Shakira smacked down Tom Cruise advances, but she'd do well to heed Katie Holme's horrifying experience
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After catching Tom Cruise's attention during a recent encounter at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami, Shakira allegedly started ''begging' him to stop flirting with her. Following their conversation at the racing meet, the 60-year-old 'Top Gun' star is reportedly smitten with the 46-year-old Colombian singer and might not give up that easily though.
Following rumors that Shakira had 'mesmerized' Tom during their Grand Prix encounter, many started to wonder whether the two celebrities would start dating. Marca, a Spanish news site, reports that the Hollywood actor had confessed to friends that he felt he had a connection with her. For Tom, who reportedly brought Shakira flowers after meeting her, the sad news is that she isn't looking for love right now, as per reports.

Katie Holmes was 'stalked for weeks'
However, Shakira should heed Tom's ex-wife, Katie Holmes experience who was 'stalked for weeks' as her marriage to Tom Cruise crumbled. In 2012, a group of unidentified men monitored Katie Holmes's every step. Two unknown drivers were observed following Holmes, raising the possibility that they were renegade adherents of the contentious Scientology religion, as reported by Daily Mail. Reports suggested that the clandestine surveiling of Holmes had begun even before the couple's shocking divorce announcement.
However, the Scientology Church clarified at the time that they were "not following Katie" or "conducting surveillance on her in the wake of her divorce from Tom Cruise," according to Gary Soter, an attorney for the Church, who spoke to TMZ.
But even rumors of such tracking should be a red flag for Shakira as the Scientology Church allegedly played a part in helping Cruise woo Holmes and eventually get her to marry him.
'Mysterious' men and vehicles around Katie's New York apartment
There were several 'mysterious' men and vehicles around Katie's New York apartment and following her when she went out during the time of her divorce, TMZ had claimed at the time. Specifically, a white Cadillac Escalade and a black Mercedes SUV were spotted close to Katie's residence in New York. Although their identities have never been confirmed, the outlet stated that sources believe the drivers of these automobiles were not journalists or the paparazzi.
According to reports, Katie's life was far from the idyllic fairytale with her Hollywood 'Prince Charming', Tom Cruise, as was presented to the world. The couple split up their enormous Los Angeles residence in 2012. Katie chose to move into a spacious shared area of the Scientology Celebrity Centre rather than deal with her husband's growing dominance, as reported by Daily Mail.
