CLAIM: John Travolta Offered Masseur Sex Accuser $125,000 for Silence

The New York Daily News claims John Travolta’s legal team offered massage therapist John Truesdale $125,000 to withdraw his sexual battery lawsuit against the Hollywood star and to silence him after he alleged that Travolta tried to initiate sexual contact in an Atlanta hotel.

A “source” tells the newspaper that Truesdale was offered a “six-figure sum” not to pursue his serious accusations against Travolta.

Truesdale was recently identified as the “John Doe #2″ who, along with a second masseur, filed and then dropped a lawsuit through lawyer Okorie Okorocha, who was subsequently replaced by Gloria Allred.

But Travolta’s camp is strongly denying the Daily News report of a proposed payoff.

The actor’s lawyer, Marty Singer, tells Gossip Cop: “This ridiculous story about a purported six figure settlement offer to Doe #2 is false, just like the claim by the New York Daily News that my client had been ‘banned’ from the Peninsula Hotel.”

He notes, “The Daily News’ source, Michael Caputo, is quoted on the record in People magazine confirming that my client was never banned from the Peninsula,” adding, “It seems like the Daily News will publish virtually anything it is told even if there is no truth to it.”

We gave a feeling the fighting is not quite done.

    I believe it!!!. Everybody in Hollywood knows he is gay!!!

    I believe this to be true. If your really an innocent man you don’t offer to pay someone off, an innocent person would want their day in court to prove that such a claim is not true.

    Travolta’s lawyer says that it is not true.

    If those accusations are true, then if anything he would be bi-sexual. He has children and a wife he loves.

    Don’t know if there’s any truth to these rumors or not, but I have read allegations like this on quite a number of unconnected, usually reliable sites. If it’s true, my estimation of Travolta’s acting ability will go way up because he’ll have done a masterful job of covering up who he really is for a very, very long time.

    Anyways, I wasn’t sure about it at first, but at this point I’m starting to believe it..

    John Travolta loves his family !!! We love you John Travolta He’s a very sweet man.Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people. And John and Kelly are very good people.
    I had 100% faith in his innocence when he was first accused and I stand by him. He’s one of the greatest actors in America and these sensation seeking morons should be ashamed of making false accusations. I love John as an actor & he seems like one of the most compassionate people on this earth!

    hang in there john, everything going to work out for you n your family.

  • smartchick

    Oh come on people! This is John’s private business and it shouldn’t matter if he is straight, gay, bi, or Martian…..he is a wonderful actor and a lovely and compassionate person. He is there for a lot of people, both famous and unknown, and does a lot of good in the world. People who try to shake down the famous for financial gain are just sad, disgusting losers, who either need to give themselves 15 min. of fame, or are looking to make a fast buck! John’s family are happy with him, no matter what…..and that’s all that should matter.
