I was Tom Cruise's robot: Katie Holmes said to have been controlled by husband

Tom Cruise controlled Katie Holmes as if she was a “robot”, reports in the US claim.

He is even alleged to have banned movie bosses from releasing stills of his wife kissing her co-star.

The claims described Tom, 50, as being “like a puppet master”.

Katie, 33, finally became “sick and tired” of the situation and shocked him by announcing a week ago that she had filed for divorce.

TMZ website claimed he had instructed producers to “kill” any promotional photos for 2005 film Thank You For Smoking which showed her and Aaron Eckhart kissing or “anything else compromising”.

It is also claimed he did not let her fly with the rest of the Batman Begins cast â€" allegedly leaving co-star Morgan Freeman “disgusted”.< /p>

Katie reportedly hopes to win sole custody of their daughter Suri after breaking up with the Hollywood superstar and moving to New York with the six-year-old to begin a new life.

She was seen buying the child gifts in the city on Thursday.

An onlooker said: “Suri was extremely happy.” But Katie is said to be looking thin.

The couple could come face to face in court a week on Tuesday as they prepare to fight over Suri’s future.

The financial settlement should be easier to agree because a pre-nup apparently entitles her to around £10million, plus costs for looking after the child.
