John Travolta Scandals

John Travolta’s alleged former gay lover Doug Gotterba is opening up in detail about the passionate six-year-relationship he claims they had. Buckle your seat belts.

Gotterba, 62, claims the Hollywood icon's sexual appetite is "insatiable," that he wanted to make a sex tape, and he cavorted with multiple lovers at once.

Dudes, of course.

Doug Gotterba tells the National Enquirer that he met Travolta in February 1981 when the actor interviewed him for a pilot job and they soon became lovers.

“We flew into Monterey, Calif., and went up to the Highlands resort in Carmel," he says. “We had a wonderful dinner with a fantastic bottle of merlot."

"I got the sense I was being courted. As we walked from the restaurant back to the room, John suddenly said, ‘Hey, would you like a massage?’

“I’d already prepared myself for something like that, so I said, ‘Sure, why not? I went back to his room, showered and came out wearing only a towel."

"John said, ‘Okay, like down here on the bed.’ He gave me a massage – and it turned into something else! John was gentle, but very passionate."

"The next day, he told me with a big smile, ‘I really enjoyed last night.’ And I told him, ‘So did I!” From that moment, Doug says, they were a couple.

Fabian Zanzi, the cruise ship employee who claims John Travolta exposed himself to him during a massage in 2009, is suing the actor for assault.

Zanzi is suing for unspecified damages, TMZ reports.

Travolta, who was a passenger on the ship, ordered food and asked that Fabian Zanzi personally deliver it to his Royal Caribbean room, the accuser says.

When Zanzi came in, Travolta allegedly asked for a neck massage, then when Zanzi asked for his neck, John exposed his erect penis instead.

He then forcefully embraced him, Fabian said. Zanzi resisted.

Fabian, who did not initially claim sexual assault, claims that Travolta offered him $12,000 to not say anything, and that the cruise ship management "refused to allow him to write out any details regarding nudity or sexual contact" with the star.

Two masseurs also came forward with lawsuits this spring, claiming the Hollywood legend assaulted them sexually; both suits have since been dropped. Robert Randolph and Doug Gotterba have separately alleged gay trysts with Travolta.

Travolta's attorney just released a statement regarding Zanzi's lawsuit, claiming, "This is another ludicrous lawsuit with inane claims."

John Travolta is being sued by author Robert Randolph, who accuses the movie legend of numerous gay trysts and consequently claims that Travolta spread lies about Randolph's mental health in order to diminish his credibility.

Robert claims he personally saw John engage in gay sex at various bathhouses.

The book, entitled You'll Never Spa in This Town Again, details Travolta's alleged sexual exploits with other men, including Randolph himself.

In his suit, Randolph claims that as he was releasing his book, Travolta and his powerful attorney Marty Singer unleashed a P.R. attack against him.

They claimed, Randolph says, that he had mental issues and had been institutionalized, all as a calculated attack to paint him as an unreliable source.

Randolph claims the plan worked and that retailers were deterred from selling his book. He is suing both Travolta and Singer for unspecified damages.

Another alleged Travolta gay lover, Doug Gotterba, is also said to be writing a book. Re: Randolph, a rep for Travolta has issued a statement saying:

After a week or two of relative quiet, the John Travolta sex scandal has exploded again with a new report that the actor had a six-year gay affair with his pilot.

Travolta and Doug Gotterba were lovers in the 1980s, according to Travolta’s former secretary and Gotterba’s ex boyfriend, who spilled to the National Enquirer.

We know, we know, it's the Enquirer. Grain of salt. But 1) these are just the latest in a LONG string of people alleging similar things, and 2) Rielle Hunter.

Joan Edwards was Travolta’s secretary from 1978-1994 and is the first ex-employee to publicly say the actor is gay - a surprisingly common revelation of late. 

“I did everything for him, including taking care of his personal and professional schedules. Of course I knew he was gay. It never bothered me,” she said.

Carrie Fisher has also said John Travolta is gay. Edwards says specifically, she knew of Travolta's affair with Gotterba, who began working for him in 1981. 

"That's how I met Doug. We both worked for John at the same time. Doug is a wonderful guy and we are still good friends," she told the celebrity news mag.

"He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship," she said.

Doug Gotterba is not quoted by the Enquirer about his relationship with Travolta. The tabloid says only that he confirmed his employment with the actor.

But Gotterba’s post-Travolta boyfriend, Robert Britz, confirms that and more.

"Doug told me right at the beginning of our relationship that he'd had a homosexual relationship with John Travolta in the 1980s," Britz recalled.

Two days after the first accuser dropped his lawsuit, a new man has come forward accusing John Travolta of sexual misconduct, making for in all.

The fourth accuser is a gym employee who accuses the star of groping and fondling him against his will. Travolta's lawyer, obviously, denies it.

"As a result of the published lies about my client we expect some John Does to come out of the woodwork and assert false claims," Marty Singer said.

The previous three men are:

1. John Doe #1, an anonymous masseur who hired Gloria Allred to represent him after being dropped by his previous attorney last week.
2. An Atlanta based masseur, also anonymous, who alleges sexual assault at a hotel and who is being represented by Okorie Okorocha.
3. Former Royal Caribbean employee Fabian Zanzi.

