Tom Cruise’s Scientology Marriages: The Secret Wife-Auditioning Process Before Katie Holmes, Revealed
ByVanity Fair
3:30 PM, September 1 2012

In the October issue, Vanity Fair special correspondent Maureen Orth reports that in 2004 Scientology embarked on a top-secret project headed by Shelly Miscavige, wife of Scientology chief David Miscavige, which involved finding a girlfriend for Tom Cruise. According to several sources, the organization devised an elaborate auditioning process in which actresses who were already Scientology members were called in, told they were auditioning for a new training film, and then asked a series of curious questions including: “What do you think of Tom Cruise?” Marc Headley, a Scientologist from age seven, who says he watched a number of the audition videotapes when he was head of Scientology’s in-house studio, tells Orth, “It’s not like you only have to please your husband—you have to toe the line for Scientology.” Both Nicole Kidman and Penélope Cruz ran afoul of Scientology and David Miscavige, according to another former Scientologist. “You can’t do anything to displease Scientology, because Tom Cruise will freak out,” Headley says. (Scientology representatives deny that any such search took place and have dismissed several of the story’s sources as disgruntled apostates. David Miscavige and Tom Cruise declined to be interviewed.)

According to Orth, Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian-born, London-raised actress and Scientologist, was selected and dated Cruise from November 2004 until January 2005. Initially she was told only that she had been selected for a very important mission. In a month-long preparation in October 2004, she was audited every day, a process in which she told a high-ranking Scientology official her innermost secrets and every detail of her sex life. Boniadi allegedly was told to lose her braces, her red highlights, and her boyfriend. According to a knowledgeable source, she was shown confidential auditing files of her boyfriend to expedite a breakup. (Scientology denies any misuse of confidential material.) The source says Boniadi signed a confidentiality agreement and was told that if she “messed up” in any way she would be declared a Suppressive Person (a pariah and enemy of Scientology).
Orth reports that in November 2004 Boniadi was flown to New York, where she met Cruise. That’s when she first sensed that this was possibly going to be an arranged marriage. For their first date Cruise and Boniadi went to dinner at Nobu with an entourage of Scientology aides, then to the skating rink at Rockefeller Center, which was closed to the public especially for them. The two spent that first night together but, according to several sources, they did not have sex. At the Trump Tower, where Cruise and the entourage had rented an entire floor, Cruise purportedly told Boniadi, “I’ve never felt this way before.” She was given a second confidentiality agreement specifically about Cruise to sign. Boniadi could tell her worried parents (her mother was also a Scientologist) only that she was in New York on a special Scientology project.
Though the first month of the relationship was bliss, by the second month Boniadi was more and more often found wanting, Orth reports. According to the knowledgeable source, anything she said or did that Cruise found fault with he immediately reported to a member of the Scientology staff, and she would be audited for it. This began with her very first words to him, “Very well done,” regarding his receiving Scientology’s Freedom Medal of Valor. The phrase implied that Cruise was her junior. According to the knowledgeable source, Boniadi also offended Scientology chief David Miscavige, who speaks rapidly, because she kept saying, “Excuse me?” when she was entertaining him and his wife during a visit to Telluride. In Scientology, the ability to have your communication “land” is crucial. Boniadi was excoriated by Cruise for disrespecting Miscavige. (A representative for Miscavige told Vanity Fair, “Mr. Miscavige doesn’t remember any girlfriend of anyone, in his entire life, insulting him.”)
According to Orth, Boniadi was in love with Cruise, but the intensity of his affection, especially his predilection for public displays, overwhelmed her. “I get more love from an extra than I get from you,” the actor reportedly complained. Every day Boniadi spent two to three hours purging herself of “negative thoughts about Tom.” She felt completely shut off; her only source of money was a credit card issued in the name of Cruise’s production company.
Following the alleged episode with Miscavige, Cruise barely acknowledged Boniadi, though she had moved into his house and they shared a bedroom. By the third week in January, she was asked to move into Scientology’s Celebrity Centre. Boniadi was told that Cruise “wants someone with her own power—like Nicole.” When she asked why Cruise would not break up with her himself, she was told he was not to be disturbed. A Scientology official allegedly told her, by way of explanation, “Naz, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
When a friend at a Scientology center in Florida, where Boniadi was subsequently sent, asked why she was crying all the time, Boniadi broke down and told her about her relationship with Cruise, which she had been forbidden to do. According to the knowledgeable source, the friend reported her. Boniadi’s punishment was to scrub toilets with a toothbrush, clean bathroom tiles with acid, and dig ditches in the middle of the night. After that she was sent out to sell Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics on street corners. (A Scientology spokesperson responds: “The Church does not punish people, especially in [that] manner.”)
Orth also reveals:

According to several sources, Scientology made secret videotapes of Tom Cruise’s audits. (Scientology denies that Cruise’s audits were ever taped.)

