“Beck’s family was pressured to join Scientology. Tom Cruise always persuaded Beck to the point that they had to avoid it. Tom Cruise felt hurt when he was rejected by the friend he had helped, so he distanced himself for a long time,” the source told. RadarOnline.

RadarOnline reported that Tom Cruise decided to ignore the Beckhams. Although the Beck family tried to contact and find a way to reconcile, Tom Cruise did not agree.
