Tom Cruise buried his mother

In the family of 54-year-old Tom Cruise, a great grief happened. At the age of 80, the celebrity mother of Mary Lee Saus died. Lately, there have been rumors in their relationship, but Tom always said that it was thanks to her support that he became an actor.

Mournful event

On the demise at the 81st year of life, Mary Lee South, who in her youth, like her famous son Tom Cruise, also starred in the movies, foreign media reported yesterday.

The woman died last week in a dream after a long illness, then her funeral took place. Close Lee South, in particular, her famous son, did not want to draw the press's attention to his personal grief and therefore hid information from the public.

It is reported that the memorial ceremony at which Cruz was present, three of his sisters, relatives and a few close friends of the deceased, was held last weekend in the Church of Scientology, according to the accepted rules.

Accusations of callousness

In 2016, the tabloids wrote that Cruz threw a deadly mother because she decided to break with his favorite Scientology, of which he is an ardent supporter. Numerous fans of the movie star were deeply disappointed by his behavior.

We do not presume to judge how true this information is, but the last time Tom was seen with his mother in 2009 at the Golden Globe ceremony, and then in 2010 during a sports match.
