John Travolta’s cruise ship masseur case could be headed to trial


At this point, I think John Travolta’s reputation as a happily married heterosexual male, or even as someone who engages in consensual sex, is pretty much shot. Given how many times the guy has been accused of sexually harassing male masseurs, spa-goers and various male underlings, it’s hard to find someone who considers Travolta a victim of litigious individuals. There’s only so much denying and attacking his lawyer can do, basically. So that’s why I have mixed feelings about this latest ruling, because it seems like new details about Travolta’s creeping won’t damage his brand, since it’s pretty much already shot.

This case involves a cruise ship employee who accuses Travolta of requesting a massage on board in 2009, and then accosting him for sex, basically. When the man protested, Travolta offered $12,000 for his silence, which he refused. Travolta’s lawyer tried to have the case dismissed, which failed, then he tried to argue that it should go to arbitration, as per the fine print on Travolta’s cruise ticket. The arbitration request was denied by the judge, meaning the case could go to trial.

A California federal judge has dismissed a petition by the 58-year-old actor’s lawyer to have a lawsuit filed against him by a cruise ship masseur decided in arbitration, which would have kept a lid on some pretty graphic accusations.

Travolta was sued last June for assault and battery and infliction of emotional distress by Fabian Zanzi, who accused the Get Shorty star of disrobing while the latter was giving him a neck massage and then “forcefully embracing” him during a Royal Caribbean cruise in June 2009.

After claiming Travolta engaged in contact that was “nonconsensual, inappropriate, extreme and outrageous,” the suit also charged that the thesp offered to buy Zanzi’s silence for $12,000.

Travolta subsequently denied the allegations, and his pit bull attorney, Marty Singer, pointed to a clause in the fine print of his cruise ticket to argue that the legal dispute should be settled by arbitration, which would not only allow the suit to be resolved expeditiously but also in secret.

However, per The Hollywood Reporter, in a 31-page ruling on Friday U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson smacked down that argument, noting there’s no evidence that Zanzi, as a “nonsignatory,” is bound by the arbitration agreement the A-lister entered into with Royal Caribbean.

Consequently, Zanzi’s lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, now looks to be headed for trial—unless, of course, Travolta opts to settle.

Singer was unavailable for comment, but he previously told E! News in a statement that Zanzi’s allegations were “ludicrous” and “completely contradicted” by what the employee told Royal Caribbean back in 2009 when he reported to superiors that “the only physical contact he claimed occurred was allegedly touching my client’s neck.”

[From E! Online]

So Travolta’s people want us to believe he’s entirely innocent of all these consistent allegations by different people, over time, who have no connection to each other. If he settles this case he’ll keep some of the more sordid details out of the press, but that might be tantamount to admitting guilt. I think he should settle and just have his lawyer make some lame excuse about it, as they’ve been doing all along. People think he’s guilty, and it will only remind everyone about Travolta and the mountain of evidence against him if a whole new round of stories comes out with details from the trial. Plus, this Zanzi guy could easily get corroborating witnesses to testify that Travolta did the same thing to them.

But look – Kelly is standing by him! Of course she is, her brain has been washed so many times it’s mush.

John Travolta threatened to walk away from CO$ & ‘marry’ a man in the 80s

John Travolta

This week’s issue of the Enquirer has a preview of Lawrence Wright’s new book, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & the Prison of Belief, and we’ve already covered a bunch of stuff from this book about Tom Cruise and his hilariously misguided quest for the presidency, so now it’s John Travolta’s turn. John may very well be back on the CO$ wagon with bizarre claims of car-crash victim “assists”, and he also secretly longs to replace Tom as the public face of Scientology, but John wasn’t always so willing to be crushed under the alien-tentacled thumb of Xenu. In fact, Wright’s book claims that at one point — sometime in the early 1980s (the Urban Cowboy and Staying Alive era) — John was so fed up with Scientology’s intolerance of the gay lifestyle that he threatened to bolt and “marry” his male lover. Naturally, Xenu wasn’t having any of that nonsense, and since John is still with the cult, the rest is history. Here are the details:

John Travolta

John Travolta once threatened to turn his back on Scientology so that he could run off and marry his boyfriend.

That’s the outrageous claim made in an explosive new anti-Scientology book, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & the Prison of Belief, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright.

