Tom Cruise’s son apologizes for anti-gay slur
Connor Cruise, in Indianapolis to DJ a pre-Super Bowl party, was apparently in mood to be teased about the New England Patriots’ loss to the New York Giants.
One of his repesentatives, Todd Krim, sent him a teasing tweet saying ‘maybe next year,’ after the game. Krim says he got a blistering text message from the son of Tom Cruise.
It read: ‘That was a gay ass [bleeping] tweet . . . U don’t say [bleep] like that about my team the second they lose. Low.’
Through a publicist, he released this statement to The New York Post: ‘What I texted was unacceptable. It is not a reflection of who I am and what I feel, and it certainly won’t happen again.’

I’m not surprised, after all he was raised and is a member of a very homophobic religion.
K. Martinez says:
Yeap. The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.
hollywood fanatics says:
Private text to other people? That’s an invasion of privacy.
Mark Bessenger says:
“It is not a reflection of who I am…”
Seriously? Apparently it is or you wouldn’t have texted it. Dawg.
K. Martinez says:
It’s not an invasion of privacy. Two people exchanged text and one of them decided to make it public. I don’t see where Conner told him to keep the exchange confidential. Krim has every right to make it public if he chooses to do so.
D. Charbonneau says:
It was a private tweet. The other person may have the “right” to publish it, but if someone published my private letters to them without my permission, that would certainly be the end of that friendship. I don’t like the comment and I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise–that’s for sure–but the stripping away of privacy in our social media culture is a far more serious issue than some celebrity’s son using “gay” as a derogatory adjective, which is ubiquitous for his generation.
