A new book claims the Church of Scientology will do anything to keep Tom Cruise happy.
Former Scientology member, Mike Rinder, writes in his new book titled A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology that CruiseCruise, who at the time was married to Mimi Rogers, became infatuated with his co-star, Nicole Kidman, during the filming of Days of Thunder. Church leader David Miscavige “had been invited to Daytona, to watch the filming. He and his trusted lieutenant Greg Wilhere, now assigned as Cruise’s personal auditor, hung out with Cruise at the Speedway, went skydiving with him, and most importantly helped facilitate Cruise’s desire to make Nicole his new wife.”
Rinder wrote, “Miscavige no doubt saw this as an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to make Tom’s wishes come true.” The authoer claims that Wilhere was “assigned to get Mimi to agree to a divorce so Tom could marry Nicole,” and that this was “highly unusual and would never have happened with a normal Scientologist.”
Cruise and Rogers divorced in February 1990, and he married Kidman on Christmas Eve that same year.
