A judge supervising Tom Cruise's defamation lawsuit against magazine publisher, Bauer Media, has dismissed the star and his legal team's claims that linked the publisher with Nazism and Hitler worship.
According to the Wrap, Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian said that the Bauer's possible Nazi sympathies were outside the scope of the case, Radar Online reported.
The 51-year-old actor filed a case against the publisher after they claimed that the star had abandoned daughter Suri after divorce with Katie Holmes.
In a letter obtained by the website, Cruise's lawyer, Bert Fields, wrote that the relentless defaming of his client and his Scientology Church is less surprising now that it has discovered Bauer's long and disgraceful record of religious hatred and bigotry.
This record goes back to the 30s and 40s, when Bauer Publishing was a fawning admirer of Hitler and the Nazis, publishing glamorous portraits of Der Fuhrer and they also published vicious caricatures of Jews that were very popular in Germany at the time.
The website has also learned that Fields has raised the specter of Nazism many times while defending Cruise and the Church of Scientology, as a whole.
