Bold Backlash
As reports of Nicole Kidman's perceived neglect of her adopted children made headlines worldwide, critics slammed her for seemingly displaying differential love toward her biological and adopted kids. However, those close to Kidman understood the complexity of her relationship with her older children, acknowledging that her choices stemmed from their differing life paths. Nevertheless, she continued to emphasize her unwavering love for all of her children.
"They are adults," she explained to Who magazine. "They can make their own decisions. They have chosen to be Scientologists, and as a mother, it's my job to love them."
