Kingsley Gloats Over Cruise's PR Crash?

Radar Online reports that Tom Cruise’s jilted super-publicist Pat Kingsley is secretly delighted over the mess Cruise and his sister-turned-handler Lee Anne DeVette are making of his public image:

Though Kingsley denies deriving any pleasure from Cruise’s punch line status, she couldn’t resist mentioning that in the “extraordinary 14 years” she represented him, “we never disagreed on the publicity recommendations I made to him.”
