Tom Cruise's lawyer compares Dr. Drew to a Nazi
In an interview in next month's Playboy, Celebrity Rehab host Dr. Drew Pinksy reveals that, shock, a lot of celebrities are fucked up in the head. Especially Tom Cruise:
"A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."
In a response to Page Six, Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields naturally compares Dr. Drew to a Nazi. I mean, obviously:
"This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels." (Source)
Joseph Goebbels was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany. His divisive rhetoric led to the death of six million Jews. Dr. Drew is the Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at USC's Keck School of Medicine as well as the Director of the Department of Chemical Dependency Services at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. A lot of people think he has a great smile. Fair comparison? Yes, I believe so.
