Juliette Lewis has a "conspiracy theory" about Scientology, Tom Cruise and the public's perception of their religion. "The mainstream media is funded by pharmaceutical companies, so when you have the biggest movie star in the world at the time -- Tom Cruise -- coming out against anti-depressants and Ritalin and just saying, 'Hey, why don't you put a warning label on there?'" she says in a new interview about the Syracuse native's infamous 2005 interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show. "The thing about Scientology is it is anti-drug... So, when Tom came out about that, I've never seen someone get torn down so hard, and they still brutalize him with Scientology pieces to this day." The 41-year-old Scientologist added that she doesn't expect to ever see "a truthful word written about [the religion] in mainstream media."
