John Travolta gets accused of sexual assault.
"This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication," said the star of Pulp Fiction via a written statement. The statement told E! News that Travolta was on the East Coast when the incident allegedly happened. "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 added.
The plaintiff claimed Travolta rubbed his leg and touched his private part. He also claimed that the star of Grease offered to perform sexual act on him when he refused to agree with Travolta's advances.
"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."
A male masseur caused a furor when he claimed Travolta tried to have sex with him during a massage session. The unnamed plaintiff said Travolta touched his genitals and gave him an indecent proposal. He claimed that Travolta got his services via online booking. He was picked up by Travolta in his black Lexus SUV. The two drove to a hotel in Beverly Hills hotel, then proceeded to the actor's house. The plaintiff is seeking a $2 million dollars in damages.
John Travolta is the star of critically acclaimed classics such as Grease (1978) and Saturday Night Fever (1977). He also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's action Pulp Fiction alongside Samuel Jackson.
The sexual charges caused rumors about Travolta's sexual orientation, although Travolta is currently married and has children. He is married to Kelly Preston in 1991. They have three children, but their firstborn, Jett, died in 2009 because of seizures.
