Ron Hubbard had sent Travolta a copy of his book Battlefield Earth in 1982, but Travolta's career was in a state of floundering after a number of flops after his early success in the late seventies. When it comes to mixing business and religion, Scientology has not proved to be a bankable success for Travolta. (It's) given me the tools to handle life's issues, stresses and problems.' SCIENTOLOGY: NOT A BANKABLE SUCCESS FOR TRAVOLTA Travolta was the youngest of six children. He and his father built barbecue pits and their own pools, decks and 'aeroplanes' to save money. He converted to the controversial religion in 1975, while in Mexico filming horror film The Devil's Rain, which is credited as Travolta's first film.Д«orn to a second generation Italian father and an Irish Catholic mother, Travolta was raised a Roman Catholic in Jersey, in a household he described as being mostly Irish Catholic. Travolta's enthusiasm for Scientology, even in the nineties as he pushed for the production of megaflop Battlefield Earth, was not new. Travolta and his wife, fellow Scientologist Kelly Preston. The church is anti-gay even if they don't publicise it.' 'All I know is it would be a catastrophe if he or anyone else in Scientology came out as gay. I'm not going to speculate.' Rinder said. 'I cannot say if he (Travolta) is gay or not. 'RISKY SEXUAL ADVENTURES'ДЄ former Scientology devotee and friend of Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, Mike Rinder, offered speculation on the Church of Scientology's attitude towards homosexuality. 'This is about the truth and my right for a court to decide who is telling the truth, not for Mr Travolta to make a judgment,' He did, however, offer not to tell the story if Travolta gave him $US10 million. Travolta responded by saying he was out to extort money, calling the claims ridiculous.Д«ut Gotterba was recalcitrant, saying, 'Our dispute is purely about declaratory relief and will be a non-monetary judgment. Gotterba stopped working for Travolta in 1987 and signed a 'termination agreement' that included a 'confidentiality clause', which the co-pilot disputed the validity of when he expressed his intentions to tell the story of his affair in a tell-all book. The report concluded the complaint did not meet the requirements for sexual battery and the case was dropped without further investigation by police.ДЄround the same time a second allegation emerged when another unnamed spa employee claimed Travolta assaulted him late at night in similar circumstances, but the case fell apart after Travolta provided a strong alibi that proved he was in another city at the time. The report also alleged Travolta said a number of sexually explicit things to the masseuse. He also accused Travolta of reaching out while laying face down and touching the masseuse intimately. The spa employee accused Travolta of repeatedly removing his towel and exposing his buttocks, inviting him into the steam room so he wouldn't be alone, telling the masseuse he was attractive and he was 'excited' and dropping his own towel while standing. Travolta had booked a deep tissue massage after midnight at the LaQuinta Hotel in Palm Springs in California. In 2017, a police report surfaced of a harassment charge filed against Travolta by a 21-year-old male spa employee in February 2000. On a bad day rumours circulate of dangerous sexual escapades decades of concealing his sexuality and allegations he sexually assaulted two masseuses in late night spas (which he denied and were investigated but later closed by police): behaviour that is more Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction than it is Danny from Grease.
