Sapir, Cruise and Fields have history – in 2001 Sapir’s magazine Bold published a $500,000 reward for video evidence that Cruise is gay, Sapir claims shortly afterwards they received an email with a videotape and issued a press release saying so.

Cruise vehemently denied any accusations of being gay and Fields filed a lawsuit on behalf of his client fordefamation, asking for $100 million in damages.

Sapir claims that Cruise then hired Pellicano to wire tap his phone during the course of the lawsuit. Sapir is asking for $5 million minimum.
