Lately, people have been wondering even more about Tom Cruise’s relationship with his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes. Many theorized he even went as far as to leave the Church of Scientology after 40 years to bond with her, but that was quickly disproven during his elaborate entrance to the UK base. Just as many thought that was the end of it, but Leah Remini’s latest comment shows Tom may be actively thinking of other ways to bond with his daughter, all through Scientology.

In new court documents obtained by the New York Post, former Scientologist and Troublemaker author Leah Remini revealed she was allegedly made to “raise money for Scientology causes led by Tom Cruise,” specifically that she was “forced to donate money to name a seat in a Scientology auditorium after Suri Cruise.”

(These claims come from her defamation suit against the controversial Church, and these specific claims about being forced to donate happened after she questioned where Shelly Miscavige, the wife of church leader David Miscavige, who has not been seen in public for over 15 years, was at Tom and Holmes’s wedding).

For those who don’t know, Holmes welcomed Suri, now 17 years old, on April 18, 2006, with her ex-husband Tom.

This news also comes after Marca resurfaced her 2020 claims that she believes Tom has a “master plan to wait until Suri gets older so that he can lure her into Scientology and away from her mother.”
