Tom Cruise apologizes to Brooke Shields
After being fired from Paramount, it seems Tom Cruise is looking to do some damage control. Lucky (or unlucky?) for Brooke Shields, he has decided to start with her.
I’m sure we all remember the infamous “Today show incident” when Cruise told Matt Lauer that he disapproved of Shield’s use of medications to overcome the postpartum depression she battled after giving birth to her first child. Cruise, a devout Scientologist, preached that the actress should have used “vitamins and exercise.”
Shields shot back with a piece in the New York Times in which she wrote, “I’m going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression.”
Let’s just say that, despite giving birth on the same day this year, the two have not been chums.
Shields told Jay Leno on Friday 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. And through it all, I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was. And I didn’t feel at any time that I had to defend myself, nor did I feel that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that he was deeply sorry. And I accepted it.”

[...] Like Brooke Shields, Cox believes it is important to get help with postpartum depression. “Women have hormones. It’s not easy and as we get older, it gets harder. But there’s ways to deal with it and stay in balance. I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with therapy. Postnatal depression can be devastating. Luckily, I was able to get through it.” [...]
