Moss took issue with a magazine headline referring to Cruise having broken a promise to attend his daughters first day of school. But the truth, as you know, is that Mr. Cruise is a devoted father, who simply happens to be working in London on film. By your reasoning, any actor who is shooting on location in a foreign country could be charged with child abandonment, as could all of the mothers and fathers serving overseas in the military.
The comments come in a section of the deposition where Cruise is being asked about time he has spent away from daughter Suri, either because of film or other commitments.
Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan, opposing counsel asks him. Are you aware of that?
I didnt hear the Afghanistan, Cruise replies. Thats what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal. it was brutal.
Do you believe that the situations are the same? Cruise is asked.
Oh come on, Cruise says, you know, were making a movie.
Cruises attorney, Bert Fields, tells CNN in a statement, Headlines stating he equated his job with those in the military are demonstrably false. They are a distortion of what is provable and on the record.
