A former pilot, Doug Gotterba, who claims to have been engaged in a gay relationship with John Travolta for six years, has responded to the actor’s accusations of financial motives behind a lawsuit filed by the pilot.

In an exclusive report, John Travolta asserts that his ex-airline pilot is driven by money in the legal action against him.

However, Gotterba clarifies that the lawsuit is not about monetary gain; rather, it seeks declaratory relief and validation of his claims without any financial implications.

Gotterba reportedly tried to settle the case out of court for $10 million before proceeding with legal action against Travolta.

The pilot, who worked for Travolta in the 1980s, alleges a romantic involvement with the Hollywood star during his employment period and plans to document their relationship in a forthcoming book.

Responding to Travolta’s comments in an interview, Gotterba refuted the claim of seeking money and emphasized that the dispute is centered on establishing the truth through a court judgment, not on financial incentives.

The ongoing legal battle revolves around the authenticity of a confidentiality agreement that Gotterba purportedly signed while working for Travolta.

Despite the star’s representative disclosing the settlement request made by Gotterba, the former pilot remains steadfast in his pursuit of validation for his narrative.

Gotterba, who voluntarily left Travolta’s aircraft company after six years of service, aims to share his life story, including his alleged intimate relationship with Travolta, which emerged following revelations from another former employee.

Travolta, known for his role in “Saturday Night Fever,” has faced past allegations regarding his personal life, with previous legal disputes related to his alleged homosexual encounters.

While the actor has acknowledged being targeted by such claims, he maintains a composed stance amid media scrutiny.

The actor’s tumultuous experiences, including the tragic loss of his son Jett in 2009, have been further exacerbated by public speculations and controversies, leading Travolta to express his discontent over intrusive media coverage concerning his family matters.
