Poor John Travolta just can’t win. I mean, don’t get me wrong, he’s obscenely rich and famous and most of us would love to have his problems, but relatively speaking Travolta has been taking some tough blows. Travolta lost his son Jett at age 16, Grease costar and good friend Olivia Newton John died earlier this year, and his wife Kelly Preston died of breast cancer a few years back.
Then there are the issues with the Church of Scientology and the gay rumors surrounding Travolta. It had long been whispered that John is, in fact secretly gay. Not a big deal in Hollywood or 2022, but for the face of the “religion”, it wasn’t a preferred look. The church allegedly brought in people to cover up rumors and dig up dirt on accusers, threatening lawsuits and at times physical harm. Scientology doesn’t outwardly reject homosexuality, but claims it can cure it, so if the face of your religion turns out to prefer other dudes, that’s not a good look. Recently one of the individuals that was charged with protecting the Urban Cowboy dropped a bombshell in his new memoir. Check this out from Page Six:

What in the name of Lord Xenu is going on here? We all knew Travolta could sing and dance, but little else about him suggested he might like playing for the other team. After all, Travolta married Kelly Preston who was a model, actress, and a dime.
He recalled chatting to the “Grease” and “Pulp Fiction” star in a hotel suite. Read more
