John Travolta Sued for Assault and Sexual Battery by Masseur, Actor's Rep Calls Claim a "Baseless Lie"
Today 12:36 PM PDT by Claudia Rosenbaum and Baker Machado



Is this merely a case of pulp pure fiction?

John Travolta has been sued for assault and sexual battery in federal court by an anonymous masseur, who claims the actor tried to have sex with him after hiring him for a massage.

The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe in the lawsuit obtained by E! News, claims, among other things, that Travolta touched his scrotum and penis after having stripped in front of the masseur.

The suit claims Travolta apologized for his behavior, but continued to pursue the idea of sex with the man and later suggested that they have sex with a "Hollywood starlet in the building that wanted to have three-way sex and to be double penetrated."

What's more, the lawsuit claims that the star said he "got where he is now due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his Welcome Back, Kotter days."

The court papers also claim the man asked to be taken back to where he was picked up and received double his fee or $800.

The plaintiff is seeking $2 million in general damages, unspecified punitive damages and court costs.

Meanwhile, Travolta's camp released the following statement to E! News about the matter.

"This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication," it reads. "None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie...On that date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution."

The Daily News tracked down one of John Travolta’s first accusers, revealing him as a hulking 250-pound masseur and certified black belt who works at a posh spa in Atlanta.

John Truesdale — formerly known only as John Doe No. 2 — sued the “Welcome Back, Kotter” star for sexual battery only to withdraw the case on Thursday. He was nameless and faceless until the Daily News found him this week.

“I thought I was supposed to be anonymous,” the mild-mannered massage therapist said, as he posed for a photo.

Truesdale, 40, confirmed he works in the spa at the posh Mandarin Oriental in Atlanta but declined to discuss claims that Travolta sexually accosted him in a hotel suite on the 15th floor in January. At that time the swanky hotel was called the Mansion on Peachtree.

“The paparazzi are here for me?” he asked, breaking out in laughter. “I can’t believe it.”

Truesdale dropped the suit and his original lawyer, Okorie Okorocha.

He’s now represented by Gloria Allred, a move that set off fireworks between the two lawyers.

A beefy 6-footer with massive arms, Truesdale is soft-spoken and has a calm demeanor. He’s a certified nail technician, a licensed massage therapist and a married dad.

He filed a bombshell $2 million federal lawsuit on May 8, claiming in graphic detail that the “Pulp Fiction” star had “bloodshot eyes” and a “strange” disposition as he stripped naked and started to “hump” a massage table set up in his private suite on Jan. 28.

Truesdale accused Travolta of “spreading his butt cheeks.” Then the actor asked for an odd amount of work on his butt muscles, he charged.

He said Travolta groped his upper thighs and grabbed between his legs, according to the lawsuit originally filed by Okorocha.
The Atlanta man said the Oscar nominee started pleasuring himself with about 15 minutes left in the session and “forcibly” hugged him as he tried to flee.

“I can't talk about (the case),” said Truesdale, a former high school football player and onetime U.S. Army medic. “I’m not allowed to give any comment.”

Truesdale was once a party to a lawsuit filed by Okorocha on behalf of a masseur identified only as John Doe No. 1. That man claimed Travolta groped him in the Beverly Hills Hotel on Jan. 16.

Flight records, photos and a witness placed Travolta almost 3,000 miles away in New York at the time of the alleged California attack. The first accuser later said he simply made a mistake on the timeline. He has also withdrawn his lawsuit. And he hired Allred, too.

Okorocha said he was blindsided after losing his clients. He threatened on Friday to sue Allred, claiming she “poached” Truesdale by calling him directly.

He offered up text messages with “John Doe No. 2” to bolster his claim.

“Nobody else wanted John Doe 2’s case, to go up against Travolta,” he said Friday.
“I was the only one. . . And I was willing to file under John Doe and take all the heat and the death threats myself,” said a livid Okorocha.

“Then once I get the case to national prominence, (Allred) takes over,” he charged. “It’s illegal.”
Allred denied the allegation.

“Mr. Okorocha’s representations are false, outrageous and defamatory,” she said in a statement, claiming the Atlanta masseur reached out to her first.

“I have been practicing law for the past 37 years and I have not and do not solicit clients.”
She said she’s now conferring with the two accuser about the possibility of refiling lawsuits.

Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, called the claims of both masseurs baseless. He also denied his client bought the federal court dismissals with hush money.

“Not one penny has been paid nor do we have any intention to pay any money for these ridiculous and false claims,” Singer said in a statement shared with The News.

Travolta’s sex scandal grew beyond the lawsuits when more hotel staffers from southern California to Seattle to Miami stepped from the shadows with similar allegations.

In a News exclusive, one masseur claimed he was groped by a writhing and groaning Travolta while performing a massage at the Eden Roc resort in Miami in 2000.

“Hearing about all the cases now, I regret not saying something sooner,” Jeff, the 46-year-old former Eden Roc masseur now living in Dallas, said.
