Met Gala Divorce Obstacle

[Blind Gossip] This well-known actress lives in New York. She has been at every Met Gala for the past few years. She loves this event!

She was invited again this year. She made sure she did not have any scheduling conflicts for the night of the event.

So… why wasn’t she there this year?

We have the fascinating reason!

She goes every year, but this year she legally was prohibited! There were some conditions she agreed to in her divorce from her husband in order to collect child support. One was that she could not publicly support any religion except his. Since the theme of the Met Ball this year had to do with Catholicism, she could not go without violating the agreement!

She was really mad because she definitely wanted to go. She couldn’t stay in NYC and simply not show up without people asking questions. That trip she arranged at the last minute was just to pretend that she had another commitment. She’ll be there next year.

It’s odd that he is still controlling her after the divorce, but she is doing what she has to do to keep those child support payments flowing.

This is not about Blake Lively, who wore a gorgeous Versace dress and brought shoe designer Christian Louboutin as her date!

    I would love to see the divorce stipulations – but, she agreed to those stupid things – would have loved to see her actually have the balls to go anyway and take Tom to court for failure to support his child because of it.

    Katie Holmes

    Poor Katie, Tom has gone off the deep end with that crazy Scientology *

  5. jrgius says

    Holmes, and considering she was raised Catholic (as was Cruise initially) this is pathetic.

  6. headyeuphoria says

    Obvs Katie Holmes. I would feel bad for her but she knew what she was getting into with that nut from the start.

  10. DuncanCh says

    Actress: Katie Holmes
    She’s gone to the last 5 Met Galas in a row. And the “religion” is obviously the CULT of Scientology.

    Keep getting that money Katie! I hope she and Jamie Foxx are happy together, she definitely deserves it after suffering all these years.

    Katie Holmes

    I would usually say Madonna so much was good this year. Zoe Kravitz went more escort than goddess. Same with Miley. But Jared Leto looked like he had stripped an alter of stuff and threw it on.

  21. Squirrelnutkin says

    Poor Katie Holmes and nutso ex Tom Cruise.

    Worst dressed: hmm. Either Scarlett Johannson (awful dress, bad hair color and cut, so she looks like a 40 year-old bridesmaid!) or Selena Gomez

  22. aaaShuri says

    Katie Holmes, and the ever-controlling Tom Cruise and Scientology. She usually does a big thing for the Met Gala but left town beforehand. Such a shame that he and his religion continue to run her life.

  24. itstarapagain says

    Oh worst dressed? Ashley Graham. Massive noobs falling out of her top doesn’t exactly go with the theme. But what do I know?

  26. itstarapagain says

    Tiny Tom is ridiculous. Plus it makes his ‘religion’ look really really controlling and petty. I don’t understand how any divorce lawyer would approve this. Maybe he agreed to keep his religion away from his daughter. Maybe David Miss Cabbage insisted. So many possibilities.

  29. PettyBish12 says

    Totally Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise is the only person I can think of that’s insane enough to do this. As well she was seen leaving New York on the 7th and she’s a regular at the Met Gala.

  30. FoofiUnicorn says

    Katie Holmes

    Worst dressed was Solange, she looked like she had climbed into the carcass of Ursula from the Little Mermaid

  31. Sleepyandconfused says

    Katie Holmes
    Her crazy scientologist husband was def against it

  33. carriebradshaw says

    Katie Holmes

    Katy Perry was bad, this was not couture, but some karnival Costume, other bad dressed were Saint Laurent and Vuitton crews, ready to wear, they did’ nt even try.

  37. sippintea says

    Actress: Katie Holmes

    Top 3 Worst Dressed: Grimes (Elon Musk’s gf); Vera Wang & Lara Spencer.

  40. pitbull says

    Obviously Katie Holmes, who was photographed jetting out of NYC. Hilarious that Tom stipulated Katie, a devout Catholic, cannot be seen in public supporting anything other than $cientology. Even though he stated when they first started dating that Christianity and $cientology were compatible and one didn’t prevent practicing the other.

  43. felicia says

    Katie Holmes

    I thought Zoe Kravitz was worst dressed. Nothing to do with the theme.

  45. visioninblue says

    Katie Holmes, was spotted jetting out of NY yesterday, is the ex-wife of Tom Cruise.

