Carrie Fisher: Everyone Knows John Travolta is Gay

By GossipGirl. Published on 12/12/2010 

Speaking to the Advocate in a candid interview, actress/screenwriter/novelist Carrie Fisher dropped a bombshell about a fellow actor, stating that everyone knows John Travolta is gay.

Gay rumors have plauged Travolta since the 1980's, but he has alwas denied them and has put his legal team to work to squash the rumors time and time again. But Fisher showed now fear in discussing the topic.

The interviewer asked her:

“I know you and Travolta go way back, so let’s get really blunt here: Does his (Travolta’s) legal team have any business demanding Gawker remove a recent post suggesting that he’s given (bleep) jobs?”

Fisher replied:

“Wow! I mean, my feeling about John has always been that we know and we don’t care. Look, I’m sorry that he’s uncomfortable with it, and that’s all I can say. It only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss. Just leave it be.”

Back in 2009, Fisher also mentioned in a piece about 10 things gay men should know about women:

“We don’t really care that John Travolta is gay.”

Travolta was first called gay by Paul Barresi, a porn star who gave a tell-all interview about an alleged gay relationship with the actor in the 1980s. Later, he recanted, but then changed his mind again and said it was true. Over the years, other men have come forth claiming relationships with John.

Adding fuel to the rumors has been Travolta's behavior, which includes kissing male staff members on the lips.
