IF it turns out that Tom is not Suri's biological father then it only makes sense that he already knows he isn't and has known from the very beginning. In this case, yes Katie would get the sympathy and not Tom. It would mean that Tom decided the lie was better for his own image since it has been out for a while now that apparently he can not have children and may in fact be gay. Add into the mix the entire Scientology mess and then there will be even more sympathy for Katie and Suri.
Tom and the higher ups in Scientology know (or at least they should know if they are as intelligent as they claim) that they can not go full force after Katie. It will ruin the whole lot of them. As Steely said and has been pointed out in the article that Steely brought to us, the best thing for Tom to do is to give Katie anything and everything she wants and to do so without alot of publicity. The "church" may think they have a boatload of things to blackmail Katie with, but I have a feeling Katie has even more on them.
MOO
Bolded by me respectfully.
My own husband is not the biological father of his youngest child by his first marriage. He hasn't had a DNA test done but he is certain as well as his exwife that she is another man's child biologically.
The child was "born within the marriage" and as such is his legal child.
They divorced when the child was a little over a year old. He paid child support for that child for 17 years.
He has not addressed this with the (now adult) child even to this date is currently undecided if he will or if he will not~ because he has no clue who the father could be and is fairly sure that the child's mother doesn't know either.
That choice was done to protect the child. Someone had to step up and be that child's father. Tom Cruise may be a jack@ss but *if* he is not Suri's biological father and he *chose* to be her father I'm not going to gig him for that.
He appears to be unbalanced, and he also appears to be arrogant. But I only know what I've seen in the media about him. 1. Children aren't taken away from loving parents (and I haven't seen anything that shows Tom to be an unloving parent) because the parent is unbalanced (trust me, my husband's ex was diagnosed with mental illness and there was never a question of that being used to take away custody from her) and 2. Children aren't removed from a parent because of religious practices that aren't proven to have brought harm to a child.
I don't like Scientology. As for Katie, I don't see this as black and white. There are two sides to every story. I'm sure Tom is a douche but I've read things in the past that she's not such a sweetheart either.
This is about Suri.
Also, if he's gay or straight it has no bearing on anything. If he's gay he is gay. It's his choice to come out if he wants or to keep his private life private.
Not fussing at you Tori'smom just chatting.
