Daily Mail reports:
The unknown trophy wife of a Hollywood film executive has been revealed as the unlikely driving force behind Tom Cruise’s dramatic firing this week. Paula Fortunato, 43, the wife of 83-year-old Sumner Redstone, the Viacom chairman who sacked Cruise, took a dislike to the actor after he publicly criticised the actress Brooke Shields for using post-natal anti-depressants. An ‘incensed’ Fortunato advised her ageing husband that the comments Cruise made live on television, which are in line with his Scientology beliefs, had forever turned female fans off him.
And the New York Daily News has:
Spielberg’s longtime producing partner, Kathleen Kennedy, yesterday disputed claims that the director was miffed over Cruise’s behavior while promoting "War of the Worlds" last summer."It’s not true," Kennedy, who produced the movie, told the Daily News. "[Cruise] was a consummate professional. He’s done nothing wrong." Kennedy said Cruise realizes he went over the line when he bashed Shields for taking antidepressants to fight postpartum depression. "That, he deeply regrets," she said.
