Scientology Ruins Friendship?


The BFF relationship between Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes is reportedly over. The former friends have drifted apart since Victoria and her family moved to Katie and Tom Cruise’s Beverly Hills neighborhood last July.
Sources claimed Victoria and Katie eventually became at odds regarding the Beckhams refused to embrace Tom’s beloved Scientology.
One well-placed source says: “Katie and Tom want to surround themselves with fellow Scientologists these days, and they are distancing themselves from anyone who is not a believer.
“For Tom, a non-believer like Victoria is very dangerous. She is opinionated, strong-minded, privately very against Scientology and has voiced her doubts.”Her refusal to subscribe to the religion will surely have disappointed Tom.
In addition to the religion flap, Tom was allegedly unhappy that Katie decided to mold her image so closely to Victoria’s, even following her bizarre 900 calorie-a-day diet.
Katie is said to have been so enamoured by Victoria’s size zero figure, which she maintains with a 900-calorie-a-day diet of edamame beans and seaweed shakes, that her own weight has plummeted to 7st 12lb, more than a stone underweight for her 5ft 9in frame.
Katie has also abandoned her girl-next-door wardrobe of jeans and T-shirts in favour of designer dresses, and swapped her long flowing hair for a structured bob.
She looks like a carbon copy of Victoria. “When Victoria first moved to LA there was a degree of hero worshipping on Katie’s part,” says a source close to the women. “She copied Victoria’s look, the way she dressed and, worryingly, what she ate.”
Now Tom is reportedly concerned that his wife is turning into a Victoria clone. And it is not only the drastic dieting he is said to take issue with.
“In many ways Victoria is very un-Hollywood,” says the source. “She hates working out and has yet to go to a gym in Los Angeles. She lives on a strict diet, treating herself to frozen grapes to keep her going during the day.”
The last nail in the BFF coffin? Victoria suggested that Katie should get a tattoo, and Katie responded that she thought tattoos were “tacky.”
“Victoria considers hers to be miniature works of art, but Katie said she thought they were tacky. They didn’t speak for a while after that.”
God knows tattoos have ruined millions of friendships.

That is awful. Just because Victoria has an opinion and it does not coinside with Tom's dosen't mean she is dangerous. If he and Katie are so devoted to Scientology then why worry if other people are against it? They'll still be "faithful" so it is irrelevant.
This statement also bugs me because it makes me feel like Tom is oppressing Katie. Like she is the housewife way back when ehrn the women couldn't work and vote. I don't know if that is true but I would not be surprised if it was.

I really do not know if this is true but I do not think that it is right for people to push their beliefs onto others, especially if they did not ask for it. Also, maybe their friendship is not meant to be. All I know is if my friend tried to push their beliefs onto me and I did not like it the same outcome would occur.
