This is just a giant money grub. I don't think there's any truth these stories. Just a bunch of bull...
And to answer someone's previous query about what if this was about women. Well, this case is about John potentially sexually assaulting two or three men. That's how it's been to me. This is not really a question about whether or not the man was or is gay. Being a sexual predator isn't the same as being gay. The salvation of man is through love and in love. - Dr. V. Frankl

Pretty much. Being a sexual predator don't determine someone's sexuality. | |

John Travolta: 2nd suit off, Okorocha out, Allred angry, and more!
The second sexual-battery case against John Travolta has been dropped, with John Doe No. 2 — like John Doe No. 1 before him — jumping on the Gloria Allred bandwagon and considering refiling at a later date. "We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit that was on file was dismissed without prejudice," Allred told CNN on Thursday, explaining that her team was talking to the second massage therapist about how he’d like to proceed. Travolta lawyer Martin Singer told TMZ he looked forward to "trying the case against Gloria Allred in a court of law, not in the media." According to him, neither of the Does had been or would be paid to make his claims go away. That theoretically ends an attention-filled two weeks or so for Pasadena attorney Okorie Okorocha, who rather than stepping quietly out of the media spotlight on Thursday instead chose to accuse his former clients’ new counsel of poaching his case, describing her behavior to CNN as “unethical and against state bar rules.” Allred was not pleased, telling RumorFix she would see Okorocha in court if he didn't retract his "false statements." Such bravado, however, has seemed in character for Okorocha, a lawyer who was dead set on delivering his clients anonymity as well as a day a day in court. “I’m the real deal. [Singer] stepped into the ring with a gorilla. I am relentless,” Okorocha boasted last week while opposing counsel threatened to sue him for malicious prosecution and evidence piled up contradicting his first client’s allegations. “Bring it on,” he said, only to find himself apologizing to Singer days later when it became clear he’d blown a key date in his May 4 filing. A report that John Doe No. 2 would settle for $250,000 was inaccurate, he said, the result of his own "jibber-jabbering" with a friend from church who coincidentally works at Radar Online. With Allred at now the helm "the case is gonna go away quietly," Okorocha said Thursday in an interview posted on TMZ. He is predicting an “under-the-table payment." That said, he told CNN that should a deal be made, he was prepared to fight for his “equitable share” of that previously unthinkable settlement, as he’d done “the majority of the work to get to where we are,” In the meantime, for Okorocha’s sake, let’s hope nobody took him up on the challenge he’d made Wednesday in response to a question about whether John Doe No. 2’s complaint was likely to be settled or dropped. “John Doe No. 2 ain't going nowhere. He ain't never. He would never, ever, go anywhere even close. He would wait 5 years just to have a trial. He would, he means business,” he declared to CNN. “Put up your bets.… Whatever the Vegas odds are, you can go ahead and wager your house that the case ain't going nowhere,” he added. Oops. One thing we do expect to stick around for a while: an upsurge in questionable stories alleging a sexually unstoppable Travolta. Cut to Singer, who made a statement to the New York Post on Thursday. “This spate of recklessly published tabloid stories,” he said, “is just part of a malicious tabloid agenda to boost lagging sales by running outrageous defamatory stories about my client sourced by people seeking notoriety or a payday.” Stay tuned.

i think people who sue people for money over cases like this are frauds.. Now if Travolta cut his dick off and he never could use one again, THEN he should get money... Why give someone 2 million dollars because he was sexually harrased.. You tryin to tell me that itss gonna be something that scars this guy for the rest of his life????.. B.S!! I understand bringing it out in the open, but when people ask for ridiculous sums of money is when the case becomes frivolious to me.. It becomes all about easy money... ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

It certainly isn't synonomous with being gay but I firmly believe there are straight predators and gay predators. A gay guy wouldn't ever sexually harass a female and a straight guy wouldn't sexually harass a male. People go for what they are attracted to and predators are no different. If John were truly straight and got his rocks off by harassing people, wouldn't he be harassing female masseuses? There's plenty of them out there and women are not strangers to being sexually harassed in Hollywood. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

But HG, if John was gay, he wouldn't need to assualt anyone. He could just as easily get a willing, consenting partner.
I'm not one to speak as an expert on sociopathy, but from what I know, there are predators that have preferences, but that doesn't really determine sexuality. I heard of a guy, a doctor, married with children, living the fabulous life..but at night, used to frequent gay clubs, take men home, and asphyxiate them to death because that got him off. Buried them out in the back yard.

