13. HE WAS INSENSITIVE ABOUT BROOK SHIELDS
When Brooke Shields opened up to the world about her battle with postpartum depression, many people thought that it was truly brave of her to finally shed light on an issue that had been kept in the dark for so long. It was a breakthrough moment for a celebrity to be open about postpartum depression and it seemed to be a great help for those also struggling through it. Yet, not everyone felt the same way about her admission and Tom Cruise came under fire for the comments he made about it.
Cruise claimed that she was being “irresponsible” for using psychotropic meds but was immediately slammed by the public and the media. Afterward, Cruise apologized to Shields and she reportedly responded by saying, “You don’t have ovaries, so don’t be making a comment like this — it’s not going to help with the people.” Yet, many people wonder whether or not his apology was sincere and whether or not he truly does believe the previous statements he made.
