Tom Cruise (born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3, 1962) is an American actor and producer. As a Hollywood star, he has won numerous honors, including an Honorary Palme d’Or and three Golden Globe Awards, as well as nominations for four Academy Awards.
His films have grossed more than $4 billion in North America and more than $11.5 billion globally, making him one of the highest-grossing box-office stars of all time. He is consistently one of the highest-paid actors in the world.
Cruise debuted as an actor in the early 1980s, with prominent roles in the comedy film Risky Business (1983) and the action blockbuster Top Gun (1986).
How many people did Tom Cruise sue and what was the reason?
In 1998, Tom Cruise won a lawsuit against the Daily Express, a British tabloid that claimed his marriage to Kidman was a ruse to conceal his homosexuality.
Cruise filed a lawsuit against gay porn actor Chad Slater in May 2001. Slater admitted to the celebrity magazine Actustar that he had an affair with Cruise. This claim was fiercely contested by Cruise, and Slater was forced to pay $10 million in damages to Cruise after declaring that he could not afford to defend himself and would default. Cruise sought a default judgment, and in January 2003, a Los Angeles judge ruled in favor of Cruise after Slater conceded that his charges regarding Cruise were incorrect.
Cruise also sued Bold Magazine owner Michael Davis for $100 million, claiming (but never confirming) that he possessed video proving Cruise was gay. The action was abandoned in exchange for Davis publicly stating that the video did not depict Cruise and that Cruise was straight.
Cruise sued cybersquatter Jeff Burgar in 2006 to take control of the TomCruise.com domain name. When Burgar controlled the domain, it redirected to information about Cruise on Celebrity1000.com. The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) made the decision to take up TomCruise.com to Cruise on July 5, 2006.
Michael Davis Sapir filed a lawsuit in 2009, alleging that his phone had been wiretapped at Cruise’s request. A Central Civil West court judge in Los Angeles dismissed the action on the grounds that Sapir’s claim had passed the statute of limitations.
Cruise sued In Touch and Life & Style magazines for defamation in October 2012, after they claimed Cruise had “abandoned” his six-year-old daughter. During his deposition, Cruise stated that “he had not seen his daughter in 110 days.” The lawsuit was finally settled the following year.
