Recently, iconic actor Tom Cruise was thrown into a verbal war with Celebrity Rehab star, Dr. Drew Pinsky, who questioned the latter's belief in Scientology. Cruise, who is openly a Scientologist since 1990, claims that the study helped him overcome dyslexia. He is a very outspoken advocate of the study, which he has promoted to be fully recognized as a religion in Europe. Dr. Drew, on the other hand, has a very different point of view when it comes to Cruise's passion for Scientology, saying that it is pointless.
"Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology?" Dr. Drew said in an interview with Playboy. "To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."
