Scientologists are 'Creepy,' Says Rupert Murdoch on Tom Cruise
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch weighed in on the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce story Sunday, saying he thinks Scientologists are "creepy" and possibly even evil.
The News Corporation chief urged his Twitter followers to watch the story, which broke on Friday when Holmes announced she was filing from divorce from Hollywood A-lister Cruise, a prominent member of the Church of Scientology.
"Watch Katie Holmes and Scientology story develop. Something creepy, maybe even evil, about these people," Murdoch said on his Twitter account, @rupertmurdoch.
The fairytale Hollywood couple's split was revealed when Holmes' publicist announced that the actress had filed for divorce after five years of marriage, ending an unexpected love story dogged by tabloid rumors.
A spokesman for Cruise said the "Mission Impossible" star was "deeply saddened" by the news, fueling reports that his wife's announcement had taken him by surprise.
Speculation about why Holmes wanted out has included suggestions she was concerned that Cruise was forcing their six-year-old daughter Suri deeper into the Church of Scientology.
The TMZ celebrity news website has reported that Holmes is seeking sole custody of Suri. Citing unnamed sources, it said she feared "that Tom would drag Suri deep into the church."
"We're told the couple had been arguing over Suri -- that she's now of the age where Scientology becomes a significant part of her life," it said.
Murdoch's Scientology comment generated a surge of Twitter traffic, prompting another tweet: "Since Scientology tweet hundreds of attacks. Expect they will increase and get worse and maybe threatening.
"Still stick to my story," he added.
There was no immediate response to a request for comment from the Church of Scientology, or from publicists for Cruise or Holmes.
A short time after his Scientology tweet, Murdoch was asked his views on Mormonism -- in the spotlight currently as Mormon Mitt Romney takes on President Barack Obama for the White House.
"Mormonism a mystery to me, but Mormons certainly not evil," the News Corp tycoon replied.

Yes they are creepy and evil, but as a zionist jew, murdoch is the last one to attack others as nobody is more creepy and evil than them. They are behind most of the worlds evil, drugs, pornography, human trafickng, wars, massacres, usury, terrorism etc etc, in almost all cases, there is a zionist jew behind it even though they often use ignorants from other religions to do the dirty work while they hide behind the screen making the profits from it and planning it and making sure it happens.

Murdoch is not jewish, he is a devout Catholic and was awarded a papal medal for his work with the church... get your facts straight, and all the things you said the jews do are ironically the exact thing that the shi'ite group hezbollah does...

Anonymous, your the one who should get your facts straight. A devout catholic????? He is a devout zionist satan worshiper, that is what he is. He has joined the world zionist gog and magog project, that is why i called him jew. Hezballah doesnt do even 0.1 % of what the jews are up to. Go read scripture, the jews will corrupt the world massively during the time which is closest to the end of days which is now. And they are doing it openly. So get lost or go find a jew whos shoes you can polish to get a dime or a role in a hollywood movie promoting homosexuality and other sins.
