Until this weekend, Nazanin Boniadi was a little known actress, but that has all changed thanks to Vanity Fair article detailing how she was chosen by Scientology leaders to be Tom Cruise€s wife in 2004.
And now as more details have emerged about the beautiful actress it is clear that she is much more than just a pretty face.
Maureen Orth€s Vanity Fair article said that Nazanin Boniadi, an actress and member of the Church of Scientology, spent a month being questioned and was forced to give out personal secrets and details of her sex life with a high-ranking Scientology official before she was approved to date Cruise from November 2004 until January 2005. Now that's a shocker!
Nevertheless, as soon as the news broke out, a rep for Tom Cruise has denied Vanity Fair€s cover story, telling Us Weekly that all of the article's contents are false.
€The entire story is hogwash. There was no project, secret or otherwise, ever conducted by the Church to find a bride (audition or otherwise) for any member of the church,€ the Church released in a statement.
€The allegation and entire premise of the Vanity Fair article is totally false... We have been denying this ridiculous tale now since it first appeared in print four years ago.€
The Scientology's rep also criticized filmmaker and outspoken former Scientologist Paul Haggis who wrote to Showbiz411 on Sept. 2, confirming the Vanity Fair story and defending his friend Bioniadi.
€Naz was embarrassed by her unwitting involvement in this incident and never wanted it to come out, so I kept silent,€ Haggis wrote to Showbiz411.com.
€However I was deeply disturbed by how the highest ranking members of a church could so easily justify using one of their members; how they so callously punished her and then so effectively silenced her when it was done. It wasn't just the threats; they actually made her feel ashamed, when all she had been was human and trusting.€
But, according to the spokesperson, Haggis is simply €attempting to grab headlines and falsely slander his former religion€.
The rep also said, €No Church members were €used,' nor were they punished, nor silenced. This is totally false.€
For the record: The magazine also revealed that the 32-year-old Nazanin Boniadi was the top choice as Tom's girlfriend (and potential wife) in 2004.
Well, no wonder, why! She is one steaming hot lady!
