Tom
Cruise's
lawyers
have
threatened
the
parent
company
of
the
National
Enquirer
with
a
multimillion-dollar
lawsuit
for
claiming
that
they
have
details
of
the
actor's
recent
split
with
wife
Katie
Holmes.
Hollywood
Reporter
posted
a
letter
from
Tom
Cruise's
Los
Angeles
attorney,
Bert
Fields.
The
three
page
letter
blasts
American
Media
Inc,
parent
of
the
Enquirer,
and
term
their
claims
as
"vicious,
hurtful,
damaging
lies".
The
lawyer
added
that
this
will
cause
damages
worth
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars!
The
Enquirer's
issue
hit
the
newsstands
on
Wednesday.
Tom
Cruise
and
Katie
Holmes,
whose
split
is
the
talk
of
the
town,
are
going
through
a
very
bad
patch.
It
is
being
said
that
both
Tom
Cruise
and
Katie
Holmes
had
an
out
of
court
settlement
last
weekend
in
which
Holmes
was
granted
primary
custody
of
their
six-year-old
daughter
Suri
with
generous
visitation
by
Cruise.
The
rumour
is
abuzz
that
the
reason
for
the
split
between
the
two
is
centered
on
Cruise's
membership
in
the
Church
of
Scientology.
Neither
of
the
couple
has
confirmed
this.
