John Travolta in fresh sexual assault claim as THIRD man comes forward: Ship worker accuses actor of accosting him on cruise liner

Hello Friends!


John Travolta has been hit by fresh sexual harassment claims today after a third man came forward.

Fabian Zanzi has accused Travolta of accosting him back in 2009 while he was working on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
Chilean-born Zanzi was an employee on the liner at the time and was in charge of VIP guests.

New claims: Fabian Zanzi says John Travolta accosted back in 2009 while he was working on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship. He is the third man to come forward making sexual assault claims against the actorZanzi - the first of the three victims to be publicly named - told South American news website ABC.es that Travolta approached him and offered him $12,000 to have sex with him.

He told the website he refused the Pulp Fiction actor's advances.

Zanzi recalled: 'He had something on his neck. I thought it was a fuzz. As I approached, he took off his white coat and was naked.
'He hugged me and asked me to do a massage.'


Photographic evidence: Lawyers for Travolta claim this photo taken of the actor on the 16th of January this year in New York clears him of sexual assault allegations in response to claims by the first masseur

Reports suggest Zanzi has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Travolta - although this has yet to be verified.

The news comes following claims from two unidentified masseurs alleging Travolta sexually assaulted them. They are suing for $2m in damages.
Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer has strenuously denied the two initial claims and is yet to comment on the latest allegations.

The first two masseurs to come forward have been named as John Doe #1 and John Doe #2 in U.S. lawsuits. Both are being represented by lawyer Okorie Okorocha and claim the Grease actor made sexually advances towards them.

Yesterday Travolta's camp put forward photographic evidence which appeared to provide Travolta with an alibi with regard to claims by John Doe #1, who alleges he was assaulted by the actor on January 16 of this year at a Beverly Hills hotel in Los Angeles.

Travolta's lawyers, however, claim the actor was in New York City on that date - releasing a restaurant receipt from the Mr. Chow restaurant in NYC and two photographs of the actor as evidence.

It is claimed by
TMZ.com that two photos show him first at 4:30pm and then again at 5:21pm, at a fitting for his upcoming movie Killing Season in the Big Apple.

In a new development today, the
New York Daily News reports flight records prove Travolta landed in Westchester, New York, hours before sunrise on the day John Doe #1 claims the alleged sexual harassment took place in Los Angeles.

It supports the actor's alibi he was 3,000 miles away from the scene of the alleged groping.
In another bizarre twist the unidentified masseur has released a statement wishing Travolota 'health and happiness' - despite pressing ahead with the lawsuit.

In a statement to RadarOnline he said: 'Even though Mr Travolta and his counsel are on opposing sides in this matter, I do wish them good health, happiness, and want them to be judged with absolute fairness as our great nation affords all citizens regardless of their wealth or station.'

Yesterday a second man filed filed a lawsuit claiming the actor tried to grab his penis during a massage session on January 28 in Atlanta.RadarOnline claims to know the hotel where the alleged incident took place and has spoken to a member of staff there who says employees have been warned they will be fired if they speak to the media.

Okorocha, the lawyer representing the first two alleged victims - claims there are over 100 other men prepared to come forward with similar stories about the Hairspray star.

He told RadarOnline.com: 'By the time this case is over Marty Singer [Travolta's lawyer] will have to accuse more than 100 men of lying because I have been contacted by people, mostly men, that have first hand information about similar behaviour on John Travolta's part to that contained in the lawsuits.

Second accuser: Court papers were amended when the second masseur claimed sexual battery by the star




'I have already filed against him. I have witnesses and the potential for more accusers in virtually every state of the union who have called me. I'm currently in the process of investigating their claims and verifying the information before possible further action is taken.'

John - a devout Scientologist - has been married to Kelly Preston since 1991.
Their oldest child Jett died in 2009 at the age of 17 and they have two other children Ella Blue, 11, and 23-month-old Benjamin.
