Hollywood Dirt: Massuer Drops Suit Against John Travolta + Tom Cruise Sings Def Leppard & More
FIRST MASSEUR DROPS SUIT AGAINST JOHN TRAVOLTA: One masseur down and one to go. The first masseur to sue JOHN TRAVOLTA for sexual battery has dropped his federal complaint.
"John Doe Number-One" was forced to file for a dismissal yesterday amid mounting evidence contradicting his allegations. The anonymous plaintiff had claimed Travolta groped him in the Beverly Hills Hotel on January 16, but the gossip site TMZ was able to prove that Travolta was in New York at the time Doe. The contradictions in Doe's story prompted his lawyer to ask him to find new representation.
Travolta's attorney, Marty Singer, tells TMZ, "My client is completely vindicated by Doe Number-One dropping his claims and dismissing his lawsuit. We fully expect that my client will similarly be vindicated with respect to Doe Number-Two, as well as with respect to any other person who makes merit-less claims against John Travolta."
But John Doe Number-Two's lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, tells the New York Daily News the second masseur, an African-American from Atlanta, has no plans to back down. "Believe me, he's not going anywhere. He was really traumatized by this. He went to the doctor for anxiety. This is somebody in the South, not Beverly Hills. When a brother is going to the doctor for anxiety, it has to be pretty bad."
