‘Happy Birthday, Tom! Suri and I will just be on the other side of the country having a blast. Without you.’ – Katie Holmes.
Katie Holmes spoke in public for the first time since announcing she was grabbing Suri and getting as far away from Tom Cruise and his batshit, scientologist ideals as possible.
‘I’m all right,’ were the words she said to the New York Daily News when they caught her and Suri grocery shopping.
Katie and Suri went out for ice cream on Tom’s birthday, and basically Katie looked as happy as I’ve seen her since she was Joey Potter and was returning from a summer on the boat with Pacey:
Suck it, Tom. Take the $75 million you made last year and shove it up scientology’s ass.
Aside from that, TMZ said that one of the reasons Katie left was because she didn’t want Suri being interrogated by scientologists. Oh, and it’s a conscious decision I’m making to not give them capitals, by the way. Grammar can be malicious.
From TMZ:
Sources close to Katie tell TMZ, back in 2005 she had witnessed Tom’s other kids participating in a Scientology ritual she found to be troubling … and feared Tom would drag Suri through the same process.
Ex-Scientologists call the process “sec checking.” Here’s the way it works. The subject holds electrode handles on a device called an e-meter and is then asked a series of personal questions that help the Church locate “areas of spiritual distress.”
Some ex-Scientologists claim the questions include:
– What has somebody told you not to tell?
– Have you ever decided you did not like some member of your family?
– Have you ever bullied a smaller child?
– Have you ever lied to a teacher?
– Have you ever done something you were very much ashamed of?
– Have you ever refused to obey an order from someone you should obey?
– Have you ever gotten yourself dirty on purpose?During the process, a person called an “auditor” collects e-meter readings.
Several ex-Scientologists have come out against “sec checking,” claiming it’s a mild form of psychological terrorism designed, in part, to get children to report on their parents.
We’re told Katie would have none of it and it is one of the reasons she broke from the Church and ultimately Tom.
That’s some fucked up shit.
