How is the actor Brooke Shields connected to Scientology?!
Question: She isn't. She's been publicly slammed by Tom Cruise, a Scientologist, for treating a recognized condition with prescription drugs. He feels that his "Church" is a supreme authority "on the mind" and therefore he has the right to condemn her for using "psych drugs".
He later apologized as the entire incident caused considerable bad P.R. for him.

She hates Tom cruise gutts.
In May 2005, Tom Cruise, a Scientologist whose religion frowns upon psychiatry, condemned Shields both personally and professionally, particularly for both using and speaking in favor of the antidepressant drug Paxil. As Cruise said, "Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman, you look at [and think], where has her career gone?" Shields responded that Cruise's statements about anti-depressants were "irresponsible" and "dangerous." She said he should "stick to fighting aliens", (a reference to Cruise's starring role in War of the Worlds as well as some of the more exotic aspects of Scientology doctrine and teachings), "and let mothers decide the best way to treat postpartum depression." The actress responded to a further attack by Cruise in an essay War of Words published in The New York Times on July 1, 2005, in which she made an individual case for the medication and said, "In a strange way, it was comforting to me when my obstetrician told me that my feelings of extreme despair and my suicidal thoughts were directly tied to a biochemical shift in my body. Once we admit that postpartum is a serious medical condition, then the treatment becomes more available and socially acceptable. With a doctor's care, I have since tapered off the medication, but without it, I wouldn't have become the loving parent I am today." On August 31, 2006, according to USAToday.com, Cruise privately apologized to Shields for the incident, and Shields accepted, saying it was "heartfelt." Three months later, she and her husband attended the wedding of Cruise and Katie Holmes in November 2006.
