John Travolta makes public appearance with wife Kelly Preston same day as yet another lawsuit is filed

John Travolta is still a big movie star and last night, he was on movie star duty in Los Angeles for the premiere of his latest film Savages.

Travolta was accompanied by his lovely wife, Kelly Preston, and the occasion marked the first time they have attended a public event together since a series of sexual harassment lawsuits were filed against the star of Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Pulp Fiction and Hairspray.

The latest lawsuit was filed on Monday by Fabian Zanzi, a former Royal Caribbean Cruise Line steward who is seeking unspecified damages stemming from an alleged incident on a 2009 cruise.

Zanzi claims that when he brought food to Travolta on the ship, the actor asked for a neck massage. He said that when he reached for Travolta’s neck, the star took off his robe and forcefully hugged the employee, according to TMZ.com.

He also alleges that Travolta him that he was ‘beautiful’ then said, ‘Take me, I will take care of you, please.’

Zanzi, who said his bosses did nothing after he reported the accident, claims Travolta offered him $12,000 to keep quiet.

Two male masseurs are also accusing Travolta of sexual harassment. They filed lawsuits amid a storm of publicity then quietly dropped them. They have since enlisted the services of famed attorney Gloria Allred but have yet to refile their lawsuits.

In other Travolta legal news, the author of a self-published book called You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court last week against Travolta and his attorney, Marty Singer.

Robert Randolph is seeking unspecified damages and charges that the pair harmed his reputation with false statements and hurt the sales of his book which alleges he had sexual encounters with Travolta and other celebrities.

Singer has denied all allegations.

    Think I’ve followed ‘all of this’ as much as anyone. For all the publicity about JT, I had searched for the Robert Randolph “You’ll Never Spa In This Town Again” book several months ago but could not find, I finally found on amazon today and ordered. As strange as it may sound my interest is with the gossip but have total support including privacy and sympathy/empathy for the involved children.

  2. I don’t get it. I never thought John Travolta was all that, from his Welcome Back Kotter days ’til now. Never thought he was good looking or could act. The only thing that intrigues me is that I guess he has a jet plane parked at his house, and how many guys got their Mile High Club card from him in that plane.

  3. JT-if you’re gay just come out already. I don’t think anyone will care. Living in the closet is toxic and nothing good ever comes from it IMHO.
