Cruise to Shields -- I Acted Like a Jerk
Cruise to Shields -- I Acted Like a Jerk
Posted Sep 2nd 2006 11:03AM by TMZ Staff
That must've been awkward: Tom Cruise went to Brooke Shields' house on Thursday and apologized for slamming her use of antidepressants. Shields says that she thinks the apology was "heartfelt," but Cruise still maintains that antidepressants are evil.
On an appearance on the "Tonight Show" last night, Shields told Jay Leno that Cruise "came over to my house, and he gave me a heartfelt apology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened." Shields added that she was "impressed" with the "Mission: Impossible 3" star's sincerity, and that Cruise was able to restrain himself from proselytizing about the evils of psychoactive pharmaceuticals.
Not that Cruise has changed his mind: According to his rep, who confirmed the apology, Cruise "has not changed his position about antidepressants, which as evidenced by the black label warnings issued by the FDA on these types of drugs, are unhealthy."

Honestly, I think he is just trying to do damage control. His image has gone done the toilet.

I dont think it was a bad idea that he did what he did. Brooke did not deserve to be targeted. He is certainly entitled to his feelings about anti-depressants. HOWEVER, if he continued to vocalize this disapproval, he would have alienated his entire fan base. Id love to do a poll on how many Tom Cruise fans have either taken anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds at one time or another.

I think a really good actor can make any apology seem sincere. I also think he's doing damage control.

He's probably doing it because he knows that she knows there is no Suri (since they both delivered on the same day). His world is closing in on him

He should issue a public apology to her; the same way he maligned her.