David Miscavige’s alleged indiscretions with audit reports of high-profile Scientologists. (Scientology representatives insist that Miscavige has always “rigorously upheld the sanctity and confidentiality of ministerial communications.”)

Katie Holmes’s pre-nuptial agreement with Cruise, negotiated by her father, Martin, a divorce lawyer, reportedly filled five Bankers Boxes.

Martin Holmes’s concerns about keeping his daughter from Scientology’s clutches before Suri was born.

Why Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s children, Bella and Connor, were estranged from their mother.

A sad love story amplified by vested interests and religious bigotry a la Mrs. Orth (I am still stunned to see how much obvious lies she believed for this character assassination shot. A clear sign that VF is going down the drain.)

"Boniadi was in love with Cruise" but he didn't want her. So she bands with some religious haters and comes back with a "story" about how she made herself pretty to impress him and that it didn't work. Yawn. Now she is blaming it on her former religion. And, surprise, surprise, she bands with guys that the Church kicked out for perjury and other immoral if not criminal acts.

As Scientology Inc. (the church of Scientology) has so idiotically already spread all over the comments section at Vanity Fair, Nazanin Boniadi is a good friend of mine. Naz is a courageous woman who was ruthlessly exploited by David Miscavige and Tom Cruise several years ago. Because of the nature of the bond of trust I share with Naz, there is not much I can share with you about her. But, since her name and a version of her story are about to go viral, there is something that people ought to know about Naz. For years, Naz has known that she could make international headlines and perhaps forward her fledgling acting career by blowing the whistle on Tom Cruise and his bff David Miscavige. But, Naz chose not to do so. She wanted to be judged only by the merits of her skills and abilities. Instead, she intelligently decided on more quiet and effective means she could apply to effectuate change in the monstrous institution that so inhumanely attempted to exploit her and others. Naz quietly and dedicatedly went about establishing a career powered and supported only by the quality of her talent. She found time also to forward the cause of effectively taming the beast. On a personal level, in four short years she became a well-employed actor and recognized, effective human rights activist.

David Miscavige and Tom Cruise took measures to prevent Naz from achieving any noteriety – for obvious reasons. But, Naz was undeterred. She made it in spite of Tom Cruise and David Miscavige.

Maureen Orth is one of a dying breed of real investigative journalists in America. Through incredible persistence and remarkable savvy Orth was able to find enough corroboration to tell Naz’s story in Vanity Fair without Naz uttering a word about it. See Vanity Fair’s teaser here.

Should it turn out that Orth’s painstaking effort to piece together the truth through second and third hand sources fall short of the whole truth and nothing but the truth, stay tuned here. I am likely to the be the first to correct the record. We will always have Naz’s back.

Rathbun is such a name dropping arrogant fuckstick. He should just stop with the "I'm so pious and noble that I won't spill what I know because I haz principles"......he doesn't know shit and he should stop with the obvious crying wolf game.

He's been holding the same invisible carrot over everyone's head for years only to "release" information that is either a lie or old news. I'm so tired of this guy.

Not impressive. When Amnesty International frees the Sea Org slaves trafficked from country to country with no rights and/or liberties (and decent food/health care is considered a luxury to some SO), then I'll be impressed. Ms. Boniadi needs only to look to the organization she's associated with (and given money to) if she's so interested in human rights abuses.

I'm sorry, but is there any indication that Nazanin Boniadi actually spoke to VF about this? If she did not, but honoured her agreement with the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology, I'm wondering if this accusation by "Louanne" constitutes either libel or grounds for considering the agreement null and void.

Katie Holmes mayhave fallen for it, but Tom Cruise’ssci-fi seduction technique scared the bejeezus out of ScarlettJohansson, a source close to the actress says. Weeks before he beganwooing his brainwashed bride-to-be, Cruise made repeated phone calls to the19-year-old starlet—who was then set to co-star with him in MissionImpossible III—imploring her to meet him at the Scientology CelebrityCenter in L.A. But when the actress finally agreed, the supposedly professionalget-together took an oddly spiritual turn. “[Cruise] took me into thisroom, which was stifling hot, and was showing me all kinds of info about joiningthe church,” Johansson told our source. “The whole time hedidn’t even offer me a cookie!” Instead, he offered herdinner—and a glimpse into the Twilight Zone.
After two hours ofproselytizing, our source says Cruise opened a door to reveal a second roomfull of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair,at which point the cool-headed ingenue politely excused herself.

