Cruise Criticized Again For Attack On Brooke Shields

Actress Scarlett Johansson Slams Tom Cruise's Attack On Brooke Shields For Using Medication For Postpartum Depression

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson joins the war of words against Tom Cruise who criticized actress Brooke Shields in May for using anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan.

The Island actress brands star Tom Cruise as "ignorant" and sustains that women should have the right to choose how they treat their body and mind.

She says, "I think people have their own right to choose whether or not they want to stop taking a drug. I can go into a very lengthy conversation with anyone about a woman's right to choose and things like that, but I don't believe in forcing my opinion on people."

"I do believe that, in particular, children are over medicated. But I've also known people who've taken anti-depressants for a couple of months, and it saves them from what could really be a drastic situation."

"Ruling out something that could legitimately help people seems ignorant", she concluded.
