Katie Holmes Wisely Tones Down Her Divorce Publicity With Cancelled Red Carpet Appearance
E! reports that Katie was scheduled to appear in her first — highly coveted — first red carpet appearance since divorcing Tom. I can just imagine the press practically salivating at the chance to see freshly-divorced Katie appear at the Dizzy Feet Foundation gala. To add to that predictable “She’s An Independent Woman Now!” headline is the tidbit that Katie co-established the foundation three years ago, which reportedly helps support American dance education. So Katie is returning to her passions! She’s making time for her own pet projects! She is fiercely representing her foundation! She is — not going to be there, guys.
Katie got what she wanted from taking her divorce public, including winning the public’s favor and empathy. She may or may not have had dirt on her ex-husband that she was willing to leverage to secure custody of her daughter. But now that all that’s behind her, she’s ducking out while she’s ahead. Another well-played move by Team Katie.
