because that could be even uglier then any reaction tom cruise could have... seriously, scientology doesn´t take people leaving their fold very well... they have been known to stalk and harrass former members (after sucking them dry financially usually).
if it wasn´t for scientology i´d not even care anough to comment about this... IMO this kind of stuff really shouldn´t even be covered by real news sources like CNN or even [and it pains me to say this] FOX news and instead relagated to sources like "entertainment weekly" or "E! News".
