美国《名利场》杂志最新一期封面故事曝光了汤姆•克鲁斯与刚刚离婚的妻子凯蒂认识之前,科学教高层为其选妻的内幕。
In the weeks following the news of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' split this summer, came various reports of the actor's search for a Scientology-friendly wife before he met Holmes.
Rumor1 has it that Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson were also among those approached as
marital2(婚姻的) prospects3 for Cruise.
And now, a new Vanity Fair cover story reveals that in 2004, Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology chief David Miscavige,
oversaw4 a top-secret effort to find the next Mrs. Cruise.
The search yielded Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian-born, London-raised actress and Scientologist, who went on to date Cruise from November 2004 until January 2005. According to VF, Boniadi spent the month prior to the courtship being
audited5 every day, and was forced to share personal secrets and details of her sex life with a high-ranking Scientology official.
The story reports, "Boniadi allegedly was told to lose her
braces6, her red highlights, and her boyfriend. According to a
knowledgeable7 source, she was shown
confidential8 auditing9 files of her boyfriend to expedite a breakup. (Scientology denies any
misuse10 of confidential material.) The source says Boniadi signed a
confidentiality11 agreement and was told that if she "messed up" in any way she would be declared a Suppressive Person (a
pariah12 and enemy of Scientology)."
After a
blissful(充满喜悦的) first month, the relationship turned sour when Boniadi's behavior toward David Miscavige was interpreted by Cruise as disrespectful. Boniadi was later sent to a Scientology Center in Florida, where she made the mistake of
confiding13 in a friend when she was unable to hide her emotional
distress14 --despite having been
strictly15 forbidden to reveal the details of her courtship with Cruise.
According to Vanity Fair's source, the friend reported her to Scientology officials. "Boniadi's punishment was to scrub toilets with a toothbrush, clean bathroom tiles with acid, and dig ditches in the middle of the night. After that she was sent out to sell Scientology
founder16 L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics on street corners," reports the magazine.
It looks as if the Church of Scientology's damage control efforts won't be put to rest anytime soon.
