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,

“There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance,” he told in an interview. “The thing that I’m saying about Brooke is that there’s misinformation. She doesn’t understand the history of psychiatry.”

However, the Mission: Impossible star comments hurt her sentiments. She slammed him for making such insensitive remarks. Shortly after a few encounters, he issued an apology to the actress personally.

Earlier this year, she acknowledged the incident and stated it was rather “ridiculous.” Her two-part documentary, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields will debut on Hulu later this year.
