Classes at Carnegie Mellon University began this week for Suri Cruise, whose famous father has continued to support her financially while keeping his distance, a new report says.
Even though Katie Holmes reportedly walked away from her 2012 divorce from Tom Cruise with a healthy divorce settlement, it’s probably still a relief to her that he’s footing the $84,000 a year it costs in tuition and living expenses for their daughter Suri to go to Carnegie Mellon University.
In a September 2013 deposition for the case, the Hollywood mega-star vehemently objected to a report by In Touch that said he had cut ties with then-7-year-old Suri after Holmes divorced him. He took issue with the publication claiming that he, a top celebrity member of Scientology, had chosen the church over his daughter “for good.”
“‘Abandoned by Daddy,’” Cruise said angrily in the deposition, referring to the headline of the story. “I mean, come on, that is absolutely disgusting. That is absolutely disgusting.”
It soon emerged that Cruise had other plans that weekend. He was photographed attending one of Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour performances at Wembley Stadium in London.