In the shocking tell-all, Wright alleges that a young Travolta had grown disenchanted with the church in the early ’80s but was afraid that officials would expose him as gay if he tried to leave.

Travolta, nthen the most prominent member of Scientology, had allegedly confessed his homosexuality during church-run “auditing,” or counseling sessions, according to the book’s author. And while the author states that the church was terrified their top member would be exposed as gay — long considered to be an “illness” by Scientologists — Wright believes they were prepared to destroy the actor’s rising career by outing him if he tried to defect.

Frustrated over being trapped, in one emotionally charged auditing session, Travolta threatened to walk away from the church and “marry” his male lover even though gay marriage was not legal at the time, former Scientology official Jesse Prince told Wright.

Prince claims he was the church’s second highest-ranking official when he left it after 16 years in 1992. “Because of my position, I knew specifically what was said in certain auditing sessions, and I can confirm that John Travolta once threatened that he was going to marry his boyfriend,” Prince told The Enquirer. “There’s no question (Scientology) had a lot on John’s gay activities and used it to keep him from leaving — and to keep him in line.

In the end, says another source, the church convinced Travolta that following through on his threat would NOT be in his best interest. He remained int he organization and eventually wed fellow Scientologist Kelly Preston in 1991.

Despite marrying a woman, Travolta, 58, continues to be at the center of gay scandals. In September, his former pilot Doug Gotterba told The Enquirer that he’d shared a six-year affair with the actor. And last spring, two male masseurs filed sexual battery suits against Travolta in federal court.

Although Travolta’s attorney vehemently denied the claims, several more men have since come forward with similar allegations.

[From Enquirer, print edition, January 28, 2013]

Naturally, the entire world (well, besides Kelly Preston and the rest of the CO$) seems to readily accept that John Travolta is gay, and it’s really not such a big deal that he likes men. Not a problem at all! What is a problem is that John apparently thinks it’s okay to assault other men instead of aiming for mutual gay encounters. That’s some pretty warped thinking. We’ve heard stories of his long-term, co-pilot lover, his spa-based dalliances, and that he’s got a very long list of male lovers. Sadly though, John would rather stay in the closet and sexually assault masseuses to get his rocks off.

In a certain respect, part of me wants to feel sorry for John as well as Kelly Preston for feeling like they need to live a lie in order to keep the CO$ happy enough that their audit files won’t leak to the press. But honestly, the public is learning so much about the evils of the CO$ that they’d likely find great sympathy if such leakage ever happened. And I can’t feel sorry for people who readily remain prisoners of a cult. These two are celebrities who could get out, but they’re just too afraid to confront the truth.

Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta’s ‘I Think You Might Like It’ video: no words?

This is so painful to witness. Last month, CB covered John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John’s campy Chrismas album cover, and like her, I still can’t believe this isn’t a joke instead of a real record that will (presumably, if anyone buys it) benefit charity. I’m not a huge Grease fan, which may be because I tried out for the part of Rizzo in my school’s 8th grade musical, and it was a total disaster audition. I remember getting through the acting part of the audition and getting called back for the singing part the next day, but my hopes were dashed when I spotted the music teacher actually cringing behind the piano during my tryout. So yeah, bad memories.

Anyway, John and Olivia are making good on their promise to ruin Christmas by releasing the new video to their “I Think You Might Like It” song. It’s just as awful as expected, and the lyrics include “making love all night,” which I really don’t need to think about in the context of Travolta. Gross.

John Travolta

Honestly, I don’t know what either this video has to do with Grease nostalgia except that it actually stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in black t-shirts. If I was a big Grease fan, I’d be majorly pissed off after watching John crap all over Danny Zuko’s memory. John would also like to remind us that he is a licensed pilot.

John Travolta

I presume that this is John singing to his absent wife, Kelly Preston. You’re convinced that they’re in love, right? Because they are a happily-married Scientologist couple.

John Travolta

Oh wait, now Kelly Preston appears for absolutely no reason at all at … an airport? Looks more like the car-rental place next to the airport. She also dances because she’s just so happy to be married to John, I guess.

John Travolta

By the way, thanks to Esquire for these screencaps, which saved me a lot of suffering and might just be the nicest thing that Esquire has done in approximately three years.

