Their history goes back to 2005 when Cruise made some insensitive remarks against the actress after she revealed in her book, Down Came the Rain about her battle with postpartum depression following her oldest daughter’s birth. In the segment, she shared how anti-depressants and therapy helped her in her difficult times.
Soon after that, he criticized the actress by stating,
