everyone siding with cruise is not getting the fact that beyond his behavior being super abusive (as usual) & there never being an excuse for that, he does not give one single solitary fuck if everyone on that set gets covid. that whole performance was staged pr for the cult.

Praising an anti-vaxxer during one of the most critical vaccine rollout is plain reckless. There are so many layers to it and none of it good.

He is very staged, calculating to his image, also a terrible person so maybe, but likely, covid fatigue w idiots who can't even wear a mask can set anyone off especially if he's dealing with the studios rules. it seems film industry is scared about its' future.

I get that Scientology's a cult that harms many people in horrible ways, so Cruise is judged for that.
But I feel criticism of Sci. is oft much harsher than toward mainstream religions that harm far more people thru doctrine/abuses. Many religions have more reach than Sci.
@nieshatrout
And if he really cared about others, he wouldn't be wearing a vented mask he's pictured in which is banned from using. So what he was really yelling about was fear of getting covid-19 himself.
@nieshatrout
I’ve just had this discussion with my housemate who thought he was completely justified. To which I said, I don’t think it’s ever okay to scream at people like that, especially at work. Nothing productive comes from that behaviour. Ever.
@nieshatrout
Agreed. Where were the voices of the crew? Not a sound. I bet he recorded that 20x before he felt it had the right level of sanctimonious outrage. Just early PR for his movie. I mean, we’re all talking about him as a COVID hero now, right? So obviously staged 😂
@nieshatrout
The screaming and yelling should be directed at our public servants who are failing to serve the public that elected them, not the people trying to survive and made a mistake
Hey maybe if you know the industry is in shambles like most others right now and people are losing their homes and livelihoods over it, maybe you shouldn't be screaming at an entire team threatening them with... their livelihood.
