Is A Gay Tell-All Book About John Travolta In The Works?

Just as John Travolta must have thought all the furore over whether he’s gay or not had died down, comes news that someone may be  trying to sell a tell-all book about a six-year relationship it’s said Travolta had with his former pilot, Doug Gotterba.

Admittedly the news does come from the National Enquirer, but they have gotten quite good with these sorts of things. They say Gotterba is shopping a book around, where he and a couple of ghost writers will tell his story.

Gotterba’s ex-boyfriend Robert Britz, says the relationship did happen, saying, “Doug told me right at the beginning of our relationship that he’d had a homosexual relationship with John Travolta in the 1980s. Doug said John was constantly grabbing at his genital area, but he put up with John’s sexual advances because working for him was ‘lucrative.’” The relationship continued until Gotterba started to dislike Travolta’s weight gain between films and his sexual advances began to “repulse him.”

There’s speculation the book could end the film star’s marriage to Kelly Preston, which is already said to be under strain due to allegations Travolta made sexual advances to two masseurs and a cruise ship steward. Preston’s been keeping a low profile so it’s tough to tell what she may think.

There doesn’t appear to be any deal for the book yet – which may depend on Gotterba having some proof the relationship happened, in order to ward off potential lawsuits – but it certainly puts the pressure on Travolta once more.
