pages 136-137, "Tom Cruise: an Unauthorized Biography", 2008, St. Martin's Press, by Andrew Morton:
"...While he liked to model his behavior on his political hero, Simon Bolivar, the South American independence leader, Miscavige ruled by fear, gaining a reputation for verbally demeaning subordinates and even hitting them, publicly slapping--never punching--those whom he felt had offended him. Some he spat on, a sign of contempt and disdain initially encourage by Hubbard. In sworn declaration in several lawsuits, he has been accused of striking subordinates."
"Guy White, Hubbard's son-in-law, came in for this treatment one evening when Miscavige and others accused him of committing "crimes." Miscavige ripped the lanyards from his uniform, spat on him, and slapped his face..."

I'm sure that there was a collective sigh of relief when both Tom and his cult found out what was in the book.
Let me make a prediction: Andrew Morton and his publisher will not be sued over this book. I haven't found one new thing in this book that I didn't already know except for the names of Cruise's boyhood friends... and I skipped over that.

That's my prediction too. Doing so could only result in even more PR damage than has already been done, regardless of the legal outcome. But we are talking about Scientologists here, so we cannot assume that they will do the sensible thing.

Getting a summary of long-known facts about Scientology into the hands of a couple of millions of previously non-inoculated wogs cannot be a bad thing.

They will not sue because the lessons have been learned, more unwanted scrutiny would come out with a lawsuit. Remember Fishman, and all the affidavits that came out, etc.

One minor but I think important correction to what was written above in the bio:
It is not actually true that Miscavige never punched anyone. I actually saw him punch one top WDC member right in the mouth. He also slapped another and choked yet another one in that room.
I assume that whoever told Morton the bit about Miscavige not punching anyone actually never saw him do it but I have.
Just wanted to set this straight! Stay tuned for a lot more info as I have a feeling that all this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is about to be exposed..

Or when everybody stands shoulder to shoulder, surrounding the bully and tapping sawed-off baseball bats into their palms.
