In Touch: Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise fight over Suri’s education

Honey · October 16th, 2009, 11:10 PM

In Touch Weekly’s cover story this week is basically the same old crap, different day. They’re trying to convince us that Katie Holmes is “at war” with Tom Cruise over a multitude of issues, including but not limited to Scientology, raising their daughter, her parents and how Tom just won’t leave her alone for two seconds. While I buy that Tom and Katie fight (as everyone does), and that they probably fight about one or more of these issues, I don’t buy this whole “they’re at war” thing. Still, whatever. It’s an interesting read. Here are some of the highlights:
*Katie is still fighting for Suri to have a Catholic education rather than Scientology-driven education. Although we ran with the Daily Mail’s story about Suri attending a Catholic preschool (and In Touch repeats the same claim), Boston media outlets later denied the reports. Suri probably isn’t attending Catholic pre-school after all.
*There’s tension between Tom and his father-in-law Martin. One witness noted that “Tom’s face falls when he sees Martin. Martin scowls at Tom. He can’t even crack a polite smile.”
*Katie thinks Suri is “treated too much like an adult” with all of the high heels and lipstick and lack of structure.

Katie wants Suri to “have a normal childhood” and “mix more with children her own age.” Katie wants to give Suri more structure. Suri doesn’t even have a set bedtime, according to In Touch.
*Katie’s parents flew to Boston because “they aren’t very happy with Tom pressuring Katie to have another baby when she’s not ready.” Her parents also worry that Katie is becoming “increasingly isolated” and “stressed out”. I would add “robotic” and “zombie-esque” into the mix as well.
*Katie’s parents wanted her to bring Suri for a long visit in Ohio, but Tom “refused to let Katie go”. Katie is also depressed because she thinks about all of the friends she lost “when Tom came into her life”.
*And yet, Tom is afraid that if he doesn’t give in to some of Katie’s “demands” he might “lose” her. Yeah, right. Not until her contract it up.
*Katie is a lot happier with her mom. In Touch notes that on a recent outing with her mother, “Katie looked light years away from the sad-looking young woman she’d become in recent weeks.”
Eh. I think some of this may be true, especially the parts about Katie’s parents. I don’t think they were ever thrilled about the idea of their little girl becoming The Bride of Xenu. In Touch also makes a small note that Tom and Martin Holmes haven’t gotten along since before Tom and Katie were even married. Apparently, it stemmed from Martin wanting Katie’s pre-nup to be a lot more generous… for when her contract expires, I guess.

Yeah, right. Like KatE has a say in anything having to do with their fake marriage or Suri.

I believe it. I think Katie and her parents are at the point now where she's so miserable that they don't care about the consequences of breaking her contract. Whatever "scandalous" information Tom has about her will just do more damage to his reputation than hers if he tries to release it, and I think she's starting to realize that and be more open minded to the idea of letting her parents intervene.

All she needs to do is come out an admit that baby isn't his and she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Surely she has enough cash by now. And maybe even get her career back. I'm sure she could get hired. Hell, Nicole got more work than ever once Tommygirl dumped her.

Birdina · October 17th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Yeah, she just needs to get out, whatever the cost. Don't they realize everyone knows?

The Co$ isn't going to let her say or do anything that will make one of their most prominent members look like a fool. She went into it willingly and seemed more than agreeable to go through with that ridiculous let's-make-the-world-think-Suri-is-really-TommyGirl's-bio-kid scheme.

If she leaves, she won't say anything, she won't take Suri, and it will be spun to make it seem that TommyGirl left her.

Hmm, well I agree that she won't say anything but I think she would take Suri. She is not as cold as Kidman.

It's not about being cold [which I don't think Kidman is - we don't know what she's like in private with family]. It's about the fact that TommyGirl invested a lot of effort to ensure everyone believes Suri is his. He's not going to let anyone waltz away with his kid. He'll make damn sure he doesn't come out the loser when yet another fake relationship tanks.

Katie's not anyone. She's her mother. I can't see her losing Suri.

aabbcc · October 18th, 2009, 02:53 PM

She's an idiot, quite frankly. She entered into this whole thing very willingly. Being a mother means squat.

fgg · October 18th, 2009, 02:58 PM

she wouldn't leave suri by choice. we've all seen enough of the *accidents* people run into when they go up against the CO$.

JuicyLucy · October 19th, 2009, 03:37 PM

I know it's old news already but sometimes I wonder if when Suri gets caught jumping on the furniture she says, Well daddy did it.

cornelison · November 16th, 2009, 04:32 AM

I liked putting on my aunt's lipstick but she promptly rubbed it off. It was fun. It's better than a boy wanting to do the same thing. *LOL*

That's how I see it too.

The biggest problem for Katie will be to make sure that Suri is not brainwashed against her, like Isabella and Connor were with Nicole. So many people have left the cult, and never have normal relationships with their loved ones ever again.
