Nicole Kidman Slams Tom Cruise

Oh it's on! Nicole Kidman is pissed off at her ex-hubby Tom Cruise and is accusing him of turning their children against her.

Responding to criticism that she spent little time with the kids, she reportedly told Heat: “It’s a pity they have been manipulated by the father to distance themselves from me.”

She added: “They are closer to their new mum now."

Not to side with Tom or anything, but when was the last time Nicole even saw those kids? If she really wanted to see her children, she would make it happen. No excuses.

I've wonder the same thing too? If she loved her children so much nothing would stand in her way of being a part of their life. Unless, Tom has crap on Nicole and threatens her with this "crap". It's always been rumored that Nicole was pregnant with another man's baby and this was the cause of their separation.

Um, Katie is not their "new mum". Nicole is still their "mum". You don't adopt children and then just hand them off to a new mum. They are all idiots and their children will be in therapy for a long time.

Hollyscoop needs to learn more about $cientology. When Nicole Kidman was in "auditing" (counselling and confession, basically) at the cult's L.A. Celebrity Center, she was asked about all sorts of things that she wouldn't want made public - small details about her past and thoughts, the sort of secrets everyone has and is embarrassed about. And those auditing sessions were recorded - at least that's what Jason Beghe and others say. THAT is the "crap" (as Zombie would say) that they have on her. Kidman was married to a crazy, controlling cultist. Don't judge her so harshly.

Sad situation, for all parties involved.

I have to give Tom more credit here. Its been years since Nicole has been pictured with her kids. She has obviously been more concerned with her new husband and procreating her own children. I think that once they divorced she let her children go. She became one of those mothers that cared more about her husband. Plus say what you want about Tom, but he is an active father in his children's lives.

He's "active", g, because he's a fanatic - a lunatic, controlling fanatic. "Maniacal" is a better word to describe him.

The original source of the "quote" is Heat Magazine out of the UK, it's just a trash rag. But that being said, I agree, if Nicole really wanted to do something about seeing her kids more, should could make it happen. She doesn't even own a house in LA anymore for crying out loud. Plus she's made at least double the amount of movies that Cruise has made since the divorce. Where are her priorities? I don't like Tom Cruise very much, but I'm not going to automatically critize him and put Kidman in the victim category. She has to take some responsibility as well for the situation with the kids.

Scientologists make bad parents as they want their kids to become brainwashed. It's probably what Nicole doesnot want for these two kids.

If she doesn't want that for her kids, she's had 7 years to get them out.

I agree -- I think Nicole contributed to the situation. She seemed to have abandoned her adopted children. If I'm not mistaken, she lives in Austrailia. She owns a home in the Southern U.S. where her new husband resides, but does NOT own a home in L.A. where her adopted children resides?? It's no wonder the children are closer to Katie. Nicole is an absentee mom! She could cry me a river.

Get your facts straight, Hollyscoop. Nicole had custody of those kids until 2005, when Crazy hooked up with Katie Holmes. She was the primary caregiver, and then they came to live with him while Nicole was working, in which time he used the Scientology disconnection policy to effectively turn them against her. As soon as Tom and Katie had Suri, they went to live with Tom's SISTER, where she homeschools them in Scientology technology and he sees them for photo ops, like Suri's birthday.

I think don't think Nicole walked away from her children willingly, I think they were brainwashed by the idiot father. THEY chose NOT to see her. It probably has nothing to do with her making an effort. It happens every day to children of divorce. Alot of times the passive parent is the one that gets the brush off because the more controlling parent uses the child as a pawn to punish the other spouse. No one knows why that marriage ended but he definitely has convinced those kids that she is no good. I think it's about time Nicole opened her mouth. She's kept quiet for WAY TOO LONG!

I don't know why some of you think Nicole hasn't seen her kids. I've seen pictures of them with her in Australia when she was filming there. They were at one or two of Keith (Nic's husband)concerts. People saw them. I think TC has control over these kids and Katie like he did with Nicole. He wanted to adopt, maybe Nicole did not. She was kind of young when they adopted. Nicole has said the children like LA better and as all parents know, kids at the age these kids are think they know it all and want everything their way. I'm not blaming Nicole...if they didn't want to see me then I would not make them. Tom is a weirdo!

Those photos in Australia were taken a year ago. They were there for 1 week each in May of 2007. Connor went to Keith's Melbourne concert in May of 2007. The kids were at Keith's LA concert in June of 2007. Funny how they were at the show last year sans Nicole but weren't at the Anaheim show this year when Nicole was there. If those kids don't want to see their mother, that doesn't say too much about her in my opinion. If the kids were "brainwashed" where was Nicole that whole time? You don't brainwash somebody overnight. If they were supposedly brainwashed so easily against Nicole, they couldn't have thought much of their mother to begin with.

just becoz tc is a scientologist it doesnt make him a bad person, if there's one thing that tc has given and done his best, i think its caring, loving and being a father to his children...i wonder why nicole cant do anything with her situation re the children?shes rich enough to buy another house at LA just so she can show how sincere and serious she is with her maternal role...lack of effort from nk

I think TC is the problem here. He is the one divorced his wives twice for another woman. He is kind of cold blooded.

Tom is a caring and loving father, and husband too (just see how happy katie is) Nicole was never seen with the kids when Tom&her were still married. She was never a dedicated mother, but a dead beat mom. Handle it. She sold the LA mansion she got after they divorced. It prompted Tom to rent nearby in LA, so they could have share the kids easily, but she choose to sell it and went to live in Australia. Since the divorce she did 17 movies, Tom, 6.

