Tom Cruise has filed a $50 million lawsuit against Life & Style and In Touch magazine for claims that he had abandoned his 6-year-old daughter Suri

Life & Style titled a July cover story,”Suri in Tears: Abandoned by Her Dad” while In Touch magazine featured a similar article in August titled “Abandoned by Daddy.”

The two magazines which are under Bauer Publishing have now received a defamation lawsuit from Cruise’s lawyer Bert Fields.

Fields released a statement published by TMZ:

“Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri. She’s a vital part of his life and always will be. To say he has ‘abandoned’ her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible.

Tom doesn’t go around suing people. He’s not a litigious guy. But when these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he’s going to sue.”

These serial defamers are foreign owned companies with their global headquarters in Hamburg. They take money from unsuspecting Americans by selling their malicious garbage. Having to pay a libel judgment may slow them down.”
