Katie Holmes 'felt left out over Tom Cruise Scientology manwife'
Published Jul 5 2012, 13:55 BST | By Daniel Sperling
Katie Holmes's marriage to Tom Cruise was reportedly hindered by his close relationship with a high-ranking Scientologist dubbed his "manwife".52-year-old David Miscavige served as best man at the former couple's wedding five years ago and has been "joined at the hip" with Cruise ever since, according to The Sun.

He is also said to have showered Cruise with gifts including an aircraft hangar and a custom-built luxury coach, driving a wedge between the Mission Impossible star and Holmes that resulted in their divorce on Friday (June 29).
"Miscavige and Tom are joined at the hip," an insider claimed. "Tom runs every important decision in his life by him.
"Tom really values his opinion and Katie often felt like she came in second place. When it became clear how much influence he had over her husband she knew she had to get away."
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spotted together in Rome in April 2005, marking the beginning of their relationship
Miscavige was apparently able to lure the actor back to Scientology after his marriage to Kidman broke down in 2001.
Holmes is widely reported to have ended her marriage to Cruise over fears that their 6-year-old daughter Suri would be forced into adopting Scientology.
Scientology is a dangerous cult that utilizes mind control and bullying tactics to keep members in line. As long as Tom Cruise is involved with this cult he should only be allowed supervised visits with Suri. Google Shelly Miscavige and see what Scientology does to women who "disobey" their husbands. Shelly is the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige, who is also the best friend of Tom Cruise. David was best man at Tom's wedding to Katie. Shelly Miscavige has been missing since 2006 when she carried out Scientology orders without her husbands approval. Scientology makes members sign a billion year contract when you become a member, this contract gives them the right to lock you up if they feel you have gone against them or disobeyed. This is a sick and twisted cult that needs to be investigated by the FBI. The IRS needs to remove their tax exempt church status because this is not a church, it's a cult based an a Sci-fi writer's book. As long as Tom Cruise is involved with Scientology full custody should go to Katie Holmes and he should be court mandated to undergo Psychiatric evaluation. If I were on Katie's legal team I would demand a paternity test to see if Tom is actually Suri's biological child because he adopted 2 children while married to Nicole Kidman, she later had a biological child with her new husband. I would question if he can father a child.

Well, Kidman had a miscarriage at the end of her marriage with Cruise, so...

The man will be a legend when is all set and done, but he is one unnatural, eccentric individual.
