John Travolta Responds To Gay Rumors, Pending Lawsuit

JOHN TRAVOLTA

John Travolta is speaking out about gay rumors and a pending lawsuit filed against him by an alleged former lover.

In a new interview with The Daily Beast, John Travolta, 60, opens up about rumors that he's gay -- specifically a lawsuit from a man who alleged he was Travolta's former pilot, and that the two were engaged in a relationship that was more than professional.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Douglas Gotterba -- who worked for John Travolta's aircraft company Alto in the '80s -- will get the opportunity to argue in a lawsuit that he holds no confidentiality duties to the Grease actor, and is therefore free to write a book he’s allegedly been planning.over.

Rumors regarding Travolta's sexuality have been circulating for years, but Travolta said he found the gossip particularly offensive following the death of his 16-year-old son, Jett, in 2009. Tabloids claimed Jett was found by nanny Jeff Kathrein, who was supposedly Travolta's lover.

"I found it most offensive with the loss of my son," the 60-year-old star told the Daily Beast. "I felt like that was the lowest I’d ever felt. Sex stuff is always going to be interesting to somebody, but you stay away from family. You really should. With that, I always felt like the media -- not all of the media, but parts of it -- went too low there."
