(TMZ) The cruise ship steward who claims John Travolta exposed himself during a neck massage and then embraced him is suing the actor for assault.Fabian Zanzi was working on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2009. Travolta, who was a passenger on the ship, had ordered food and asked that Zanzi deliver it to his stateroom. When Zanzi was in the room, Travolta allegedly asked for a neck massage. Zanzi claims when he reached for Travolta's neck, the actor dropped his robe and exposed his erect penis and then forcefully embraced him.
Travolta allegedly then told Zanzi he was "beautiful" and said, "Take me, I will take care of you, please."
Zanzi says he resisted, and then Travolta offered him $12k to maintain a wall of silence. Zanzi says he went to cruise ship management to complain but they refused to allow him to write out any details regarding nudity or sexual contact. Zanzi is suing for unspecified damages.
Update: Travolta's lawyer Marty Singer just released a statement, claiming, "This is another ludicrous lawsuit with inane claims. It is obvious that Mr. Zanzi and his lawyers are looking for their 15 minutes of fame." Read the rest of his statement here.