Kelly Preston admits her late son Jett had autism, blames chemicals for it


Kelly Preston and John Travolta lost their son Jett, then 16, in January, 2009 when he suffered a seizure and hit his head on the bathtub in the family’s home in the Bahamas. Prior to Jett’s death, neither Kelly nor John acknowledged publicly that Jett had autism. The family of course are members of the Scientology cult, which tends to blame people for their own medical conditions along with denying that certain disorders, including autism, exist. So it’s noteworthy that they’re stating publicly that Jett had autism, where they wouldn’t acknowledge that during his life.

While her son was alive, Kelly insisted that Jett had Kawasaki syndrome, which she blamed back then on carpet chemicals Jett was exposed to as a baby. In his 2009 testimony in an extortion case in the Bahamas following Jett’s death, John Travolta stated on the record that Jett had autism and suffered seizures. It was the first time that he had done so. In a new interview on The Doctors, Kelly confirms that Jett had autism and she blamed in on “contributing factors” including chemical exposure, a “hard labor” and the antibiotics that Kelly took while breastfeeding. People Magazine has the details:

Jett Travolta – who died in 2009 after suffering a seizure and hitting his head in a bathtub at the family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island – suffered from autism, which Preston attributes to a series of contributing factors.

“[Jett] was autistic. He had seizures and when he was very young, he had Kawasaki Syndrome,” she says on the Nov. 21 episode of The Doctors (check local listings).

“I strongly believe as a mother, as does my husband, that there are certain contributing factors that lead to autism and some of it is very much the chemicals in our environment and in our food,” she adds.

Preston, 50, says she holds a number of things responsible for Jett’s autism, specifically Kawasaki Syndrome – which usually affects children from ages 2 to 5 and can cause inflammation of the arteries – her “fast and hard” labor and the use of antibiotics while breastfeeding, which gave Jett thrush, an infection of Candida yeast which some studies have linked to the symptoms of autism.

The episode also includes a behind-the-scenes look at Alternative Laboratories to show viewers how organic products are made. Preston hopes to empower parents with information about living an organic lifestyle and being surrounded by less chemicals.

Since Jett’s passing, Preston and husband John Travolta – who are also parents to Ella, 12 – have welcomed another child, Benjamin, who is now 2-years-old.

[From People]

It is course controversial as to whether environmental factors can cause autism, whether it’s genetic, or whether it’s a combination of genetics plus environment. I don’t feel qualified or knowledgeable enough to get into that. What I do want to talk about is how Kelly sounds like she’s blaming herself for her son’s condition, which ultimately led to his death. She’s saying it’s her fault in a way, because she somehow had a hard labor or because she took antibiotics while breast feeding. I’ve never heard of those things being connected to childhood autism and many doctors say it’s safe to take antibiotics while breastfeeding. It makes me sad to hear her continue to blame herself. Many people did point fingers at the Travoltas for perhaps not treating their son’s condition to prevent seizures. The Travoltas claimed that they did medicate Jett for his condition but that anti-convulsant medication stopped working for him. Whatever happened, this poor family lost their child and it’s still very much weighing on them.

Did Kelly Preston buy herself some bolt-ons for her heterosexual husband?

CB and I were looking through these photos yesterday, and we couldn’t stop laughing. John Travolta and Kelly Preston – who, to their credit, are total pros – stopped and posed for the paparazzi while they were having lunch in Paris. The obvious place to go is “Heterosexual John Travolta and his loving wife and soulmate Kelly looked lovely and sexually engaged with each other in Paris.” But then we would be ignoring the fact that JT looks like a Village Person, and that NO MAN past a certain age should be wearing a nip-tweaking baby-t and trilby. We would also be ignoring the theory that CB and I now have that Kelly bought herself some new boobs:

Right? Look at her chest – they haven’t been that big since she was pregnant with Benjamin. Is she pregnant again (by her completely heterosexual husband) just in time to battle all of John Travolta’s (ALLEGED!) boyfriends and groping victims, who seem to be coming out of the woodwork every month? Or did Kelly just buy herself some new boobs just because, why not?

Also: I know I just called Travolta a Village Person, but you know who else he reminds me of? Justin Theroux. RIGHT?! LMAO.

