In his recent tell-all book, former high-ranking Scientology member Mike Rinder reveals shocking details about the church’s efforts to cover up John Travolta’s alleged homosexuality. Rinder claims he witnessed Travolta kissing a male masseuse and engaging in intimate activities with him. The Church of Scientology reportedly launched aggressive PR campaigns and legal actions to suppress these rumors, fearing they would damage Travolta’s image as a heterosexual family man and reflect poorly on the church.
Despite decades of rumors and accusations, Travolta, married to actress Kelly Preston, has 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 allegiance to Scientology, supported by Preston’s devout beliefs and the church’s backing, may have contributed to his prolonged secrecy. These revelations highlight Scientology’s control over its members, including prominent figures like Travolta, and their efforts to manipulate public perception to protect their interests. Travolta’s alleged double life and the church’s concealment efforts underscore the complex dynamics within Scientology and their lengths to maintain a facade of perfection.
