For context, Tom returned his three Golden Globes — which he received for Jerry Maguire, Born on the Fourth of July, and Magnolia — in 2021 in protest of the shortage of variety within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
“Backstage I found these three Golden Globes awards that Tom Cruise returned,” Jerrod started.
#GoldenGlobes host Jerrod Carmichael makes a dig at Scientology: “Backstage, I found these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned…I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige.” https://t.co/m069JEKekW
Jerrod then evoked Shelly Miscavige, spouse of Scientology chief David Miscavige, who has not been seen publicly in years. Indeed, David was Tom’s finest man at his wedding ceremony to Katie Holmes — an occasion that Shelly was reportedly not at.
“Look, I’m just the host briefly, or whatever, but I have a pitch: Maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige,” Jerrod continued, to gasps from the viewers. He then went on to introduce Tom’s Top Gun: Maverick co-stars, Glen Powell and Jay Ellis.
Leah has beforehand criticized Tom amid his Top Gun: Maverick success, tweeting final summer time, “Tom Cruise knows exactly what goes on in Scientology. Don’t let the movie star charm fool you.”
Thank you to my buddy @claireheadley in your braveness.
You have continued to talk out regardless of the continuous assaults from Scientology.
And as Claire says in her put up beneath, Tom Cruise is aware of precisely what goes on in Scientology.
Don’t let the film star allure idiot you.