Paul Haggis weighs in on Nazanin Boniadi:
http://www.showbiz411.com/2012/09/02/oscar-winner-paul-haggis-on-tom-cruise-scientology-girlfriend
Excerpts:

“I’ve known Nazanin for about three years. I met her through a mutual friend when I was doing my own personal research into the allegations against Scientology, before I wrote my letter of resignation. Naz was embarrassed by her unwitting involvement in this incident and never wanted it to come out, so I kept silent. However I was deeply disturbed by how the highest ranking members of a church could so easily justify using one of their members; how they so callously punished her and then so effectively silenced her when it was done. It wasn’t just the threats; they actually made her feel ashamed, when all she had been was human and trusting.

In Naz’s case, she has no right to feel ashamed. She is not only a terrific actress at the beginning of a very promising career, she is a dedicated human rights activist and a truly lovely and caring person. The last thing she wanted or needed is this kind of publicity, but here it is, and I am sure she will deal with it with the same grace and dignity she exudes in her daily life. I’m appalled that any church would treat its parishioners this way, but Naz has never cast herself as a victim. She is strong and resilient and I am very proud to call her a friend.”

He adds in a second email:

“And FYI, in case this wasn’t clear, Naz quietly and privately resigned from the church a couple of years ago after several years of trying to handle this injustice internally, to no avail.”

She towers over both the midgets Tom and Davey.

I think it's great that she clearly possesses the grace and humility to elevate her new-found celebrity status into something way more important than scientology ever was.

Plus she is one of the most attractive women on the planet. Too sexy for the cult.

Perhaps the best headline yet concerning Nazanin Boniadi:

"This Woman Could Have Been Mrs. Tom Cruise If Only She Could Hear Properly"

http://crushable.com/entertainment/...m-cruise-if-only-she-could-hear-properly-472/

Excerpt:

Well, Boniadi did fuck up. Just a few months into her “relaitonship” she began displeasing Cruise (a big no-no), then officially found herself on the road to Dumpsville by her faux boyfriend when she asked Scientology head David Miscavige to repeat himself. Apparently, he’s a fast talker, she didn’t hear him. So, like any normal person, probably said something along the lines of “I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear you. What was that?”

What a disrespecting asshole this Boniadi woman is! Who does she think she is? A human who sometimes doesn’t hear things correctly? It’s a good thing Cruise dropped her off at the Scientology Celebrity Centre before she could do any more damage to the world as we know it.

While she was there, Boniadi made a second fuck up.

What is wrong with this woman? Why can’t she just be cool and quit being such a troublemaker?

Boniadi had the audacity to confide in a “friend” about the failed relationship with Cruise! What type of person does such a thing? Who in their right mind turns to a friend for input and support on such a matter? Obviously, an asshole. It is completely against the church to divulge any sort of information like that to a friend, although you are often “audited” in regards to your sex life, and as well as to purge any impure thoughts that you might be having about your husband who is obviously a saint, while you’re still an asshole.

Boniadi’s punishment for such outrageous and horrific behavior, according to one of Orth’s sources?

“…scrub toilets with a toothbrush, clean bathroom tiles with acid, and dig ditches in the middle of the night. After that she was sent out to sell Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard‘s Dianetics on street corners.”

Nazanin Boniadi: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know

http://www.heavy.com/entertainment/2012/09/nazanin-boniadi-top-10-facts-you-need-to-know/

Exceptionally good article. Well worth reading in its entirety.

Excerpts:

9. She's Wicked Smart

At University of California Irvine, where she studied biological science, she won the Chang Pin-Chun Undergraduate Research Award for her work studying, among other things, heart transplant rejection. She was assistant editor of the school's undergrad medical newspaper. That such an intelligent woman was reduced to helplessness and humiliation by Tom Cruise and Scientology is testament to the pull of their power.

10. She’s an Activist

Boniadi is an official spokesperson for Amnesty International USA, blogs for its website, and did a voiceover with Morgan Freeman on the organization's “Power of Words” public service announcement. She's an outpoken voice for women's rights and human rights in Iran.
