CONNOR CRUISE
Tom Cruise’s son, Connor, threw a fit on Twitter after it was announced that Caitlyn will be receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards in July. “Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK’D,” the 20-year-old wrote. He continued: “Don’t get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don’t let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award.” Cruise subsequently deleted his tweets after the online backlash became too prominent. However, he returned to Twitter shortly thereafter to defend his initial reaction. “Totally twisting what I said, if you read what I said I totally support being happy and am glad she is happy,” Cruise wrote. “We just need to as a nation and a world get back to business and making everything a better place. Way more about the problems the world needs to solve than about her guys.” Like, oh I don’t know, writing offensive tweets?
