Those Crazy Gay Scientologists

I wouldn't have turned him down...

LOL @ the title of this thread: John Travolta (Danny from GREASE Part 1).

Marry me Jordan Catalano!

So, he touched the Massuer's scrotum then stroked his shaft? I take it the massuer was naked. If so ounds like an erotic massage and that this is yet another shakedown, wonder if he hired him from Rentboy?

It is pretty well know with people that worked with him which way Travolta swings (I know a few who life cast him for various movies).

That said the closet creates situations like this for well known celebrities.

That involuntary infliction of emotional distress is a killer, up there with PTSD among Iraq war vets. I only hope we get Gloria Allred on the case. I want to hear her say the word "semi-erect" on national television, preferably with Anne Curry doing the questioning. (Curry: "Gloria, when you say, 'semi-', and I know I'm probably -- you'll excuse me, won't you if I -- you no doubt want to avoid -- but shall we get back to -- legally speaking, will it being only 'semi' make a difference -- and by it, I'm sure TODAY viewers don't need me to explain! -- and I mean to jurors. If it gets to trial. When it gets to trial. Please, don't let me interrupt you, Gloria, speak...")

And "Travolta's camp" either knows more about how crowded it was 'round the old table, or could use some instruction in grammar: "...And the Plaintiff, who refuses to give their name..." Their name? Sounds like the start of a bad joke, "How many nude rentboys does it take to get off a Scientologist..."

You left out the Curryism that made me give up on that show about 8 years ago: "Good morning, everyone. Good morning."

Best part of the linked article: Despite not getting a happy ending, Travolta allegedly paid the man $800.

[Jordan Catalano]

I guess his name wasn't on The Client List.

[EricMontreal22]

Dumb question but... Why is the masseur being anonymous? That's where it all sounds weird (as well as the comment mentioned here that if he giggled while touching the masseur's scrotum, obviously he was naked and surely knew what kind of massage he was providing).

[best12bars]

It's also a little hard to do any of this if you're not in the same zip code as your client.

[Jordan Catalano]

I think you mean it's "semi hard" to do any of this.

[JerseyGirl2]

Word. I call bull$hit on this one. It's a shakedown. Travolta has always been relatively discreet.

[Brian07663NJ]

Completely believable...

- that Travolta actually did this because he is on a platform that we think because he is a famous start that he wouldn't and because of his religious beliefs that he wouldn't but he has a sexual drive like everyone else

- that the Masseur is fabricating this to make a buck because the media eat this $hit up and wants to hear about a Scientologist doing this sort of thing.

Come on - people lie all the time about everything from paying taxes to double dipping on pensions and unemployment.

It IS possible to grab someone's scrotum and penis through clothing, so the guy was not necessarily naked. If he is a legitimate licensed massage therapist he could be trying to protect himself by remaining anonymous.

And lets face it, even Ellen Travolta has spoken about John being gay.

[JerseyGirl2]

Ohhh, SG... What did she say?

[AEA AGMA SM]

I would also guess that he's trying to remain anonymous for as long as possible due to the fact that the "Church" of Scientology has a history of protecting its high profile members through some pretty extreme means.

[best12bars]

You can grab all sorts of things through clothing, sure. But not if you're in NY on the day this supposedly happened in L.A.

Nobody's reach is that good.

[SonofRobbieJ]

For Namo
Good Morning

[FindingNamo]

She loved that phrase so much she should have been on GMA!

[TheatreDiva90016]

Hmmmmm...


Laughing like this?

[SueleenGay]

Yet another one comes forward...those rumors are...
Stayin' Alive

[StockardFan]

"LOL @ the title of this thread: John Travolta (Danny from GREASE Part 1)."

That made me laugh too!

[TheatreDiva90016]

So, the second guy didn't think about filing a lawsuit until the first one was announced?

Oh please... I wish I could get two million dollars from every guy who tried to touch my scrotum.


"In the first lawsuit that was filed last week, the also-unidentified plaintiff says that a man claiming he represented a celebrity who "demanded full confidentiality" called him from a blocked cell phone number after seeing his ad online. He was then told to meet on a specific street and a car would come pick him up — and when it did, Travolta was the one behind the wheel.

Upon getting into the Lexus SUV, the plaintiff says the "Hairspray" actor was dressed in dark glasses, jeans, an athletic shirt, and silver watch and that there were Trojan condoms on the car's console and chocolate cake wrappers on the floor."

LOL

[SueleenGay]

Not necessarily, Diva. Could be there are more who decided to do it together thinking that the more who come forward the better the chances of winning. I take it you are not buying it?
(I mean the story, not scrotum touching.)

[TheatreDiva90016]

We all know JT is a mo...

I just find the timing of the two lawsuits so close together as suspect...

[SNAFU]

I wouldlove to see the wording of the ads.
