Paperwork was filed yesterday that states Tom Cruise, his attorney Bert Fields, and jailed private investigator Anthony Pellicano allegedly wiretapped a phone call with Michael Davis Sapir.
Here’s an excerpt of an article from Access Hollywood:
In 2001, Cruise had filed a lawsuit against Sapir for defamation. In that suit, Cruise alleged that Sapir was circulating to media outlets a false story that Cruise had engaged in a homosexual relationship. That suit settled in November 2001 with Sapir acknowledging that Cruise was not homosexual.
Sapir now claims in court papers, “Pellicano wiretapped Plaintiff in connection with, and during the course of, the Lawsuit…”
According to the current lawsuit, the “plaintiff’s claims against Defendants arise from Defendants’ intentional and malicious scheme and course of conduct of intimidation, harassment, and invasion of privacy…”
Sapir is seeking no less than $5 million. Cruise’s attorney told Access Hollywood, “The lawsuit is absolute garbage. Mr. Pellicano was never hired to work on the Plaintiff’s case.”
Well that’s not a fun way to start out the holidays. I’ll keep an eye on this story for sure!

Hope the press from this situation doesn’t derail the PR for Knight and Day. I want the press Tom does for K and D to be about the film, and nothing but the film!! Maybe a couple of personal anecdotes would be nice, but nothing more than that!!
