“Enough,” Katie Holmes declared Sunday in a rare, unprecedented response to a different tabloid report about her, her daughter Suri and Suri's complicated relationship along with her megastar father Tom Cruise.
In an Instragam postobjected Holmes a Daily Mail reportwhich claimed that her 18-year-old daughter Suri had grow to be a millionaire after a trust fund reportedly arrange by her estranged father “intervened”.
“Totally wrong,” Holmes wrote over a screenshot of the article within the British tabloid with the headline “Suri Cruise, the millionaire!” Tom Cruise's trust fund is “started” and mother Katie Holmes has one for her too.”
“Daily Mail, you can stop making things up,” Holmes added.
With her post, Holmes finally, after many years, publicly commented on a gossip or news report about her, her daughter and her famous ex-husband.
While Holmes clearly denies this particular report about a Cruise trust fund, it appears that the “Dawson's Creek” alum is also fed up with at least some of what the Daily Mail has published about her, Suri, and the “Top Gun.” Star.
Definitely like the Daily Mail to publish regular updates about Holmes and Suri, with the photographers following her and Suri around New York City, where they have lived since Holmes' high-profile divorce from Cruise in 2012. The Daily Mail is also among the gossip and entertainment outlets that followed her in dropping incoming freshman Suri at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in August.
But the Daily Mail is not the only publication that has speculated over the past 12 years about the reasons for Holmes' divorce from the 62-year-old “Mission: Impossible” actor and his long and obvious estrangement from his once-beloved daughter or Holmes ' Raising Suri as a single mother.
The floor plan of Reports Part of their divorce was that Holmes didn't want Suri to join the controversial, cult-like organization, so she left the marriage. Cruise soon faced accusations in another tabloid that he had “abandoned” Suri because of Scientology's rules about separating members from nonbelieving family and friends who are considered “suppressive individuals” and hostile to the organization .
In a 2013 deposition to a $50 million libel lawsuit Cruise filed against the tabloid In Touch, the actor vehemently denied that he had “abandoned” Suri. He disputed claims that he, a prominent member of Scientology, had “endlessly” chosen the church over his daughter.
“'Abandoned by Daddy,'” Cruise said angrily in the statement, referring to the story's headline. “I mean, come on, this is absolutely disgusting. This is absolutely disgusting.”
But more than a decade later, another tabloid, The Sun, reported that Cruise had not seen his daughter in 11 years. However, The Sun also reported that Cruise provided financial support for Suri. Under the terms of the divorce agreement, Holmes was awarded sole custody while Cruise was required to pay $400,000 a year to help raise her.
This Sun report is consistent with other reports about Cruise's estrangement from Suri and was prompted by Cruise missing a major milestone in Suri's life: her graduation from the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City. Instead, Cruise was photographed at one of Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour performances in London this weekend.
Cruise's absence from Suri's graduation made headlines. And then came more headlines about the 18-year-old dropping her father's last name for the ceremony. Instead, she used the name “Suri Noelle.” At the time, sources told Page Six that the new name was a tribute to her mother, who raised her. Noelle is Katie Holmes' middle name.
But as in years past, Holmes remained publicly silent about Cruise's no-show at Suri's graduation ceremony.
But something about the Daily Mail's trust fund story finally sparked a reaction, and people can speculate as to why. Maybe it's the implication that Suri has suddenly become “a wealthy teenager who can do anything she wants.” One person responded to Holmes' Instagram post, saying the claim “puts a goal on her back.”
The Daily Mail report also states that Suri began gaining access to a trust fund set up by Cruise when she turned 18 in April. Additionally, it said Holmes has set up her own trust fund for her only child, quoting a source who said: “She wants him to be well cared for and have a prime quality of life.”
Whatever Holmes' reasons for finally speaking out and hitting back at the Daily Mail, she was flooded with praise and support on her Instagram feed.
“I’m so proud of you for confronting her. I love you to the moon!” wrote actress Zoey Deutch. Actor John McGinty also wrote: “We have your back.”
Another user said: “People must stop saying 'ignore her!' In the comments. @katieholmes has a daughter who doesn't live as a public figure but travels the world, and the Daily Mail just painted a goal on her back. How would you are feeling if that was your child?!”
