From Pee-ople:
A rep for Travolta strongly denies all the claims and says the actor intends to countersue the masseur, identified as John Doe in his court filing, and his attorney for malicious prosecution.
“This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication,” Travolta’s rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. “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. It is for that reason that the plaintiff hasn’t been identified with a name even though it is required to do so.”
“On the date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast,” the statement continues.
As a result of the incident, says the complaint, “The Plaintiff suffered severe emotional distress … including but not limited to suffering, anguish, fright, horror, nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, shock, humiliation and shame.”
Travolta’s rep tells PEOPLE, “[The] 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.”
But wait. Hold up a second. Did it not just—right up there—say that the man filed the paperwork as a John Doe, but yet Travolta’s rep says that this John Doe person is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame? Does the neither the rep nor John Travolta understand how the generic “John Doe” alias works? Because there’s generally zero fame or recognition attached to that. Primarily because, you know, there’s a certain level of intentional anonymity there.
Or the part where it says that “… The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie. It is for that reason that the plaintiff hasn’t been identified with a name even though it is required to do so.” It is for what reason? The John Doe’s not giving his name because it didn’t happen? I thought that only worked at summer camp? “Pictures or it didn’t happen!” No, I’d say that maybe the dude filing the suit didn’t identify himself because he didn’t want to be identified. He maybe didn’t want people to know that he got stuck in an all-around embarrassing situation with the notoriously suave pee-pee toucher, John Travolta. And I honestly can’t blame him—could you?
should be easily dismissed if they can really prove jon was in a different location
“Did it not just—right up there—say that the man filed the paperwork as a John Doe, but yet Travolta’s rep says that this John Doe person is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame?”
–“[The] plaintiff’s attorney “……. they are referring to the attorney wanting the fame, not the plantiff.
Re-read it! It says the Plaintiffs attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. Not the Jon Doe to get his 15 mins. of fame.
I hope the masseur gets sued and and is totally black listed in Hollywood. If he was really afraid and that humiliated he would not have rubbed his shoulders. Also, if the Jon Doe knows that the pants were pulled up with underwear at the same time, he was looking then! There is just too much detail given and this guy is lying. He would have told someone at the hotel counter to call him a cab or call the police!
oh good lord just come out of the closet already John!
Legally speaking someone accused of a crime has the right to know who the accuser is and face him. thus the john doe was and is legally required to give his name. And i would say he does want his 5min of fame. knowing that he WILL have to disclose his name legally for this to go anywhere, he first got people interested in the case by annoynimity so when he comes forward people will want to know his name, who he is, and his story. If i was Travolta’s legal team I would think the same thing. Also if they can prove Travolta was across the country, its obvious fame and defamation of Travolta are John Doe’s only goals.
John Travolta is being exploited.. & the lawyer wants his fifteen minutes. The maseur is in Atlanta & knew John Travolta was going to make a movie [with Robert De Niro] hoping that John Travolta would do a promotional tour, the media would have a feild day only asking questions about this prying into details. John Travolta wasn’t near either of them. It’s BS>!!
