John Travolta's 'inappropriate behavior' got him tossed from Peninsula Hotel's massage spa: staff Travolta’s stay on the blacklist was about three years, and followed a complaint to the hotel’s bosses, said Michael Caputo, a one-time Peninsula masseur
Staff at the swank Peninsula Hotel claimed John Travolta was banned after several creepy run-ins with the spa’s male employees.
But the temporary ban in the early 2000s was eventually lifted and the “Pulp Fiction” star was welcomed back, says a former staff member.
Travolta was banished to the Fifth Ave. hotel’s “no-thigh zone” after his inappropriate antics led to an insurrection, said Michael Caputo, a one-time Peninsula masseur.
“Travolta would always request a man for his massage, but after a while no one would take him because of his inappropriate behavior,” Caputo said.
“It got to the point where they couldn’t find any men to take him, and they had to ban him,” recalled the masseur known as Magic Mike, who claimed he worked at the Peninsula from 1992-2008.

Only a homo would let a man rub on him.
It’s fairly common for heteros to get massages from men (and non-lesbian women to get massages from women.) Ask any professional sports team. But by the sheer number of complains against Travolta, looks like that’s not what happened here.
his idea of the mile high club is counterintuitive to what the accepted meaning is and just plain wrong.
I get the athlete thing. But if I spend 50-100 bucks, I want a hot chic to massage me. Am I wrong? ? I couldn’t relax with a dude rubbing on my thighs... that’s just weird..
Why do you think he is called John Revolta?
I don’t care what ZERO says, if a man touches my Johnson he is a dead man. . . . . .
Not me... I like the tension, even though it ain’t gonna happen.
I think it would be important to know if Travolta was ever abused by homosexual pedophiles in Hollywood when he was a young star.

