John Travolta Is a Gay Massage Fiend, Lawsuit Claims

Categories: Celebrities

Updated at the bottom: Maybe it was all just a bad dream. The first guy has withdrawn his suit. First posted at 1:54 p.m. Monday, May 7.

When a Los Angeles man wrote a book that claimed John Travolta was a well-known cruiser of gay massage spas in town, we were a bit doubtful.

First, why didn't others come forward with similar accusations that the actor was doing this pretty much out in the open? Second, one of the main spas mentioned was not known as a gay spot at all.

Well, maybe we were wrong (warning -- explicit language):


In a lawsuit revealed today, a masseur alleges that Travolta hired him, took him to a Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow and fondled him after he stripped himself nude.

The news of the L.A. lawsuit was broken by RumorFix.

Depending on if you believe them or not, the accusations could corroborate allegations made in Robert Randoph's You'll Never Spa in This Town Again, self-published in 2010.

His claims seemed far-fetched at the time, and not a soul, it seemed, came forward to back them up.

Then there was this suit, in which the John Doe masseur says Travolta told him:

Travolta chokes Nick.

Come on dude, I'll jerk you off!

Talk about your Face/Off.

The suit goes on to describe Travolta as measuring a healthy 8 inches, with plentiful, unkempt pubic hair (really).

His only defense is to say, I'm small, I'm small! (We kid).

TMZ says the filing also claims that Travolta told the masseur, as he masturbated, that sexual favors were his way up in a Hollywood allegedly controlled by Jewish men who expect such service.

Gay? Travolta allegedly asked the massage artist to help him double penetrate a Hollywood "starlet," according to RumorFix.

He paid $800 to the guy, who said he charged $200 an hour.

The suit seeks $2 million plus "damages," says TMZ.

The last time someone accused Travolta of being a gay massage fiend, he threatened to sue. The key word here being threatened.

[Update at 1:51 p.m. Tuesday, May 8]: Say it ain't so, Vinny. Radar Online reports that a second masseur has come forward with similar allegations, via lawsuit as well.

It's a $2 million "sexual battery" claim filed just today in L.A. federal court, according to the site.

The plaintiff claims his encounter with Travolta happened at an Atlanta resort early this year. He says he got the gig after a coworker refused to work the star's muscles because he allegedly had been banned from a spa where he had worked in L.A.

The suit says, according to Radar, that Johnny Boy ...

... would maneuver in a way to try to force Doe Plaintiff No. 2 to touch his anus and around his anus.

The suit alleges that Travolta grabbed the man's butt, put his hands on his own nuts, and jerked off.

Not gay at all.

Travolta's lawyer has already denied that there's any truth to the first claim.

[Update at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 9]: While the lawyer for both accusers is claiming more men will come forward with similar allegations, Travolta's people are saying the masseurs are full of it.

TMZ published a restaurant receipt putting Travolta in New York the day the first accuser says he was in Beverly Hills playing ring the sleigh bells with him. So there.

[Update at 4:01 p.m. on May 15]: TMZ says Travolta's lawyer is claiming victory after "John Doe #1" withdrew his suit: "My client is completely vindicated," Marty Singer told the site.

Poor John. Even if he's completely innocent here, we can't imagine he'd ever be able to have his hamstrings rubbed again without suspicion of gayness.

John Travolta is gay as a three dollar bill and its obvious. He's the the Ted Haggard of Scientology.

Hez still sexy...gay or not....who cares...if Kelly leaves him, I will be more than happy to pik up the pieces...

Who cares if John is gay ...

I doubt the stories are true since it is soooo easy to hire gay guys to give massages plus. If Travolta wanted action, he can have it with no hassle.  Thus, the stories are highly suspect to me.

Why did Travolta hire a male to massage him in the first place!!  That's all we need to know people! Why not have a women massage him?

Years ago I met someone who was high up in Scientology.  He had to sign an agreement to get out and was estranged from his daughter who was still in it.  Anyway, he told me Scientology "has something" on all the celebrities who are in the cult, and that what they have on Travolta is that he's bisexual.   (I didn't bring up JT or ask about any celebs, he just used him as an example.)

I am the same age as JT.  when I was 20 I heard that he had some crazy incidents with gay S&M bondage stuff.  He had actually been hurt in the face really badly.

Supposedly it all stems because he lost his mom and older girlfriend, (costar in  'Boy in the Plastic Bubble co-star), within a short period of time; all the while skyrocketing into fame.

I actually had sympathy for him.  I still do; it has only been a few years since he lost his son. I believe he needs some serious therapy.  Poor dude...

