Quote: Paramount cuts ties with Tom Cruise Chairman says the star’s behavior was unacceptable to the company
Updated: 27 minutes ago NEW YORK - Paramount Pictures has severed its 14-year-old ties to Tom Cruise’s production company because of his off-screen behavior, the chairman of the studio’s parent company said Wednesday in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The report signaled the end of one of the most lucrative production deals commanded by any A-list Hollywood star and followed other signs that Cruise’s public stature had been damaged by his conduct during the past year.
Cruise’s representatives and officials from Viacom and Paramount did not have any immediate comment on the report.
