Tom Cruise 'really sad about what's happening'

Washington, July 7 (ANI): Tom Cruise's lawyer has revealed that the actor is very upset with how the divorce is being played out in the media.

Although the actor's estranged wife Katie Holmes has been highly visible in New York City over the past week, the 'Rock of Ages' star has been completely missing in action.

Cruise flew back home from Iceland where he was shooting 'Oblivion' to Los Angeles on Tuesday for his 50th birthday, and many expected him to file his own divorce papers in response to Holmes' June 28 filing, which asked for sole legal custody of their 6-year-old daughter Suri.

"Tactically we can't say where Tom will file a divorce case and if he'll be seeking joint custody of Suri," Us magazine quoted Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields as telling BBC News.

Fields also seemed to snipe back at Holmes' very public post-split appearances in the Big Apple.

"We are letting 'the other side' (Katie and her team), play the media until they wear everyone out and then we'll have something to say.

"It's not Tom's style to do this publicly. He is really sad about what's happening," Fields added. (ANI)
