John Travolta reps produce photo, receipt to refute sex claims
AP photo
John Travolta’s representatives have released a photograph and restaurant receipt that they say prove the actor was in New York on the night he is accused of improper sexual conduct with a massage therapist in Beverly Hills.
The photo (presumably time-stamped) shows Travolta standing in a hallway; the restaurant receipt shows a $382 meal at Mr. Chow with a $100 tip added, issued at 11:38 p.m. Jan. 16. It does not contain Travolta’s signature or credit card imprint, that information possibly having been redacted prior to publication. Both are posted on the Daily Mail web site.
Following the initial lawsuit by a “John Doe” about an incident that allegedly occurred on Jan. 16, a second anonymous plaintiff joined the lawsuit, claiming similar allegations at “an unnamed Atlanta resort” on Jan. 28. By that time Travolta, who spent time here filming “Killing Season” with Robert De Niro earlier this year, had been spotted in Atlanta. Travolta dined at The Palm in Buckhead on Jan. 24.
Each of the anonymous plaintiffs demands $2 million. Travolta’s attorney has promised a vigorous defense and counter suit.

Oh, they are all going to come out of the woodwork now. All these losers that claim he did something. He doesn’t have to do this stuff, he can get anyone he wants. I highly doubt he’s going to disgrace his family over some dumb stuff like this. Yesterday I was thinking that maybe it could be real, and it still might be, but I have my doubts now that they say ‘100’s” of men. Whatever.

Folks always believe that that their dirty laundry stuffed in the back closet doesn’t stink and won’t be discovered.

Travolta isn’t hot. His best looks were in the ‘Stayin’ Alive’ days. Ever since, he has looked perpetually bloated. No women, besides his wife and Oprah, are interested.
If some men *really* wanted to falsify and get $$$$, they would have come out of the woodwork during a Travolta blockbuster–not while he’s inactive.

There are dozens of stories of Travolta in bathhouses and massage parlors going back to the early 1980s. You just have to have Google skills…

I think scammers need to pay a heavy price for scamming. It is seriously annoying that these people exist and they will not stop trying to lie, cheat, and steal. Maybe we could cut out their tongues or something.

I could photoshop a date on a receipt in about 10 seconds… Or pay off a waitress to print out a back dated one.

Sadly this behavior of his seems true. A friend of mine who is a professional straight massage therapist had John book a session. He said John offered to please him and he refused and RAN AWAY
John did not get his happy ending during that appointment.
This was over 5 years ago. The truth of his behavior is now coming out
