Tom CruiseTom Cruise has admitted he was wrong to attack Brooke Shields over her decision to use medication while suffering from postpartum depression.

Tom attacked Brooke in a 2006 television interview after he felt she publicised the use of anti-depressants in her book ‘Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression’. Scientology takes a strict stance against the drugs and Tom suggested that women should use vitamins instead.

Speaking on the Oprah Winfrey show last week, Tom explained: “It came out wrong, it’s just not true.”

“I was raised by four women who have children and babies. I’m not trying or want to tell anyone how to live their life or what they should believe or shouldn’t believe.”

“I felt like I could’ve handled it better.”
