Tom Cruise settles suit with German publisher
Print Edition
Tom Cruise has reached a settlement with a magazine he sued for US$50 million in libel damages over claims he abandoned his daughter Suri after his divorce.
Terms of the agreement remain confidential, but a statement said German publisher Bauer acknowledged that it “never intended” to suggest the “Mission Impossible” star abandoned his daughter.
His former wife Katie Holmes announced she was filing for divorce in June last year. The following month Bauer’s Life & Style splashed the headline “Suri in tears, abandoned by her dad,” over a picture of the sobbing girl, living with her mother in New York after the split.
That prompted Cruise’s libel suit, which has been the subject of legal wrangling for more than a year.
“Tom Cruise’s lawsuit against Bauer Publishing, In Touch and Life & Style magazines has been settled. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and remain confidential,” lawyer Bert Fields said in a statement.
The publisher and its two magazines “never intended to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published,” a statement said.
