John Travolta : Accuser # 2 Drops Sexual Battery Lawsuit

John Travolta is in the clear.

A little more than a week ago, two unnamed message therapists accused the actor of sexual battery in a lawsuit , and now both men have dismissed their claims.

John Doe #1 dropped his suit last week after it emerged that his claims of being groped in a Los Angeles hotel could not have been true, since Travolta was in New York on the day of the alleged sexual battery.

Days before the suit was dropped, Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, told Gossip Cop, "On the date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast."

And now John Doe #2 is also out.

On Thursday, the unnamed message therapist also asked that his suit be dismissed after having accused Travolta of similar misconduct in an Atlanta hotel.

Okorie Okorocha who briefly represented the two men, gave no reason as to why his second client sought to withdraw his suit.

Singer, who called the allegations "ridiculous" from the start, tells Gossip Cop he has yet to receive confirmation of the case’s dismissal.

John Travolta Will Face "Hell of a Fight from # 2 Accuser" Lawyer Says

As the sexual assault case of John Travolta's first accuser appears to have all but crumbled, the focus has shifted to allegations made by John Doe # 2 – and his attorney is gearing up for a no-holds-barred trial.


But he wants it carried out entirely in private.


"I want a full trial with a private judge," Okorie Okorocha tells PEOPLE, shooting down a report that he's in talks to enter mediation with Travolta's attorneys. "There is no mediation. There'll never be a settlement. I want privacy for sex crime victims."


"It looks like [Travolta's attorney Marty Singer] wants one hell of a fight, and that is what he'll get from me," Okorocha adds.


Says Bill Waldo, an L.A. sexual harassment attorney not involved with the case, "A mediation is an attempt to settle the case without a trial. But both sides could agree to a private trial instead where all proceedings would be confidential."


Despite a former cruise ship employee claiming Travolta propositioned him in 2009, Singer has denied any claims of wrongdoing.


"People are going to come forward to get their 15 minutes of fame," Singer tells PEOPLE. "This was all started by Doe #1, and everyone else came out of the woodwork with false claims."


Asked if evidence will be presented to refute Doe #2's allegations that Travolta assaulted him in an Atlanta, Ga., hotel in January, Singer replied, "We'll disprove it, but we need specifics first. It's hard to disprove something when you don't have more specific allegations."

John Travolta Lawsuit : Assurer # 1 Hires Gloris Allred

John Doe Number One, whose accusations of misconduct against John Travolta seemed to unravel last week, has a new lawyer.


"I represent John Doe Number One," famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred confirmed to PEOPLE. "Mr. Doe's lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice which means that he is still legally entitled to file another lawsuit against John Travolta if he chooses. We are in the process of conferring with him regarding the next steps, which he may wish to take. Our client and our firm has no further comment at this time."


Allred has a long history of taking on sexual misconduct cases against A-list celebs, including allegations against Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others.


Doe Number One alleged in a $2 million lawsuit filed May 4 that the actor exposed himself and acted inappropriately while receiving a massage in L.A. on Jan. 16. But his lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, withdrew him from the suit after Travolta's attorney, Marty Singer, provided evidence that suggested the actor was in New York at the time.


A second lawsuit filed by Okorocha on behalf of an Atlanta-based massage therapist still remains active.


Singer has vehemently denied the allegations as "false" and "absurd," adding, "People are going to come forward to get their 15 minutes of fame."

John Travolta : Accuser # 1 Dismisses Suit

The first man to accuse John Travolta of sexual assault has just filed papers dismissing his lawsuit against the actor ... TMZ has learned.


The masseur had claimed Travolta assaulted him on January 16 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. But as TMZ first reported, flight records show Travolta was in NYC that day ... and was even photographed inside the Greenwich Hotel.


The dismissal papers were filed this morning in California and specifically state that it is only John Doe One who is dropping his claim.


A second masseur -- John Doe #2 -- is still pursuing his claim, which alleges Travolta sexually assaulted him in an Atlanta hotel.

