Katie Holmes found a friendle! What is a friendle? It is a portmanteau of friend and handle, like a crutch, with a smiley face. Who is this friendle? None other than Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, the neurotic Nicole Kidman! 
 
Wow, Katie, you sure know how to choose them!  It isn’t a brand new friendship either. According to Us Weekly, “the women have been speaking since Holmes’ 2006 marriage to Cruise”. 
 
A source close to Katie says, “She’s been a private friend not many people know about.” No sh*t on the private part! Imagine what Tom and his cronies would have done, Scientologists love the smell of broken bones in the morning. 
 
Nicole Kidman is like the secret agent who saves the forlorn woman from the Mexican mob and death. She has been there for Katie throughout all of the drama with Tom, lending her a very bony shoulder to cry on. Katie has been reaching out to Nicole, as we believe Katie thought that Nicole has a PhD in Tom Cruise crazy. 
 
Katie reached breaking point (or a massive publicity stunt) in her marriage to Tom Cruise and before she filed for divorce, she reached out to Nicole again. They most probably discussed Scientology and Tom’s deviancy over Mimosas that tasted like tears and perfume. Katie laughed with a tinge of melancholy in her voice and placed her well manicured hand on Nicole’s arm, before mouthing “thank you” and winking slightly. 
 
“Nicole offered her support and help”. Yes, after they watched the finale of The Bachelor and played Charades with the kids. The Bachelor comes first in any unstable household.

Katie Holmes must have learned a thing or two from those cooky Scientologists and Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman because she could single-handedly take down the house that L. Ron Hubbard built all by using his “attack, don’t defend” philosophy to get sole custody of Suri Cruise. 
 
“Katie could blow Scientology wide open,” said Mark Rathbun, who was in the church for 22 years before leaving in late 2004. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rathburn writes a popular blog with former members and was Cruise’s auditor and handled his divorce from Kidman. “If Tom’s smart, he won’t fight her on anything, even custody. He should just try to settle his way out of it. She could press this sole-custody issue and litigate it and that would be the biggest nightmare in the Church of Scientology’s history. It would be a circus they couldn’t survive.” 
 
“With Katie, it’s like she’s taking a leaf from L. Ron Hubbard’s own playbook,” says Marc Headley, an ex-Scientologist who fled the church in 2005. “Hubbard always said: Attack, don’t defend.” 
 
It seems Katie’s lot might be easier than Nicole’s was. I’ve already reported on how much more powerful Tom was when he divorced Nicole eleven years ago and it seems a lot of the higher ups in Scientology who helped discourage and intimidate mainstream media from reporting on Scientology at that time have left the church. The field isn’t necessarily wide open for Katie to launch her offensive, but it’s not as narrow as it was for Nicole. 
 
Katie’s main goal is to keep Suri out of Scientology but she’s also trying to keep the church from turning her daughter against her. Ex-Scientologist Karen De La Carriere told the Reporter that Holmes may be legitimately scared for her daughter since Scientology deliberately turned the two adopted children of Cruise and Kidman against Kidman after their split. 
 
Although Rathburn says Tom was a “total gentleman” towards Nicole during their split, he does allow that the church, including Cruise’s home staff, began to poison Nicole’s image in front of her children. “Tommy [Davis] told them over and over again their mother was a sociopath and after a while they believed him. They had daily sessions with Tommy. I was there. I saw it.” 
 
When Nicole found out, she did try to win her children back, a source told the Reporter. But by that point it was too late. She didn’t have the resources to make a defensive play for her children who spent the majority of the time in Cruise’s care. 
 
Katie’s determined to learn from Nicole’s naive mistakes. She’s fired Tom’s people who were representing her and even went as far as to fire Tom and Nicole’s daughter, Isabella Cruise a couple months ago because she didn’t want her around, and potentially learning of her divorce plans. It might seem harsh, but Katie couldn’t afford to make any errors and she wanted to send a message. 
 
“By filing for sole custody of Suri, she’s making it very clear she’s not going to let what happened with Nicole Kidman happen to her,” said De La Carriere. 
 
Do you think Katie can take on a weaker Scientology or is this just the calm before the storm?
