Tom Cruise and his team are no longer in Cruise control — they’re in crisis mode.
A source close to the 50-year-old star told Us Weekly that since his estranged wife Katie Holmes announced she was filing for divorce and applying for full custody of daughter Suri on June 28, Cruise’s life “has been torn apart”.
“He is on the phone with his lawyers 24/7,” the unnamed source said.
The source also said that while he is seeking top legal advice, Cruise is trying to avoid going to court over custody, child support or property division.
Cruise’s desire not to go to court could have a lot to do with his strong ties to the Church of Scientology and doesn’t want “his entire life laid out for everyone to dissect anymore,” the source said.
Meanwhile, People magazine is reporting that while Holmes was planning her escape from scientology, she was also preparing for a new production, playing the role of a single mother.
She has co-written the film, titled Molly, which will start shooting in New York next month with Holmes in the lead role.
Other projects she has coming up include Responsible Adults with Chace Crawford and she will be promoting her Holmes & Yang fashion line at New York’s Fashion Week for the first time since it launched in 2009.
