Tom Cruise To Sue?
Popsquire trusts you are aware of the unauthorized Tom Cruise autobiography being released today. If not, here’s what you need to know.
“Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography,” by Andrew Morton, explores the Tom’s love life, rumors about his sexuality, his connections to Scientology and his family.
Tom’s attorney, Bert Fields, has called the book “a bunch of tired old lies about Tom and his religion.”
Popsquire’s perspective…
Popsquire is setting the clock on the lawsuit countdown. Realize, however, that defamation lawsuits brought by celebs can be difficult to win. Unlike regular folk, celebs generally have to meet a higher standard.
Celebs have to prove that the alleged defamatory statement is false and was made with malicious intent, meaning that it was published with either knowledge of falsity or in reckless disregard for the truth.
Popsquire’s prediction…
Although Tom is no stranger to litigation, he may not sue over this book. Sometimes, it may be better to ignore the book or release a statement denying its veracity instead of providing publicity in the form of a lawsuit.
If Popsquire is wrong, he will gladly cover the lawsuit and trial. Popsquire is here to serve!