What does zero have to do with this? We are talking happy endings..
He’s got chills and they’re multiplying. He wants to Grease his lightning.
(Sorry guys, i just HAD to! LOL!)
A man won’t request another man.
WOW! Travolta had an insurrection that lasted over 3 years! I bet his wife was happy.
It’s not like Travolta was riding in the back of a Limo snorting coke with Larry Sinclair... or showing pictures of his wiener on twitter.
I hope this brings him down- but good.
Never liked him.
“led to an insurrection”
Today’s media, they can’t even spell erection properly
>>I hope this brings him down- but good.<<
No way!
He’ll get a medal for this in Hollywood.
"It moved!"
Insurrection happens in college after 18 beers..
Actually, the details in the lawsuit about what he allegedly did and said are pretty damming. Especially the part about how the powerful hollywood homos told the young star to put out or he would not get the part.Nor is this claim the first time Hollywood moguls have been accused of hitting on young prospects,homosexuality, or even pedophilia.
Another aspect of the charges, if true, was that he was turned to the gay side by this coerced sex. The fact that young boys can be turned gay by older men is a severe breach of “liberal” dogma, so these details in the lawsuit will fall down the Memory Hole asap.
Update:
The first ‘accuser’ has been dropped by his attorney after it became clear that he was confused about exactly what date it was that Travolta allegedly assaulted him.
I put all my money on Marty Singer to WIN.
Not true.
My husband is a medical massage therapist specializing in injury rehab. His practice is about 50%-50% men and women. I take his appointments and any male client who insists on only a female therapist is referred to someone else. We suspect that some of those who do not want a male therapist are seeking some degree of sexual release. Usually, when such a client is politely informed that this is a medical massage practice, they actually apologize for assuming it was sexual.
Glute work is done _through_ the sheets and all female clients wear gowns. He has Amish clients of both genders and many physician referrals. Actually, more women are insecure about a male therapist than men. When someone is hurting, they want expertise, above all. To anyone making assumptions about a male massage therapist, I want to know if they insist on a female proctologist or if they have reservations about any male MD who specializes in urinary or genital problems.
As to homosexuals, some are really disgusting and I wash the sheets, so this is a personal observation. Anyone who behaves in this manner is banned immediately, including being asked to leave in the middle of a session.
We have had female physician referrals where the MD warned us that the client had a history of presenting herself provocatively. In such instances, I will be present, usually charting. If that doesn’t dissuade the client, she is simply asked to find another therapist. We have licenses to protect and malpractice insurance to maintain. No one needs to be sued.
Massage is a legitimate modality for soft tissue injuries. It is not sexual. As another poster said, just ask any sports team. Deep tissue work, especially when practiced for 6 hours/day, is difficult physical work. Most women cannot sustain this sort of practice. It takes stamina, strength and athletic ability on the part of the therapist, who is trained in methods to mitigate the strain on their own hands and body.
I have worked on bodybuilders of both genders and I can tell you from experience that it is similar to attempting to massage a ham. I had to ice my hands after these sessions.
When I was in training, one of our male instructors gave us the best answer for any male making inappropriate demands:”We are only trained to work on _soft_ tissue.”
Well I guess Carrie Fisher knew what she was talking about. Must be a little tense around the Travolta household these days.
ok if you start to read the “petition” either lawyers in California can’t write or they let the paralegals draft the “petitions” and then sign them without reading them. I guess California must be a fact pleading case, because the incident is laid out in too much information style and is just revolting.
“California Legal Team” is the name of the “firm.” Thank you God, I don’t live in California.
I’d wager his wife knows.
lol
If you read the complaint it says:
An enraged Travolta then screamed at the masseur and explained that he “got where he is now due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ days.
And
Hollywood, Travolta explained, is “controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect favors in return for sexual activity,” adding that he had “done things in his past that would make most people throw up.”
And finally:
Travolta remarked that when he started out, “he wasn’t even gay and that the taste of ‘c**’ would make him gag.” But he was smart enough to “learn to enjoy it, and when he began to make millions of dollars, that it all became well worth it.”
While not pedophilia it is abuse. Disgusting.
Slimmer fingers are a plus.
LOL! Well it could be moving from shrinkage.
So, basically, Travolta is a male whore. Albeit a well paid one.
Yeah, it does make me sick. But, sadly, there is probably no shortage of “men” who would make the same devils bargain.
But now he’s rich, has a beautiful wife, and could probably use his celebrity to get other beautiful woman and he chooses....a guy? He is mentally deranged.
I can respect that some people have medical problems and need to the strength of a male massuse.
Fortunately, I’m not in that category. However, I still treat myself to the occasional massage for relaxation and use female massues exclusively. As a man, I would feel really uncomfortable having another man touch me. Just couldn’t relax under those circumstances.
Yep, a Faustian bargain with the Devil.
(Heh, only kidding...it was something in the way you wrote it that brought that image to mind immediately!)
I’m the same age as Tom Cruise and I always wondered how that guy got movie parts right out of High school. I mean *right* out of High school, with absolutely no experience whatsoever. As soon as he graduated in 1980 (same year as me) *bam* he got a part in the movie Endless love with absolutely no connections whatsoever, right off the street, then a part in Taps. Two major flicks in one year.
That’s just unheard of, especially for a short guy like him. Not even actors who have major connections, like the Sheens, or Sean Penn whose father was a director or Nicholas Cage whose uncle was Francis Ford Coppola got *that* lucky. What always happens is wannabe actors end up waiting tables or taking some other menial job and it takes years of auditions and bit parts in commercials, TV shows. That’s the route Brad Pitt went, it took him YEARS so you can’t say it was Tom Cruises “good looks”. No, there was something else going on with this guy and I really think he did exactly what you are talking about. He did the homo deal. He probably went to an agent or casting director and was told to “perform” lol.
Is John Travolta heading for a crash landing - or is he an innocent victim of a malicious plot? THIRD man accuses star of sexual assault
Chilean-born cruise line worker Fabian Zanzi said the star stood naked in front of him and offered $12,000 (£7,000) for sex in 2009
Attorney representing the two U.S. accusers claims up to 100 other men are set to come forward with similar allegations

LOL! “Any of you homos touch me...I’ll kill ya”
I understand completely. I can have a whole body massage without expecting something else, and I would only want a woman to do it.
What I find curious is a guy who goes to get a massage expecting something else.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Rub and tug, Bahbahbahrino, rub and tug, Bahbahbahrino, rub and tug, Bahbahbahrino…
Are you kidding?
ZERO basically said its OK to be homosexual. . . . . .
Its OK with me as long as you and your PARTNER leave me the hell out of anything that is sexual. Unless you are two hot lesbians getting it on.
Not a problem. . . . . . .
ping for later
