Never cared for him as an actor, he's awful. Its only thanks to Tarantino and Pulp Fiction that his career got resurrected. He hasn't done anything good since, as for his private life I have no idea.

I don`t believe the allegations,it sounds like someone is trying to score at Travolta`s expense.

Well does Tiger Woods know why they call it a Royale with cheese in France?

Not a big fan and it's none of my business but I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt first. I would want the same.

Travolta is a weirdo who follows a cult. this belief is what lead to his son dying as he refused him medical treatment

Other than the assault side of this, I couldn't give a S*** what he does behind closed doors. I live in the real world, and he lives in fantasy land. I find him irrelevant.

Highly doubt the story. If he wanted a "boy toy" he could/would go the "traditional" way. A mega actor like him responding to an ad? No way.
Btw not the best actor but can't hate the man bc he made millions an lives life the way he chooses. As long as he does no harm to others, right?

I'm fairly sure that story is untrue and if I recall he took legal action (and won) against the people who printed the allegations.

I'm not certain if an internet forum is outside the scope for libel cases...

As a man who dreams of living in a house connected to a race track, I believe there are a few of these in the USA, have got to respect a man who lives in an estate where you can park your 707 out the front of your house. Did not read the stories. But by the thread I can piece it together.

I'm no great fan of Travolta either, but I'm not certain where you got this nonsense. His son had a seizure and fell in a bathtub.

I could care less about his sexual preference....

If you recall Carrie Fisher outed him a few months back and basically said "everyone knows John is gay"....

Where there's smoke, fire is not far behind....

He could be gay, he could be straight none of us know for sure and I for one do not care. What does seem obvious to me however is this is a money grab. I mean if he was Joe Schmo from Atlanta and this masseur got an unwanted pass from Joe, the masseur would either knock his block off or leave and be done with it.

However since he's a celebrity with money and a rumored secret to protect he's ripe for the picking. If he did any of what he's accused of then he is becoming self-destructive for the very first time in his very public career. I agree with the smoke/fire analogy but for him to make advances to a stranger for the first time in an almost 40 year career I'll need a smoking gun to believe it.

Nobody should be sexually harrassed at work, even if they are a masseur and the job seems to carry a certain "stigma" too it, one should be able to show up and do their job without being pawed and canoodled.....

Many of these Hollywood, celebrity, rich types think the law does not apply to them and use lawyers and itimidation as their own brand of justice....

I hear you and agree, but I'm leaning towards him not having done it, and you're leaning towards him being guilty so our angles are going be in conflict. My explanation of the money grab may have been too simplistic and you are quite right that no one should have to put up with that treatment, I'm just questioning if that treatment ever happened, that's all.

Could care less what his preference is. Not a big fan, but I appreciate his aviation enthusiasm plus I did like him in Pulp Fiction. If he did what he is accused of, then the celebrity legal system will take care of him.

I could care less about his sexual orientation. This is probably a money grab. Now there are supposedly two victims and the lawyer of the two victims said there are more masseurs that will most likely come forward.

Grease, Urban Cowboy, Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction.. All good movies in one way or another. Don't really care what's going on with him now, but I had the hots for his wife back in the day. :)
