Dr. Drew said Tom Cruise's interest in Scientology grew out of a deep emptiness caused by childhood neglect. Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields slammed Drew, comparing his comments to the rantings of Joseph Goebbels. Now Drew has apologized to Cruise.
"Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful," said a rep for Mr. Pinsky. "Although Mr. Fields's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm."
Again, Scientology wins.
