Tom cans top gun in sect spat

“He was talking more and more about Scientology,” a source said. “She was counseling him not to. It became an issue.”
But Kingsley insisted to the News last night it was an “amicable parting.”
“I adore the guy,” she said. “I have the greatest respect for him professionally and personally. We’ve had a great ride.”
Kingsley became Cruise’s spokeswoman 14 years ago with “Far and Away.”
She dealt with controversies such as the end of his marriage to Nicole Kidman. Kidman says she learned of her own breakup from a Kingsley press release.
Cruise, a member of the Church of Scientology for years, has been talking more recently about its controversial beliefs – saying, for instance, “psychiatry should be outlawed.”
“He’s surrounded himself with Scientology factotums now and so she had to go,” a source said of Kingsley.
But Cruise’s sister LeeAnne Devette, also a Scientologist, says: “That is completely untrue. It was an amicable separation and the two remain friends. He still cares a great deal for Pat. Clearly, it was time for a change. It was a decision he came to.”
As for Cruise’s role in Scientology, she said: “In earlier years, he didn’t talk about Scientology, and everybody said he was keeping it a big mystery. Now, he talks about it and it’s wrong. It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”
