Suri Cruise may have a well-established reputation as the nepo-baby daughter of two wealthy actors, but Katie Holmes swears her daughter isn’t a trust-fund baby. Last week, the Daily Mail caught the actress’s attention when it reported that her teenage daughter had suddenly come into “a great deal of money.” Anonymous sources claimed that Suri, upon turning 18 in April, had gained access to a trust fund set up by her estranged dad, Tom Cruise. The tabloid also labeled Suri a “rich teenager who can do as she wants.” Subtle! But according to Holmes, that report is “completely false.”
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Holmes shared screenshots of the Daily Mail article, writing “You can stop making stuff up” and “Enough.” When a commenter prodded the 45-year-old about her family’s apparent Champagne problems — “Hey are you worried if you can pay your rent AND eat this month? No? Yea me either ???????? I Wish these were my problems” — Holmes doubled down on defending her daughter. “I don’t disagree,” she responded. “But in the world today, I don’t want a target on my child’s back. It’s dangerous.”
You know who’s probably not worried about their millionaire status? Suri, who is currently a freshman at Carnegie Mellon and reportedly healing from a breakup. I can’t speak for the daughter of two famous people, but as a former college student, nothing really outweighs the dread of 8 a.m. lectures and the threat of a lingering hangover when you’re getting indoctrinated into campus life. I’m sure Suri will come into her millions in due time.
