We all know that Tom Cruise doesn’t like doctors, modern medicine or people who are anti-Scientology, so after Dr. Drew Pinsky was quoted as saying the actor may have a mental illness, he threw his lawyers on it.

In next month’s Playboy, Dr. Drew says, “A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.”

So far Cruise himself has failed to comment on the matter, but instead had his attorney speak for him.

“This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels [a Nazi propagandist].”

Yeah well, Dr. P is super yummy hot, and I’ll believe whatever he tells me! Although that may stem from some childhood traum…oh nevermind.
