Tom Cruise sues mag over abandoning daughter story

Dunya News

The lawsuit was filed in a Los Angeles federal court.

Tom Cruise has filed a 50-million-dollar defamation lawsuit against Life and Style magazine for publishing articles that claimed the actor has abandoned his six-year-old daughter, Suri.The actors attorney, Bert Fields, said to falsely claim the actor deserted his daughter is a vicious lie.Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri. Shes a vital part of his life and always will be, the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible, he said.Cruise doesnt like to file lawsuits but felt it was appropriate because sleaze peddlers are trying to make money about the actors relationship with his daughter, Fields said.These serial defamers are foreign-owned companies with their global headquarters in Hamburg, he said. They take money from unsuspecting Americans by selling their malicious garbage. Having to pay a libel judgment may slow them down, he added.
