John Travolta battles two sexual harassment claims
John Travolta’s legal battle with a masseur who claims the actor made unwanted sexual advances during a massage in January got twice as ugly Tuesday as another masseur filed a second lawsuit Tuesday making similar claims, Sun Times said.
Both plaintiffs are represented by the same Los Angeles attorney, and both filed anonymously as “John Doe” (No. 1 and No. 2). Travolta’s team has charged the lawyer is merely seeking his “15 minutes of fame” and promises to sue both the lawyer and his clients after moving to have the suits thrown out of court.
The second man claimed in his suit — asking $2 million in damages — that he had “substantial documentation and numerous witnesses regarding the substance of Travolta’s actions.”
Along with vehemently denying these lawsuits’ validity, Travolta is “sick and tired of fighting this insidious, ongoing whisper campaign that has gone on for years,” a longtime close friend of the actor told me Tuesday.