John Travolta & Kelly Preston are in Greece: everything’s fine with this ideal Cos couple


Last month, before Katie Holmes made the brilliant personal and professional move to divorce Tom Cruise, John Travolta was fueling the latest Scientology PR crisis. Only people weren’t focusing so much on what a destructive cult Scientology is, they were just speculating that Scientology’s hatred of gay people had pushed Travolta into living a lie in a sham marriage. All the lawsuits against Travolta for forcing himself on various service professionals were making people wonder if he was so angry at being deep in the closet that he was acting out by preying on innocent men. Well the press forgot about Travolta in the wake of the sensational TomKat divorce, and all the subsequent news about Scientology the followed. But Travolta and his Cos bride Kelly Preston want us to know that unlike Tom and Katie everything’s fine with them! They went on a vacation to Mykonos, Greece, which incidentally has a thriving gay scene from what I’ve heard. Here’s the story from Radar, which also has a photo of the two of them in Greece. Gee, I wonder how that got out:

Putting his embarrassing masseur sex scandal firmly behind him, John Travolta has taken wife Kelly Preston on vacation, and RadarOnline.com has photos of the couple enjoying their Euro trip.

The 58-year-old Grease star and his 49-year-old wife are enjoying some much needed R & R on the stunning Greek island of Mykonos, which is famous for its vibrant bar and nightclub scene and nude beaches!

Fortunately, the Hollywood couple was fully clothed when they walked hand-in-hand down the paved streets of the vacation spot that is known as the “gay capital of the Mediterranean,” before stopping in at a local cafe for lunch.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, John and Kelly’s 21-year marriage was rocked by repeated rumors that he made highly innapprioate sexual moves while getting in-room massages by men, with the Scientologist actor’s attorney describing a lawsuit against Travolta as “malicious prosecution.”

[From Radar Online]

Gotta keep up appearances. This is the second known vacation for the couple in the wake of the scandal. They went to Hawaii in June, where they were also conveniently photographed. Their makeup trip was chronicled by the tabloids, with In Touch taking the “romantic reconciliation” stance and Enquirer the more realistic “Kelly’s hell.” I feel like Kelly enjoys playing happy family, that it’s something she’s bought into entirely, and that John appreciates her kind of glassy-eyed devotion. Kelly isn’t going to slap John with surprise divorce papers, even if she finds him in bed with a willing male participant.

Kelly Preston & John Travolta are in “Scientology marriage counseling”

Kelly Preston and John Travolta
This story just makes me sad. We know that Kelly Preston has been drinking the Kool Aid for decades, that she buys into her fauxmage with John Travlota like she buys into niacin, saunas, and electrified tin cans as cure alls for every independent thought that ails her. We just saw her hanging all over Travolta at his recent film premiere in an obvious, awkward show of solidarity. So is it surprising that Kelly and John are turning to Scientology marriage counseling in an attempt to save their relationship? Since Scientology fixes everything once you give them all your cash and free will. They’re also supposedly trying for another baby, because babies fix everything. Here’s the story:

Kelly Preston and John Travolta

“Kelly has called off divorce proceedings for the time being after John agreed to follow her rules,” a family friend told The Enquirer.

“With the disgrace she’s endured over his sex antics, the bottom line is that Kelly is worried a divorce right now would mean even more humiliation for her and the kids.”

The “Jerry Maguire” beauty is most insistent that the couple give their children – 19 month-old son Ben, and daughter Ella Bleu, 12 – another sibling, insiders say…

On the advice of Kelly’s closest pal and fellow Scientologist, Kirstie Alley, the two have also reimmersed themselves in intensive church counseling.

“Scientology therapy worked for them in the past, so Kelly is hoping it holds the key to saving them again,” the source explained…

“Kelly is willing to forgive but not forget, and she has demanded that John recommit himself to her and their family life.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, July 9, 2012]

I can see Kelly doing this. It takes a certain kind of person to stick with a man after he’s been accused of sexual assault by over a handful of men. But somehow I was hoping that Travolta was being so reckless and cruel because he wanted to get caught, and he wanted out of COS. Once he outs himself, the cult loses whatever leverage they had over him by knowing his deepest secrets. I don’t care about Travolta at all, he’s just an abusive creep to me after what we’ve heard. Still it looks like hes been deliberately sabotaging himself, and it would be nice to see the cult lose another high profile member. He’s never going to write a letter denouncing Scientology like Paul Haggis, though. He’s in too deep.

