was. She wanted more freedom to make her own decisions."

But it appears Scientology wasn't the couple's only area of conflict.

Another source, who was close with Holmes when she first started dating the Rock of Ages star, said Holmes' personality changed significantly during their marriage…and not in a good way.

"She gave up everything to be with him," the source said. "When she met him, she stopped seeing all her friends and being the normal girl that she was before.She truly adored him. He made her feel like all she needed in her life was him. Everything she had to say was ‘Tom this,' ‘Tom that.' It wasn't like she was in the first flush of love, when you can't stop talking about someone, it was past that point. It was as if he controlled her in a way just because she had barely anyone else in her life but him, and almost no one her own age.
沪江娱乐快讯:好莱坞女星凯蒂·赫尔姆斯(Katie Holmes)于美国时间上周四,单方面申请与巨星老公汤姆·克鲁斯(Tom Cruise)离婚!凯蒂在离婚书中以“难以弥补的分歧”为由申请离婚,她在文件中要求向克鲁斯索取物业及赡养费,更要求单独抚养6岁女儿苏瑞(Suri)。其代表律师前日发声明,指离婚是凯蒂与家庭的私事,而她首要关注的永远都是女儿的利益。

而对于两人离婚的原因则众说纷纭,据知凯蒂不想女儿长大后跟随父亲成为科学教教徒才决心离婚,也有指她厌倦被科学教及大男人的克鲁斯控制,故决定与他一刀两断。凯蒂被指当年年少无知才被克鲁斯吸引,至现时成熟后,不愿意自己及女儿成为克鲁斯的牺牲品;也有传她不甘被标签为“汤嫂”,希望专心发展自己的演艺事业。

【山达基教】

传导致凯蒂决心离婚的科学教派又名山达基教(Scientology),由美国作家L.Ron Hubbard于1952年创办,教义主张另类疗法,劝病患不要在医院治疗,更曾发生教徒绝食致死的个案,有前信徒还声称被教派用精神控制手段“洗脑”!

克鲁斯是超级忠实的科学教教徒,有传凯蒂诞下苏瑞时被迫遵守教义“无声分娩”,即使再痛也不能叫喊,让孩子在寂静的环境来到世上。
