	Actors - Kyle Bradford

Kyle Bradford is the stage name of American gay pornography actor Chad Slater, who specialises in movies featuring in nude wrestling. He is noted for claiming he conducted a homosexual affair with actor Tom Cruise, in an interview conducted by French magazine Actustar. The affair occurred during his marriage to Nicole Kidman. It is alleged that Kidman's discovery of this secret relationship was related to their separation.

Cruise categorically denied the story and sued Bradford for $100 million. Bradford denied ever having talked to Actustar, and the magazine since printed a retraction. He said of the case: :"If (Cruise's lawyers) persist, they will get a judgment against me for $100 million. Then I file bankruptcy and it's dismissed. They exposed me and my whole personal life by doing this to me. It's like I'm being harassed by the celebrity... I don't think I ever want to see another Tom Cruise movie in my life."

However, a Los Angeles judge ordered Tom Cruise to pay $27,900 in legal fees to Kristina Ann Kirstin, the ex-wife of Kyle Bradford. Cruise sued Bradford for $100 million over, but Kirstin tried to sell her own story about a Bradford-Cruise affair to the National Enquirer, so Cruise added her to the lawsuit. Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz raised questions about the logic of Cruise's complaint against Kirstin. Included in the four-page amendment was a declaration from Slater saying he didn't know Cruise at all--supposedly meant to show that Kirstin fabricated her tale. But Judge Munoz said the statement seemed to contradict Cruise's complaint against Slater." Munoz's ruling states, :"Plaintiff is blowing both hot and cold in this same proceeding. This declaration from Slater is the only evidence to indicate Kirstin knew the story was false when she sold it. Plaintiff cannot have it both ways." Cruise eventually dropped the lawsuit.

Bradford has since retired from porn. A message on his personal website thanked his supporters and proffered life lessons learned during "the very public ordeal I've been through."
