Matt Lauer is a better person than I am. He came to Tom Cruise’s defense on the Today show in response to Paramount dropping Tom’s company. I think it goes to show what a great guy Matt really is. He actually made a really great point. If Tom was caught in a room full of hookers smoking crack, we (the public) would be most likely to forgive his actions. THAT IS SO TRUE! Think Kate Moss, Hugh Grant, Pat O’Brien, R Kelley, etc. Read Matt’s quote below.
“You know what, I have to say something. You talk about erratic behavior and things like that affecting the box-office and yes maybe he jumped on a couch, and I was in the middle of one of those episodes here on the Today show and maybe he speaks out about Scientology and some people don’t like that. But what about the stars who are in and out of rehab every week? Is that any worse? And yet you find movie companies still in business with them. So, this is all a strange world we live in.” (source)
