Tom Cruise no longer has to wonder how his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise, feels about him. The 18-year-old has decided to send a clear and direct message to her estranged father with a brutal move.
The only daughter of Katie Holmes has also been using her voice to let Tom Cruise know precisely where she stands. Recently, Suri, a burgeoning actress and fashion designer, took part in a performance at Head Over Heels in New York.
According to people who attended the show, the teenager was proudly supported by her mother, Katie Holmes, and her maternal grandparents, Martin and Kathleen.
Suri Cruise delivered a riveting performance in the role of Philoclea. By all accounts, Tom Cruise was not present.
It has been confirmed that Suri Cruise made the surprising move to change her last name on the casting sheet. In a poignant move, Suri dropped her father’s last name and instead chose to adopt her mother’s middle name.
She was listed as Suri Noelle for the performance. This symbolic decision speaks volumes about her feelings towards her father and her desire to distance herself from him.
On April 18th, Suri Cruise celebrates her 18th birthday, and for the very first time, she made it known how she feels about the fact that her father abandoned her at the age of six.
When the action star divorced Katie Holmes in 2012, he picked the beliefs and rules of the Church of Scientology over his daughter and never looked back.
Tom Cruise has skipped birthdays, Christmases, school performances, and graduations. Sources revealed that Tom Cruise is not at all in contact with Suri.
According to a close friend of the Holmes family who spoke to The Daily Mail, Suri Cruise has accepted her father’s choice and has made it clear that he does not exist to her.
The young actress also makes her own choice — she is moving on. The family friend revealed that Suri has no plans to rely on her father for emotional support.
The person in the know claims that Katie Holmes, echoing her daughter’s sentiments, feels the same way about her ex-husband.
The insider stated: “Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer. He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything.”
The person continued by making this heartbreaking revelation about Suri Cruise: “She feels that she has one parent, and that is her mother.”
Moreover, insiders say Suri wants to focus on remaining “a private citizen.” The source shared: “She’s currently weighing up her options for the future. But she plans on remaining a private citizen.”
Some observers say the legendary movie star is unlikely to change stance on the matter.
