Tom Cruise is suing Life & Stylemagazine for $50million over claims that he abandoned his daughterSuri in the wake of his divorce from Katie Holmes.
The actor's lawyer confirmed to The Wrap that Cruise had officially filed a defamation suit against the publication in Los Angeles yesterday.
The lawsuit was prompted by an article that Life & Style ran in July with the headline, 'Suri in Tears: Abandoned by Her Dad'. In the piece, a source claimed that Cruise was not involved with his daughter's life following his divorce from Suri's mother, Katie Holmes.
The 50-year-old star's attorney, Bert Fields, insisted that whileCruise prefers not to sue tabloids, the Top Gun actor felt compelled to ensure the truth about his relationship with his daughter Suri was clarified.
Fields claimed: "When these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he's going to sue."
He added: "These serial defamers are foreign owned companies with their global headquarters in Hamburg... Having to pay a libel judgment may slow them down. Tom will undoubtedly give the money to charity. He always has."