As for the part about how Kelly wants another baby, I don’t see that happening for her again at 49. They can always adopt, like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Also, I have to mention this blind item, which you can read over at DListed. I don’t put a lot of stock in blind items, but it’s possible that Kelly is getting some on the side too and that’s why she doesn’t care. If so, good for her I guess.

John Travolta & Kelly Preston go overboard with the PDA at ‘Savages’ premiere


We just heard yesterday that John Travolta was being sued by a cruise ship employee for alleged sexual assault that occurred in 2009. You can read the lawsuit details on TMZ. This man previously went public with his story and only just now filed suit. I find his story believable considering that it jibes with so many other lawsuits and details we’ve already heard. Of course Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, has issued a denial trying to discredit the man, like he’s done in every other case. It’s only a matter of time before the black SUVs come along and try to run the guy’s car off the road.

A lot of us have been rooting for Travolta’s brainwashed wife, Kelly Preston, to finally snap out of it and get out of there. Instead of cutting and running while she has the chance Kelly looks like she’s circling her wagons. These two went on a trip to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago in which Kelly is said to have mused that “if John was with his family more… these kind of allegations wouldn’t surface.” As if the problem is that John is away too much, making himself vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits. Whatever is going on, it looks like Kelly is still drinking the Kool Aid.

John and Kelly were at the Savages premiere in L.A. last night hanging all over each other. John is in this movie at least, so he had a good reason to be there. This is definitely a calculated move. These two do support each other at premieres but rarely do they show so much PDA. I’ve wondered how Kelly could not know about John, but I’ve also mentioned how really spacey and out of it she sounded in this last interview I saw with her. This is a lady who is a cult member living very deep in denial. She has a very materially blessed life and the COS can do a lot of damage to her if they want to. It’s in her own best interest not to question much and to toe the line.

E! reports that these two came at the very last minute to the premiere and that they didn’t do interviews at all. Of course they didn’t. Everything is fine, see? Everything except John’s hairline.

Kelly Preston feels if John ‘was with his family more, allegations wouldn’t surface’


John Travolta and Kelly Preston took a “togetherness” trip to the island of Kauai in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. It was transparent attempt to repair their family image after all the lawsuits surfaced accusing John of sexually harassing various men. According to which account you read, it either repaired their marriage or made the rifts deeper. I imagine the truth is somewhere in between, and that these two have an unspoken agreement to be together in public and not much else. I could be wrong, but I see Kelly as quietly accepting her position in the marriage. It’s possible she’s as upset about the stories as everyone says, but I see her as either having a clue and just living with it, or being very deep in denial.

In Touch has photos of the vacation, which only show Kelly and John separately and never together except when they’re boarding a plane home. (You can see those pictures here, at The Daily Mail.) In Touch is selling the “family vacation” story. Which makes you wonder, if John and Kelly posed for paparazzi photos separately, and went on this vacation to try and make it look like their marriage was fine, how was it that they couldn’t even stage one outing together? The Enquirer has Kelly screaming at John and wanting to leave early, but they also have a photo from 1981 of John with that co-pilot who claimed to have been his lover for 6 years, which incidentally was from 1981-1987, right before he married Kelly. So it’s in their interest to make it sound like things are terrible. Here are those two very different stories:

In Touch: John & Kelly Healing in Hawaii
While Kelly believes the allegations – made by multiple male masseurs claiming that John fondled them during separate massages on opposite coasts in January – is “baseless”… it has nonetheless put an almost unbearable strain on [their marriage]…

“Kelly has always given John a long leash, and that’s why their marriage has been successful,” explains the friend. “But after Jett died, his need for solitude only increased…

“Jett was John’s best friend – a part of him died then. Kelly believed the best way she could support him was to give him space to grieve. If John was with his family more, she feels these kind of allegations wouldn’t surface…

“They will survive this,” predicts the friend. “In the end, their friendship and love for each other always wins out.”


Enquirer: Kelly’s Hawaiian Hell
They stayed with friends at a private home in Kauai, but things didn’t go as planned – and a source says Kelly exploded in a fit of rage soon after they landed.

“She boiled over and ripped into him” after our disclosure about John’s long-term sexual affair with his pilot lover, the source said. “She lashed out at Travolta and is wondering what’s next…

“The reports about the affair with the pilot put her over the top. She told him she was packing her bags and leaving, but he begged her to leave with him and instead to make onlookers think they were a happy couple. She reluctantly agreed.”

