Los Angeles:
The Scientology church allegedly tried to alienate Tom Cruise's children Isabella and Connor from their mother Nicole Kidman since her split from the Mission: Impossible star.
Scientologists used fear-based brainwashing techniques for Isabella and Connor, when they were aged eight and six repectively, reported Vanity Fair magazine.
"The central problem (in the marriage) was Nicole did not want to deal with Scientology," former high-ranking Scientologist Marty Rathbun said.
The actress, who is currently married to Keith Urban, is a Roman Catholic and she once stated she did not want theirchildren to be raised as Scientologists.
Since the couple divorced, the church allegedly instructed Tom and Nicole's adopted children to reject their mother and her movies.
"They rejected Nicole - they've been instructed. They took a course, PTS/SP, Potential Trouble Source/SuppressivePerson, for persons connected in their lives who are an SP," said John Brousseau, former Scientologist and bodyguard tochurch leader David Miscavige.
"Bella and Connor whispered to me, 'JB, Nicole is an SP! Our mom's an SP - we hate going and seeing her.' The Scientology world hated Nicole," he added.
The church also allegedly did not like Mr Cruise's former girlfriend Penelope Cruz either. The Spanish beauty wasdismissed as a "dilettante" after she refused to learn about Scientology.
