Tom Cruise accused of hiring a private investigator to wire tap a magazine editor's phone

Tom Cruise is accused of hiring a private investigator to wire tap a magazine editors' phone lines in 2001. The court documents were published by Radaronline yesterday. The magazine editor, Michael David Sapir wants $5 million in damages and says he has evidence that Cruise hired private investigator Anthony Pellicano, who is now in jail for wire tapping, fraud and unauthorized access of national law enforcement databases.

The lawsuit also names Bertram Fields, who was Tom's lawyer back in 2001 when Tom sued Sapir for $100 million dollars. The 2001 lawsuit stemmed from Sapir's efforts to prove Tom was gay. Sapir was the Editor of Bold magazine, who promised to pay $500,000 for video proof that Tom Cruise had indulged in homosexual activity. Sapir then issued a press release saying he had received an email with a video file attachment that could prove Tom was gay.
