Tom Cruise Wiretaping Spy Lawsuit
Tom Cruise won’t be gleefully leaping on top of any sofas when he gets word of a new lawsuit with his name on it: A Los Angeles magazine editor has slapped the Mission Impossible actor with a $5 million suit over allegations Cruise hired shamed private investigator Anthony Pellicano to wiretap his phone.
According to documents filed at Los Angeles’ County Superior Court on Friday and obtained by TMZ.com, Michael Davis Sapir claims that the jailed Pellicano and attorney Bert Fields bugged his phone on Tom’s orders.
This isn’t the first legal tango for Cruise and Sapir. In 2001, the star sued Sapir for $100 million after Sapir claimed to have video evidence that Cruise “engaged in a homosexual relationship.” That lawsuit settled later that year. In the settlement, both parties issued a statement saying that no such tape existed.
In the latest suit, Sapir claims Pellicano illegally wiretapped his phone during the time the 2001 lawsuit was active.