Who cares if John is gay...  I don't have problem with that at all, what I do have  a problem with is the people out there who try to make money out of accusations or selling stories to the gutter press that are willing to pay for the gossip. why not focus on the fact that John is a great actor and has come a long way since his Welcome Back Cotter days..

I met a woman who worked on the Rosie O'Donnel show who claimed it is common knowledge in Hollywood that Travolta and Cruise are gay...and I believe her.

JT came on to my brother is a restaurant bathroom and asked him to touch his pen--!  It is so true ...he can not controll himself.

Maybe if John just admits he's gay- which I doubt most would care a less about- it would open up his ability to play many more kinds of roles- like maybe even Liberace if they make a story about his life! He could even lose some weight and do another dancing movie (Sat Night Fever Returns)  about Tony- but now he's much older and gay!!!

guest

I think it's very obvious why he would not want to admit he is gay. Today 5-16-2012 a massage therapist has come forward and wants NOTHING- just to defend all these others as not lying about their claims. He says he is gay and had sex with John after he propositioned him during a massage. He says he's sick of them making all these massage people out to be lying about the incidents. I also heard John's wife may have moved out since all the allegations. Apparently she's tired of him cheating on he with men. Can't say I blame her. His lawyers are only going to be able to quiet this for only so long.

Spa workers and customers all over the land know this is Travolta's modus operandi. He's been doing it for years.

 Yes, it is general knowledge, but you can be Gay and love your family.  Life is complex.

Geez it was only sex!  Just follow Nancy and if you do want to do it "Just Say No."

 So tell me what is wrong with Kelly Preston to stay with him?  Is she a lesbian?Think about it...

SZwartz

 There is nothing wrong with her.  The world is a little more complex than that.  Being gay is not a disease or a moral short coming.  I think of it as a Gift From God.

guest

um duh, maybe she does not believe it and he tells her it's all lies- like any cheating spouse would do. I'm sure this could be a situation like Tiger Woods. Men will start coming out of the woodwork with stories of being with him. Kelly may be in the dark or denial. But this could be the last straw for sure!

Yeah, well an acting coach I had(who was Gay) said either he or someone he knew observed Travolta kissing some guy in Hollywood years ago for what that's worth.

gay used to mean being happy... happy or not, he's still a great actor...

Since when is Travolta being gay news?  This is well-known (at least bi or whatever); heck even good friend Carrie Fisher spilled the beans.  I just hate hypocrisy and putting up facades for the sake of their leading man career (like another famous Scientologist).

On face value this looks pretty embarassing for Mr. Travolta. I predict this turns into a "Tiger Woods" type fiasco. He can deny this all he wants, however I find it hard (no pun) to believe these two guys are making this up. Much more will come from this story. Hopefully, Mr. Travolta has the brains to stay out of trouble. He has a powerful intelligence apparatus behind him.

Yeah, right, so the un-gay masseurs are victims, huh?

Why couldn't they just stop the massage and say "I am uncomfortable with your gaiety" and just go?

No dough for John Doe.

FYI - This attorney is an IDIOT! Look at CAUSE OF ACTION #36 - He claims that Travolta is a PEACE OFFICER ! ! !  NO SHIT - READ IT YOURSELF! Interesting how the "NOT GAY" masseuse was able to describe Travolta's cock in great detail.

A friend that works in the hotel business told my friend 15 years ago he was gay.  He had gay lovers in his hotel in Atlanta.  Sorry for Kelly and the kids.

 There is no reason to be sorry.  Being gay does mean a guy cannot also be straight.  We live in a society where everything has to be Either Or.  Black or White,. Good or bad, Rich or Poor, Christian or Sinner, Gay or Straight.

It does not work that way -- we are a complex mixture of any different aspects which is why we are based on people inalienable individual rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. 

Travolta is probably Gay at times, but the stories strike me as bogus.

I read where somone said that DrLaura had proof that John Travolta was gay.  Why would a world famous physician like DrLaura lie about John Travolta being gay?

I believe it.  I have a friend who is a massage therapist and who was once propositioned by John T. in Vegas when he was hired to give a massage.

 "propositioned" sound more likely than these stories, but you don't get money by saying that some inquired if you wanted to have sex.

     Time to release the Scientology Law Dog Hounds.... hush money,-non disclosure documents

      Issuing blanket denials-writing forged documents claiming JT was in Thailand claims of religious persecution lodged...

      Scientology employed Private eyes digging through Judges and the Plaintiffs Attorneys trash

       Threats to sue anyone and everyone..including John Does ancestors back to the stone ages..

   Hundreds of Scientologists engaging in covert activity...to expose and tarnish the John Doe....

oh boy...
