Crew members accuse John Travolta of sexual harassment

Royal Caribbean crew member claims he reported the incident to his supervisors but they didn't believe him and he was eventually fired from the ship.

Royal Caribbean crew member Fabian Zanzi and one more unidentified employee filed a lawsuit against the 58-year-old actor. Zanzi in 2009 was in charge of VIP guests on Royal Caribbean. Speaking to Chilean TV news show "Primer plano", he detailed that Travolta "said that I had something on my neck, I thought it was lint. When he got close to me, he took off his white robe and he became naked. He hugged me and asked me to give him a massage and offered him $12,000 for sex"

Royal Caribbean crew member claims he reported the incident to his supervisors but they didn't believe him and he was eventually fired from the ship.

John Travolta vehemently denies accusations of sexual assault from the two masseurs - and the first accuser, known only as John Doe #1, has since called for people to wait for a court ruling before taking sides and says he has no ill feelings towards the star.

In a statement to RadarOnline.com, he said: "As the unidentified masseur in the John Travolta case I have an opinion that I wanted to share. I don't think anyone should form any opinion about Mr. Travolta, his family, his counsel, myself, John Doe #2, and our counsel. Instead, I would urge everyone to understand that guilt or innocence in our Justice System is decided by our court system. Too often these matters are decided by swaying public opinion through elements that would never be considered in an actual court case. 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."