Not true, Nicole sees the children very often. The difference is that it's planned very carefully so no photogs will get pics. Until the divorce, there were only 3-4 pics in 10 yrs of them and their kids. The kids hate being stalked or discussed by the press. Nic said this on an interview years ago. She honors her daughter's wish to hide her and not speak of her. additionally, they are home schooled by the scientologist aunt and not allowed to mix with non-scientologists. Tom doesn't want them near Nic as she is a Catholic as is Urban and all the Kidman clan. He makes it very difficult to have visitation. He is a crazy cult loving %$#$#!

hmm

Well psychologically speaking, its very natural for kids to become hostile to the other parent after a divorce.

I agree with g and sash. Nicole has had enough criticism about her lack of involvement in the kids' life and apparently she finally feels pressed to respond. It's so easy to blame it all on Tom but she should have taken more time off to spend with Connor and Isabella. At least Tom and Katie put their well-being on the number 1 spot, where it belongs. Slamming Tom is lame, she should take a look at herself and her part in all of this. Tom doesn’t seem the kind of guy that keeps his kids away from their mother. I think he knows that would only hurt them, if not now, it will in the future. Kids of divorced parents always blame the other parent when they’re adults and this parent has kept them from going to the other parent. I don’t think Tom would do that. He loves his kids and wants them to be happy, that’s crystal clear! Even about Nicole – whom he divorced – he never said anything bad. Tom has never publicly criticized Nicole or said anything disrespectful. The only thing Tom has ever said, was “She’s the mother of my children and I wish her well.” So when he treats her with dignity and respect, he would never do anything to hurt his kids, the ones he love! Nicole, on the other hand, never had trouble to win the public’s sympathy or to make jokes about Tom, like the comment about wearing high heels. And it’s obvious that her kids weren’t a priority in her life. So to defend that lifestyle now by slamming the father of her kids… Who always put them first in his life… It won’t do her already bad relationship with them any good. I’m sure they will feel hurt by this and it will alienate them even further. But once again, Nicole is to blame for that!

And I agree with Joelle and Hannah. Nicole doesn't even have a home in LA! Her career is more important to her than her kids are. That is never the case with Tom, he drops everything for his children, it's well known that he just stops in the middle of a shoot when they call him on his cell, and they continue with shooting the scene when the kids are done talking to him. He always does what's best for them! Nicole seems to have abandoned them. No wonder Katie's closer to them. I think Nicole is jealous of Katie and the fact that C+I call Katie 'mom' so this lashing out at Tom is the result. Besides, all that talk about Tom being controlling, that's all gossip! There's never any proof for that. But hey, when you're in that spotlight, they always have something to complain about: When he accompanies Katie to a premiere or something, they don't say "he loves her and is interested in her projects, how nice", no, they write "he's controlling, he doesn't let her go alone". And now that she goes to Broadway the gossip is the other way around: "Tom and Katie to split?" is the headline they come up with when Katie steps out alone. That's just stupid, right?!

You can believe gossip and trash talk but the facts only shows that Tom is a caring and loving father, and husband too, just see how happy Katie is. Very devoted to his kids, always visits their soccer games and spends a lot of time with them. Nicole was never seen with the kids when Tom & she were still married. The divorce prompted Tom to rent nearby in LA, so they could have share the kids easily. But Nicole sold the LA mansion she got after they divorced and went to live in Australia. Since the divorce she did 17 movies, Tom, 6. So what seems to be her priority? Tom NEVER publicly criticized Nicole or said anything disrespectful about Nicole – a person you can’t say he’s in love with anymore. All he’s ever said, was “She’s the mother of my children and I wish her well.” So when he treats her with dignity and respect, would you expect him to do anything to hurt his children, his loved ones?! Doesn’t seem logical! Nicole, on the other hand, never had trouble to win the public’s sympathy on Tom’s expense, or to make fun of him. What tells that about him and his moral standards? And about hers? Of course we weren't there but if my mother would left us and leaves the country to live thousands of miles away, I would feel hurt. Saying this will hurt them even more. Not only because she criticizes their father but indirectly she lashes out at them too, since this sounds like THEY cut her out of their lives after pressure from their dad. So who’s being accused and hurt here? Not Nicole! Oh, I forget: The media – who are always around – criticized her lots of times for not spending time with them. How would they have come up with that idea, I wonder… Anyway, trashing by the media can be done for the sole purpose of selling magazines, even to go so far as to make up stories. That doesn’t hurt. Criticism by family does.

When my husband left at the same time as Tom and Nic split, I was devastated. But no matter how badly I was hurting there would be NO WAY that I'd walk away from my children. In the past 9 years Nicole lived in NYC with Lenny Kravitz and went wherever Steve Bing lived. Now she's in Tennessee with Keithy and it appears that her security lies with men rather than within herself. That's sad. But to basically give your children away so that you can hang with some man is disgusting. Katie looks like she's fun, they do fun things. She doesn't appear to be buying their favour but spending time with them. I'd much rather hang with someone who gives me time and consistency than someone who hangs out at the botox clinic. Someone real.

Why NK keep doing it-making a fool of herself!! By always using ex name TC and the children. People knows she could see her children WHENEVER she wants. If she really loves the adopted children, she already do something to be near by them or atleast show them by actions no by blaming their father who is always there for them. Oh well, Nk is the mother of adopted children with TC and no one could replace that, BUT the love does!

Katie Holmes is not the mother of adoptep children of TC and Nk, but she giving her time,loves and cares for them like a mom. so thats why they called her MOM.
