Second masseur sues John Travolta, claiming Atlanta incident
AP photo
Another anonymous massage therapist has sued actor John Travolta, alleging unwanted sexual advances in an Atlanta hotel.
Radar Online reports that the second unnamed plaintiff has signed on with the attorney who filed the original suit.
John Doe #2 claims that Travolta hired him for a massage “at an unspecified resort in Atlanta on Jan. 28″ and made unwanted advances.
Travolta, who spent time here filming “Killing Season” with Robert DeNiro, was spotted all over metro Atlanta, in numerous restaurants, a Starbucks and a mall, while he was here. The first report we received of his showing up here was Jan. 24, when he dined at The Palm in Buckhead.
Travolta’s representatives are fuming. In a statement reported by Radar and other outlets his spokesman called the claims “complete fiction and fabrication,” and charged that the attorney representing the two anonymous plaintiffs “has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame.”
Travolta’s attorney, Marty Singer, told Radar: “The problem in America is anyone can sue anyone. However, in this case this unidentified plaintiff and his lawyer will regret they filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of them for malicious prosecution.”

Maybe the unwanted advance was just to convert them to the cult of scientology?

I’ve heard whispers about Travolta being gay before and I honestly dont care what his sexual preferrences are.If he were Joe Blow there would be no lawsuits.On the other hand if he settles or doesnt respond with some type of counter claim then I would think that there is something to the story.Sadly men gay or straight are wired to constantly pursue sex and it has lead to the downfall of a lot of us..Next time John just find another man with as much to lose as you and he wont tell..

An actor that dances in almost every movie he’s in is possibly gay?? Stop it. You’re blowing my mind.
Next, you’ll be telling me that guys who perform in Broadway musicals (Hugh Jackman, just saying) might be gay. I’ll just never believe it!

Gordon: I deleted the final sentence of your comment before posting. The expletive you used caused the comment to get snagged by the spam filter. Wanted to make sure I was transparent about that. I do not edit comments because that could alter their meaning but I did not think removing that sentence altered your meaning, it just removed profanity.

Maybe after all the smoke clears, John may have to get a woman masseuse to cut down on those lawsuits.

Why would a MAN get a job rubbing on other MEN if he would be offended if they hit on HIM?

An actor friend told me about 10 years ago that John Travolta is known in Hollywood circles for being bisexual. Now it’s out for the world to know. I’m sure more and more men will come forward with their experiences with him also.

The news here is not whether or not he is gay. Who really cares! But, if he is gay then any massage therapist whom was the victim of his unwanted advances has every right to sue.

if people are going to be sued for unwanted sexual advances then every nightclub in Atlanta would have 100’s of lawsuits every night from guys hitting on women who are not interested in them.
We live in crazy times.

I tend to think it’s just an Atlanta massage therapist trying to get money. They don’t even have the nerve to say who they are. Makes the story somewhat unbelievable.

Rumor has it that Travolta walked up to South side and said “FU South side Steve”……….. it was on from there

This Travolta story is fascinating! What well-known celebrity would willingly give people such a open invitation to sue him? This guy must be completely out of it at this point.
Don’t get me wrong I love it. What could be possibly be more demeaning to your name than this? Oh, this is great! What a freak, what a loser!

I guess by now everybody in town knows Mr.Travolta was seen at the Panola Road/I-20 Waffle House dining with former Atlanta “celebrity” Virginia Gunn.

There are blind items all over the net about JT being gay for years. There were also suggestions that his wife is fully aware of his sexuality and a surrogate was used for the last baby cause they have not had sex in years

When did Travolta stop dancing in every movie? That was his big mistake.

Hard to believe some of you don’t believe he is gay. This has been fairly well known for a long time, before most of you even had the Internet at your house. Do a little research on Google. There are pictures and a couple of dozen stories from “partners”. One or two you could ignore, but there are too many out there to just dismiss it. Not that it matters to me, he is a fine actor. But he has been living a life of denial for a very long time.
