Going back a couple of pages but . . . the statement that Tommy/Davey wanted a Mrs. Cruise that would be under her own power/have her own power like Nicole makes the selection of KHo doubly dubious.  Exactly what power did/does KHo have?  I think right now Blohan has more power than KHo and she certainly did back in 2005. 

And wanting someone who wouldn't "make too many waves"?  I don't know that I would use that description although KHo did appear brain dead throughout most of their amazing showmance. 

Furthermore, KHo, IMO, is hardly "weaker" or "more innocent".  She'd been in the biz since she was 16.  Innocent my ass.  She knew exactly what she was signing up for, if not the specifics than certainly that she was going to be the faux bride of Tommy, and she was all for it - - when she thought she would be elevated to A list status. 


Blohan did have more power and influence in '05 than KHo had. It's true. 

I do think that the fact that Tommy tested and discarded multiple beards sheds doubt on the story that KHo was kidnapped and brainwashed. If he really wanted to do that, then why not do that with someone he actually wanted?

IMHO, I think by the time KHo met her amaaazing man, she probably was aware he was auditioning beards. She must have given him some indication that she was willing to go along with this or else he would have discarded her with the rest.
