He Touched My Penis
http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/07/john-travolta-sued-masseur-sexual-assault-lawsuit/
According to the lawsuit, Travolta saw the masseur's ad online, and scheduled an appointment for $200 an hour. The masseur did not know it was Travolta when the appointment was booked, but followed instructions and met up with a black Lexus SUV, which Travolta was driving.
According to the suit, Travolta and the masseur, who says he saw Trojan condoms in the center console, drove to the Beverly Hills Hotel and went to Travolta's bungalow.
The suit claims Travolta stripped naked, appearing semi-erect. The masseur says he told Travolta to lay down on the table and the first hour went without incident. Then, according to legal docs, Travolta began rubbing the masseur's leg, touched his ******* and the ***** of his *****.
The masseur claims he told Travolta he did not have sex with his clients, but Travolta was undeterred, offering to do a "reverse massage," adding, "Come on dude, I'll **** you off!!!"

(36,827 posts)How does someone touch your penis if you don't want them to? And how many legitimate masseur are going to hang around when the client comes out nekkid with a half-boner?

(36,827 posts)What guy is going to let another guy touch his junk unless he wants them to?
And a masseur who advertises online? Kinda makes you wonder exactly what he gets paid to massage.

(36,328 posts)In this situation, they'd be present when John was getting his massage. Now if John actually did what he's accused of doing, an assistant being present won't do him much good unless that person was willing to lie for him.

(5,643 posts)I just assume if a famous person is a Scientologist that he or she is gay.

(78,249 posts)That makes about as much sense as "I just assume if a person is a Catholic priest that he is gay."

(24,382 posts)First of all, I don't know who to believe. The masseur could be a loser out to get money from Travolta. Travolta has also been rumored to be gay before, which could explain this whole thing away. LAst the masseur may know this and may be in fact be going after the guy who is gay in an effort to knock some money out of some low hanging fruit.

(12,723 posts)"Yes, all of us are secretly gay. Especially the really good-looking ones like me. And did you know arilyn Monroe was killed during a threesome with JFK and LBJ and Elvis died just last year after living in Alaska for the last 40 years eating walrus and nightly making love to Inuit women three at a time."
We may never know if there is any truth to this man's claim but I do have to question the bit about the Gay Hollywood Jews. Is that not just so conspiracy theory 101?

(16,327 posts)They claim they can cure The Gay. There was a suit brought against them by a gay man who had joined to be "cured" -- he said that when he joined up he was told their program was successful and his recruiter pointed to (no kidding) John Travolta as evidence.

"The problem in America is anyone can sue anyone," Singer (Travolta's attorney) told RadarOnline.com.
Yep, that's true.
"However in this case this unidentified plaintiff and his lawyer will regret they filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of them for malicious prosecution."

(16,327 posts)It was the $200 that made my eyebrows raise. Even for an outcall that is a lot of money, and I see why Travolta would expect a happy ending at that price. I was a CMT for a few years and my rate was $75 an hour.

(35,713 posts)I think it's going to turn out to be true. I don't follow Hollywood and don't know much about stars or their lives, which is why I did a search to see what the DU commentary is on this subject. The story turrned up earlier this a.m. when I did my Google news read.
And the proof will be shown as the plaintiff's attorney, Okorocha, has time to investigate. A CNN story says he has other masseurs who have spoken up, but he has not had time to investigate their claims. Where have we seen that before? Can you spell c-o-a-c-h? No? Well, then--can you spell p-r-i-e-s-t?
The CNN story contains details that--if they weren't true--would take a very good storyteller to fabricate. Now, one might argue, Hollywood is full of storytellers. These details, however, are the stuff of mundane life. Like why was a professional chef in the room after Travolta stripped? Sounds to me like the masseuse, despite having an online ad, was the one who thought he needed "protection."
And the nonverbal communication of Travolta having condoms in the auto caddy...who would think of such detail?
Furthermore, it's my understanding that the adversaries have been in talks for around a week. Oko. said that if he had even a McDonald's receipt to show that Travolta was not in CA at the time of the incident, he would not have filed. Is that proof so hard to come up with? Why couldn't Travolta come up with something to substantiate that claim?

(1,068 posts)In related news, three men filed A CIVIL ACTION against John Travolta. One defendant named MICHAEL claimed Travolta asked him to GREASE his SWORDFISH. Michael replied BE COOL, you don't want to end up up with a BROKEN ARROW. The second plaintiff stated Travolta asked him if he wanted to GET SHORTY and ride his WILD HOGS like an URBAN COWBOY, and the witness claims he fought Travolta off by spraying HAIRSPRAY in his eyes. The third Witness admitted he was angered when Travolta whipped out his PUNISHER, which led to a FACE-OFF, where Travolta BOLTed before the police were called for the DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE.
Travolta denies the allegations, calling the accusations a work of PULP FICTION. "What would I want with a trio of OLD DOGS? I was busy trying to get with THE GENERAL's DAUGHTER, CARRIE (SHE'S SO LOVELY with the EYES OF AN ANGEL). These SAVAGES will be exposed and everyone will see their PRIMARY COLORS. This is a MAD CITY full of mad people. But THE EXPERTS will present the PERFECT defense, and I will SHOUT when I'm exonerated."
Some may call this PHENOMENON a case of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, but this reporter sees sex offenses as a WHITE MAN'S BURDEN.