[From In Touch and The National Enquirer, print edition]

Again, I don’t see how Kelly either had a nice vacation with John or cares enough to get mad at him. How could she not know for so long? “Given him a long leash” is code for “ignored his affairs with men in favor of keeping up the facade.”

Meanwhile John is facing yet another lawsuit. A guy named Robert Randolph, who wrote a book called You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again, is suing John and his lawyer for defamation. The book has passages which detail John’s alleged romps in spas with various men. Randolph claims that Travolta and his lawyer, Marty Singer, tried to discredit him by sending out emails (to retailers, I gather) in which they claimed Randolph was crazy and had been in a mental institution. Singer’s defense is not that they didn’t send out those emails, but that the content of the e-mails is protected by law. Ridiculous! Of course they did this, this is how L Ron Hubbard told his flock how to deal with detractors. In Scientology, ad hominem attacks go way beyond words and get very personal and dangerous. They call it “fair game.” Randolph also told the National Enquirer in the fall of 2010that his car was run off the road twice when news of the book first came out. You can read more about the lawsuit he filed on TMZ.

John Travolta’s wife wants to accept Oprah’s reality show, erase masseur-gate

John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Whenever I think of Kelly Preston, I remember the nonsense she spouted during her first interview after she gave birth to son Benjamin, who turns two in late November. Kelly is 49, and I don’t believe the conspiracy theories about how she didn’t carry Benjamin. I think the reality for Kelly is that she lives deep in denial in the bowels of Scientology and she’s so suppressed her “reactive mind” that she doesn’t have one of her own. The lady sounded completely brainwashed to me. (Watch the video and/or read what I wrote on this last year if you’d like more background.)

While countless masseurs, employees and random men have come forward with stories of being sexually assaulted by John Travolta, I believe that Kelly willfully kept herself in the dark and that she decided to believe his explanations when the issue came up. After all, her “religion” discourages critical thinking at all costs. She is not used to questioning anything, and she’s been living under that set of rules for decades. Even if her old friend Nicole Kidman offered her an exit strategy from her marriage, I doubt she’ll take it.

All that is preface to this story from the National Enquirer about how Kelly is considering accepting Oprah Winfrey’s offer for a family reality show on the OWN network. She reportedly thinks it will go a long way toward convincing the public of the happy family image she has of her life with John, when he’s not disappearing for trips to the spa. We heard that Oprah is gunning for a famous family to have a reality show on her flailing network, and that she’s approached Travolta, Will Smith and Tom Cruise. If Kelly has her way, the Travoltas might just accept the offer. Here’s more, thanks to Mike Walker in the National Enquirer, who broke this story:

Embattled Kelly Preston – devastated by the avalanche of allegations that hubby John’s gay… yet still desperate to somehow save her beloved family – told pals she’s now a definite “maybe!” Said a source: “John has a thick skin when it comes to these gay headlines, but Kelly suddenly realized that bringing cameras into their home might be the perfect way to show that she and John are a real husband and wife in a tight-knit, loving family. But while Kelly’s gung ho on the idea, she’s having a hard time convincing John – who’s refusing to have his private family life viewed under a microscope.” Kelly still harbors doubts about whether a reality show would be good for her family, but she’s wavering, so stay tuned!

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, June 25, 2012]

John has the right idea, and I get the feeling that Kelly goes along with whatever he wants. This isn’t a Dina Eastwood situation. R

Meanwhile there’s been all sorts of news about Travolta. We heard last week that he had a six year affair in the 80s with a male pilot, whose ex lover came out publicly with the story. Travolta’s former secretary also confirmed the story on the record. The Enquirer [via Radar] is reporting that John’s ex, the pilot, is ready to tell all with a memoir, and that he’s fielding offers now. They speculate that this could be the last straw for Kelly, but I would imagine she’s had plenty of last straws.

Also, do you remember how there was drama when two of Travolta’s accusers fired their lawyer and defected to Gloria Allred? The original lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, is suing Allred for poaching his clients. In new court documents he alleges that he was close to reaching a settlement between one of his clients and Travolta’s camp. The stipulation in the settlement was that Travolta’s name would never be used, and that there would be a stiff non-disclosure agreement attached to the money. Of course.
