Host of “Celebrity Rehab” explains his comments about Tom Cruise.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, addiction medicine specialist and host of the VH1 reality show, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, apologized to Tom Cruise Thursday for comments he made about Cruise in Playboy, People reports.
In an interview with the popular magazine, Pinsky questioned Cruise's mental health and said that Cruise's Scientology beliefs could be the result of childhood neglect.
Bert Fields, Cruise's attorney, responded to Pinksy's comments by calling him a “posturing flake” who “pretends to diagnose people he's never met.”
“Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful,” Pinksy's rep said in a statement. “Although Mr. Fields's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm.”
