Church of Scientology leaders ordered the wiretapping of Nicole Kidman's telephones during her marriage to Tom Cruise as part of a campaign to break up the couple, according to an explosive new documentary.
据一份新的爆炸性文件指出,在妮可·基德曼和汤姆·克鲁斯的婚姻中,山达基教会领袖曾下令窃听女方电话线路,企图破坏二人婚姻。
Marty Rathbun, formerly the religion's second highest-ranking official, told Oscar-winning film-maker Alex Gibney, that his role was to "facilitate the break-up" for church leader David Miscavige.
前教会二把手马蒂·拉斯对获得奥斯卡奖的制片人艾利克斯·吉布尼说,他的角色就是为教会领袖戴维·密斯凯维吉“加速他们的分手”。
The church said that the "accusations" were "entirely false".
而教会称,这些指控是“彻头彻尾的错误。”
Cruise, the most outspoken Hollywood Scientologist, drifted away from the church during his marriage to Kidman, according to insiders.
知情人士透露,克鲁斯曾是全好莱坞最率真的山达基教教徒,但在与妮可婚后便与教会疏离。
The actress, who was raised a Roman Catholic, was already listed as a "potential trouble source" by the church because her father was a prominent psychiatrist, a profession for which Scientology has a deep hostility.
妮可由天主教教徒抚养长大,已被山达基教会列入“潜在麻烦的来源”之列。因为妮可的父亲是一位出色的心理医生,而这正是山达基教深恶痛绝的职业。
Mr Miscavage, the best man at their wedding, reportedly became alarmed about Cruise when he spent a year in Britain with Kidman in the late 1990s filming Eyes Wide Shut and did not return calls.
据报道,密斯凯维吉是阿汤哥婚礼上的伴郎,对阿汤哥和妮可在20世纪90年代末于英国拍摄电影《大开眼戒》一年期间不回他电话表示担忧。
Church leaders launched an aggressive campaign to split the couple as Kidman was believed to have persuaded Cruise to distance himself from Scientology, according to Mr Rathbun.
据拉斯称,因为密斯凯维吉相信,妮可说服了阿汤哥脱离山达基教,教主甚至发动了一场激进的“分裂运动”。
"I was to facilitate the breakup," said the former top Miscavige aide who left the church in 2004.
“我确实对二人婚姻破裂起了助推作用,”这位前教主助手坦白道,拉斯于2004年离开教会。
Mr Rathbun said that Cruise also shared concerns with him about Kidman during a church "auditing session" and suggested that her telephones could be tapped. He said that Mr Miscavige authorised the wiretapping, but it is unclear whether any information was ever collected.
拉斯称,阿汤哥还曾在教会听析期间和密斯凯维吉表示出相同的担忧,并暗示妮可的电话可以被监听。他称,密斯凯维吉授权了监听事件,但不确定是否有信息被收集。
The church also began aggressively monitoring Cruise himself. The information was then allegedly forwarded to Mr Miscavige, Mr Rathbun said.
教会也开始对阿汤哥本人采取了有力的监控。然后,这些信息据称都转给了密斯凯维吉,拉斯称。
Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001, and Cruise subsequently became an increasingly public advocate for the religion. Mr Miscavige also served as best man at the actor's subsequent marriage to Katie Holmes.
2001年,阿汤哥和妮可正式离婚。离婚后,阿汤哥愈发成为山达基教的金牌代言人,教主在阿汤哥接下来与凯蒂·赫尔姆斯结婚时,还做了伴郎。
