Money Grab from Closeted Aging Travolta
David James/New Line Cinema
Christopher Walken, left, as Wilbur Turnblad, husband of Edna (John Travolta), shares a moment with his screen spouse in “Hairspray,” the film version of the Broadway musical, itself adapted from the 1988 John Waters film.
For a guy that is supposed to be innocent, John Travolta seems to be the one running away here. His team of high power lawyers is talking to Gay Masseur No. 2 (or the Atlanta Masseur) to see the possibility to drop his Federal lawsuit and go into arbitration. This may or may not happen. The NY Daily News says that is the masseur looking for arbitration, but in my opinion I don’t think this really matters.
What if Travolta goes to arbitration, What does it really means? It means that there is enough evidence or not for Travolta to buy him out or not.
What matters is that Court records are public, but arbitration is not. This is when the alleged victim (there is no victim here) is willing to have the agreement sealed and everything kept quiet. It is obvious to everyone that as far as this Masseur is concern, he just wants to grab some money from a closeted aging celebrity.
Now as I write this, Travolta’s team has not agreed to arbitration. You only go into arbitration if the issue has become one of money and not damages as seen by a court. Some will say otherwise that you go into arbitration if neither case will win or will win with loses.
If Arbitration is agreed to by Travolta’s team, then from there on the Atlanta Masseur has to keep his mouth closed and when an agreement is reach he would not be able to talk about it, not the amount of money he got.
Travolta has been able to keep the lid close about him having being anything but straight. It should be Travolta suing this guy if the allegations had no merit; But Travolta defends, he does not goes after his sexual detractors, in court that is. But again, Why does he spends so much money, time and effort in hiding what everybody knows?
First is the case of the emperor has no clothes. As long as he doesn’t look he doesn’t have to see it. Secondly is a matter of seeing himself as a family man. He likes it. Seems having a wife and going through all intricacies of a marriage made of prominent people is his thing. He has always tried to put forward that notion. To declare his sexuality would mean he would have to walk away from his marriage. Thirdly and no less important is his religion. He is a scientology follower. This is A religion want -a- be based on the ‘Beam me up Scotty no signs of intelligence here" syndrome.
A new religion as religions go, which in Europe is not even recognized as such and only here since the 60’s. This is used to be a cult but then, Were all religions not a cult when they started? (Let me leave that issue alone).
They are very anti gay. I would imagine since they don’t deal in truth, someone back "when" most it made the decision that this was the better way to go. These people are non-change transformers. They don’t deal in change. They are anti gay and that is it. They can’t even quote the bible since they don’t go by it. They have their own book:
In the late 1940s, pulp writer L. Ron Hubbard declared:
"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion"
Hubbard later created the Church of Scientology (quote from reader’s Digest)
I think that statement explains everything about scientology. Below is fresh posting from the Daily News.
As The Atlanta masseur suing John Travolta for sexual battery is willing to withdraw his federal case and go to arbitration — but no deal has been struck, his lawyer said Monday.
"I can dismiss the federal filing and we can set up our own private trial. I'm willing to do that, and I've proposed that to (Travolta's lawyer) Marty Singer," plaintiff's lawyer Okorie Okorocha told the Daily News.
"(Singer) hasn't agreed, but he hasn't said no," Okorocha said. "We are speaking, but we haven't hammered something out. He wants to fight this thing all the way through. They've made it clear. I'm ready to fight. I might leave in a bodybag, but never in cuffs. It would be a great case to see on Court TV, to see the royal rumble."
Okorocha said a private trial with one or three judges would be much faster than public proceedings and maintain the privacy of his client, a “reserved” family man who has turned down hefty offers for paid interviews.
But arbitration decisions have limited avenues for appeal and often end with technical decisions that “neither side likes,” so it's a gamble, he conceded.
“All I've cared about from the beginning is my client's anonymity," he said. "If we did pick a private trial, the biggest issue is going to be who the judge or judges are. That could be a deal breaker that could send this to (a public) trial."
Okorocha filed the original sexual battery lawsuit May 4 on behalf of a different masseur who claimed Travolta groped him during a Jan. 16 massage at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Travolta quickly denied the allegation, saying he was 3,000 miles away in New York at the time.
Flight records, photos and an eyewitness backed up his claim.
With the airtight alibi dominating headlines, the Beverly Hills masseur told RadarOnline late last week that he got his date mixed up — that the incident happened earlier than Jan. 16.
Okorocha said the Beverly Hills masseur, a resident of Texas, is now looking for new representation, though the search is proving difficult.
"On paper I'm still representing him," Okorocha said. "I may end up trying to resolve this for him."
Okorocha added the Atlanta-based masseur to the case last week with claims Travolta grabbed at the man's crotch and masturbated in his presence during a private massage at an unnamed Atlanta resort Jan. 28.
Travolta's lawyer dismissed both claims in the federal lawsuit as bogus and scoffed at a third claim by a former cruise ship employee that resurfaced last week.
Fabian Zanzi — the first of the three alleged victims to offer his name — said the actor accosted him in 2009 while he was working on a Royal Caribbean ship.
Zanzi told Chilean news program “Primer Plano” that Travolta offered him a cool $12,000 cash after dropping his white robe and giving him a naked hug during some unwanted horny hijinks.
Singer called Zanzi's claim "ridiculous and false," adding, "No lawyer has contacted us."
A former masseur at Manhattan's ritzy Peninsula Hotel said Friday that Travolta was blacklisted there in the early 2000s for his inappropriate behavior with male spa staffers.
Masseur Michael Caputo told The News that he was speaking out to support his fellow licensed massage therapists.
Singer said Travolta had never been banned.
"This is total nonsense," he told The News. "It's completely false. My client has never been banned. He continues to use the spa there as recently as six months ago, getting massages."
