Tom Cruiseâ€™s lawyer blasts mental illness claims

Bert Fields, Tom Cruises’ lawyer has responded with anger after TV doctor Drew Pinsky questioned the star’s mental illness for joining the Church of Scientology. In an article written for Playboy magazine Dr Pinksy, a regular on US TV, suggested Tom decision to join the controversial church could be due to mental illness and wrote, “Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.” Needless to says Mr Fields, is not happy, not happy at all. “This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them.” He told the New York Post. “He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from (Nazi propaganda chief) Joseph Goebbels.”
