Tom Cruise at Olympics would be ‘disgrace’, say French anti-cult groups

Anti-cult activists have condemned the likely appearance of Hollywood actor and well-known Scientologist Tom Cruise at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday.
While his attendance has not been confirmed, the “Mission Impossible” star is widely expected to be part of the Games’ final show, angering a French umbrella group for cult victims.
“The simple fact that we are talking about his presence is an insult to victims,” said Catherine Katz, a former French judge who heads UNADFI, a group dedicated to defending victims of cults. “It really is a bad message.”
harline Delporte, the president of victims’ association Caffes, called it “a disgrace”.
Anti-cult activists like Katz and Delporte accused Scientologist of recruiting outside Olympic venues, including the Stade de France north of Paris, which will host the closing ceremony.
“They are very present at the big sporting events, they will no doubt reach many young people, I am very worried,” Delporte said.
The movement describes itself as a religion but is considered a cult in France.
