Brooke Shields says Tom Cruise apologized for postpartum depression rant, attacked her ‘because he could’

Nearly 20 years after receiving criticism from Tom Cruise for her “irresponsible” approach to treating postpartum depression, Brooke Shields is opening up about the apology she “eventually” received from the Golden Globe-winning actor. 

In her new memoir, “Brooke Shields is Not Allowed To Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman,” the Golden Globe nominee detailed Cruise’s apology after his explosive interview with former “Today” show host Matt Lauer in 2005, saying the “Top Gun” actor attacked her “because he could.”

During his interview, Cruise claimed Shields’ prescription for postpartum depression “didn’t cure anything.”
