The author of a salacious book about
alleged celebrity sex encounters in Los Angeles' massage parlours and spas has filed a suit
against JOHN TRAVOLTA and his lawyer, insisting they defamed him in an effort
to wreck his credibility.
In legal documents filed in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ.com, Robert Randolph - the
man behind You'll Never Spa in This Town Again - claims Travolta and his attorney
Marty Singer falsely alleged the writer had mental issues and had spent time in
a mental institution.
In the legal papers, the writer's attorneys state, "Several of the
statements made by Defendant Singer, on behalf of Defendant Travolta, are untrue
and amount to defamatory statements sought to disparage the quality of
(Randolph's) property and reputation and to induce members of the public to
believe (Randolph) is an unreliable source and thus abstain from
purchasing" his book.
The suit, filed by attorneys from Los Angeles firm Golden & Timbol, alleges causes of
action for trade libel, intentional and negligent interference with prospective
advantage.
According to the website, the plan to discredit Randolph worked - because retailers were
deterred from selling his controversial book.
R
andolph is suing both
Travolta and Singer for unspecified damages.
Travolta was caught up in a spa sex scandal last month (May12) when two
masseurs filed and then withdrew and dismissed sexual assault suits against the
movie star.
