IMDb: Shields Attacks Cruise For Criticizing Her Drug Use

Actress Brooke Shields has lambasted former pal Tom Cruise for criticizing her "misguided" use of drugs to combat her post-natal depression. Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - recently attacked the Suddenly Susan star for becoming dependant on Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan. But Shields is disgusted by the Top Gun star's "dangerous" comments and took a swipe at his Scientology beliefs, by saying she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to creatures from outer space. She fumes, "His comments are dangerous. He should stick to saving the world from aliens." Shields is currently weaning herself off her medication so she and husband Chris Henchy can have another child.

Tom Cruise has credibility when speaking about the movie making business, but he should be very careful in speaking about things in which he is not an expert (especially when it comes to such serious matters).

It was tacky and irresponsible for him to share his opinion as fact and condemnation of someone whose shoes he hasn't been in.
