Iconic actor John Travolta has recently addressed the public for the first time concerning allegations made by his ex-pilot regarding their supposed romantic involvement.
Earlier this year, Douglas Gotterba claimed that he and Travolta had engaged in a s**ual relationship while he was in his employment.
Court documents from the California Court of Appeal reveal that Gotterba had worked for Travolta’s aviation company, Alto, for six years before departing voluntarily in 1987.
Currently, Travolta and Gotterba are entangled in a legal battle over these assertions.
Gotterba asserts that he was not bound by any confidentiality agreement during his service, which would have prohibited him from revealing the details of his alleged intimate connection with Travolta.
On the contrary, Travolta’s attorney, Martin Singer, strongly refutes these claims.
Singer, addressing the matter, pointed out the common vulnerability of celebrities to such accusations, often driven by monetary motives.
He expressed his indifference towards the issue, stating that he has distanced himself from media controversies due to their uncontrollable nature.
In response to whether he felt offended by the allegations, Travolta highlighted that the loss of his son was the most devastating experience in his life.
He emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries when it comes to personal matters, particularly involving one’s family.
The tragic passing of Jett Travolta at the age of 16 following a seizure during a family vacation in the Bahamas in 2009 has been described by the actor as the ultimate tragedy he has endured.
However, the legal counsel for Travolta, Martin Singer, became aware in 2012 of Gotterba’s intentions to disclose his experiences with Travolta in a potential tell-all publication.
Singer cautioned Gotterba against breaching what was purported to be a binding four-page confidentiality agreement, highlighting the possible financial repercussions amounting to millions of dollars.
Gotterba denies ever signing such an agreement despite assertions from Alto that he did so back in April 1991.
The ongoing legal dispute continues between Travolta and Gotterba, with conflicting accounts and legal implications surrounding the alleged romantic involvement between the two individuals.
