I Did Not Audition to Date Tom Cruise: Scarlett Johansson Shoots Down Claim from Former Scientologist

"Avengers" star Scarlett Johansson is calling BS on an interview given by former Scientologist member Brendan Tighe on "Megyn Kelly Today."

The Black Widow auditions to date no man. Not even you, Tom Cruise.

"Avengers" star Scarlett Johansson is calling B.S. on an interview given by former Scientologist member Brendan Tighe on "Megyn Kelly Today."

Tighe told Kelly Wednesday that while serving as a member of Cruise's Scientology security unit, he was accidentally sent a report of women who auditioned to be in a relationship with Cruise and one of them was Johansson. Tighe said he only recalled Johansson because it was the only name he recognized.

But Johansson said the idea was ludicrous.

"The very idea of any person auditioning to be in a relationship is so demeaning. I refuse for anyone to spread the idea that I lack the integrity to choose my own relationships. Only a man aka Brendan Tighe would come up with a crazy story like that," Johansson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
