You know how they say when it rains, it pours? Well, for John Travolta it's pouring masseurs who say he sexually harassed them. After we were just starting to digest the skeevy allegations of "reverse massage" against the actor yesterday, now yet another masseur has come forward with a similar story.
According to People the second accuser claims the incident happened at a resort in the Atlanta area. He's also chosen to remain anonymous and is represented by the same attorney as the first. Travolta's attorney, Marty Singer, was quick to shoot down the new charge saying it's "just as absurd and ridiculous as the first one."
At this point, it's just one big he-said, he-said, but I think there's something no one is saying about what really might be happening here.
I'm sure the second accuser will make some people more inclined to believe Travolta is guilty and that he really did these atrocious things (He's married! With kids!). Others will likely see this as just someone wanting to jump on the litigious money train (the plaintiffs are seeking $2 million each). I, however, think the emergence of the second accuser could mean that JTrav is just looking for a little free publicity.
You did know he has a movie coming out soon, right? It's the new Oliver Stone one, titled Savages due out this summer, which will star Travolta alongside Uma Thurman, Blake Lively, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, and a lot of pot. And when was the last time you really thought of Travolta? All of this has us thinking about him again for sure, now doesn't it?
While planting such outrageous stories about yourself seems counterintuitive to getting good publicity, the saying does go, "All press is good press." And if that's the case, then J.T.'s PR team may have just pulled a major coup.
Okay, okay, that may be a stretch, BUT so is believing accusations like these with absolutely no evidence. At this point, anything is possible -- although I refuse to believe Danny Zuko would ever do the things of which he's been accused.
Do you think the allegations against John Travolta could be a big publicity stunt?

That's pretty drastic to be free publicity.
Does he need money and / or attention that bad?
Gee.
I used to think people made up stuff to get money from celebs all the time, but these days it seems our celebs are getting crazier all the time. Power and too much money are things that bring out the worst in all sorts of people.

That's what I'm seeing happening here
Well this is how I feel about stuff like this, who am I to say whether he has done it or not? I wasn't there, only him, the girl and God knows what went on in that room (if anything) and if he is guilty then I hope he pays for his crimes and doesn't get away with it just because he has money.,
Didn't someone else try to extort him surrounding the death of his son before? I believe JT wound up pressing charges.
