Run Katie, Run!

Faster Katie, he’s beside you! (Hehe, I can see his nips!)

Katie Holmes’ shock exit from her marriage to Tom Cruise is starting to look increasingly like a blueprint for leaving an abusive relationship. This is one of those partnerships that always struck me as bizarre. We hear a lot about how crazy controlling Tom is, and how messed up the demands of scientology are.

Now details are emerging that Katie used a burner* to hire legal representation in THREE freaking states (three) and wants to change Suri’s name to Scout. Using a throwaway cellphone is one of the tips given to women trying to leave an abusive partner, along with making a plan and confiding in a friend. Weirdly, an early warning sign of an abusive partner is rushing the early stages of the relationship.

I know I’m idly speculating here, but remember this?

Creepy.

Yep. No one was buying that shit, Tom. Mainly because you seem pretty gay, but also because the couch-jumping was just so freaking insincere! There’s just something troubling about this guy, he seems so ill at ease with himself and as a consequence his relationships with women never quite seem right. Rumour has it the ladies in Tom’s life sign a contract and that seems like a likely scenario, a few quid for 5 years service, a few extra for 10, jackpot for the baby-mamas. Scientology is weird man!

Meanwhile, Tom’s camp invite us to believe that he wanted a divorce, because he’s involved with his Oblivion co-star Olga Kurylenko.

Yep… alright Tom…again, just… whatever.

Either way this is a great message to women in controlling/abusive relationships. Make a plan and get out.

VIVA LA FREEDOM!

*A burner is a mobile phone you buy expressly for one purpose and then throw away. (Watch The Wire for more burner related information, and just general awesomeness.)
