Cruise Slams Shields' Drug Use
By WENN
............................................
Tom Cruise has criticized Hollywood pal Brooke Shields' "misguided" use of the anti-depressant Paxil, while declaring the actress' career as over.
In an interview with Billy Bush on the TV show Access Hollywood, to be screened on May 26, Cruise speaks of his disappointment to learn Shields used Paxil to fight post-natal depression following the birth of her daughter Rowan.

Shields is currently weaning herself off her medication so she and husband Chris Henchy can have another child.

Cruise, who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion, says the Suddenly Susan actress should have used vitamins to help her feelings of despair.

Cruise says, "Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman. You look at, where has her career gone?"

Despite the Minority Report actor's declaration her career is over, Shields is currently receiving rave reviews playing murderess Roxie Hart in the London theatre production of Chicago.

Cruise maintains, "These drugs are dangerous. I have actually helped people come off.

"When you talk about postpartum, you can take people today, women, and what you do is you use vitamins. There is a hormonal thing that is going on, scientifically, you can prove that. But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that.

"You can use vitamins to help a woman through those things."

Yeah he's a dumbass. I always thought it and this just further illustrates it. I just thought it was interesting when I read it and thought I would share that even people as perfect as Brooke Shields have gone through Paxil withdrawal and depression. I was looking at Barnes and Noble today trying to find some books and I came across one by Brooke Shields about her pp depression so I guess that's why Tom Cruise is discussing it. Shields came back at Cruise saying she's not worried about the opinion of someone who devotes his life to aliens, talking about Scientology. It is lovely that Tom Cruise has decided to give advice on the treatment of post partum depression. I must have missed when he got his MD and became a woman.

Yeah I follow that too, what scared me is that more and more people (artists, stars, at least) go into that Scientology thing.... argh, my God, what are they thinking?

Anyways, their problems...

But about postpartum depression, it was stupid of his part because many suicides happens with untreated PPD, and he don't know what he talks bout (PP depression). Because he would try AD, for sure!

Allure