The gym employee-personal trainer claims he would open the gym for John Travolta when he was on location for a film shoot, after hours."

He did this as a courtesy for the Grease star, so he could enjoy privacy but maintain his fitness fir a physically challenging role he was doing.

The man says that inside the gym, John Travolta groped and fondled him against his will," though further details are scarce at this time.

John Travolta asked a room steward, Fabian Zanzi, on a Royal Caribbean cruise line to give him a neck massage in his room, according to the incident report.

Zanzi, the third man to allege sexual misconduct against by the actor this month, did not originally mention any overt sexual overture on Travolta's part.

Zanzi claims he was delivering something to Travolta's room when the star asked for a neck massage. Fabian claimed he obliged ... and it got awkward.

Travolta "then told him he was beautiful and invited him to visit him that night," but Zanzi refused, citing company policy barring fraternizing with guests.

Fabian Zanzi reported the incident and was disciplined for the neck massage, itself a violation of the no-fraternization rule. He was subsequently fired.

Fabian now says the encounter was much more than described in the incident report, claiming John Travolta opened his robe and gave him a big hug.

While offering him $12,000 for sex and silence ... and fully erect.

The second masseur accusing John Travolta of sexual assault will try to settle with the actor in front of a private judge in mediation, according to reports.

The unidentified male masseur in Atlanta made the stunning claims against Travolta several days after another anonymous man filed a similar lawsuit.

The first accuser admitted the wrong date in his initial allegation and has been dumped by their lawyer, but the second accuser has remained steadfast.

John's wife, Kelly Preston, has been silent regarding the allegations.

If they are proceeding to mediation, it implies that the second set of allegations are being taken seriously by the actor's camp (which has still denied them).

According to the lawsuit, the second victim alleges that while he worked at a resort in Atlanta, Ga., on January 28, he did an in-room massage on Travolta.

As the massage ended, Travolta sexually assaulted the masseur:

"Travolta suddenly turned on his stomach with his legs wide open with a full erection. He then tried to force Doe Plaintiff No. 2's hand on Travolta's scrotum."

The masseur suing John Travolta for sexual battery in a Beverly Hills hotel is admitting a major hole in his shocking story - that the date he claimed the actor groped his crotch - January 16 of this year - is wrong.

John Doe #1 still maintains the attack happened, however.

Travolta’s lawyer has insisted from the beginning that he was in New York City during the alleged massage gone awry, proving it with flight records.

The anonymous accuser's account of the incident remains the same, however, but in a significant development, he now says it took place earlier.

“It was a miscalculation,” one source claims about him claiming the wrong date. "The lawsuit will likely be amended, but it doesn't change the facts.”

Meanwhile, the Atlanta resort hotel where John Travolta stayed at when he allegedly sexually assaulted a second masseur has been put on notice.

The hotel is preserving its surveillance video as evidence in the lawsuit filed by the man, also unidentified and also seeking $2 million in damages.

And then there were three.

Another man has come forward with allegations that John Travolta sexually harassed him. Fabian Zanzi says Travolta came onto him on a cruise ship.

The Chilean-born Zanzi alleges Travolta accosted him while he was working on a Royal Caribbean ship in 2009. The actor was a guest on the boat.

Zanzi, a former employee of the cruise line, was in charge of VIP guests for the ship when the alleged incident involving John Travolta took place.

Zanzi gave South American news website ABC.es the following account:

"He had something on his neck. I thought it was fuzz. As I approached, he took off his white coat and was naked. He hugged me and asked me to do a massage."

Zanzi alleges that Travolta offered $12,000 to have sex, but he says he refused. Zanzi says he will file a sexual harassment lawsuit against Travolta.

As previously reported, in a shocking lawsuit against John Travolta filed this week, two unidentified masseurs allege that Travolta sexually assaulted them.

They are suing the actor for $2 million in damages. Each. Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the sexual battery allegations.

Travolta has been married to actress Kelly Preston since 1991 and has two children. Their eldest child, Jett, tragically passed away in 2009.

The lawyer for the two masseurs suing John Travolta for sexual assault claims others have come forward with similar stories and will join the lawsuit.

Okorie Okorocha, who reps John Travolta accuser (John Doe) #1 and #2, says he's keeping their identities secret because they're victims of sex crimes.

He also says he fears backlash against the men from the powerful actor.

Okorocha claims he tried settling the first sexual battery lawsuit involving John Doe #1 discretely, telling Travolta's lawyers they could go through a private judge and keep everything completely confidential, only to be rebuffed.

Okorocha also says Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, is off base when he says the movie legend was not in L.A. January 16, as he vehemently insists.

That's date the first incident allegedly occurred, and Okorocha says during their initial discussions, Travolta's lawyers conceded the actor was in L.A.

The second alleged victim came forward days with a similar account of Travolta paying for a massage, then propositioning him/groping his genitals.

It's unclear how many other men may join the salacious lawsuit, if any, but the first two John Does are seeking $2 million in damages ... apiece.