  51. BruisePristine says

    Poor Katie Holmes. She’ll never get out from under that weirdo.

  55. lovefifteen says

    Katie Holmes, of course. Honestly, miss one stupid Met Gala is probably worth all that Tom Cruise child support. LOL

  61. bsnake72 says

    Katie Holmes!!
    and Kylie Jenner had the worst dress. Oh, and why was she even there?

  65. CharlestonChew says

    Nicole Kidman

    She suddenly jetted off to Australia and missed the Met Gala. She has a place in NYC. And her ex Tom Cruise is a Scientologist.

  75. deelee says

    It took me forever to figure this one out. For some reason I read that the ex-husband was Muslim, but then when I re-read it finally made sense.
    It’s obviously Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s cray cray Scientology.

  79. Raoul Duke says

    Katie Holmes

    Shailene looked dreadful, think she mixed up 2018 and 2016 themes.

  80. amagod121 says

    This sounds like Katie Holmes, but does she still live in New York City? I thought she had moved away?

    And ridiculous that she couldn’t attend as this event IN NO WAY promoted or helped Catholicism or Christianity.

  82. lovetheblazer says

    Actress: Katie Holmes. Not allowed to denigrate Scientology despite being raised Catholic. There are some other wackadoo clauses in her divorce arrangement like not being able to publicly confirm dating Jamie Foxx or have photographed PDA. She was also pictured arriving at JFK yesterday morning to leave New York, supposedly to prep/start pre-production on a new movie.

  83. Canyoun0t says

    Obviously Katie Holmes

    So many fails this year but the worst was Great Gerwig… Closely followed by Shailene Woodley’s disastrous look

  96. syamslash says

    Actress: Nicole Kidman

    She had a quick trip to sydney recently. Those divorce settlement from Tom Cruise must be something if she afraid to cause trouble to Scientology.

    [Optional] Who was the WORST dressed at Met Ball 2018?
    Anyone who came with plain dress or jumpsuit. Shame on you guys!

    • MsLaceyLoo says

      Both of her kids w/ Tom are adults. Katie Holmes on the other hand….

    • carriebradshaw says

      Was my first thaught, but the second one was” wait, the kids to be way over 20yo”.

    • staciegrenery says

      Kidman has nothing that Cruise can hold over her anymore. Their kids are grown and she’s made her own fortune. It’s also been so many years and remarriage for both of them that it doesn’t make sense. It’s going to be 20 years since their divorce.
      Katie Holmes OTOH, it seems like he has her in a noose. I feel badly for her. Girl marries her childhood crush, and he’s managed to control every aspect of her life years after divorce. He doesnt even see their kid, it’s just about control. So sick.

  97. SleuthingForFun says

    Has to be Katie Holmes, but isn’t her family Catholic? I could be wrong but this is my guess as Tom is soooo controlling.

    Optional: Amal’s, WTH was she wearing and she was co-host, I saw no theme connection.

  98. elliemff says

    Katie Holmes. I heard there were all kinds of crazy Scientology clauses in her divorce from Tommy Boy.

  102. smoolieloo says

    Katie Holmes.
    Worst dressed- Amal Clooney…the pants were all wrong for the beautiful town it could have been.

  114. redstilettos says

    The only person at the top of my head is Tom Cruise, but he hasn’t seen Suri since Katie left. I’m getting a $cientology vibe.

    • tellmemore says

      It’s weird that he just walked away from Siri, but that doesn’t mean he’s free of his obligation to support his child.

    • butwhatever says

      tellmemore, I’d agree that it’s weird: $cientology weird. Many religious cults demand that you shun everyone outside the cult, so I can imagine they would want Tom to concentrate on seeming like a hot property, and to shove the unpleasant/embarrassing past aside. (Nicole is his ex too, but people weren’t all over the internet rooting for her to escape.)

  115. wildaz says

    Oh my wow!

    Actress: Katie Holmes.

    There were several. Shailene, Solange (but at least she tried to stay on theme)…

  119. gonegirl81 says

    Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Bet she rues the day she ever got involved with him (besideshaving her daughter). He’s an *.

    • spookie says

      That’s awful that he’s controlling her like that. Also attending a Catholic themed event isn’t exactly “endorsing” it – look at Lena Waithe’s subversive outfit!
