Remember when Nicole Kidman was a Classy Brod?

Remember when Nicole Kidman was a Classy Brod?
I used to be a huge, huge, huge Nicole Kidman fan. I was such a big fan that I couldn’t even totally criticize her for doing Eyes Wide Shut, putting most of the blame on her then-husband, Tom Cruise. And I liked her for a long, long time. She was one of those stars that you could always count on to show up looking flawless, and speaking flawlessly, and making it all seem so easy when you lead the life of such a glamourous woman. Then something happened, and I’m not too sure what it was. Perhaps it was when ‘every molecule in her body changed’ as she told Oprah after giving birth to Sunday Rose. I think she meant something else by it but I think she was right and I don’t think it was for the better.

She’s turned into this woman who seems to not have a brain in her head and doesn’t think twice before she says or does anything. And while she used to be somewhat tight-lipped or gave the obligatory ‘We’re still very close,’ comment, she’s now taken to ragging on him and about how horrible it was to be known as Tom Cruise’s wife. I don’t deny that it is a horrible position but not for the reasons she’s claiming. From Gossip Girls,

“Nicole revealed, “I felt I became a star only by association. We would go to the Oscars and I would think, ‘I’m here to support him.’ I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.”

But now that she’s married to Keith Urban, Nicole says she’s in a much better place, especially since her daughter Sunday Rose was born. “I can’t bear to be separated from Sunday Rose. That’s why I haven’t yet gotten a daytime nanny, but at some stage I probably will have one.”

Yeah, Nicole, you did only become a star by association and you should be nothing but thankful for it. Tom Cruise made her who she is because she was married to him at the height of his career. And if that made her feel overshadowed sometimes, that’s too bad and I don’t want to hear her pity party for herself. And one of the reasons why might be in a ‘much better place’ now rather than before might just be because now she is famous and can be known for her own work. But that’s due to Cruise, whether she likes it or not. And my God, now I have to hate her for making me defend Tom Cruise!

  • Nicole is STILL a very classy woman! You can spread this garbage all you want, but it's completely fabricated that she said anything against Tom. It's just the sleazy bloggers trying to stir up some kind of controversy--how boring.

  • This may well be a recycled quote from six months ago, but she ran to the press with the same sob story several years ago and then again before that. I'm getting so sick of her whining about how awful it was to be living in Tom Cruise's shadow, as...

  • Nicole Kidman's statement has been manipulated by those evil reporters that work in Marie Claire.
    She has never blamed Tom Cruise for anything, she has never said something so bad.
    All this envy and vituperation against this woman is simply...

  • Beofore insulting a classing lady like Nicole, you should do some research. How people can do so superficial? Nicole did an interview with Glmaour magazine more than 6 months ago, she wished Tom has the same happiness she has with Keith, and she...

  • Another observation that I had was that, when it was time for her to learn from TC, she learned alright, and she took credit for it. She was lucky to do three movies at the same time, sacrificing her marriage for fame. Is that what it takes to be a...

  • I have absolutely no respect for Nicole for speaking so immaturely about her past and I will not even mention her relationship with Tom Cruise because it sounds to me like she is not taking responsibility for her own choice of being married to him....

  • I agree with the prior poster. Someone has been reading internet garbage and not checking up on the truth. Go back to the original interview and then just maybe you will change your mind.
