Drew's views bruises Cruise

Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab) interviewed in the upcoming July 2008 edition of Playboy magazine:
Dr. Drew said, "A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."

Tom Cruise's lawyer fired back, saying, "This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them." He went on to compare Pinsky to a Nazi, saying, "He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels." more HERE

After Dr. Drew Pinsky's comments about Tom Cruise's mental health led the actor's lawyer to compare the TV therapist to a Nazi, Pinksy apologized for insulting the star.