Yeah people just assault just to assault, folks just sexually assault - and sometimes as you say kill them, just to do it. People like that are mental. Is there any specific reason that John Travolta, who could get any man he wanted (if he in fact has gay or bisexual tendencies), picked ONLY masseurs? | |

John Travolta faces another new accuser, New York masseur accuses ‘Pulp Fiction’ star of gropingDaily News revealed other accusers in Seattle and MiamiComments (13)By Matthew Lysiak AND Nancy Dillon / NEW YORK DAILY NEWSFriday, May 18, 2012, 12:32 PMohn Travolta has come under fire by a number of masseurs who claim the actor groped them during massages. TakeOur Poll
Do you believe the claims being made against John Travolta?
Yes, the sheer number of accusers has convinced me.
No, these people are obviously just out to make money off the actor.
I'm not sure.
John Travolta now has hotel staffers claiming X-rated ambushes in all four corners of the country. After the Daily News exclusively revealed new accusers in Seattle and Miami, a New York masseur has reportedly joined the fray. EXCLUSIVE: TWO NEW ACCUSERS MAKE TRAVOLTA CLAIMS The New York-based man alleges the "Pulp Fiction" star groped him during a massage in a five-star hotel about two years ago, RadarOnline reported. "The masseur is currently assessing what his legal options are," a source told Radar. Travolta's lawyer has denied all the men's claims. The new allegations come after two men described similar run-ins with Travolta in exclusive interviews with The News. RELATED: TRAVOLTA MAKES EMOTIONAL VIDEO FOR WIFE One claimed he was groped by Mr. Travolta while performing a massage at the Eden Roc resort in Miami in 2000. The other said the Oscar-nominated actor grabbed his crotch at the Westin Seattle following a Qantas event in 2000. Both men contacted lawyer Okorie Okorocha after he filed a $2 million federal lawsuit earlier this month on behalf of anonymous masseurs claiming attacks by Travolta in Beverly Hills and Atlanta. The men have since signed with lawyer Gloria Allred after the first withdrew his suit Tuesday and the second pulled the plug Thursday. "Hearing about all the cases now, I regret not saying something sooner because it was unfair to the people in the future," Jeff, the former Eden Roc masseur, told The News. The 46-year-old now living in Dallas described Travolta's alleged horny hijinks on the condition his last name be withheld. He said Travolta requested extra work on his inner thighs during the massage. "He was putting his hands where he wanted me to work and kind of grinding on the table," Jeff claimed Thursday. "At one point he actually pulled my hand between his legs, up to his scrotum." Jeff said he pulled back and accepted the actor's apology. "I started working on his other leg, and it all started back up again. He started putting his butt up in the air," Jeff said. "I was just trying to do whatever I could to distract him, but he started getting aggressive and grabbed my hand again." Jeff claimed Travolta started masturbating toward the end of the massage and tried to reassure him, 'It's okay, you can do it. No one's going to know." The massage man said he bolted from the room the instant the hour-long session was over and received a paltry $20 tip.

John Truesdale is revealed by the Daily News as one of the masseurs who accused John Travolta of sex shenanigansThe Daily News reveals one of the men who allegedly accused "Pulp Fiction" star of gropingComments (39)By Matthew Lysiak AND Nancy Dillon / NEW YORK DAILY NEWSPublished: Saturday, May 19, 2012, 3:06 AMUpdated: Saturday, May 19, 2012, 4:00 AMKevin Hagen for New York Daily NewsMandarin Oriental Atlanta hotel masseur John Truesdale spoke to the News in the parking lot outside his home in Smyrna, Georgia, on May 17.

