Tom Cruise has spoken up on his ex-wife Nicole Kidman’s divorce with country singer Keith Urban, after 19 years of marriage.
The 63-year-old, who was married to Nicole from 1990–2001, explained Nicole’s split with Keith is ‘karma’ for the way she treated him after their own breakup, when he received far less public sympathy than she did.
‘When Tom and Nicole split, he caught all the blame and she got all the sympathy. He was painted as the bad guy … that stuck with him for years,’ an insider told International Business Times.
‘Tom was really stung by the way Nicole handled their break-up. She went on TV, made digs about his height, and painted herself as the victim, while he stayed silent and took the hits.’
Now, the Mission: Impossible actor felt ‘proven right’ now that Nicole has split from her second husband.
‘It annoyed him when this guy was painted as this saintly figure who’d swooped in on a white horse, so to speak, and rescued Nicole from the hellish memory of their marriage,’ they said.
‘He’s following the divorce news closely, and a part of him feels badly for her, since he knows how much she’s hurting. At the same time, he’s also allowing himself a little pat on the back and telling people close to him that this is karma doing its thing.’
