another man has stepped forward with a lawsuit featuring similar allegations.
Citing Court Documents, RadarOnline reports that a male masseur has filed a $2 million sexual battery lawsuit against Travolta, using the same lawyer as the first accuser.

Uh, huh. I do realize the Fifties were a different time. But, with all due respect to the Duke, even a “rub down” from another guy would be unpalatable (to me anyway). Quite frankly, I’m not even sure what the difference is between a rub down and a massage. Its still another guy touching your body to make you feel good. No thanks.
I do. And when you’ve spent some time with him as I have you will too.
You understand my angle. I’m a skeptic.
Wonder if this firm picked up a former Righthaven attorney.
Were you a skeptic on the Martin/Zimmerman thing or did you wait until all the evidence was in?
I understand your point about not wanting to be touched by another man, but you have to realize that there are a lot of massages that are not done just to make you feel good. They’re done for real physical problems, to help with the pain of old injuries or to help seriously spasmed muscles. If you’re a big man with big muscles and bones, sometimes a big male physical therapist or masseuse finds it easier to apply the necessary force.
Which is not to say there aren’t some women masseuses who are tremendously strong. Still, sometimes it helps when a trained, knowledgeable guy takes his 180 pounds and unstrings your back or shoulder.
Point taken. Lucily, I haven’t needed that kind of therapy....yet.
I had been happily ignorant of all this all these years. Grease will now have two meanings.
In May 2012, an anonymous masseur filed a lawsuit against John Travolta citing claims of sexual assault and battery. A lawyer for John Travolta said the allegations were "complete fiction and fabrication" and someone wanting their 15 minutes of fame. The actor's counsel member also stated that his client would be able to prove that he was not in California on the day in question, and asserted that Travolta would "sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution" after getting the case thrown out.
No, I’m not assuming anything, I was making a joke. I actually think it’s likely the guys bringing the lawsuits are just scam artists looking for money.
I will admit I do think Travolta is probably gay, but he is not going to court for that, so I think I’m allowed to form an opinion in that department.
Good point. If he did actually request a male masseuse, that’s prima facie gayvidence right there.
I’m a woman and I’ve had massage therapists disassemble me and hammer me back into shape after an old riding accident. Nothing sexual about it, whether it was a man or a woman torturing me. Wish I could have that right now. It hurts like the devil, but it’s worth it.
Funny how society has changed. Back in the day a man’s man like John Wayne would naturally prefer a male masseuse because then there would be no thought of sexual hanky-panky; it would be considered normal, while getting a massage from a woman would raise a lot of eyebrows. Today we’re so sensitized to gayness that getting a massage from a man would raise eyebrows.
Okay - sort of like that Justin Bieber thing with that woman. Scam.
Exactly, what you said!
men and male masseuses NO WAY
This lawyer filing the suit had better be good, because it’s very difficult to out-lawyer the Scientologists.
Tell me about it. I grew up in Clearwater. They own half of downtown and don’t pay taxes.
I assume that Travolta will be flying his jet to L.A. today.

“Yes, but what they don’t tell you is that, although he’s qualified to fly the plane, he prefers to do the food & beverage service!”
Wonder if he’s a member of the Mile High Club...over and over and over.
I remember this, too. She was very pretty and I was sad when she died. I felt sad for Travolta, too. They were believed to be very happy together.
