John Travolta has won again in his fight against several lawsuits
related to allegations of sexual assault.
Two lawsuits by two male massage
therapists who claimed sexual battery were dismissed in May. And now a judge has dismissed a
defamation lawsuit against Travolta and his attorney, Marty Singer.
The lawsuit filed by writer Robert
Randolph, who was quoted in an article and wrote a book about Travolta's
alleged sexual behavior, claims that Singer harmed him when he wrote a letter
in response to the book and article, according to court documents.
Judge Malcolm Mackey of Los Angeles
Superior Court dismissed the case Thursday because he found, in part, that the
letter has free speech protection.
A lawyer representing Travolta and
Singer applauded the decision.
"Robert Randolph's ridiculous
lawsuit against John Travolta and his attorney Marty Singer never should have
been filed," said Lynda Goldman. "Notwithstanding inane tabloid
fodder, two individuals who sued Mr. Travolta voluntarily dismissed their
cases, and Randolph's case was dismissed by the court. Anyone else who thinks
about suing Mr. Travolta should expect a similar result."
Attorneys for Randolph could not be
reached for comment.
