John Travolta Was Banned From Hotel for 3 Years After Misconduct?
John Travolta, 58-year-old actor who recently made headlines after being accused of sexual assault against a masseur last week, was reportedly banned from entering a hotel spa for three years after a similar incident took place.
After three unnamed men came forward with allegations of Travolta's sexual misconduct taking place while attempting to receive a professional massage, a former Peninsula Hotel employee recently told the New York Daily News that the actor has been accused of similar behavior in the early 2000s.
Michael Caputo, the former hotel staff member, told the publication why Travolta was banned from receiving a massage at the hotel.

"Travolta would always request a man for his massage, but after a while no one would take him," Caputo said. "It got to the point where they couldn't find any men to take him, and they had to ban him."
After the actor attempted to act inappropriately, the former masseur said staff members reported Travolta to management at the hotel. However, Travolta's attorney denies the claims.
"If he was banned, do you think he'd ever go back? He's never been banned, I guarantee you," Marty Singer, Travolta's attorney, told the Daily News. "The hotel never told John he was banned, and John never acted improperly."
While Singer suggested that Caputo was a "disgruntled employee" in search of fame, he was not Travolta's only accuser last week. Male massage therapists in Atlanta and California came forward to accuse the actor of inappropriate behavior, along with a cruise ship employee.
According to Travolta's representatives, the actor plans to counter sue his first unnamed accuser.
"Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame," Travolta's representatives said. "John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and plaintiff for malicious prosecution."
Travolta has been married to Kelly Preston since 1991. The couple had three children together, however their oldest son Jett died from a seizure in 2009.
