Washington: Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez’s family is reportedly worried about the star's newfound friendship with actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes because of the pair's involvement with Scientology.
Though Lopez and Scientologist Leah Remini have been friends for years, now that she has become friendly with Tom and Katie, she seems even more interested in the mysterious religion.
Lopez ’s curiosity about Scientology is believed to be the reason that she and her husband, singer Marc Anthony were invited to Tom and Katie's ultra-exclusive Italian wedding last month. However, Jennifer's family is very suspicious about the faith.
Lopez, who has been a Catholic since birth, was told in no uncertain terms by her mother Lupe and other family members that exploring Scientology could backfire on her.
“They fear Scientology could damage her reputation," a source was quoted by the Bosh, as saying.
Lopez’s family is particularly skeptical about her involvement in Scientology because they believe that the group may be using her.
"Her mom told her that the Church of Scientology would love to have her as a member because they could use the publicity to recruit new followers,” the insider said.