Do you believe the claims being made against John Travolta?
Yes, the sheer number of accusers has convinced me.
No, these people are obviously just out to make money off the actor.
I'm not sure.
Ryan Pierse/Getty ImagesThe Daily News tracked down one of John Travolta’s first accusers, revealing him as a hulking 250-pound masseur and certified black belt who works at a posh spa in Atlanta. John Truesdale — formerly known only as John Doe No. 2 — sued the “Welcome Back, Kotter” star for sexual battery only to withdraw the case on Thursday. He was nameless and faceless until the Daily News found him this week. “I thought I was supposed to be anonymous,” the mild-mannered massage therapist said, as he posed for a photo. Truesdale, 40, confirmed he works in the spa at the posh Mandarin Oriental in Atlanta but declined to discuss claims that Travolta sexually accosted him in a hotel suite on the 15th floor in January. At that time the swanky hotel was called the Mansion on Peachtree. “The paparazzi are here for me?” he asked, breaking out in laughter. “I can’t believe it.” Truesdale dropped the suit and his original lawyer, Okorie Okorocha. He’s now represented by Gloria Allred, a move that set off fireworks between the two lawyers. He filed a bombshell $2 million federal lawsuit on May 8, claiming in graphic detail that the “Pulp Fiction” star had “bloodshot eyes” and a “strange” disposition as he stripped naked and started to “hump” a massage table set up in his private suite on Jan. 28. RELATED: TWO MORE MEN ACC...OPING THEM Truesdale accused Travolta of “spreading his butt cheeks.” Then the actor asked for an odd amount of work on his butt muscles, he charged. He said Travolta groped his upper thighs and grabbed between his legs, according to the lawsuit originally filed by Okorocha. “I can't talk about (the case),” said Truesdale, a former high school football player and onetime U.S. Army medic. “I’m not allowed to give any comment.” Truesdale was once a party to a lawsuit filed by Okorocha on behalf of a masseur identified only as John Doe No. 1. That man claimed Travolta groped him in the Beverly Hills Hotel on Jan. 16. Flight records, photos and a witness placed Travolta almost 3,000 miles away in New York at the time of the alleged California attack. The first accuser later said he simply made a mistake on the timeline. He has also withdrawn his lawsuit. And he hired Allred, too. Okorocha said he was blindsided after losing his clients. He threatened on Friday to sue Allred, claiming she “poached” Truesdale by calling him directly. He offered up text messages with “John Doe No. 2” to bolster his claim. “Nobody else wanted John Doe 2’s case, to go up against Travolta,” he said Friday. “Then once I get the case to national prominence, (Allred) takes over,” he charged. “It’s illegal.” “Mr. Okorocha’s representations are false, outrageous and defamatory,” she said in a statement, claiming the Atlanta masseur reached out to her first. “I have been practicing law for the past 37 years and I have not and do not solicit clients.” Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, called the claims of both masseurs baseless. He also denied his client bought the federal court dismissals with hush money. “Not one penny has been paid nor do we have any intention to pay any money for these ridiculous and false claims,” Singer said in a statement shared with The News. Travolta’s sex scandal grew beyond the lawsuits when more hotel staffers from southern California to Seattle to Miami stepped from the shadows with similar allegations. In a News exclusive, one masseur claimed he was groped by a writhing and groaning Travolta while performing a massage at the Eden Roc resort in Miami in 2000. “Hearing about all the cases now, I regret not saying something sooner,” Jeff, the 46-year-old former Eden Roc masseur now living in Dallas, said. ndillon@nydailynews.com Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/john-travolta-faces-accuser-york-masseur-accuses-pulp-fiction-star-groping-article-1.1080635#ixzz1vKJeaokX | |

Meet John Travolta’s Ac...ohn Doe #2Remember last week I told you about actor John Travolta’s accuser named in court documents as John Doe No. 2? I told you his name was really John, and he lived with his wife and small children in Atlanta. That information came to Sandrarose.com by way of a confidential source whom I will refer to as “Mr. X.” If you need to know anything about anybody who is somebody in Atlanta, Mr. X is your go-to source. That’s why TMZ has his number on speed dial. Anyway, the NY Daily News revealed the identity of John Doe No. 2 on Saturday. His name is John Truesdale, he is 40 and he works as a masseur at the upscale Mandarin Oriental spa. The 250-pound certified black belt tells the Daily News that 58-year-old Travolta “sexually accosted him in a hotel suite on the 15th floor in January. At that time the swanky hotel was called the Mansion on Peachtree.” In an exclusive video that was posted to YouTube by Mr. X (the video has since been made private), Truesdale’s former co-worker, explains how an anxious Truesdale came running downstairs following his 15-minute encounter with Travolta. “I can’t do this!” he quoted a flabbergasted Truesdale as saying at the time.
Moments later, Travolta came downstairs and ordered the masseur to return to his room. But Truesdale refused, according to the former co-worker. Truesdale, who is now represented by Gloria Allred, filed a $2 million lawsuit against Travolta on May 8. In court documents, Truesdale describes in graphic detail how Travolta manipulated his genitals — and how the actor, who was sexually aroused, started to “hump” the massage table in his suite at the hotel. By that time Truesdale had had enough of Travolta, who he accused of “spreading his butt cheeks,” and asking the former high school football player to pay particular attention to his butt muscles during the massage. Travolta has vigorously denied the charges from Truesdale and his first accuser who has since dropped his lawsuit in California. Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, calls the lawsuits “baseless” and a bunch of lies. But other masseurs have come out of the woodwork with their own tales of sexual misconduct involving the former ‘Grease’ star. “Hearing about all the cases now, I regret not saying something sooner,” said Jeff, a 46-year-old former Eden Roc masseur now living in Dallas. And, according to the NY Post, Vikki Lizzi, the former fiancee of late actor Jeff Conaway, who co-starred with Travolta in ‘Grease,’ has come forward to reveal a shocking detail that Conaway wrote in a suicide note he left after an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2006. Conaway, who died at age 60 last May of complications from pneumonia, allegedly wrote that he awoke one morning to find Travolta, who was a guest in his home, giving him unsolicited oral sex. The incident happened in the 1990s, and Lizzi told the National Enquirer that Conaway was dismayed to find out he was the one that Travolta wanted. The bizarre episode ended Conaway and Travolta’s long friendship. | |