Just a thought : Wonder how much accuser # 1 was paid to drop his suit ? Well , Johnny Boy is loaded and can afford it . It do not prove Jonny Boy is innocent or guilty ... it just prove the guy got his price in the shakedown . He He

Tom Cruise : Conforts Controversies & Rumors In Playboy

Tom Cruise opens up in the June issue of Playboy, talking at length about past controversies, Scientology and Katie Holmes .

The actor, who’s about to turn 50, reflects on a long career in film that was nearly derailed several years ago by heightened media scrutiny, especially following bizarre TV appearances with Matt Lauer , Oprah and an explosion of tabloid attention concerning his religious beliefs and marriage.

Of the incessant gossip, Cruise says, "There’s what people say, and there’s reality, and you can’t worry about stuff like that. Do you wish they wouldn’t say certain things? Yeah, you wish."

He explains, "There comes a point when you just have to go, ‘You know what? Here’s how I’ve lived my life: I’ve never been late to set. I make films I believe in. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love.’ You just have to keep going and remember that."

"The other stuff? I hear it, I read it, I get it. But life is not a matter of trying to prove anything to anybody," says Cruise.

The star says he’s not afraid to battle false claims through legal means, especially when it comes to protecting his family.

"They know I mean it, that if I have to, I will sue," explains Cruise. "You start with a letter saying, ‘Okay, you know it’s not true. Apologize.’"

As for his wife, Cruise says of Holmes, "She’s funny and charming, and when she walks into the room, I just feel better. I’m a romantic. I like doing things like creating romantic dinners, and she enjoys that. I don’t know what to say—I’m just happy, and I have been since the moment I met her. What we have is very special."

Perhaps the biggest controversy around Cruise is his devotion to Scientology, which led the actor to criticize psychiatry during an infamous "Today Show" appearance with Lauer.

"What’s interesting is, if I don’t talk about my religion, if I say I’m not discussing it or different humanitarian things I’m working on, they’re like, ‘He’s avoiding it.’ If I do talk about it, it becomes, ‘Oh, he’s proselytizing.’"

Cruise explains, "I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it’s a search for how I can do things better, whether it’s being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve. Individuals have to decide what is true and real for them."

John Travolta ... Another One Comes Out The Woodwork !!


Ex-Cruise worker claims actor wanted neck massage ... and MORE !!!

John Travolta asked a room steward on a Royal Caribbean cruise line to give him a neck massage in his stateroom back in 2009 ... this according to an official incident report obtained by TMZ, but the documents don't mention anything about any overt sexual overture on Travolta's part.

 

The steward, Fabian Zanzi, claims he was delivering something to Travolta's stateroom when the actor asked him for a neck massage. Although the report doesn't expressly name Travolta, we've confirmed the actor was indeed the guest in question.

 

Fabian claimed he obliged -- and Travolta "then told him he was a beautiful person and invited him to return to visit him later that night."

 

Fabian claimed he refused because of a strict company policy banning RC employees from fraternizing with guests.

 

Fabian reported the incident and was disciplined for the neck massage, which is a violation of the no-fraternization rule. He subsequently left the company.

 

Fabian now says the encounter was much more than described in the incident report, claiming Travolta opened his robe and gave him a big hug while his penis was erect ... and offered him $12,000 for sex and silence..

 

Travolta's attorney Marty Singer tells TMZ, "The incident report now confirms Mr. Zanzi fabricated his story about my client. He never stated that my client did anything wrong. Obviously, if he had engaged in any inappropriate conduct he would have reported it to his supervisors."

 

A rep for Royal Caribbean tells TMZ, "Fabian Zanzi worked for Royal Caribbean International from October 2003 until May 2011 on various ships. In June 2009, Mr. Zanzi was working as a Room Service Phone Operator onboard Enchantment of the Seas."


The rep claims Fabian was NOT fired by the cruise company, but rather resigned on May 18, 2011 -- two years after the alleged incident .

Just wondering : Is Tiger Woods and John Travolta playing on the same playground ... just with different types of sex playmates . HeHe
