It has been nearly two decades sinceTom Cruiseused his appearance onTodayto criticizeBrooke Shieldsfor taking antidepressants while battling postpartum depression.
The unhinged 2005 rant accused the actress of being irresponsible and claimed that the medication didnt cure anything.

Shields responded at the time with an op-ed in theNew York Timestitled War of Words.
Comments like those made byTom Cruiseare a disservice to mothers everywhere, she wrote.
And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened.
And through it all, I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was.
And I accepted it.
