Laura Prepon Shoots Down Tom Cruise Dating Rumors

Internet rumors have been swirling that "Orange Is the New Black" star Laura Prepon is dating Tom Cruise, and even though his rep denied it and told "The Insider With Yahoo" that the two have never even met, the actress is now speaking out and putting all the false information to rest. In an interview with the website She Knows, Laura explained her thoughts about the speculation.

"It's just so funny that, when people don't know, they just make stuff up, [like], apparently I'm dating Tom Cruise right now. And apparently he doesn't want me doing the show because I portray a lesbian and I'm a Scientologist. This is false; where are they even getting this stuff? It's unbelievable to me."

While Laura and Tom aren't dating, they both are Scientologists, and that may have been what started the speculation. The actress is also opening up about her beliefs and the common misconceptions people have.

"The thing that sucks is that there's so much false data, because people are in mystery as to what Scientology is, so they just kind of make up stuff," Laura said. "It's kind of unfortunate, because then I have to be like, 'No, that's actually not what's happening.'"

The star of "That '70s Show" also explained that many people believe that Scientologists are antigay, but she is speaking her mind about how far from the truth that is.

"You know, in terms of portraying a lesbian on the show, I am a huge supporter of the LGBT community. I'm going to the GLAAD Awards in a few weeks. I went to the human rights campaign. I flew up to San Francisco and did this whole thing, and I won this award [for] being a straight woman portraying a gay woman on camera. I'm a total supporter of the LGBT, and they are an amazing fan base."

Laura also often feels misunderstood by people when they first find out about her faith. Check out this video to see what she tells them, and tune in to "The Insider With Yahoo" for the latest in entertainment news.
