Jerrod Carmichael and Tom Cruise beef explained
Jerrod Carmichael served as the host of the 2023 Golden Globes meaning he had a lot of stage time, which he did not waste.
Throughout the night, he cracked several jokes and told numerous stories but it was his cracks about Tom Cruise that quickly went viral.
At one point, he was seen carrying three Golden Globe trophies on stage and explained that he had “found the awards that Tom Cruise returned,” backstage.
If you don’t recall, Cruise returned his Golden Globes last year after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s scandal began.
Carmichael continued: “I say we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige.”
The joke took shots at both Cruise and Miscavige, who is a high-profile member of Scientology and hasn’t been seen in public since August 2007, according to The Daily Beast.
Like Miscavige, who is married to Scientology leader David Miscavige, Cruise is a prominent member of the highly-controversial religious organization.
At this time, Cruise has not commented on Carmichael’s comments and it is unclear if the stars actually have beef with each other.

What happened to Shelly Miscavige?
Over the years, Miscavige’s whereabouts and well-being have been the subject of several conspiracy theories.
Some people think that she is being held against her will while others believe she might be dead.
In 2013, prominent actress and former Scientology member Leah Remini expressed concerns about Miscavige, which launched an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Detectives were ultimately able to contact Miscavige and found her “to be alive and safe,” according to CNN.

The church later issued a statement, claiming that Remini’s concerns were “nothing more than a publicity stunt.”
“The Los Angeles Police Department has already stated that the case is closed and that the report filed by Leah Remini was unfounded,” the church said, via The Hollywood Reporter.
“Creating this unnecessary burden for law enforcement was even more irresponsible given the entire episode was nothing more than a publicity stunt for Ms. Remini, cooked up with unemployed, anti-religious zealots, such as Tony Ortega, who blog on the fringe of the Internet.”
“Sadly, rather than move on with her life and career, Ms. Remini has aligned herself with a handful of untrustworthy, lunatic tabloid sources who obsessively harass the church to advance their selfish agendas,” the church added.
Miscavige married her husband in 1982 and is now believed to be living a quiet and comfortable life outside of the public eye.
