Nanny-to-the-stars Suzanne Hansen has written a controversial new book slamming the parenting skills of superstars Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.
Hansen makes the claim that she never saw the actress around her kids when she worked in Hollywood for celebrity couples. In her show-all-the-warts book, "You'll Never Nanny In This Town Again; The True Adventures of a Hollywood Nanny", Hansen alleges Kidman played only a small part in raising her adopted children Conor and Isabella.
Hansen tells PageSix.com, "I never saw her (with her children)." Hansen worked for superagent Michael Ovitz, as well as various celebrities including the children of Danny DeVito and Debra Winger, as has written a book full of delicious gossip and mini-scandals.
Hansen also alleges Cruise drew up strict confidentiality guidelines for the child minders he hired, so they would never be able to contradict claims he made about his own fathering skills.
She adds, "Tom would make his nannies sign confidentiality agreements that were so strict, they couldn't even say for whom they were working. So basically, if (Cruise) went on camera and said how he didn't have any help raising his children, they couldn't say anything."
"You'll Never Nanny in This Town Again" will be in stores this week.

I don't believe anything such as what was just said bye this such nanny for Nicole and Tom. Why don't people mind there business. I have seen myself plenty of times Nicole with her children in public and she looks and I know would be a very loving and nuturing mother. She put up with Tom Cruise for all those years, she's gotta be one hell of a good person. As far as Tom, do you actually blame him for any nanny to sign agreements on saying anything about his fathering? He's one of the biggest stars in business! He deserves everything for all his work as an actor. And so does Nicole! They work hard, and are very well known for their parenting. Anyone who adopts, has to be a good person first of all. I should know, I'm adopted myself. As for parenting in general, there is no perfect way to parent. No one is a perfect parent.
