John Travolta is gayer than a rainbow feather boa around a drag queen’s neck as she rides on a float in the gay pride parade, but he still won’t come out. Instead, he gets massages and then tries to hump on the masseuses and when they file lawsuits, he denies it until he’s blue in the face. However, sometimes there are money grubbers who will try to make an easy dime from a celebrity, and turns out at least one of the masseuses was less than honest, as his lawsuit against the actor – claiming that Travolta forced him to get naked before trying to get freaky with him – has been thrown out.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
The attorneys for John Travolta and a cruise ship worker accusing the actor of assault stipulated to the dismissal of a high-profile lawsuit.
The lawsuit was filed by Fabian Zanzi, a ship attendant on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship that carried Travolta as a passenger in June 2009. Zanzi says that upon request, he gave Travolta a neck massage. Travolta allegedly disrobed, exposed himself and then “forcefully embraced” him.
On Friday, a judge denied Travolta’s attempt to throw it into arbitration. On Monday, the parties agreed to drop the case. Neither party was available to discuss what prompted the dismissal.
In the lawsuit, Travolta gave his own sworn declaration.
“While I was indeed a passenger aboard the MS Enchantment of the Seas in or about June 2009, Mr. Zanzi’s allegations in the Complaint are entirely false, including… a purported physical encounter with me and his allegations… regarding an alleged financial offer I made him. None of these events happened, and Zanzi’s allegations are pure fabrication.”
Fair play to Travolta on this one, but one liar doesn’t make the rest of them unreliable. I know Scientology probably isn’t into Adam and Steve over Adam and Eve, but get with it and just come out already, for crying out loud. Seriously, it’s okay, wade in. The water’s just fine!
The lawsuit was dropped because he paid the guy off, obviously. In arbitration, he could have confidentially tried to roll the dice – but he wasn’t about to let this play out in open court. No arbitration, then *poof!* It’s no sma coincidence.

Balls right on that!
