From the 2/27/2001 issue of "Star" magazine:
====================
Book blockbuster on Cruise divorce
TOM & NICOLE AT WAR
*--They lived in separate parts of house
*--Her secret Scientology confession
*--He made her watch his films before sex
[snip]
On Feb. 5, Tom and Nicole announced the split. Two days later, he
filed for divorce.
Nicole was devastated--the end came like a lightning strike.
"That was part of Tom's Scientology beliefs," says another source.
"The church believes there's no point hanging on to something once it's gone, and you should get rid of your past as quickly as possible."
[snip] But little can top one of Tom's early requests to Nicole, 33. He had her tape an "emotional" confession for the Scientologists before she joined the group, says the writer.
"Nicole agreed to take part in the 'e-test'--a kind of lie detector--inside of the church's L.A. headquarters," according to Clarkson.
"Now that they're getting divorced, she's said to be 'extremely worried' about the tape and is desperate to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

And from the 2/27/2001 issue of "National Enquirer":
==================== TRUTH ABOUT CRUISE DIVORCE SHATTERS NICOLE [snip] What's more, Nicole, who joined her husband in the religion of Scientology, now fears that she may be damaged in divorce court because of it, an insider said.
"She now regrets complying with Tom's demands that she go through Scientology screening before the marriage," the insider said. "There were lengthy taped interviews in which she bared her soul. She did it because Tom felt it was important. But now that the marriage has ended, she's afraid that people might use the personal details against her down the road."
