Golden Globes: That Tom Cruise & Shelly Miscavige joke explained (Dexerto)

Jerrod Carmichael made a joke about Tom Cruise and Shelly Miscavige at the Golden Globes - if you don't know who she is, we'll break it down.

She was his shadow, not only because she was married to him but also because she was his top aide. “Scientology has always done a great job at ingratiating itself with law enforcement despite being experts in obstructing justice,” she alleged. She has not appeared in public since 2007, and her whereabouts have been the subject of intense speculation over the past decade. Cruise won awards for his performances in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, and Magnolia. Two missing person reports have been filed with the LAPD, which classified them as “unfounded.” For her not to be in attendance was not only unusual but also unimaginable,” she wrote. While Shelly’s lawyer “categorically confirmed that she is not missing and devotes her time to the work of the Church of Scientology” to It’s the three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned,” he said. In 2016, he told During the show, Jerrod Carmichael returned to the stage holding three Golden Globes. So, it’s a beautiful religion. [tweeted](https://twitter.com/ava/status/1391835565952159748?s=20): “That time that Tom Cruise sent his @goldenglobes for Jerry Maguire, Magnolia and Born on the Fourth of July in an actual box to the reception desk of HFPA to stand against their sexist, homophobic, racist practices of exclusion, harassment, and bias.”

What happened to Shelly Miscavige? Golden Globes host Jerrod ... (Sportskeeda)

Jerrod Carmichael made a Shelly Miscavige joke while hosting the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, leaving the audience and social media users stunned.

Journalist Tony Ortega claimed that members of the Sea Organization allegedly said that Shelly was on a special project. She also claimed that her question led to “months of cruel interrogations and reprogramming for the high crime of asking where Shelly was.” Some believe that she was sent to CST in 2005 and was only allowed to see her family if any member passed away. Almost like a drug addict, or like she was homeless.” The actress also a filed a missing persons report with the LAPD in 2013, nearly five years after Shelly’s disappearance. “She was a thin, smaller woman, escorted by two men. Shelly was last seen in public at her father’s funeral in 2007 and her disappearance remains unsolved. While the phrase “Where’s Shelly?” is considered a taboo within Scientology, it is a question often raised by critics of the cult. Cruise is currently among the most-profile Scientologists. However, the former reportedly started attending events without his wife in 2005. "Mrs. I’m just a host briefly, or whatever, but I have a pitch I think.”

Shelly Miscavige Scientology: Jerrod Carmichael Tom Cruise joke ... (NationalWorld)

Actress Leah Remini responded to the comment made by the Golden Globe's host by asking 'where is Shelly??'

I mean, he needs to make sure he’s got security with him or something. “I still can’t believe Jerrod Carmichael made a flipping Shelly Miscavige joke. @LeahRemini and others have been fighting for proof of her well-being for years. Cruise, who was not present during the 2023 awards ceremony, famously returned his Globes in 2021 in protest of the HFPA following its diversity scandal after it was revealed that the voting body had no Black members at the time. A statement from the church at the time said: “This ill-advised, ludicrous self promotion and media inquiries it generated caused an inexcusable distraction for the LAPD. The police told American actress Leah Remini (The King of Queens, Kevin Can Wait) had been a member of the Church of Scientology since she was nine years old, but in 2013 made the decision to leave. Miscavige has been working nonstop in the Church, as she always has”. Her current status is unknown”. Born Michele Diance Barnett on 18 January 1961, Miscavige is married to the Scientology leader David Miscavige and has not been seen in public since August of 2007. Advertisement Hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, the night saw some of the biggest names in entertainment gathered together on the red carpet - however, audiences might not be as familiar with a particular name that has caused quite the stir.
