Mission Impossible: Silent birth that could have helped ‘push’ Katie to the edge

In the church of scientology it is believed that no words should be spoken during childbirth. These never-before-seen images show that Tom Cruise clearly took this one step further. At the birth of their daughter, the actor ordered that his then-wife be gagged!

The shocking photos show Katie Holmes silenced with some fabric tied around her head, while she painfully but successfully delivered their baby girl.

The Risky Business star is thought to have adopted his own views on many Scientologist teachings, implementing more extreme versions by which the pair were to conduct their lives. It is believed that these strong beliefs, could have contributed to the demise of the couple’s marriage.

And this isn’t the only instance where Cruise has had control over Katie’s vocal chords. Even during their quick divorce, Holmes was unable to reveal details about their marriage.

It’s no surprise that Katie finally ‘lost that loving feeling.’
