Just before Katie’s attorney announced the settlement, Tom and Katie released a joint statement saying, quote, "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplishing what is in our daughter Suri's best interests.
"We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents." Consequently, no official details on the settlement were released.
RUMORS SURFACE REGARDING SETTLEMENT DETAILS: The decision to keep the settlement details private didn't stop the World Wide Web of Speculation, though.
RadarOnline claims that Suri is going to live with Katie in New York, while Tom receives, quote, "generous visitation rights" ... provided a nanny and bodyguards Katie recently hired accompany Suri whenever she's with Tom.
Their insider claims, quote, "Suri isn't permitted to be exposed to anything Scientology related and this includes going to any Scientology churches, parties, etc.”
But TMZ says the supposed provision that Katie's nanny and bodyguards have to be present at all times is, quote, "absolutely 100% false.”
They add that the agreement is not biased against Scientology, pointing out that there are restrictions governing what both Tom AND Katie can discuss with Suri when it comes to religion.
Quote, "There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents of the agreement reached between the parties."
He then reiterated the settlement is "confidential" and stressed that "its terms will not be disclosed."
WHY KATIE METICULOUSLY PLANNED EXIT - DIVORCE DIFFICULT FOR SCIENTOLOGISTS: It sounds like Katie Holmes had good reason to ambush Tom Cruise with her divorce filing.
Actress Carmen Llywelyn, the ex-wife of 'My Name is Earl' star JASON LEE, told the New York Times the church of Scientology made it very difficult for them to divorce. Carmen joined the church after marrying Jason in 1995, but five years later things started going south.
She said to prevent divorce, the church recommends couples undergo martial counseling, at their own expense, involving auditing sessions with E-meters, which Scientologists say detect unexpressed thoughts. “They think that once you unload all these bad things, you’re going to fall madly back in love with each other,” she explained. It didn’t work for Carmen and Jason, and they divorced in 2001.
She says the church also pressures couples into using in-house lawyers because “scientologists aren’t allowed to sue each other.”
