Katie Holmes' ex-husband Tom Cruise was reportedly "seduced" by Scientology church leader David Miscavige. A book called "Ruthless," written by the father of Scientology church leader David Miscavige, alleged that Tom Cruise was exploited.
According to an exclusive by The Daily Mail, Ron Miscavige revealed in "Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me" that Tom Cruise was wooed with gifts and special treatment. Allegedly the Church Of Scientology head, David Miscavige, personally took time and effort to make Tom Cruise feel a valued member of the religion.
"Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me" stated that David Miscavige made Tom Cruise feel as if they were brothers. "I did not see them interact much but I have been told that they developed a sort of brotherly competitive spirit, each trying to outdo each other," Ron Miscavige wrote.

Katie Holmes' ex-husband and David Miscavige first crossed paths in 1990. Then, Tom Cruise and former wife Nicole Kidman were undergoing auditing at Scientology's Sea Org. David Miscavige took the time visit Tom Cruise while Katie Holmes' ex-husband filmed "Days Of Thunder."
"Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me" attested that the church leader saw Tom Cruise's potential then. Besides the PR potential that Tom Cruise could bring Scientology, David Miscavige allegedly saw personal advantage in befriending the actor.
David Miscavige pulled all stops for Tom Cruise to be impressed with the leader and with Scientology. David Miscavige even commissioned the former chef of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard to make meals for Tom Cruise.

The church leader's strategy reportedly paid off as Tom Cruise became the most famous face for Scientology. When AMC TV series "Preacher" made a religious gag, Tom Cruise was picked out to represent Scientology. Screen Crush reports that Tom Cruise was not happy about the Scientology cameo.
Tom Cruise and David Miscavige have been close for over 20 years now. David Miscavige was best man when Tom Cruise married Nicole Kidman. The Scientology church leader was also best man when Tom Cruise wed Katie Holmes.
Scientologists claimed that Ron Miscavige is after money rather than an exposition of the truth with "Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me." The Scientology tell-all was released on May 3.
