His name is John Truesdale, he is 40 and he works as a masseur at the upscale Mandarin Oriental spa.
The 250-pound certified black belt tells the Daily News that 58-year-old Travolta “sexually accosted him in a hotel suite on the 15th floor in January. At that time the swanky hotel was called the Mansion on Peachtree.”
In an exclusive video that was posted to YouTube by Mr. X (the video has since been made private), Truesdale’s former co-worker, explains how an anxious Truesdale came running downstairs following his 15-minute encounter with Travolta.
“I can’t do this!” he quoted a flabbergasted Truesdale as saying at the time.
Moments later, Travolta came downstairs and ordered the masseur to return to his room. But Truesdale refused, according to the former co-worker.
Truesdale, who is now represented by Gloria Allred, filed a $2 million lawsuit against Travolta on May 8.
In court documents, Truesdale describes in graphic detail how Travolta manipulated his genitals — and how the actor, who was sexually aroused, started to “hump” the massage table in his suite at the hotel.
By that time Truesdale had enough of Travolta, who he accused of “spreading his butt cheeks,” and asking the former high school football player to pay particular attention to his butt muscles during the massage.
Travolta has vigorously denied the charges from Truesdale and his first accuser who has since dropped his lawsuit in California. Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, calls the lawsuits “baseless” and a bunch of lies.
But other masseurs have come out of the woodwork with their own tales of sexual misconduct involving the former ‘Grease’ star.
According to the NY Post, Vikki Lizzi, the former fiancée of late actor Jeff Conaway, who co-starred with Travolta in ‘Grease,’ has come forward to reveal a shocking detail that Conaway wrote in a suicide note he left after an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2006.
Conaway, who died at age 60 last May 2011 of complications from pneumonia, allegedly wrote that he awoke one morning to find Travolta, who was a guest in his home, giving him unsolicited oral sex. The bizarre episode ended Conaway and Travolta’s long friendship.
I don’t doubt that the rumors that have been going around for so many years are somehow grounded in truth (I’m more shocked by the fact that he’s really bald than his probable gayness) but either his pockets are so deep that he can pay off all these people or something else is going on since no one has come forward until now.

Why did it take Mr. Truesdale so long to come forward? Because if someone was fondling me, humping tables and spreading his ass cheeks I would’ve ran outta there and filed a report immediately not several months later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They didn’t come forward because they knew no one would believe them and no lawyer would take their case. When the story first broke in the Enquirer last month none of the media outlets touched the story. Not TMZ, not Page Six, no one! But as soon as a small time lawyer out in Cali agreed to take the case, that’s when the story made headlines. Now Gloria Allred steps in and snatches the clients from the small-time lawyer.

Gloria Allred disgusts me cause she only takes cases for the publicity they will garner. But it still doesn’t explain why no one thought to file a sexual assault charge immediately instead of just trying to sue.

Their stories would have been more credible that way and even if no media outlet or lawyer would touch the story in the beginning, a police report and subsequent investigation would have created instant headlines as well.

I wonder if the Canadians will get their turn. When Travolta was filming Hairspray in Toronto, the stories from disgruntled massage therapists made it to the blogs (although word has it he found a couple willing to play for pay). Travolta should of paid out number 1, even though he had the date wrong, because now that this is public, every single one of his former victims are going to have the courage to come forward.
On the plus side, Travolta can now divorce Kelly (and Scientology) and go live his life.

According to the daily news:
The “Pulp Fiction” star’s camp allegedly floated the six-figure sum to Atlanta-based massage therapist John Truesdale to withdraw his federal lawsuit. And, according to the source close to Truesdale, Team Travolta wanted the accuser to keep his trap shut.
“That is completely false,” said Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer.
