It’s not Hollywood worship. It’s trolling for more anti-Travolta screed.
Sick puppies. Let the guy be.
I agree that this society pays about a thousand times too much attention to celebrities. That does not, however, lessen the tragedy of this situation that we've been made aware of. Freepers would express equal or greater outpouring of grief on a thread regarding the loss of any child. This is one we know about.

It is always sad when a parent buries a child.
He is a scientologist that avoids mental health doctors ( not sure about medical doctors)
This kid has autism according to folks that knew them, and there was no medical/ mental health treatment. His “seizures “were so bad that they had to have 2 “nannies” with him at all times.. I wonder why the kid was not medicated.. seizure after seizure ends up with brain damage and eventually death.If he needed 2 people all the time, it sounds like uncontrolled seizure activity was a way of life.
I feel sorry for any parent that loses a beloved child, but have to wonder just how proud they really were of this “defective” child . After all scientology is supposed to protect the adherent from having bad things happen to them . God know Travolta has probably dropped a fortune to be audited to perfection..
My sympathies to the children of scientology.. they have crazy parents
How sad for this family. He really favored his Dad.
TMZ has learned more about the medical condition of John Travolta’s son, Jett, and the medication that ultimately didn’t work.
We’re now told the grand mal seizures Jett suffered were “frequent and extremely serious.” Travolta’s lawyers, Michael Ossi and Michael McDermott, tell us “each seizure was like a death,” with Jett losing consciousness and convulsing.
We now know Jett was taking a drug called Depakote, a strong anti-seizure medication. There have been reports Travolta refused to give his son anti-seizure meds because of Scientology but those stories are not true.
Jett had been having seizures on an average of every four days, until he started taking Depakote. Ossi and McDermott say the drug initially worked, reducing the frequency to approximately once every three weeks.
Jett took Depakote for “several years,” but it eventually lost its effectiveness, according to Ossi and McDermott. They say the Travoltas were concerned about possible physical damage. And, Jett went back to having around one seizure a week. So Travolta and Preston, after consulting neurosurgeons, stopped administering the drug.
Dear Lord Jesus,
We pray your comfort on JT and his family during this horrible time. We pray you give him strength and you grace upon him. We pray that the family will feel you embrace them.
In Your Holy Name
Amen
Gosh and all these stars flying to be with them? I feel they just want to be in the limelight of this sad situation. If I had just lost a son....I would not want to see or be with anybody except my immediate family.
Now is not the time.
Condolences to the Travoltas, their extended family and Jett’s friends.
I join you in this prayer as well...
Amen!
I hope they have a strong marriage. They’re going to need it big time.
Liberal—”shiberal”—What difference does it make? The family is in pain because they have lost a precious child. We should all be in prayer that God will be with them in this time of loss.
WOW , his son is the SPITTING IMAGE of him!
My heartfelt sympathies to Jett's parents, sister, family and friends. He was a beautiful child.
Sure is... and the little girl looks like mom!
So? He and Kelly have gone to Iraq with the USO to give support to our troops, what have you done for them?
