Katie Holmes has had enough of the rumors swirling about her daughter, Suri Cruise, and she’s not holding back.
The 45-year-old actress, known for her private approach to life with her now-18-year-old daughter, took to Instagram on Sunday (December 8) to set the record straight. Suri, whom Katie shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, became the centre of media buzz following a report claiming that a trust fund from Tom and another from Katie had “kicked in” to make Suri a millionaire.
Katie wasted no time debunking the claim, sharing a screenshot of the Daily Mail headline, which read: “Suri Cruise the millionaire! Tom Cruise’s trust fund has ‘kicked in,’ and mom Katie Holmes has one for her too.” Over the headline, Katie firmly wrote: “Completely False,” and captioned the post with a succinct, “Enough.” She added a direct callout to the publication: “Daily Mail, you can stop making stuff up.”
Suri, who turned 18 in April this year, has largely been shielded from public scrutiny by her mother over the years. However, this particular rumor struck a chord with Katie, leading her to take an unusually public stance.
The Instagram post ignited a flood of comments from fans and followers, many applauding Katie for standing up for her daughter. Among the reactions, one user left a lengthy comment about the importance of “perspective” regarding their circumstances.
Katie took the time to respond directly, explaining why this story prompted her to speak out. “In the world today, I don’t want a target on my child’s back. It’s dangerous,” she wrote, adding a layer of urgency and concern to her decision to post the denial.
For years, Katie has been fiercely protective of her daughter’s privacy, rarely addressing rumours or gossip. Her decision to address this specific claim highlights not just her frustration with the media but also her deep concern for Suri’s safety and wellbeing as she steps into adulthood.
Katie’s straightforward clapback has resonated with fans who admire her for prioritising her role as a mother above all else. With her direct approach and a clear message, Katie Holmes has once again demonstrated her commitment to safeguarding her daughter’s future—and her willingness to call out falsehoods when necessary.
