John Travolta’s Pilot Claims The Men Engaged In A ‘Six-Year Gay Affair’
John Travolta’s former pilot, Doug Gottterba claims he and the super-star actor had a “six-year gay affair” during the 1980s. The alleged homosexual affair occurred before John Travolta married actress Kelly Preston. Doug Gotterba further maintains that John Travolta stated he “preferred men” not long after the actor and Kelly Preston exchanged wedding vows in 1991, the Daily Mail reports.
John Travolta gay rumors uttered publicly by Doug Gotterba first made headlines in June. John Travolta’s former pilot told The National Enquirer he began working with movie star in 1981 and the sexual relationship began shortly later. Attorneys for John Travolta deny this gay rumor as strenuously as they have denied a plethora of similar claims made against the actor by other men, according to the Daily Mail.
Doug Gotterba also maintains he and Travolta flew to Monterey, California and stayed together at the Highlands resort in Carmel.
“We had a wonderful dinner with a fantastic bottle of merlot, and I got the sense I was being courted. As we walked from the restaurant back to the room, John suddenly said, ‘Hey, would you like a massage?’ I’d already prepared myself for something like that, so I said ‘sure, why not?’ I went back to his room, showered and came our wearing only a towel.”
Doug Gotterba went on to detail his alleged night spent with John Travolta, claiming the actor gave him a massage and was both “gentle” and “passionate.” Travolta’s former pilot also claimed the massage “turned into something else,” indicating the pair of men had sex. Doug Gotterba further claims John Travolta enjoyed having multiple sex partners and wanted to make a sex tape.
John Travolta’s former secretary, Joan Edwards, backed up Doug Gotterba’s claims that he and John Travolta had an affair. Author Robert Randolph claims John Travolta and attorney Marty Singer made erroneous claims about the writer’s mental health to prevent his book from being published. Robert Randolph penned You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again, which claims that John Travolta, 58, had sex with different men at various bathhouses.

don't believe everything you read.
Aug 30, 2012
Why is it that a "former" pilot and secretary decide to reveal this now 30 years later. So what if they did something. This sounds like they tried to blackmail him and it didn't work. Whether or not John Travolta had sex with a man is old news I don't doubt it but seriously who cares? It's his life and personally who would want to hire an ex pilot or secretary who goes around revealing personal information about a former employer? I definitely wouldn't.
HUGS.
John you're a good actor…I've loved you since you were Vinnie Barbarino…stay strong

Aug 30, 2012

nonono! don't believe 1 blasted word of that rumor. for one thing he was married before kelly, to a much older women, that later died ,& he stuck with her to the end…it is all about the almighty $$$.
Aug 30, 2012
I agree with Kimberly! Who cares! 30 years ago? Really! Obviously, his wife Kelly loves him and has been with him all of these years so why don't people just leave it alone! Definitely more important issues in this world to deal with!
Aug 30, 2012
It would break my heart if he was gay. I've loved him from the very first time I saw him as vinnie.

My sentiments exactly Myriam. I love him either way! I think he is a beautiful soul who was going through a tough time back then, having lost the love of his life. His sex life has nothing to do with who he is.
Aug 30, 2012
leave the man alone ;hes life is more importing now not 30 years ago.
Aug 30, 2012
He is such a very charismatic actor so talented and handsome and if he were to be gay, and the allegations were true, I would be so sad as many would be. But I still think he is a great actor no matter what.
Aug 30, 2012
They are just so set on dragging his name thru the mud. I love John Travolta no matter what his sexual orientation is !

Aug 30, 2012
I argee leave him alone
Aug 30, 2012
John Travolta likes things in his butt.
Aug 30, 2012
I have to look at the source of these accuations. 2 gay men come up with this bullshit 30 years after the fact. And then there's the story that "breaks" in the National Enquirer, a news rag that also says Clinton got his orders from space aliens. Oh yes, real believable. I have to ask, Why aren't the gay rights people saying anything about this?
Aug 30, 2012
He does prefer men. That is his business. But what makes it so illicit is that he is married and doing this behind Kellys back. That is what I don't respect.

I think The INQUISITR is becoming a CYBER RAG just like The Enquirer News paper is. Why are we dredging up crap that happened 30 years ago? And why isn't that fag pilot dead of AIDS yet?

Leave the guy alone. All these bs coming up after 30 years and the only reason is that these two are trying to make a buck off him.

I could care less if he's gay or not. I tend to believe these reports simply because there are too many men coming out with these stories to all be made up. John proved with his son, Jett, that he has always been in denial about a lot of things. Maybe these men have waited 30 years to give John his fame, and now that his star is fading, have come out with the stories. Where there is smoke, there is usually a fire. Rumors may get out of hand, but most of them are based on some facts.
Aug 30, 2012
What he is or what he does is no ones business but his own. As long as he doesn't include children. It's his free choice.
Aug 30, 2012
really, who cares, he is a great guy!
Aug 30, 2012
we have no right to his past nor present life its his, love his movies and the rest is his life why do we need to know anyway.
Aug 30, 2012
How much money did the Enquirer pay the pilot for his story. Did he enjoy the 30 pieces of silver he got for dragging his employer through the dirt. He is the one who should be looked down on for being such a low life as to hurt someone who gave him a job and obviously he wanted to be with John Travolta as well and then to treat him like this. For shame
Aug 30, 2012
Dont believe it who care what he did 30years ago he's marry to a beautiful woman so please leave my best actor alone
Aug 30, 2012
I think these movie star's personal lives are none of our business. This is just smut…true or not. I personally do not know anyone of the movie stars out there but I do like the characters they play. I think he is just fine and am sick of hearing people crawling out of the woodwork like cockroaches.
Aug 30, 2012
Who cares??? Leave him alone..

Travolta is one of the most popular people on the planet. Don't people think if it were true, he would know it would make major headlines. He isn't gay. LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU MONEY HUNGRY LOSERS!! He's been through enough pain. Go earn your 'OWN' money!
Aug 30, 2012
Personally I don't care whether John Travolta is gay or not. It's his life to live as he pleases. I have always enjoyed his tv shows and movies. John seems like a good guy.
Aug 30, 2012
Yes you are right! It was that woman who played on the TV show Eight is Enough. I can't remember what her name is right now.
Aug 30, 2012

Aug 31, 2012

Aug 31, 2012
If John Travolta is Gay or Bi sexual- I don't care. It is none of my business.

I read some where that he's trying to get out of Scientology after the death of his son so they are doing this as a punishment…or pay back as it were.

It's greased lightning!!!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn't shock me to see that they are behind it at all

He didn't wait 30 years. This is all old news, it's been published before. In fact, Travolta openly admitted on the Tonight Show that his relationship with his wife began as an arranged affair in response to these very same rumors. I don't see that it really matters anymore…he's not a Hollywood heartthrob anymore, so he doesn't have to worry about alienating his female fan base like George Michael and Ricky Martin did.
Sep 3, 2012
I remember published reports in the media over twenty years ago by several men who even then claimed to have had sexual relationships with Travolta. In fact, Travolta openly admitted on the Tonight Show that he met his wife during an arranged affair with Preston designed to counter those very rumors.
