Though Cruise's relationship with Boniadi was short-lived, it was later revealed to be under unusual circumstances. According to a 2012 Vanity Fair story, Boniadi was one of several actors that were misled by Scientologist leaders to audition for a "special project" which required a makeover, training, and confidentiality agreements. Allegedly, the project was actually a quest from leaders in the organisation to find Cruise another girlfriend after his split from Kidman.
In 2004, Boniadi was chosen to be Cruise's girlfriend, and within a month, the couple were living together. The relationship came to an end, however, after a meeting with Cruise and the Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige. According to Business Insider, the event that ended their brief fling involved a misunderstanding between Boniadi and Miscavige. "Overcome by a severe headache, Nazanin had a hard time understanding Miscavige, which infuriated him. The next day, Cruise — inches from her face — pounded on the table and screamed at her for insulting the head of the church," said Alex Gibney in the HBO documentary "Going Clear."
"Two weeks later, church henchman Tommy Davis delivered the news to Nazanin that her relationship with Cruise was over," the documentary revealed.
