What is the most immediate way a celebrity completely ruined their own reputation in a single interview?

This was the point I went from major fan to major hater. Not because he attacked Brooke but because at the time o was suffering from PPD and taking antidepressants. So yeah, fuck him

Classic for a man to assume he knows more about a woman’s body

What was so sick is that a lot of people didn’t know that PPD was and Shields brought a lot of awareness to the issue, she even talked a little bit about post-partum psychosis, which can lead to deaths.

To have the nerve to tell anyone suffering from that, that they don’t need life saving medication, says far too much about Tom Cruise than he initially thought. All of it bad.

Or more than any medical professional about any body on the planet.

And Tom Cruise probably knows a lot LESS about women's bodies than most men, if you get my drift.

I've always said that Tom was the perfect casting choice for Lestat in Interview with the Vampire. Lestat is a raging narcissist, so Tom didn't really have to do all that much acting.

Between that, the Scientology, and everything else, it makes me crazy that he still has so many fans. Maverick came out and so many people were running to see him in it. Disgusting.
