Five crew members have reportedly quit after the Hollywood star's expletive-ridden rant became public


Entertainment Desk December 18, 2020

Five crew members have reportedly quit Mission: Impossible 7 filming after another rant by Hollywood star Tom Cruise, according to the Sun.

The Hollywood star left many on the fence with his leaked audio in which he can be heard giving an earful to crew members of Mission: Impossible for violating Covid-19 guidelines.

So as per the latest development on the Top Gun star’s enraged reaction, five crew members have quit the project.

“The first outburst was big but things haven't calmed since. Tension has been building for months and this was the final straw. Since it became public there has been more anger and several staff members have walked,” The Sun quoted a source as saying.

“But Tom just can't take any more after all the lengths they have gone to just to keep filming at all. He's upset others aren't taking it as seriously as him. In the end, he's the one who carries the can,” they added, maintaining anonymity.

Cruise’s expletive-ridden rant against members of the crew has clearly landed him in hot waters. In the clip he can be heard saying, "I don't ever want to see it again, ever! And if you don't do it you're fired, if I see you do it again you're [expletive] gone. And if anyone in this crew does it – that's it... and you too and you too! And you, don't you ever [expletive] do it again.”

"I'm on the phone with every [expletive] studio at night, insurance companies, producers, and they're looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs you [expletive],” he added.
