John Travolta's 'inappropriate behavior' got him tossed from Peninsula Hotel's massage spa: staff Travolta’s stay on the blacklist was about three years, and followed a complaint to the hotel’s bosses, said Michael Caputo, a one-time Peninsula masseur

Staff at the swank Peninsula Hotel claimed John Travolta was banned after several creepy run-ins with the spa’s male employees.

But the temporary ban in the early 2000s was eventually lifted and the “Pulp Fiction” star was welcomed back, says a former staff member.

Travolta was banished to the Fifth Ave. hotel’s “no-thigh zone” after his inappropriate antics led to an insurrection, said Michael Caputo, a one-time Peninsula masseur.

“Travolta would always request a man for his massage, but after a while no one would take him because of his inappropriate behavior,” Caputo said.

“It got to the point where they couldn’t find any men to take him, and they had to ban him,” recalled the masseur known as Magic Mike, who claimed he worked at the Peninsula from 1992-2008.

Bangkok’s Peninsula Hotel is a gorgeous place, and is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world.

Staying there is an opulent treat, and not to be missed for anyone who has a chance.

The facilities and staff are magnificent.

Your post #52.

Join your fellow child actor laboring alone to expose this nest of sexual predation.

Each Freeper has a perfect right to express their particular reaction. To laugh it all off could be said to be a healthy way of somehow defusing a very sad situation. There are those who may feel an inner sadness, myself included. I hope such feelings do not run counter to the general train of thought here.

I have read "Dreams From My Father" said to be the thoughts of a then Senator Obama. I ask myself again and again as I read the so-called poem about "Pops", is it just a mere incident in his past? I remember the "innocent" young girl in the sitcom, "Gilligan's Island". She related that having very little demand after that sitcom ended, she was invited to the house of a Hollywood mogul. She was asked to share the mogul's bed with his wife for a "threesome". She had a breakdown and ran from it. I read where a child star was going for an interview with a mogul and he exposed himself to her. Was it the immortal Shirley? I cannot remember.

Your plea for forgiveness of the "damaged, willfully sinful men", is, of course, quite proper in the Christian way of things. Somehow I do deviate though. Pedophiles should be chemically castrated. Apart from that, I would like to see a Congressional inquiry into Hollywood. This after the thunder of the next presidential election is over.

Bring the whole thing out into the harsh light of day. (Forgive the rant).

It does make you wonder, whenever you watch any movie or TV show and you see the actors, you have to ask the question, what did they have to do along the way in order to get those roles.
