Trapped in the Closet

The only reason Tom Cruise was literally in a closet in the South Park episode “Trapped in the Closet”, was Trey Parker getting around the legal repercussions of calling him gay directly. The Lawyers wouldn’t allow it, so he rewrote the scene to have him trapped in a closet. All the names on the credits of that episode read either “John Smith” or “Jane Smith” due to Tom Cruise’s and Scientologists’ reputation of suing people.
