In a recent tell-all book by former Scientology high-ranking member Mike Rinder, shocking revelations about the church’s efforts to cover up John Travolta’s alleged homosexuality have emerged. Rinder claims to have witnessed Travolta kissing a male masseuse and subsequently engaging in intimate activities with him. The Church of Scientology reportedly launched aggressive PR campaigns and legal actions to suppress rumors about Travolta’s sexuality, fearing it would damage his image as a heterosexual family man and reflect poorly on the church’s beliefs.Despite persistent rumors and accusations spanning decades, Travolta, married to actress Kelly Preston, maintained a public persona of heterosexuality. Former Scientology executives suggest Preston may have been aware of the rumors but chose to ignore them, influenced by the church’s teachings to dismiss negative media claims. Travolta’s continued allegiance to Scientology, fueled by Preston’s devout beliefs and the church’s support, may have contributed to his prolonged secrecy regarding his sexuality.
The revelations shed light on Scientology’s control over its members, even prominent figures like Travolta, and their willingness to manipulate public perception to protect their interests. Travolta’s alleged double life and the church’s efforts to conceal it underscore the complex dynamics within Scientology and the lengths to which they go to maintain a facade of perfection.
