Nicole Kidman previously warned everyone about Tom Cruise and his behavior, and here are the top 10 red flags she pointed out. Despite the glamorous fairy tale portrayed by the media, Kidman hinted that all was not well in her marriage to Cruise. One of the initial red flags was Cruise's controlling nature. Kidman revealed that during their relationship, she had to give up her career ambitions and adapt to his schedule. Additionally, Cruise's involvement with Scientology raised concerns for Kidman. She reportedly tried to embrace the religion but ultimately struggled with it. Another red flag was Cruise's excessive need for privacy.

Kidman mentioned how she felt isolated due to their strict rule of not discussing their personal lives with anyone. The actor's changing mindset over their adopted children also worried Kidman. She claimed that Cruise suddenly wanted to raise the kids in a strict Scientology environment, which contradicted their prior agreement. Furthermore, Cruise's intense focus on his work sometimes overshadowed his family life. Kidman recalled moments when she had to compromise her own career for the sake of Cruise's. Another concerning behavior was Cruise's temper. Kidman implied that he could become volatile and hold grudges against people. The actress also spoke about Cruise's manipulative tendencies, describing instances where she felt gaslighted. Lastly, Kidman hinted at a lack of emotional intimacy in their relationship, stating that she felt more like a distant observer rather than a true partner. Despite all these red flags, it seems that the warning signs were not heeded until much later when their marriage ultimately ended in divorce.
