John Travolta Accused by Two More Men of Sex Abuse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The Pulp Fiction star has now been accused of making unwanted sexual advances by seven men in total after two new accusers - a Miami-based masseur at the Eden Roc Resort called Jeff and a former hotel employee in Seattle - allege that the married actor groped them and solicited them for sex.
Jeff claims that John "started getting aggressive" when the masseur wouldn't do what the 58-year-old Hollywood star wanted during a massage in Miami in 2000, the New York Daily News reports.
The Seattle-based hotel worker alleges John touched his bottom after cornering him as he was cleaning up a guest room following a Qantas event in 2000. "He came up right behind me and grabbed my ass," he said.

John Travolta Accuser Could File Charges Again

A masseur who dropped sexual battery charges against John Travolta may still launch another suit against the star.
The man - known only as John Doe #1 - filed papers yesterday to have the allegations dismissed but has now hired another lawyer, civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who has admitted her new client is deciding what to do next.
"I represent John Doe Number One. Mr. Doe's lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice which means that he is still legally entitled to file another lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses. We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take. Our client and our firm has no further comment at this time," said Ms. Allred.
The man - who claimed Travolta had behaved inappropriately during a massage on January 16 in Los Angeles - was dropped by his lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, after the actor's attorney Marty Singer provided evidence that suggested the Pulp Fiction star was in New York at the time of the alleged incident. The masseur later claimed to have gotten his dates confused.

John Travolta Accuser Drops Claim

A man who filed sexual battery charges against John Travolta has filed papers to dismiss the case.
The masseur - who has been named only as John Doe #1 - had originally accused the actor of assaulting him on January 16 at the Beverly Hills hotel but made an application in California this morning to have the lawsuit dismissed.
A second masseur - known as John Doe #2 - is still pursuing his claim, which alleges the Pulp Fiction star sexually assaulted him in an Atlanta hotel. The second man's lawyer, Okorie Okorocha - who had dropped the first masseur as a client when he claimed he had the date of the alleged assault wrong after Travolta was able to prove he was elsewhere - insists he intends to pursue the allegation as far as possible.
"Believe me, he's not going anywhere. He was really traumatized by this. He went to the doctor for anxiety. This is somebody in the south, not Beverly Hills. When a brother is going to the doctor for anxiety, it has to be pretty bad," the lawyer told The New York Daily News.

John Travolta Accuser Wants Private Trial
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
A masseur who accused John Travolta of sexual assault is willing to drop his federal proceedings against the star.
The unnamed man - who is known as John Doe #2 - is willing to have the matter settled in a private trial, though no deal has yet been agreed with the actor's legal representative Marty Singer. "I can dismiss the federal filing and we can set up our own private trial. I'm willing to do that, and I've proposed that to Marty Singer. [Singer] hasn't agreed, but he hasn't said no. We are speaking, but we haven't hammered something out. He wants to fight this thing all the way through. They've made it clear. I'm ready to fight. I might leave in a bodybag, but never in cuffs. It would be a great case to see on Court TV, to see the royal rumble," the masseur's lawyer Okorie Okorocha told the New York Daily News newspaper.
The lawyer believes a private trial would be much faster than public proceedings and maintain the privacy of his client - the second man to have stepped forward to have made accusations against the Pulp Fiction star - whom he describes as a "reserved" family man.

The first masseur who accused John Travolta of sexual assault has reportedly been dropped by his lawyer.
The accuser - known only as John Doe # 1 - filed a $2 million dollar lawsuit against the Pulp Fiction actor claiming he made unwanted sexual advances towards him in Los Angeles on January 16, but after the masseur admitted earlier today that he got the date of the alleged attack wrong he is no longer being represented by Los Angeles attorney Okorie Okorocha.
"Okorocha did not feel he could represent John Doe #1 going forward anymore and recommend him finding another lawyer," a source told RadarOnline.com.
But Okorocha will continue to represent a second masseur - who is known only as John Doe #2 - who has also made sexual assault claims against the star, although John's attorney Marty Singer has vehemently denied both allegations.

Third Masseur Accuses John Travolta

John Travolta has been accused of sexual harassment by a third man.
Chilean-born Fabian Zanzi alleges the actor - who is being sued for $2 million apiece by two male masseurs who claim he sexually harassed them after they were hired to give him massages - "hugged" him, asked for a massage and offered him $12,000 for sex while Fabian was working on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2009. Fabian - who was in charge of taking care of VIP guests on the boat - says he refused John's offer.
South American news website ABC.es quotes Fabian as saying, "He had something on his neck. I thought it was a fuzz. As I approached, he took off his white coat and was naked. He hugged me and asked me to do a massage."
Fabian claims he reported the incident to his supervisors, but they didn't believe him and he was eventually fired from the ship.

John Travolta Sued for Sexual Harassment by Second Masseur
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
John Travolta is reportedly being sued by a second male masseur for alleged sexual harassment.
The Pulp Fiction actor has been accused of sexual harassment by an anonymous masseur - a claim John vehemently denies and has described as "baseless" - and another alleged victim, who is said to be represented by the same lawyer as the first accuser, is seeking the same amount of money, $2 million in damages.
According to RadarOnline, the second accuser claims to have "substantial documentation and numerous witnesses regarding the substance of Travolta's actions."
The 58-year-old star's representative, however, fully denies the initial sexual battery lawsuit and has described the masseur's allegations as "complete fiction and fabrication" as well as claiming he can prove Travolta was not present in Los Angeles on January 16, the date of the alleged incident.

Jeff Conaway Dead at 60
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Obituaries,
Jeff Conaway, 60, died Friday after being taken off of life support. The actor, whose credits include the movie Grease, was in a coma for most of the month.
Older generations remember him as the funny, cocky Bobby Wheeler on Taxi. More recently he appeared on the first and second seasons of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, where he was shockingly incoherent and physically weak. But he’s probably best remembered for being Kenickie, main sidekick to John Travolta’s Danny Zukco in Grease.
Travolta released a statement shortly after Conaway’s death was made official: "Jeff Conaway was a wonderful and decent man, and we will miss him. My heartfelt thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this very difficult time."

John Travolta and Kelly Preston's baby has brought a "renewed spirit and purpose" to their lives.
The couple - whose 16-year-old son Jett tragically passed away two years ago when he suffered a seizure while on a family holiday in the Bahamas - explained the birth of Benjamin in November has given them the opportunity of a "new beginning."
"It's been uplifting. Especially when he smiles at me and seems contented in my arms. He's given the house and renewed spirit and purpose. He's brought us a new beginning and his presence has brought joy to all the people who have wanted the best for us."
However, the couple - who also have a 10-year-old daughter Ella Bleu - admitted they feel "blessed" to have finally had another child after trying for three years to conceive. "We tried for three years and feel blessed then it finally happened. It's one of the most fulfilling things a person can experience in life and I have had the joy of experiencing it with three amazing children. Being a mother makes me the happiest," Kelly, 48, said.
