Tom Cruise is really gay.
Litigation related to gay rumors
- The Daily Express newspaper — During his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman, the couple endured public speculation about their sex life and rumors that Cruise was gay. In 1998, he sued a British tabloid that alleged that the marriage was a sham designed to cover up his homosexuality.<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference">[66]</sup>
- David Ehrenstein — Tom Cruise's lawyers threaten to sue Ehrenstein for his book titled "Open Secret: Gay Hollywood 1928–1998", that discussed Cruise's appeal to both men and women.<sup id="cite_ref-66" class="reference">[67]</sup>
- Chad Slater — In May 2001 he filed a lawsuit against gay porn actor Chad Slater (aka Kyle Bradford). Slater had allegedly told the celebrity magazine Actustar that he had engaged in an affair with Cruise. Both Slater and Cruise denied this, and in August 2001 Slater was ordered to pay $10 million to Cruise in damages after Slater declared he could not afford to defend himself against the suit and would therefore default.<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference">[68]</sup>
- Michael Davis — He also sued Michael Davis, publisher of Bold Magazine, who alleged but never confirmed that he had video that would prove Cruise was homosexual. The suit was dropped in exchange for a public statement by Davis that the video was not of Cruise and that Cruise was heterosexual.<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference">[69]</sup>
